  Does the RC have the names of the 1006 abused victims?

  by Dumplin in

  i've updated my jw wife on the highlights of the rc proceedings each day as they occur.

  but tonight she said something that made my blood boil (which i am usually in complete control of).

  she said something to the effect that victims need to not dwell on what happened and let it control their lives.

  possum - what you describe is absolutely typical treatment by JWs.

  I think the transcript from the first day of the RC stated it best when summing up the religion: "The Jehovah's Witness Church is preoccupied with sin and sinning." They are a punitive religion - experts at finding the bad and absolutely feeble when it comes to healing the sick, feeding the hungry, etc. And it seems that anyone who tries to reach out gets to feel their contemptuous displeasure too. Delightfully non-helpful.

  Listener - maybe you're right. It's up to the victim to reach out for help first. So tragic when you compare that to the good Samaritan parable. Maybe witnesses are right: they'll get the help they need in the new system. (heavy sigh)

She said something to the effect that victims need to not dwell on what happened and let it control their lives. I told her to nip it in the bud because she's never been a victim and can't possibly give advice or know what victims go thru, and so on. Then I started thinking about what they go through and what they need to recover from their sense of isolation and worthlessness. How tragic for those who never get help. Many suffer for years, perhaps the rest of their lives.

  Anyway, I thought about the RC and the empathy they show toward the victim - always focused on the victim getting the support and help they need. Do they have the names of these 1006 victims and is it something they would look into - that is to say, would they reach out to any of these victims to see if they might help them or how they are coping? Seems like that would be a concern of theirs. But I wouldn't know how they would go about it or if they even are able to do that. I just feel so bad about the ones left behind, that's all.

  Even as a child, I never trusted others who had "secrets". Criminals and other corrupt people do things secretly. Lack of transparency arouses suspicion and begs investigation in a rational person's mind. When i was still a MS I was handed a copy of the Shepherding book by my book study conductor just out of the blue one day. I don't know why he did that - maybe to see my awe-struck reaction to it - i can't say... but his remark to me was: there's nothing in that book that isn't in the Watchtower publications already for everyone to see. hmmmmm....

  I'd also like to thank you Barbara for the advance alerts you give about upcoming tv/radio broadcasts, etc.

  I use those as opportunities to "accidentally stumble" upon a show while my JW wife is sitting with me watching/listening. I do believe by her comments that one of her glued-shut eyeballs is peeking open.

  Thank you for everything, Barbara.

  anyone know who this monty baker is?

  i'm sure this guy will be able to tell the rc how things work behind the scenes without all the evasiveness, being that he is an "apostate".

  the only truly "historic" event

  Not exactly Stephen Lett's idea of historic: begging for money and poor-mouthing the hard working witnesses.

  Oh, the irony!!! i thought irony meant entirely made of iron. (i'm learning so much from this site) ;)

  Cecil the Lion deserved what he got...That's right. I said it.

  lions are notorious murderers of beautiful zebras, antelope and other graceful exotic animals.

  cecil probably contributed to the deaths of hundreds if not thousands of animals.

  what happened to him was justice.. you reap what you sow.

  flipper - elders who wink their eyes at their own wrongdoing

  well put.... you mean like pharisees and hypocrites, right?

  Seems strange to me how self-righteous people can go to such extremes like not believing their own daughters in their time of need, but then turn right around and attack them for the slightest remark made in jest. JWs whole thinkiing process is a paradox.

  JC said it best: "It is in vain that they keep worshipping me" and "they strain out the gnat then gulp the camel right on down". yep, JWs are truly an aberration of the human race.

  Wasanelder: this boob was speechless until he heard Theospeak ...Lol - you're sharp! (but i noticed it too) That lawyer's got skills, as Napoleon Dynamite would say. He skillfully untied Bowditch's shoelaces like a magician so that the fool could trip over them. ATM3 is grinding his teeth at this guy and pounding his fist saying over and over again: goddamn Idiot!!!
  Also, regarding the "has anyone else noticed the gorgeous blonde" remark - two words: man hands
