jury gives abused girl $2 million .
an 11-year-old son of a church pastor molested a 5-year-old in 1997. .
Red Dakota- wonders if this will be reversed
Ain't Oregan, Liberal country? If anything, I'd think the judge would square it. $2mil X 2 = $4Million
I can't see a judge "screwin" a girl a second time. What happened to her may very well last a lifetime( emotionally, mentally).
WT- Time for some fast "New Lite"
bill bowens attack on ray franz: .
i very seldom find time for checking the discussions going on at various debate sites, and wasnt aware of bill bowens statements about ray franz in his original post of oct. 9, 2002 at 7:26 (now evidently altered), until a friend quite recently sent my a copy of it.
i was not only surprised but was shocked at his statements.
Because I stated the we have found no evidence to show that child molestation is more common among Jehovahs Witnesses than in the community at large, you ask:
"What data do you and Mr. Persson based your conclusion on?"
Answer:
On the lack of data to the contrary. If such data exists, I am not aware of them.
COJ,
August 11, 2002 NEW YORK TIMES by Laurie Goodstein :
"Jehovah's Witnesses like to say that we have one of the most crimefree organizations," Mrs. Anderson said. "But all problems are taken to the elders, and the elders keep them quiet." She said that the documents prompted an internal debate among church leaders, and that when there was no action, she left headquarters disheartened in 1993, after 11 years of volunteering.
Carl A. Raschke, a professor of religious studies at the University of Denver who has written about the Jehovah's Witnesses, said the group was no different from many other insular religions that aspire to theological and moral purity.
"Groups that tend to be very tightknit and in-grown historically have a higher incidence of sexual abuse and incest," DR. Raschke said. "That's an ethnological fact. When a religion tries to be thoroughly holy or godly, it's not going to acknowledge that people aren't living up to the ideals of the faith."

battle says she raised her son to be a jehovahs witness.
but soon after seeing the spike lee movie malcolm x, he became very obsessed with islam.
The blame can be placed back to when "he played high school football".
and my heart is breaking!..we just had it confirmed today.
he has 9 months to live so they say.
among all the heartbreak and pain he is crying and begging me to go to the kingdom hall with him.
GG-
You may have to reprogram yourself to sit through those meetings, I''m sure life will be less stressful for your hubby though if you join him. Perhaps there's some NLP tapes from your library you can check out to help you.
As for as 9 months goes Drs.can be way off. A year ago a Dr. visited me from Asia. One of his patients had been told by the DR. at the hospital to go home and die since they couldn't do anything for her cancer.The visiting Dr. told me he kept her alive for another 15 yrs.
I saw a cassette tape awhile ago, about beating cancer through visualization. God be with you & family.

Jr Brown - Are you getting ready for the big SPIN on 9/27/02 you'll be delivering to the press?
Quit your damn lieing NOW! The victims were never overlooked! They were ordered Not to talk to anyone about it.They were threatened with disfellowshipment if they spoke out. And you know it!
Yes, you're so big on WORKS, what works has your cult done for your victims.
If your an honest person, on 9/27/02 you'll rewrite that sentence,"We are sorry for threatening JW victims with disfellowshiping when they had a legal right to go to the authorities, and to warn other members in the congregation."
i returned last sunday from las vegas, where i had been attending a convention for one of my suppliers.
it was a network marketing convention, so the people there were from all over the world.
one day i was walking back (about a mile) from the convention area at the hotel, to the elevators, when i heard a group say "well, we are all witnesses.

in bill's initial post about getting ready for the march he mentioned that if anyone could not go but wanted to send a lamb for the march to find someone who was going and was willing to take them to leave in front of bethel .
i have three small lambs.
one for my sister (who has left the jws but suffers greatly due to the abuse) .
Lady,
your email off your website isn't working, it was just returned to me. I can help if needed.
i received the following email to my quotes address, which was apparently prompted by a page at my website (http://quotes.jehovahswitnesses.com/bible_errors.htm): i am ot sure i understand.
it was stated that the bible has all kinds of mastakes in it because it was wrote by humion hands.
then i feel i am wasting my time studing it with your people because they tell me the bible is wright and how would i know what it right in it or wrong so i will stop my studt tommrow when they come.
Yes, you may count that as a "return visit".
