  Abuse among JWs once again highlighted on national TV / Norway

  by InquiryMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  the major commercial tv network in norway, has once again highlighted abuse within religious communities.

  the only group not willing to reveal any information on abuse cases is jehovahs witnesses.

  this case is highlighted very prominently on their web site today and will most likely be on their evening news tonight (i reckon).. http://www.tv2.no/2014/12/01/nyheter/overgrep/6261340.

  This is not new. There has been a lot of negative publicity concerning esp. abuse and DF practices among JWs for decades in the Scandianvian countries, esp in Denmark and Norway, but lately Sweden has had an increase in bad JW publicity. Also in Finland there has been a lot of TV/media coverage on JWs.

  The August peak point of Norway was close to 12,000 (ca. 11,700). When i left the witnesses more than ten years ago they had about 10,500 reporting at most as far as I remember. Considering Norway is a very secular country, this number is fairly "good" seen from the witnesses point of view.

  i wasn't looking where i put my feet, and i almost took the cart out!

  anyway, i stopped and chatted with the people for a bit.

  three women and a man -- an elder and his wife.

  When visiting Dresden quite recently I also saw one of these charts. I took a photo of it, as well as grasping two magazines. To them it seemed to make their day... And see no need at all to be rude...

  "dicte" a danish tv series on netflix shows shunning of protagonist by her jw parents in the first few minutes of the opening episode.. it's similar to wallander if you're into that type of detective series you're sure to find this one interesting.. netflix description of the series is that:.

  "a crime reporter starts a new life by returning to her hometown, where she finds herself at odds with the police when she tries to solve their cases.".

  it opens with a young girl giving birth, her child is taken away, her parents helping to give the baby up.. ahead to 24 years later a woman gets out of her car and approaches a group of people entering a kingdom hall.. she calls them father and mother but they say nothing to her.

  Scandivians in general I think are pretty aware of Jws and their practices. It has been exposed in the media many times, including national television.

  We are into season 2 and the JW theme is an integral part of the plot.

  A very well written and made series. The Danes love to bash JWs

  I think JWs definitely shun this park as being both part of christendom as well as being very commercial and blasphemic

  I have been to nine-ten different amusement parks in the Kissimmee/orlando/Tampa area, but we deliberately chose not to pay this park a visit as I think it is definitely poor taste.
