the pedophile problem among the jws is very significant.
over a year ago i made some extrapolations from a poll on jwd that conservatively suggested about 5,300 jw molesters in the usa, or about (1) jw pedophile for every (2) jw congregations in the united states.
given that pedophiles molest many victims, at least 70 or more in their criminal careers by conservative estimates, this can add up to a lot of victims --- not all are necessarily jw victims --- but still the collective crimes of jw pedophiles would average over 370,000 victims.. since that time that over 5,000 victims have come forward to email, phone, and write letters to silentlambs --- as stated last night on connie chung/cnn.
Well Six I'll have to admit you know a lot more about stupidity than I do, but in this case you're obviously wrong.
The trouble with discussing something with a fool is that they bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience.
Done with you.
the watchtower society often tells of how important the name "jehovah" is because it is used about 7,000 times in the hebrew scriptures.
there is some credibility to their logic as it suggests where priorities are.
using this approach, let's examine their "priorities" with respect to apostates vs pedophiles:.
Your statistics are proof of nothing. Using this methodology you could make a very good case that "the" is one of the WTs highest priorities, right up there with "a" and "and'.
You really need to stay away from the mathematical stuff Amazing, you clearly don't understand it.

A lot of emotive rhetoric accomplishes very little, likewise hyperbole.Most of the breast-beating is just self-indulgence.
Cold blooded, dispassionate, factual discussion accomplishes a whole lot more.
i suggest when the society quotes somebody, we should confirm that they are usin the quotation in its context because the society is a master in deceiving and taking out of context everything.
here you are another three lies more.

You're way out of date on the earthquake thing. They gave up on that some time ago.
i'm curious to know if anyone has noticed different behavior from their dub family and friends since the aug. km about disfellowshipped ones.
i've noticed that my mother is no longer emailing me, nor is she responding to my emails.
i really wish that she would just come out directly and state that she will no longer talk to me instead of just ignoring everything, thinking i will go away.
Most people will pay about as much attention to the KM article as they do to the rest of the KM articles, which is not much.
these are some comments that some have made to me recently:.
at meeting-a brother: "that anderson sister was lying and here's how i know-no sister has access to those files, only brothers in position do.".
in field service-a sister: "look what happens when we don't wait on jehovah and take matters into our own hands.".
One bit of spin that I've heard is that Barbara Anderson only worked in the subscription department and never had anything to do with research. That originated with a guy that claims to have known her at Bethel.

Using 70 victims as an averagel for Witness pedophiles seems to be way too high, and arbitrarily cutting it in half doesn't make it any better.Every case that I have any knowledge of has fallen into the "situational pedophile" category. I've read through most of the accounts on the Silent Lambs web site and that seems to hold true there as well. The Witness life style really doesn't seem to lend itself to the serial predator scenario either. Can anyone supply any signifiacnt number of cases with high numbers of victims? The cases that are now in court certainly don't support the claim of a 70 victims average.
I also have a problem with the "pedophile paradise" terminology. From the interviews I've seen on television I think the media finds it overblown as well. I think it damages the credibility of the argrument frankly, and that Bill Bowen would sound a little more balanced if he stopped using it.
(Bill don't continaully shake your head "no" when the interviewer is reading the Wt policy statement. Makes you look like a nut case. Wait until they finish and then shake your head.)

the teenager confessed before the court that he intended to have sex with the camel.
ghaith said the lashes will be administered in six installments of 40 lashes each with an interval of seven days.. .
Considering the Saudi propensity for lopping things off the dude is probably glad he's only getting 240 lashes!
any words that are in italics or caps are used to stress that particular word the way the co stressed it.
i have this talk on audio tape.
the quotes are exact!
Man! What kind of congregation has 109% & 107% at the Talk and WT Study? 101% at the book study is unheard of! I haven't heard numbers like that for years. Must be some real stalwarts in your area.
i just had to go to meeting tonight to hear the material on the internet.
it was the usual stuff about pornography, many scriptures and three mentions of how jehovah was giving this material to the slave to give to us at this time, so there must be a reason.
of course, satan got three mentions too as one who is trying to ensnare us into abusing the net.. and of course, nothing on the net can be trusted, per the fsd.
The guy that handled the part in our hall was pretty positive for the most part, just gave the usual cautions that most people will give when they're talking about kids and the Net. Said he used it himself for all kinds of things. The interesting thing was the comments from the audience, I had no idea so many were netwise. Some real surprisese there.
