  If some kids got molested, the parents should have told the police, it wasnt the watchtower's fault....

  by Joliette in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  aint that about a bitch!!!

  when my brother said this to me the other day, i tried my hardest to try to explain why the watchtower's polices on sexaul abuse and molestation in the past, and he said that it was the parents fault (not the watchtowers fault) that these children got molested, and that its the parents job to protect the children.

  i tried to tell his thick headed, simple minded self that back in the day parents were threated with disfellowshippment and dissassociation if they reported this to the police.

  Wow, no replies yet...I'm surprised. I can't believe my brother would say something like this, but I always have to remember, its that mind control.

  I think a lot of older (maybe younger ones) JW's are going to attempt/commit suicide....(READ)

  i've been in lurkmode lately, but with the news that i heard about don cornelius dying, it had me thinking...as this world goes on, and people are coping with this world...i think a lot jw's are going to realize that the end of the world isnt coming...there gonna become more despert, the realities of having to work, pay off debts, etc.

  a lot of jw's are going to realize that no magical sky daddy is come and 'take away there problems' and i think the more that they start to realize this, they get older, and there gonna start hating the reality that they have to face.

  i had a good friend who's father-in- law (who was a ministrial servant) who had bipolar disorder, killed himself in his car back in 2007. it was sad.

  @ Steve2: Rumor has it that he killed himself because he had a lot of health issues and fananicial problems. For some reason it made me think about Jehovah's Witnesses, especially the elderly witnesses. How the majority of them have been in this organization for over twenty plus years and the end hasnt come yet. For freakin sakes were in 2012? Doesnt that wake a lot of people up? Yeah I know he was never a j-dub but it just made me think.

  Truthseeker, so right...I dont even want to think of the fact that someone close to me might kill themseleves but I think sadly that its going to start happening more often. Trust me, I dont want to think of it, but I got a little surprise when I turned on my computer and found out that Don Cornelius killed himself. You would have thought someone his age would have died of a heart attack, or cancer. Not suicide.

  I dont know. Theres this hopelessness in people that I am seeing that I've never seen before. EVER!! I dont want to think about it but I think its gonna start happening more often now that time is going by so fast. But I do think that younger ones are going to leave, and this is gonna cause the older ones to feel more depressed, hopeless, etc.

  Oh and for the record I dont think life is hopeless if people would let there guards down and just love one another. But since people are people I dont believe thats ever gonna happen. (At least on a large scale) especially the division within current Jw's and Ex Jw's.
