Paducah, KY News 6 Report

by silentlambs in

jehovahs witnesses, resigned pastor draw battle line over child molestation coverup charges.

last month, bill bowen not only resigned as presiding overseer of jehovahs witnesses at draffenville.

bowen charged his denomination with a national policy of elders not reporting confessions made by child molesters to police.

Wounded Heart,
I am so sorry to hear about your different problems. You are right on the money, about the Society discouraging certain health practices. And some of them are very effective. Therapy is still frowned upon by them.
I do want to say though, that I went to a congregation where an elder and his wife practiced bio-kinesioligy (sp?). I remember the Watchtower article you are talking about. Could you tell me the issue? Or even post the appropriate parts? As I no longer have access to the magazines.
I know I could get a subscription. But I do not want to draw any undue attention to myself from the Witnesses, as I am sure you will understand.
Anyway, my email is open if you would like to write me personally. I wanted to send this to you privately, but your email is locked. So forgive me for having to post it here.

Cmac,
I was an active JW for almost forty years. (from birth) There is a huge difference between people who are disgruntled and angry and just out to get back at the JW's and those who are sincere in their concerns.
Reading Ray Franz' book, it is very apparent, that he is a deeply religious and caring man. He is not out to get the Witnesses. He is just very concerned about the harm they have caused to so many people.
He fairly and honestly presents these effects. And he also gives inside information that active JW's do not have available to them. Because they are strongly discouraged from reading anything other than what the WT prints.
A read well worth taking the time for.

O.K. Danny and Lark,
Now I am glued to the screen. I love this. More, more, please.
Also, just a side note Danny. Wasn't Judah-Ben Schroeder, conceived and raised at Bethel? That is just what I had always heard. Could be wrong.

Hello...

i used to post over at h2o a long time ago and thought i would drop in and say hello.

i am very glad that someone has taken the time to set up another place where ideas about jehovahs witnesses can be freely posted and discussed.

this type of place is a great public service for people who are just starting to see through the thick fog and who are just beginning to recognize cracks in that grandiose, self-serving, anything-but-ivory, tower that has the gall to refer to itself as the truth.

Atticus,
I welcomed you on another thread. Want to make sure you see it. So here you are, WELCOME! So true what you described.
