  FMF Rant on Abuse and JW Apologists: The Single Root of the Whole Issue(s)

  by freemindfade in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  for the jw apologists, they debate certain factors to down play all the recent sex abuse information in the jehovah's witness organization.

  and there is so much focus on "two witness rule" and "parents can report" the "elders aren't legal authorities" and many other smoke screen issues.

  a lot of these issues and discussion are down stream from what i believe to be the root of the issue.

  This is getting more and more disgusting: "JW Abuse Victim Told to Bottle Her Tears"

  it took six years and three trials before a senior official in the jehovah's witness church was jailed for sexually abusing his daughter.. the only support the jehovah's witnesses gave the woman was to tell her to" put her tears in a skin bottle".. .

  I'm trying to find the original article I read this in. The first article I read this quote in was on my phone early this morning. Apparently, the victim had written the branch, and this was their response back.

  This wasn't the Elders telling her to "put her tears in a skin bottle." It was the actual branch.

  Governing Body, painted in a corner, now what?

  by Wasanelder Once in

  the governing body have painted themselves in a corner, so to speak.

  if they acknowledge their response to abuse claims was insensitive, unloving and inadequate they are denying the belief that "god's way" is best and risk losing abuse cases.

  if they stick with it and say it is "god's way according to the bible" they will be seen as cult leaders and risk losing abuse cases.

  They already responded in advance to this.

  From the July Broadcast:

  While we cannot control everything that an individual might say, it is clear that over the decades protecting children from abuse is a top priority for this organization. We are proud of our reputation in this regard and we look forward to the time in God's new world when no one, young or old, will ever again be a victim of abuse.

  That will be their spin. That this didn't occur because of organizational policies...it was individuals not following direction.

  Even though we know that to be false, that's how they will spin it.

  Bumping this to the top because, relevant.

  The spin in the July Broadcast is "enlightening" in light of this week's Royal Commission hearing.

  Key quotes:

  Prior to that time, many governmental, educational, and religious organizations were somewhat naive about the magnitude and the complexity of the situation. Others knew of the problem and covered it up.

  Where have you been looking for the past 5 years, it’s been on ex-witnesses radar since then in PDF. Your God Raymond Franz the self proclaimed prophet. He figured if Joseph Smith could do it, why couldn’t he, but then again, you would have to have known his motives back then like us real people that knew about he's immorality. - SimonSays

  This is one of the sheep that thinks Raymond Franz wrote the Commentary on James.

  Get informed: it was written by Ed Dunlap.

  2. experiences

  the press is reporting that over 1,000 cases of abuse were hidden from authorities in australia.. australia has around 68,000 publishers.. if you that ratio applied to the u.s. also, there could be over 14,700 cases that were covered up here.. if the ratio held the same worldwide, that would be over 117,600 cases.. just let that sink in a little..

  love seeing the hears grinding as they are asked questions... you can see the conflict in their mind as they weigh the .org's response vs the right one to make.

  There are quite a few that are being put out to pasture due to turning 70 or are older already. Tom Chin is one of these who has given all his life from infancy on and is now getting thrown under the bus. The guy is in better shape than I am and soldiers on like he was only 45. But rules are rules no matter who in the GB 2.0 pulls them out of their own ar$e.

  Is that the same Tom Chin that was at Patterson Bethel?
