  yesterday, the presiding overseer (elder h) read the letter from the christian congregation of jehovahs witnesses (us branch) regarding their policy on child abuse.

  all scriptures were also looked up and read.. elder h is a very prepared brother.

  he is a gilead graduate and served as a missionary for about 7 years in kenya before coming home because of illness.

  2. scandals

  i was wondering if anyone could comment on the likelyhood of a witness elder considering physical evidence of molestation.

  so far all i am hearing about is the 2+ witness rule and i would like further clarification.. if sally-sue's parents walked up to elder marvin and said: 'hey!

  brother phaux raped my sally!

  many on this forum criticize elders as being incompetent.

  i've know a few myself, but you must agree that there are also very good elders also.. well, here is a case and i would like to know what you would do if you were an elder.. a fourteen (14) year old male has sex with a twelve (12) year old female.

  the female confesses to her parents and the parents report to the elders.

  Disfellowshipping Child Abusers

  by TheMatrix in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i have a question on the issue of child abusers within the organization.. i know that it should be reported to the authorities as it is a crime against human laws, but it is also a sin against jehovah so it must handled theocratically also.. my question is: should a child abuser be disfellowshipped from the christian congregation?

  first lie: erica.

  i dont believe erica lied about her abuse.

  obviously it must be true, even mr. beliz confessed that he touched her inappropriately.

  JEHOVAH JUDGES ABUSIVE ELDERS

  by You Know in

  1. social
  2. current

  repeatedly, the scriptures admonish jehovahs people to stay in wakeful anticipation of gods judgments.

  the not so obvious reason being that we don't know exactly how jehovah's judgments are going to go down.

  however, the ordering of events once the judgment commences should not be in question.
