i was baptized in my early 20s so now realize was too young mentally to understand the full impact of that decision and the long term impact on my life.. the org should stop putting pressure on young ones to get baptized..

hi i'm not sure if i remember it correctly but in the mid 2000 onwards i thought matters were recorded by the name bro so &so and the scripture say colossians 3:5 then say "uncleanness" .. which according to jws could mean almost anything of a sexual nature including child abuse ,so people could be hiding behind that .. or have i remembered correctly..

Former elders did you ever ?

hi did any former elders ever suggest that bro & sis should go to the police?.

there was a group of sis with various health conditions and on medications had a gathering and drank a lot wine , one of the sister physically assaulted another sis , myself and a another elder were assigned to deal with it after hearing what happened i said to the sis she could contact the police the other elder a lot older gave me a dirty look , the sis said i trust you bro to deal with it .. i think that's why witnesses don't get the police involved because we have been convinced that we can trust the elders and the organisation , and to trust and have faith that god knows all the facts and can read hearts and will deal with it in his time scale and encouraged to leave it with him and not to bring reproach on his name..
