  Abuse Problem Greater with the JW's?

  by Kismet in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i am interested in hearing comments from you regarding whether you feel the child abuse problem is greater within the jw 'religion' moreso than other religions or identifiable groups.. i know some have made the comment that it is and others say there is no difference.

  on what do you basis your belief either way.

  is it strictly that the environment is conducive to pedophiles co-existing with the cong or based on empirical data?.

  IMPORTANT - JWD Closing Down

  by Kismet in

  2. friends

  the discussion board and chat located at jehovahs-witness.com will be shut down permanently as of midnight (gmt), sunday august 18, 2002. .

  this is primarily due to the recently added stress on simon and his family as a result of the moderator issue.

  he simply does not want to see his hard work come to naught and is shutting down while still at the peak of it's success.

  Hero and Role Model

  by Kismet in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the recent thread about the nyc firefighters got me thinking about role models.. who are your role models now or your hero?

  how does that compare to when you were an active jw?

  thinking back my role models while in the org, were a couple of older brothers and sisters who had served jehovah faithfully for decades, suffered in varoius ways but never lost their faith.

  1989 Letter to BOE

  by Kismet in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i am looking for a copy of the 1989 letter to all bodies of elders in canada wherein it discussed the handling of legal matters including a paragraph on handling allegations of child abuse.. i have checked at randy's and kent's sites but could not find the canadian version.

  since this is going to be used in a court setting a scanned copy would be best, but we could make due with just the text version.. also rather than re-doing the work someone already may have done, i am looking for a copy of all society articles written on the subject of child abuse.

  this interested party has also requested a copy of the pay attention book especially the chapters on forming and handling a judicial committee.. if you have already printed this out or have an extra copy of the 'pay attention' book please let me know at [email protected] and i will provide an address for you to send them.

  Jaracz is not important

  by Kismet in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  while i understand the attention given to the 20 seconds of comments by jarcz and the damning arrogance he displayed, his role on panorama was not important.. the strength, the courage of the victims that spoke up on that show.

  the raw courage it must have taken to back into the room under the house, to stand in front of a camera and talk about these despicable acts perpetrated against them, that was the most important thing.. i take my hat off and deeply respect the courage it took for these survivors, (i loved the sound clip from the candlelight vigil, regarding victim vs. survivor) to stand up and roar.. congrats to all involved in standing up to the borg.

  as a caution tho, to all those that remain silent do not feel you have to become an advocate and media star in order to heal.

  Mature Minor - Discussion

  countries, states and provinces all have different rules as far as when someone legally becomes an adult.

  is it when they turn 16, 18, or 21?

  should age be used at all to make such a determination?
