  Sickening Dilemma

  by ItsMyLife in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i would like to have your opinions on what i should do about a situation please.. i have recently discovered that a 'brother' in the congregation (which i no longer attend) is a child molester.

  i've seen documentation from his psychiatrist dated a few years ago, stating that he doesn't feel that this person is likely to offend again.

  the 'brother' has said to the elders at some point that he has it under control but cannot be 100% sure it won't happen again.

  In what you think of as the Worldly world- known sex offenders must register with the police so that they community knows who they are. There are searchable databases of pedophiles and sex offenders so you know if you are neighbors with one.

  This is because of Megans law.

  If so called worldly people can protect children with information- why cant JWs do the same.

  Now that you have the information, there is no dilemma at all. Report it and tell the engaged woman.

  That is the right thing to do.

  EDIT: I completely disagree with DATA DOG. Absolutely do not confront the abuser. You put yourself at risk. She does not need to know every detail WHAT ARE YOU THINKING DD!!!!!!

  When will my daddy be resurrected?

  20:12, 13: i saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and scrolls were opened.

  john and revelation both say that the dead will be judged according to their deeds.

  that resurrection is for those who rule with christ for the thousand years.

  I am sorry, but your Daddy will not be resurrected.

  Consider seeing a grief counselor, it will help more than this.

  i'm 19, and i'm still currently a jw.

  i guess i'm a born-in, or whatever you guys call it.

  i've had some serious issues with the faith at the moment, and sexuality is a huge part.

  Magotan I seriously wish I could just hang out with you. We would sort this out and you would be on your way to a fabulous, fearless, sex positive, homonormative life.

  :)

  YOUR LIFE CAN ONLY GET BETTER FROM HERE.

  Once you embrace and love who you are, things will be be so much better than you can even imagine right now. Your parents opinion will be something you accept, but it wont matter to you the way it does now, because you will be FREE.

  SPECIAL SEATING ARRANGEMENTS FOR ELDERS AND ELDERETTES ARE HERE!

  we have special seating arrangements in my kingdom hall where other families know they are not to go near them!

  a trouble making family would intentionally take our seats until we made their life hell by lying about them.

  they left our paradise kingdom hall and now i am working on changing the color of our the seats(purple, scarlet) the elders and elderettes will be sitting on.

  Special Post: 1 year anniversary on JWN - My intro finally posted

  by Awakened at Gilead in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i came on jwd a year ago tomorrow, having realized that jws were not the truth, quite painfully, on march 29, 2008. i was here within a week, and within 2 months i was officially dad by my congregation.. ever since joining, i have never actually wrote down a comprehensive look at why i left the organization.

  what doubts caused me to leave?

  why did a gilead grad leave what i once considered so precious?.

  Thanks Like a Bird- I can read all of Awakeneds blogs but the site doesnt seem to have any entry which might be his INTRO where he tells his story- as he mention in the OP.

  I would really like to read it. Maybe some at freeminds or others know how to find this intro.

  Should i go?

  so, a good friend of mine, a pentecostal christian, invited me to go to a retreat with her church.

  we're the same age-19 years.

  we were friends before i became a witness and she was always patient and caring with me especially throughout my arrogant spell as a witness.

  Love Thy Neighbor? Not my JW neighbors.

  i live next to jw neighbors.

  i was a jw 1000 miles away over 20 years ago, never here.

  as far as i know, nobody here knows i once was, including the neighbors.. so there wouldn't be any reason for them to shun me.

  Not a big deal. Why do you need so much attention for such a minor act of kindness.

  If you cant do it without applause dont do it.

  Normally I would say- if you can handle it- follow your curiosity. Go for ONE day and see what happens. Think critically about your experience.

  But with Pentecostals!!! May be a waste of time.

  Hey Ms GG!

  Guess what- I was NEVER allowed to date.

  I snuck around a little, not much, and then developed an entirely secret life.

  I left home at 18 so after that I experimented a lot.

  I would let my kids date at any age they were interested in someone- with adequate education about sex and contraception of course.

  I would encourage them to be honest with me so I knew what they were up to and were in less danger than if they had to keep secrets.
