Ignored Aspect of Pedophilia
by Francois inmuch has been said about pedophilia among jws, as it should be.
but there is one aspect of it that i don't remember anyone bringing up, and it's very, very telling.. in something like 95% of all cases of pedophilia, the spouse knows what's going on.
ninety five percent.

This topic hit home 'cause I wrote a book about it! I thought I'd share this -- an excerpt from my latest review of my upcoming book, Father's Touch (www.fatherstouch.com), from a reviewer in Dover, England. It's a page and half long so I've edited it. Thanks for reading.
FATHER’S TOUCH By DONALD D’HAENEPub: American Book Publishing, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, expected 2002
Genre: Biography, Sociology – Paedophilia, Males, Incest.
Rating 9.5/10“Surviving the worst kind of treachery.”
Anyone who has regard for the future can only view the destruction of a child’s innocence as one of the most heinous crimes in the human lexicon of brutality. When this occurs in the family home and is perpetrated by a parent with an obvious duty of care, the betrayal and it’s consequences are immeasurable.
Daniel and Jeannette D’Haene emigrated to Canada from Belgium in 1957 where they settled in a rural area and had four children. Ronny the eldest was followed by Donald, the author of this book, then Marina and Erik followed. On arrival in Canada both Daniel and Jeannette were Roman Catholics, she more devout than he. Daniel felt constrained by a diktat by the church in Belgium the faithful should not read the ‘Bible’ which would confuse them. This must be peculiar to the clergy at that time and place, since the same was not true then in UK. Daniel was attracted by the Jehovah Witnesses who actively encouraged religious study and became a pillar of the local community group. Eventually he persuaded his wife with a mixture of rhetoric and beatings she should change her faith too.
Whatever the expectations and demands of the Witnesses, Daniel believed in his own home he was the master, and his wife and children, his property. They were expected to be obedient to every whim and caprice....
....
There is very little literature on the subject of father/son sexual abuse which is still for some a taboo subject. This well written and fluent book should be required reading for all engaged in the protection of children and the victims of today. These may care to know Donald more than survived his past and is today a successful art journalist, actor and TV presenter. Lawyers should also view the last chapters of the book as a textbook summary of how not to prosecute a case and judges can gain a refresher course on what poor administrative services can do to ‘justice’. In this instance, Donald and his family were the victims of secondary rape by the very system which allegedly should have redressed their wrongs and protected them. Although this matter came to trial in the early 1980’s in Canada, whilst there is a better understanding of the evils of sexual abuse today, there are still errors of judgement by social workers and laxity in prosecution on both sides of the Atlantic.Finally, the author should be commended for his courage in writing this book. To discuss the unspeakable acts committed by a parent and expose the induced guilt and shame created with undoubted finesse is a triumph of talent and the will over adversity.

Hey Scully...ditto, Dec/84 and I am a Canadian
I supposedly dissassociated myself in '95 (that's when an announcement was read anyway.)
I've only been to one "meeting" since but that was a funeral. Does it count?

Oh DuJour? You didn't like Amadeus ..it is in my top 50 list..it was great!
God, there are so many bad movies, where does one begin? Actually some are so traumatic, I block them out!I hated Batman starring George Clooney
I hate most movies with Tom Cruise (but I keep trying)
ditto Brat Pitt
One of the latest Frankenstein movies starring Robert DeNiro as Frankie (the only movie I've not liked him in). I blame it on its director/star Kenneth Brannah
I also hated his Much ado about nothing -

It's always a challenge to write "The Truth", not rationalize our own painful experiences and remain objective - all at the same time. I know I never succeed in such a balance but I'll never give up trying.

When You Were Devout, What Was The Most..

1. we know the bible is true, it proves itself true.

Even though I was someone who never doubted for one second...
I used to ask,
1. how is it possible there were no Christians from the time of Christ up until 1800 and something? So for over 1000 years there were no good people on the earth?
2. How could someone as self-sacrificing as Mother Teresa be not worthy?
3. How come I can't watch fantasy shows like Bewitched and I Dream Of Jeannie? -
