True Stories from the Tower - Part 1 "From Anointed to Pedophile to Bethelite"

by BluePill2 in

before i dive into the actual write-up of this experience, let me put some things straight.. i have thought long and hard if i should write more about my experiences during the 10+ years at different branches.

during these years i worked from financial department, service department, home office and different it assignments.

as you can imagine one sees and hears and reads a lot of stuff going through different stations in different countries.

Pill - I named the names of ELDERS who were involved

and there were other Elders on that Judicial committee as well.

Barron and Richard remain Elders and have probably heard

dozens of sexual abuse cases and never reported one single one

to the police as the little "secret elders instruction book" orders them

not to. The mother of the children never reported her husband either

and let the WT dictate the future of her children. Mother's often know

their children are being sexually abused and do nothing, she never

reported and remains a loyal WT supporter. David Mochart was never

jailed, he lives near an elementary school , called Franklin Elementary

in Santa Barbara, and no one knows now, he is a pedophile.

I never mentioned the children's names.

Most of the children married and have different names.

You need to contact the lawyers who handle these pedophile cases

against the WT and give them specific information, the name of the

Circuit Overseer, District Overseer, JC Elders, a copy of the elder book

any records you have, any policies, any evidence of corruption, police

bribes you mentioned, all this information needs to go public.

Because it is only public exposure that will stop this.

I don't mean to insult your intelligence but does anyone here

know what " NO Statute of Limitation" means ? It means there are

certain crimes that can be reported 30 years after they happened.

Most of the cases won against the Catholic Church were based on

evidence brought forward 20 years later or more.

Because, "the past is the past" does not apply to moral responsibility.

If you saw someone murdered and saw the murderer bury the body

and knew who this person was, and kept it a secret,

you are an ACCOMPLICE and criminally complicit,

until you come forward and report the crime.

And making an excuse that "too much time has passed does not

let you off the hook, you are, by failing to report, making yourself

an accomplice for the rest of your life and your personal "guilt" does not

dissolve or absolve your moral and legal responsibility and obligation to report.

So right here on this thread several "brothers" ex-elders or acting

Elders have implied they know about such crimes and are refusing to

report them based on the fact "it was a long time ago" ? Its the "past"?

Childhood sexual abuse has life altering consequences for the victims

their past never goes away, it comes up for them in their whole

self image and the way they are stunted in their personal development

and relationships with other people.

JWGone Bad - Now that what I'm talkin' about

TELL IT brother

Show the guys photo, and stop all the secretiveness

and hiding and covering over this stuff and pretending

the individual JW can do "nothing"

Blue Pill has information on top level Bethel and

DO and CO and sex abuse and will not name names of these men

and he was there when it all went down.

WE have to stand up, call the police when you

know of this stuff.

YOU Elders are responsible to do this morally,

and legally I don't care what the WT's little "secret handbook"

is telling you, be a man.

You want to have women in subjection?

Strut around in suits and ties ?

Call yourself "Shepherds of the Flock"?

Go around in suits and ties and then all wimp out when it comes to

children and minors being sexually molested and cover it up ?

Listener - I hear you - I apologize for being harsh with the Pill.

I am not being clear here myself.

Here is what I mean: The Pill is going on and on about

nothing specific. He does not NAME NAMES, or give any

specific information that would be reportable, THAT is a rant.

The BluePill has knowledge of the NAME of the predator

and his location and details of this sexual molestation.

The Pill is not revealing who the man is, his NAME.

Eaxample of a real case I knew about:

A JW named David Mochart, who was an elder in 1984

in Santa Barbara California, sexually molested his five children.

His wife's name is Janet Mochart. The children are now all

on facebook and so is Janet. Janet is still a JW.

The men on the committee, included Baron Eric Spafford,

a famous Photographer with a web site and

still in Santa Barbara and still an Elder.

And Richard Ried and others elders on that Judicial Committee.

This case was never reported to the police.

(until I did but I did not have first hand knowledge)

David Mochart was disfellowshipped, his confession was heard.

I heard from the Day Care provider whose name is Kathy Reid,

who is married to Richard Reid who sat on the judicial commitee.

Kathy had an Early Childhood Degree and saw the young child of

about 4 years old "acting out" in a way typical of sexually molested

children, and talking about sex, inappropriate knowledge.

Compare that small bit of actual factual information written here,

to Blue Pills account below.

I will report - give me the name of this man, and the children,

and the Branch location and some reporatble details and Blue Pill

needs to step forward and give testimony, ten years late is not too late

these crimes have no "Statute of Limitation".

Circuit Overseer and someone from the Branch where assigned to investigate the case. He negated everything and didn't confess. The children could deliver explicit details about him and kept mentioning a certain mark on his manhood. The committee was confused on what to do (nope, the accusations of the boys weren't good enough). So, the District Overseer seriously starts contemplating if they should ask him to put his trousers down and have a look at his junk. This created confusion, as it was highly unortodox and not mentioned in the "Shepherd the Flock" book (I am not kidding you here!). So, they ask the branch and it was decided that this was out of question and the "two witness" rule was applied. End of Story. Man get's off the hook.

I - as an individual can't do a thing - but I sure can put a needle through their heart.

They should not be able to bury the past, because people didn't have the guts to tell their story and put it in writing.
I have come to believe that the truth has a certain ring to it. No need to come up with "stamped and sealed" papers - that is what the Society does

BluePill 2 - I am not an American, you assume too much -

I am a Canadian, however I grew up in Beirut Lebanon and

then I lived in England and I finally came to the United States

where I attended the University of California, I graduated in 1977.

