Latest jw broadcast referring to allegations of protecting pedophiles

by jonahstourguide in

hi folks.. i put this in abuse as i thought it relevant.. a physically in mentally out friend that considers our friendship greater than religion told me that on the latest broadcast steven lett alluded to satans voice being behind people that claim the organisation protects pedophiles.. my friend then went on to say they must be in damage control.. he added, but that is correct, they are hiding their internal records.

is not that construed as protecting the accused?.

if i get the inclination i may post a snippet of what was actually said.. sadly my friend is trying to protect his family relationships and so goes along with the charade.. his situation weighs on me but, as many of you here know, it can be a difficult road to travel.. jtg.

I'm guessing this is in regards to that cult program where we found out that they'd paid out like, 16 million dollars to settle lawsuits from people who had been abused as children? I'm not a JW, my Dad is, hes the only one in my family but he's been one for as long as I can remember and despite that, were really close. When I told him about the payouts he was stunned into silence. He didn't know what to say, but because he was talking to me he didn't try any of that apostate/Satan bs. I reminded him about the 2 witness rule. I found it odd that he didn't remember when I can remember it from when I was a child, I remember hearing about it and realizing what the ramifications of that were and being really sad about it.

Then I saw what happened when you come up against it. An elders son molested a girl who was under 13. Very quickly she and her family disappeared completely from our congregation, and everyone was talking about how Matt got charged with statutory rape because he was dating a girl a few years younger than him and her parents didn't like it. It turned out that she was under 13 and he was over 25. I saw the Meghans law listing for myself. Its amazing how the JWs will protect the perpetrator all the way from Bethel to each individual congregation.

Did you ever meet someone born in the 1800’s?

by Fisherman in

i met freddie franz who was born in the 1880’s and many others from the 1880’s.

but as a very small child i remember someone very old aged 106 and that person was born around 1856 which means that he was around people from the 1700’s..

Yes, when I was born my great-great grandmother was still alive and so was my great-grandmother, I still have some gifts they gave me and photos of us, but they both passed by the time I was 6.
