BoC, Yes, I remember that reasoning coming out (late 70,s I think) AFTER the authorities were arresting JW's for child abuse AT the KH! For those of us who had already left home by this time the NUUU light was TOO LATE.

Why don't parents of an abused child go straight to police, why go to an elder first??
by FeelingFree ini hope i don't come across as judgemental but having read a lot on the current child abuse cases and the different threads on here, i am left wondering why on earth a parent of an abuse victim would go to an elder with the problem first and not straight to police?.
as a parent myself i know that if anything like that happend to my child (this applies to when i was still an active jw as well as now) i would not hesitate in going to the authorities as soon as i found out, it wouldn't of crossed mine or my husbands mind to go to an elder.
maybe after we had reported it but definitely never as the first port of call.

You are asking this question of parents who are already prepared to let their child DIE if they needed a blood transfusion. (I was one of them) It is no wonder at all that a JW parent would follow the elders instructions, after all, they are representing GOD! Dubs are taught that being DFed is worse than death as death results in being in Gods memory and being DFed is complete alienation from God. This is why parents receive this threat from the elders -it works! Also many in the cong have never gone to the elders with a problem and had it go horribly wrong. They have NO IDEA the pedo won't get expelled and might even be promoted!

I am confused on the JW's 1000 year reign doctrine. Please explain it to me.
by booker-t ini have always thanked randy/dogpatch for creating free-minds because i always felt i was the only one that felt that jw's were teaching some nonsense.
i admit i still think they got some of their teachings correct but one doctrine i think is full of bologne is the 1000 year reign doctrine.
if jesus came into power in 1914 and now it is 2014 does that mean jws believe it will only be a 900 year reign?

I agree with Lost Generation who said that the documents WTBT$ were asked to produce would be damning. The Sheparding the flock book and the general letters to the BOE discussing WT procedure in child sex abuse cases (which have been posted for us on this site) make WBT$ look bad enough. Can you imagine what a sh$!storm the specific directives in these cases would cause? Wowza! Thanks Barbara!

I am JW.ORG
by LogCon infamous quote from wuthering heights revised.. '... i am jw.org!
it's always, always in my mind: not as a pleasure, any more than i am always a pleasure to myself, but as my own being.
so don't talk of our separation again: it is impracticable...'.
