Thanks, Tina and Tracy! I'll be in Missouri, then, once hubby's visa comes through and he joins me, we'll be heading up to Oregon direction. I might get in a side trip to Texas while I'm at it. :-)

How do you pack three years of life into four suitcases? We'll be storing alot of it at our beach house for the next couple of years until we return to the land of Oz. Guess I'll go get ready to climb into my balloon!

How Do You Feel It Should Be Handled?
by Kismet inlet's discuss solutions for a second regarding the pedophile issues.. how do you feel the society should handle things?.
should the society be entitled to 'ecclesiatic privilege' as are other religions?.
should such a loophole be allowed when it involves protecting children?.

Thanks, Tina! Hugs to you too! I agree with everything you said!
Hey, I am busier than a one-legged man in a butt kicking contest. Getting ready to go to the States for awhile is a huge task! Sure will miss Oz weather and beauty, for certain!

How do you feel the Society should handle things?
I think they should report all suspected cases of sexual/physical abuse to the proper secular authorities and let them investigate it.
Should the Society be entitled to 'ecclesiatic privilege' as are other religions?
NO. For the simple reason that they're NOT really qualified ministers.. no proper training in dealing with Pedophilia or emotional traumas.
Should such a loophole be allowed when it involves protecting children?
Absolutely NEVER.
How should the Society respond locally with a convicted pedophile. Should they ever be allowed back in the congregation? If yes to what level?
That depends on what the convicted pedophile's attitude and actions are. If he is rehabilitated (very seldom), then yes, forgiveness should be given, but he should NEVER be allowed in a position of authority where children are involved.
How should local elders handle reports of alleged molestation?
If the child makes the accusation, the proper authorities should be notified and allowed to investigate it. PERIOD
One child makes an accusation, what should they do?
They should have the child's parent (if they're not the abuser) seek medical attention for the child, and the proper authorities should be notified!
At what point should they notify authorities? At what point do they notify the congregation?
The authorities should be notified immediately. Then, if they find the person guilty as charged, the Congregation should then be notified, promptly. I still believe in innocent until proven guilty, but once sexual abuse HAS been established, every effort should be made to notify those in the sphere of the one committing the abuse.

White House Lunatic Imperils Us All.
by Englishman innot just content with attempting to scuttle the kyoto accord by claiming it was anti-american, bush has now pulled the usa out of an international agreement on tightening up controls on chemical warfare, citing almost exactly the same concerns.
can't you blokes across the atlantic impeach this lunatic?.
..... fanaticism masquerading beneath a cloak of reasoned logic.

Australia's John Howard is a jellyfish who wouldn't know how to keep his word if he tried. He's the most spineless politician I have ever seen in my life. He and George Bush are brothers in that they are both very lacking in character.

It's simply amazing, how we can be online here, and talk with people every day, grow to care about them and their feelings, and not realize until something like this comes up, that one of our online friends are going through what is probably the most hellatious thing they have ever been through in their lives.
Here Farkel sits, day in and day out, giving of his incredible mind and heart to try to help others to see the cult and it's poison for what it truly is, while he himself is going through this most incredibly difficult ordeal: Watching a parent slowly fade and die. It is one of life's most painful blows, an excruciating twisting pain that it deals us. I'm glad that you shared with us, Farkel. My thoughts are with you and your family at this time.
I truly admire your spirit, to walk up to that podium and pay tribute to your father, no matter what. YOu're quite a man.
Hugs,
