  	Protect Your Children!
  	Common Misconceptions

  In this series: Your Child Is in Danger! How Can We Protect Our Children? Prevention in the Home Common Misconceptions If Your Child Is Abused Related topics: Let Us Abhor What Is Wicked Comfort for Those With a "Stricken Spirit" Child Molesting You Can Protect Your Child		Misconception: Child abusers are usually strangers, deranged misfits who abduct children and use physical force to abuse them. In the vast majority of casesfrom 85 to 90 percent by some estimatesthe abuser is a person the child knows and trusts. Rather than using force, abusers often manipulate the child into sexual acts gradually, taking advantage of the child's limited experience and reasoning ability. (Compare 1 Corinthians 13:11 and Proverbs 22:15.) These abusers are not the drooling loners of the stereotype. Many are quite religious, respected, and well liked in the community. According to the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation, "to assume that someone is not a pedophile simply because he is nice, goes to church, works hard, is kind to animals, and so on, is absurd." Recent research suggests that it is also wrong to assume that all abusers are male or that all victims are female. Misconception: Children fantasize or lie about sexual abuse. Under normal circumstances children lack the experience or sophistication in sexual matters to invent explicit claims of abuse, although some small children may become confused about details. Even the most skeptical of researchers agree that most claims of abuse are valid. Consider the book Sex Abuse HysteriaSalem Witch Trials Revisited, which focuses on false claims of abuse.* This book admits: "Genuine sex abuse of children is widespread and the vast majority of sex abuse allegations of children . . . are likely to be justified (perhaps 95% or more)." Children find it enormously difficult to report abuse. When they do lie about abuse, it is most often to deny that it happened even though it actually did. Misconception: Children are seductive and frequently bring the abuse on themselves by their conduct. This notion is particularly warped, since, in effect, it blames the victim for the abuse. Children have no real concept of sexuality. They have no idea of what such activity implies or of how it will change them. They are therefore incapable of consenting to it in any meaningful way. It is the abuser, and the abuser alone, who bears the blame for the abuse.Compare Luke 11:11, 12. Misconception: When children disclose abuse, parents should teach them to refrain from talking about it and to 'put it behind them.' Who is best served if the child keeps silent about the abuse? Is it not the abuser? In fact, studies have shown that denial with emotional suppression may be the least effective way to deal with the trauma of abuse. Of the nine coping methods used by one group of adult survivors studied in England, the ones who denied, avoided, or suppressed the issue suffered the greater emotional maladjustment and distress in adult life. If you experienced a terrifying assault, would you want to be told not to talk about it? Why tell a child such a thing? Allowing the child the normal reaction to such a terrible event, such as grief, anger, mourning, will give him the opportunity eventually to put the abuse in the past. * In some divorce cases, contending adults have been known to use an accusation of child abuse as a weapon.

  This is what I was always told of ones coming into the org. and then leaving again. As a dog returning to its own vomit. My question is, if you were born and raised in the "truth" and left then to return later, is that considered returning to ones vomit? Or does that not apply to returning to the org? Just a thought.

  You are outgoing and content with yourself. You make friends easily and have high goals to aim for. You are too good for drugs and all that bad stuff. (Some people would even go as far to say you are a goody-two-shoes.) :) But that's okay. Stay the way you are and you will get the most out of life!

  WHICH MEETING WAS THE MOST BORING?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the more meetings you go to the more drivel you hear.

  elder's meetings were terrible because all you ever did was gossip about how everyone wasn't doing this or that.

  meetings for field service sucked.....enough said on that.

  My appetite is my Shepard

  I always want.

  It maketh me to sit down and stuff myself.

  It leadeth me to the refridgerator repeatedly.

  It leadeth me in the path of

  Burger King for a Whopper.

  It destroyeth my shape.

  Yea, though I knoweth I Gaineth

  I will not Stop Eating

  For the food tasteth so Good.

  The Ice Cream and Cookies, they comfort me.

  When the table is spread for me,

  It Exciteth me.

  For I knowth that soon I shall dig in!

  As I fillith my plate continuously,

  My clothes runneth smaller.

  Surely bulges and excess weight shall

  Follow me all the days of my life,

  And I will be FAT FOREVER.

  My sister is also 12 years older than me. I guess I am blessed b/c she just lives 15 minutes from me and we are very close. She has been like a mother to me.
