JW in Paso Robles, CA arrested for child porn and lewd acts

by JWCart in

hi, the jwcarts heard one of our own might have been arrested for child porn, it's impossible to fathom a witness could do something so cruel and wicked to little children.

i heard a few sisters ask the elders and they told our sisters to keep quite, when i was alone with my pusher, she said hubby knew him and said he thought he was a elder in the paso robles, california congregation.

in human years i am 14 years old (we age fast) because of the break-neck speed of technology, we are soon put to pasture when new models arrive.

JW cart I'm glad you weren't molested by that perv in your KH but I fear it was simply good luck that you escaped being his victim. No doubt your pusher had no idea there was a pedo in your midst since the R and F are not notified of such. The carts in your Haul may have escaped unscathed but how 'bout the children?

As far as being smashed into a beer/wine opener, just bite on something hard (like your pusher's head) when it's over you can be happified that you are actually performing a valuable service!

Did you go to your prom or belong to a "worldly" club while you were a witness?

i didn't go to the prom but i did belong to a chess club until the awake article said it was a war game and suggested true christians wouldn't play such a game.

Even though my parents were strict JWs and I was not allowed to join any clubs or go to school games, dances etc, I DID attend my junior prom and my senior ball. Why was I allowed you ask?

Answer: My date for both was my JW fiance'!! We double dated with another JW couple both times to combat "worldly" associations. LOL!

Witness logic at its best: engaged at 16 to prevent fornication.

Sam's watch

by Slidin Fast in

i just started to watch the february broadcast when i noticed a metallic rattle over the drone of sam's voice.

(does that man speak with a mouth full of chowin' tobacco or is he choking on the rubbish he reads off the autocue?).

yep it's his rolex.

The important thing to remember: Regardless what brand of watch he's wearing his suit matches his Bible perfectly. The question is: Did Sam order a suit made to match the nu Bible? Or did he already have the suit and order the matching leather for the Bibles?

Elders refused to help police investigation into the rape of a teenage girl

by Gadget in

church leaders refused to co-operate with a police investigation into a sex attack by one of their congregation on a teenage girl.. jehovahs witness paul atkin has now been jailed for five years after he admitted sexual activity with a 15-year-old.. a court heard the south shields based branch of the church carried out their own investigation after the allegation came to light and atkin was booted out.. but when police came knocking, church officials refused to help what was then a rape allegation, on the grounds of confidentiality.. prosecutor deborah smith told newcastle crown court: it would appear there was some form of investigation by the church.. we know the defendant was disfellowshipped as a consequence of that investigation but there has been no disclosure of any minutes of meetings with the defendant and the elders have refused to provide statements to the police, despite the fact the defendant is no longer a member of their congregation, on the grounds of confidentiality.. atkin, of east moffat street, south shields, was initially accused of rape but the charge was dropped when he admitted sexual activity with a child.. the court heard his victim was 15-and-a-half when he had sex with her.. miss smith said: she did not wish to have sexual intercourse with him.. the crown accept, having discussed matters with her, the defendant may reasonably have believed that she did.. she did not fight back or shout out at the time of the incident.. the court heard the woman is still on anti-depressants and says her self confidence has been shattered by the ordeal.. in a statement read to the court, the victim, who is now an adult, said: this has had a major effect on me and i cannot trust men.. i bottled everything up and as a teenager i turned to drink and drugs.. i hope he gets sent to prison and gets what he deserves.. judge simon hickey jailed atkin for five years and said he must sign the sex offenders register for life and abide by the terms of a sexual offences prevention order for five years.. the judge told him: this has had a huge effect upon this young lady.. gavin doig, defending, said atkin has a good, supportive family and partner and said his family describe him as a hard working man with a job who will face devastating consequences if sent to jail.. he added that it was atkin himself who had brought the matter to the attention of police.. mr doig told the court: this defendant made a very bad mistake a number of years ago.

he has not made any further mistakes.. he is extremely sorry he committed this offence knowing, as he did, the complainant was under age.. http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/south-shields-jehovahs-witness-jailed-8567927.

'She did not fight back or shout out at the time of the incident.'

Well, there you have it. No struggle no rape. What, are we living in the thirteenth century?

by stuckinarut2 in

"we missed you at the last meeting" = "where were you?
