  My apology to Victims of Molestation within the Watchtower

  by jst2laws in

  2. child-abuse

  newbies and the wt molestation problem

  stone hearted jw's who dismiss the child molestation problem within the watchtower, such as scholar, actually do us a favor.

  once our blood pressure returns to normal we can reflect rationally not only on how badly victims of molestation have been treated inside the org but also upon how disgustingly insensitive the watchtower has been to public outcry.

  Ladylee,

  Steve I appreciate your apology. Some may have seen this before but you are right. So many new ones are coming in here. They need to know that as an elder you realized how bad the WTS policy was and how the elders operate from "policy" instead of their hearts and minds.

  Yes, I know there was a lot of conflict in the hearts and minds of several elders. I was in touch with some bros in the legal dept and service department on a case of molestation and I believe the fellows I dealt with were genuine, they cared. There were others who's hearts and minds were seemingly shut down, just robotically obeying WT rules. It is a cold system. It was the system, bad policies, that screwed people up. If anyone would like to talk about there experience but not post it publicly, please PM me or someone you trust, like Ladylee.

  Blondie,

  Thanks for finding that report on the Boston case.

  once upon a time there were two cities.

  now as it was in those days, these cities were lawless.

  each man did as he pleased and according to how each one himself wished without regard for his neighbor.

  Hello Satanus,

  He has been coming swiftly now for 2000 yrs

  Good point. However, since Apocalypse has an inovative perspective on the four horsemen, maybe he will have a thought on the seeming delay. I hope he returns to respond. Nevertheless, I like the idea that one of the worse things to happen to the modern world has been fraudulent white horsemen riding forth in the name of righteousness. I can buy that one.

  Marvin,

  Yet a full set of these letters is available to those whom the WTS would have JWs shun.

  LOL. Remember when we were ordered to remove from our computers all digital copies of the PATF book? I reluctantly obeyed. But before long I found an excellent, searchable copy of it on the internet. (thanks Kent and JanH) As an elder It was soooo easy to find what I was looking for, thanks to the apostates.

  Reexaminer,
  

  PS to the body of elders:

  This letter should be read to the congregation by one of the elders in a clear, articulate manner during the Service Meeting Part scheduled for the week of January 30, 2006.

  http://www.reexamine.org/images/CCJW_HLC_letter.pdf

  This is amazing. The letter of January 3 to the congregations may not be the one we are looking for, but it is wonderful that us apostates get the new light long before the 'faithful'. Even 99% of the 'anointed' haven't recieved this spiritual direction as yet.

  My applause.

  Newbies and the WT molestation problem Stone hearted JW's who dismiss the child molestation problem within the Watchtower, such as Scholar, actually do us a favor. Once our blood pressure returns to normal we can reflect rationally not only on how badly victims of molestation have been treated inside the Org but also upon how disgustingly insensitive the Watchtower has been to public outcry. I, as a former elder, would like to apologize for my part in neglecting victims of molestation. I want you to know some of us wake up and take a stand. Those elders who do not wake up, may one day take 'the stand' in a court room. Did you know that a court in Boston almost two years ago found the elders may be sued for failing their 'fiduciary duty'. This case seems to be ongoing but do you elders know what that means? You may become the defendant for doing what the watchtower told you to do. Newbies here at JWD who endured the Watchtowers mismanagement of molestation, you are not forgotten. With the focus lately on the Watchtower's misrepresentation of medical facts in their blood policy I want you to know the molestation issue is still hot in courts across the USA. In fact, those who have been here for only weeks, months or a year, have to told your story? We want to hear from you. Don't reveal more than your comfortable with. If you would like, just sign in and say I'm one of them. You will find a world of support. Let Scholar and the Watchtower know you are here, and their indifference toward you is what hurts now.

  To scholar: re: child abuse

  by Lady Lee in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  in another thread you posted the following:the whole child abuse issue is simple apostates in their desperation trying to make something out of nothing for they delight in creating controversies and making mischief.

  i was one of those victims.

  it isn't a "delight".

  Damn Hillary,

  Well, analysing Scholar is probably about as useful as analysing Scholar's pet carpet-lice, but I will continue in my assessment of him in the hope that by some sort of emotional catharsis I can hold on to my dinner.

  I miss your colorful style.

  a friend of mine told me 2 jws came to her home the other day.

  they started preaching to her and she said "i am a christian and i read the bible".

  they said "that's great because that's what were doing is teaching from the bible".

  Champion,

  We have never met so I welcome you to the board.

  Yes, they have your number. But whether or not the boys are after you depends on who came to the friends door. If they were elders, then they are looking for you. But if they were publishers, they may be responding to the rumor mill and doing a little vigilanty work on their own.

  Either way it may only be a matter of time. If they find you all they have to do is ask you the Big Question and they can make the announcement. I'm glad you are emotionally prepared for it, if it happens.

  Hello Apocalypse,

  This analysis on Revelation reads a little like a Freddie Franz article which may be why it was overlooked. So please, like a cyber Watchtower Study conductor, let me ask a few questions implying I actually understand the article and lets see if the smart sisters in the audience well help the rest of us to understand. Question 1 The white horseman of chapter 6 is one of four horsemen who ride forth bringing what to the earth, 'good' or 'bad' things? 2 How does the horseman of chapter 19 differ from the horseman of chapter 6 as to from where it rides forth? 3 What follows the horseman of chapter 19 as compared to what follows the horseman of chapter 6? 4 So the man on the white horse of chapter 6 riding out as part of the four bringing grief to the earth is actually WHO or WHAT? (This is where the guessing game begins with answers like, "its higher education", it's "the banking industry", no it's "George Bush". Finally sister RightSmart, who understands the way Freddie thinks, answers "The horseman of chapter 6 riding forward on his white horse is a human imposter who pretends to ride for God's righteousness but instead misleads and harms mankind." The conductor is relieved, he no longer has to pretent that he knows where he is leading and says a silent prayer thanking God for sister RightSmart. Well, you have lived up to your name, Apocalypse. I have to admit, this is a new perspective on the white horseman for me. In fact, it makes more sense than anything I have read on it. You just need to dumb it down for this Watchtower Conductor. Thanks for the work you put into it STeve

  Stillconcerned,

  In Japan HUMANS eat it ( I learned that from the Awake magazine, and they never make things up, do they?).

  I liked Jimmy Carters reply decades ago when asked, if made president, what he would do about the Kudzu problem.

  He responded, "I didn't know there was a problem with Kudzu. Georgia has enough for everyone."

  This IS going to hurt.

  Great news, and I think West70 may be right about the WT layoffs. They have demonstrated they are a devious bunch.

  Is this another example of the Holy Spirit Dollar directing Jehovah's Organization?

  Perhaps someone would like to start another thread enviting Bethel Lay off victims to check in and register for a possible class action suit.
