Agree with Sherrie11's line of thought. With so many known predators being actively protected by the Borg, what chance do they have of ever appearing on a registry?
Sounds good in theory but will only keep out the rare convicted jw. Meanwhile all the others will continue their soul-wrenching molestation and rape of innocent children.
man escapes jail for sex attacksbbc news - 1 hour, 42 minutes agoa jehovah's witnesss gets a community sentence for a series of sex assaults on children and adults.man escapes jail for sex attacks porter was put on the sex offenders registera jehovah's witness has escaped a jail term after admitting a series of sexual assaults on children and adults in clevedon.
michael porter, an elder in the religion, pleaded guilty to 24 counts of indecent assault and gross indecency on 13 victims aged 18 months and older.
among the individuals were others involved in the faith.
so once again i was able to make a comment to tweak those who were at this mornings wt parrot session using their own printed words.
the question on par.
10 was, "why is flirting dangerous?".
so i ran into this brother whom ive known for a while and the conversation led into me being invited to come back to the kingdom hall.
we talked for about an hour during which time i explained to him 607 being the wrong date and a lot of other stuff including the child abuse cases in australia.
but what i wanted to relate was the last few minutes of our conversation.
lostwun here, i joined 2 months ago but am now just finding the courage after doing more research to formally introduce myself to the board and embrace my new beginnings as an ex-jw.
i am a second-generation jw.
i grew up with parents who are well known and very respected in many circuits.
Thanks for the post, Barry. She does a great job recapping the highlights here.
i think that a person that is called before a judicial committee can use a recording of the trial and force the elder to view it because of jackson's statement to the commission and get off.
i think mr jackson has said enough about people who wish to leave the witnesses as not being harassed, hunted down, or spied upon and such to get the elder off your back and give them a "good witness".. also to be highlighted is the fact that jackson has stated under oath that the governing body is willing to reexamine doctrine and policy in order to conform to the law,.
i think many statements by gb jackson to the commission can be used by some one clever and thus escape the label of apostate and be unhindered to a large extent of speaking to others.. .
Phizzy - EXCELLENT POINT!!
your going to enjoy the latest rumor i heard why i have not been to meeting for around nine months, i am a homosexual!
i was caught having a drink at one of the gay bars for business, yes people still talk business in bars.

Dubs can't entertain the thought that someone would leave without being under demon control, because that's what's been repeatedly pounded into their heads. It's Black or White, Good or Bad, Jehovah or Satan, JW or Sinner. Only those not 100% indoctrinated can think for themselves, but even then a Dub must follow the crowd. They must at least appear to agree with the gossip or the suspicion will turn toward them. To be a Dub, you have to stay in Dubstep. I doubt everyone believes all the gossip, but it's too risky to voice a different opinion.
Don't forget how exhausting it was in there.
Not sure what my current fading "sin" is as I've heard everything from that old favorite Been Stumbled (well, yes, by elders who refused to report child abuse) to Secret Sinning (I wish my life was that exciting) to Apostate (okay, by their definition that's true). It's all good - if I can be their gossip fodder, maybe they'll be leaving someone else alone. And my family sees how much happier I am now than before my fade, so that's a huge plus in my book. Maybe that will eventually help them to wake up and get out.
okay, i know the royal commission hasn't started yet.
but i'm confident enough that he will be telling some whoppers.
so i thought i'd be the first to get a thread started for something that will begin... very soon now!.
is religion doing enough to root out abuse?.
he would go upstairs, on the premise that he was saying a prayer with his niece, then sexually abuse her.
mark sewell was sentenced to 14 years in prisonafterwards, the elders told her that as it was only her account against that of sewell, nothing more could be done.
JWdaughter, I've had similar reactions from family. It's just another way of not having to face facts because jws have to stay in their insulated bubble of J-fiction. They can't really help it, though, the brainwashing is deep.
This sham religion calls itself "the truth", but the real truth is that if you're still in and bring up factual points that expose the Borg you'll get kicked out, and if you're out and bring up factual points that expose the Borg, it doesn't count because you're not "in".
For real truth lovers, the Borg is a lose-lose situation.
