  Ok, I need to be more specific on question 2.

  2. What is the Society's responsibility or liability with regard to sexual misconduct of its members? For example if a young person is delt with judicially for sexual reasons is there a responsibliity when this person is again involved in sexual misconduct perhaps after he reaches 18 years of age and is guilty raping a minor? This person is neither a Pioneer, MS or Elder. But rank and file.

  On question one I was told the Society keeps records for up to 7 years locally and destroys. And that branch records are destroyed. Is this true?

  Thanks for your answers

  i wanted to consolidate a lot of the information about the attack of anonymous against the watchtower society.

  if you disagree with the tactics of anonymous, that's fine.

  this information may still be useful as the public is made more aware of the the dangerous policies of the watchtower society.

  We are entitled to our opinions just as long as we're not involved in any illegal activity. Exactly!

  As far as concerning contacting various agencies, I have no personal knowledge of single conviction(other than police agency) from anti-Watchtower activities. That being said, I have been wondering if we have been rather shy on this area. I have some personal experiences of working with the CPS and other agencies on Watchtower abuse cases. I can't disclose any more info publicly yet but will PM you(LV101) for detail info.

  Anyone who knows Watchtower abuse cases(sexually, emotionally, mentally, physically, negligent) should contact the local Police, Child Protective Service, FBI, and/or any related agencies. If victim is an elderly, there are a special hot line for it. Infomant will be remained as anonymous. Your identity is protected by law.(in the US)

  LV101, Actually there's another thing we can do as well. You've mentioned Child Protection Service(in the US) earlier. It is a good agency to report any child abuse cases(sexual or not). The Agency work with the law enforcement. You can also report the abuse cases to FBI if abuser crossed the State line with his/her victim. There are also verious agencies and community advocates that also can help to prosecut the abusers and will look into Watchtower's criminal involvment on the cases. PM me if you want more info.

  Cartoon -- Watchtower keeps 20,000 pedo cases secret

  the facts are not funny and i apologize in advance to those who make take offense.

  sometimes, however, an illustration of certain facts has the effect of slapping the appropriate people in the face in order to wake them up.

  as always, to copy for your campaign -- right click on image (windows machine) and follow menu instructions.. len.

  Daniel 10:13 "....Michael one of the chief princes."

  by I_love_Jeff in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  daniel 10:13 describes michael as "one of the chief princes.

  " this possibly indicates that there is more than one archangel, because it places michael on the same level as the other "chief princes.

  jehovah's witnesses state, "well, the prefix "arch," meaning "chief" or "principal," implies that there is only one archangel.

  OP, a good point!

  pseudo, I used to believe the Michael=Jesus teaching for 25 years as a Jehovah's Witness. It wasn't until recently from reading the Bible without Watchtower publications, I finally realized that can't be the case.

  According to Hebrew 1:1-6, Jesus become better than the angels(verse 4) and all God's angels do obeisance(New Word Translation, 'worship' in New International, Living Bible, etc in verse 6) to Him. The scriptures made it clear that Jesus is better and higher than any angels period! So then, how Jesus can be Michael the archangel?

  ninja, I am glad you had positive experiences on this issue. I am also glad to hear some elders out there using common sense and trying to do the right thing.

  However, your niveness based on your limited experience(is this first-hand experience by the way?) and your unfounded accusation toward the rape victims of the Watchtower Society and its elders is preposterous. I am glad my daughter is not reading your thoughtless comment. Only if you knew what these young victims had gone through! That very same attitude judged and revictimized 13, 14 year old innocent victims of rape. The elders closed their ears and hearts when they were approached for help. We thought they were shepherds. Didn't realize they were oppressive wolves that will not treat the flock with tenderness(Acts 20: 28).

  You said, " A lot of people are putting in here is out of context and also in anger." Is that how you felt from the vocies of victims of serial rapist/pedophile of Jehovah's Witness elder in San Diago(court transcript is available on this site)? What about Candace Conti or numerous other victims? Were they all out of context in anger?

  How was this even possible? He was a serial known(among elders) pedophile for more than decade and yet made all the way to a congregation servant position(same as Presiding Overseer). What would your father say?

  Is it fare for me to say you sound like that of judging, self-righteous, lack of experienced elders?

  You, as well as those elders, would change mind, once one of your/ their own become a victim of the Watchtower Society(not that I ever wish that to anyone). Lack of empathy!

  What under the radar said.

  Just add one more. Suggest your sister to research the word 'disfellowship' from the New Word Translation.(there's none). Then have her research the word 'expell' from NWT. There are about 3 or 4 incidents of it in NWT. They are all have to do with the Pharisees and the Jewish system based on their rigid rules and traditions. Account on John chapter 9 is really interesting.
