dateline-"soon!anydaynow!justaroundthecorner!".
just read bendrr's post.. been out of the loop for awhile.. what's the deal with this so-called piece/expose on jw-pedophilia.
that nbc's "dateline" is supposed to be airing?.
MadApostate:
I'm not sure if you know this but I am the former mod101 from H20, former as in they changed Mod numbers when they moved to the new site.
Most know I was one of the more active mods there. I can tell you your impression of people' feelings about Farkel are wrong. He was one of the more read and well liked posters at H20.
Frankly I miss him there.
Kismet - who believes he knows a little more about H20 than Mad Apostate.
hi gang, .
to make it easier for the out of towners (especially the ones driving in from the us), how does everyone feel about having our next get together on a saturday...say saturday, august 18th, starting at 4pm?
(i'll be working on the 11th and the 25th...).
Count me in. I have to teach that weekend so probably will not be available till shortly after 5 but will definitely be there!!!
Sunday brunch might be a great idea too for the out-of-towners.
Looking forward to it.

let's discuss solutions for a second regarding the pedophile issues.. how do you feel the society should handle things?.
should the society be entitled to 'ecclesiatic privilege' as are other religions?.
should such a loophole be allowed when it involves protecting children?.
Tina:
Thank you very much. I appreciate your grace and handling of this..I sincerely hope MadApostate will follow your lead.
Thanks again.

MadApostate & Tina:
If this is going to turn into a flame war I would respectfully ask that it be taken up elsewhere.
This thread is very important to me and I don't want to see it veer off.
Thank you for understanding.

How should the Society respond locally with a convicted pedophile. Should they ever be allowed back in the congregation? If yes to what level?
How should local elders handle reports of alleged molestation? One child makes an accusation, what should they do? At what point should they notify authorities? At what point do they notify the congregation?
i am going to be at a trial in ritzville, washington.
the town is about an hour southwest from spokane, wa.
i will be there on august 14th, which will be on a tuesday.
No my friend you are twisting my words. or I am not saying it clear enough.
Someone else said it was to protect the wife.
I only stepped in when you started saying screw her she deserves it for staying with him.
My response was to your "Why would she stay with him?" Any woman who has been abused or battered and reads your comment will be deeply cut and hurt.
I was trying to bring the focus back to the real issues. I guess in your own way so were you.

there are several issues going here Msil.
One should the Society be entitled to 'ecclesiatic privilege' as are other religions?
Should such a loophole be allowed when it involves protecting children?
How should the Society respond locally with a convicted pedophile. Should they ever be allowed back in the congregation? If yes to what level?
How should local elders handle reports of alleged molestation?
Silent Lambs are speaking up about how the Society has hit behind the cloak of ecclesiastic privilege and actually harboured pedophiles in the congregation. Or kept information hidden allowing a pedophile to strike again and again.
There already is an Internet list of know child molesters. This site does not need to become a mirror site to it.

msil:
Why does his wife stick with him? What is the matter with her? Does she think he is innocent?
Do you not think this is asked by every person who hears of a battered wife or of the many women flocking to shelters with their kids after years of abuse?
The answer to the question you ask is not an easy one and very complex. How do you know she too may be a silent victim in all this?
I understand your anger against ther perpetrator but let's not allow it to spill out against others, or do you feel that any woman who stays with an abuser should be prosecuted as well?