My brother graduated from UCLA with a Law Degree

and practiced law for 30 years. Mexico and Nicaragua both

have functioning legal systems and reports of sexual abuse

will be taken seriously. Nicaragua is a member of the United Nations

and has signed onto the (UN) Convention on the Rights of the Child

(Nicaragua 2009, 14; US Aug. 2007, ).

Nicaragua has also signed the following international treaties

related to children's rights: the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,

the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights,......

and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of

Discrimination Against Women.

Research Directorate, a program official of the Program for

Appropriate Technology in Health (PATH), an

NGO originating in Seattle with a Nicaraguan office,

which is part of the Movement Against Sexual Abuse

(Movimiento Contra el Abuso Sexual), a network of

41 organizations, networks and individuals working

to make sexual abuse a visible public issue in Nicaragua

(Movimiento Contra el Abuso Sexual 2009),

So, perhaps it is YOU who do not know what you are talking

about ? Or you have no education ? And you have lived

isolated in the JW cult of fear and ignorance and have

no idea how legal systems work in the worldwide community

of nations ? You assume the Nicaraguans have no intelligence ?

No legal system ? No understanding of these issues ?

Had you contacted the authorities with what you know,

they would have closed down the Bethel Branch and

thrown the WT out of the country.

Please do NOT write a book. Because you can press

keys on a keyboard and produce words, does not mean

you know how to write.

New "theocratic history" book for witnesses?

by stuckinarut2 in

so i have heard a few of us talking about a newly released book to replace or add to the proclaimers book?.

is that correct?.

if so, i wonder how much they have re-written history to cover the real truths?.

villagegirl

The Watchtower LOVES to BRAG and presents itself in glorious terms and some of you are sooo impressed, just sucked right in ....

factfinder: the chapter 8 of the book is factual, it is impressive, in- the volume of literature that has been produced

Really Impressive ?

How about the LARGEST Bible translating and publishing organization in the world ? These peopel have 2,550 different languages they translated the Bible into.

"The United Bible Societies is made up of 146 national Bible Societies operating in over 200 countries and territories. Together, they are the biggest translator, publisher and distributor of the Bible in the world.

They are also active in areas such as literacy training, HIV and AIDS prevention and disaster relief. Bible Societies work with all Christian Churches and many international non-governmental organisations.

Translating the Bible remains at the heart of what we do. There are nearly 500 complete Bible translations (almost 30 per cent of which include the Deuterocanon) and each year more are added. Currently, there are Scriptures available in over 2,550 of the world’s estimated 7,100 languages."

Where do we go when we die?

by bsand20 in

jw
friends

my best friend of 14 years and maid of honor passed away 2 months ago at age 32 after battling breast cancer for 6 years.

i haven't been the same since for many reasons.. as a jw kid i believed 144,000 chosen went to heaven, the good people would be resurrected including those who didn't have a chance to hear about jehovah, and the rest, which were of other religions and bad people, died and would cease to exist.

again, because i was a kid when i left, i never really understood the jw position on death and why they came to their conclusion.

villagegirl

NAVYTOWN thanks , that is so helpful and hopeful - not

bsand20 - even scientists who study the universe, believe in

other dimensions. No one can say for sure the exact nature of

what exists in this universe. Only 4% of what is out there is

known to us the other 96% is completely unknown.

If God is pure energy or light and there are other conscious beings

in non material form, perhaps that is what the Bible refers to.

The survival of consciousness but in another dimension may be

is what lies beyond the death of our bodies, since nothing is lost

or destroyed according to science, but merely changes form.

Over centuries the idea of life in some form after death has

persisted in all cultures. If a man dies, shall he live again ?

The classic question Job asked. Jesus said "I came so they may

have everlasting life." Don't allow non believers to extinguish your

hope and love of God, just because of their own disappointment

and loss off faith. Whether you live in some other form or are

resurrected to earth or some other earth, who can say really ?

You have the freedom to find your own answers.

In your memory, what was the nicest day you had out in field service?

by LoisLane looking for Superman in

for me, that happy day was in morro bay, calif. it was the fall, oct 1958 or 9. gorgeous weather.

the sun was shining and the wind was coming off of the ocean.. at that time, morro bay was unassigned territory.. talesin on another thread was talking about a lovely day she had, going with her grandfather, talking with a mr languages.

lol.

villagegirl

wild thing - pleasant memories are good.

Delusional glossing over of what actually happened,

not so good. Mindfulness, being in reality.

For much of our lives, we do not see what was in front of us,

or just beyond, if only we had kept looking

or had someone to guide the way. This is a

community, every one who was a JW that is here,

all of us, were in a trance surviving and making the best of it.

The ones I see now, as I look from the outside

at them functioning in the same closed space of the WT

are creating a little world for themselves, as we did.

But it also occurs to me that most of us could have

been and still can be, so much more as individuals,

not by looking back , but by seeing what we can create now

and in the future in our lives. In the WT its always the 'carrot on the stick'

the future, the time when our "real" life will begin. Its a state of suspended

animation that goes on and on and on and the real life never arrives.

so the rc really sucked, but i made it through.

Don't listen to Zed is Dead , he does not exist.

1 Timothy 5:8 But if someone doesn’t provide for their own family,and especially for a member of their household,they have denied the faith. They are worse than those who have no faith.

Read that scripture to your wife.

Then tell her the Governing Body is not your mediator, Jesus Christ is.

YOU give $$$ so that the "Governing Body can fly FIRST CLASS ?? and

never have to work a day and so they have secure housing, clothes and food

and people wait on them living in mutil million dollar accomodations.

Tell your wife to 'snap out of it'. And tell her your daughter is going to

college and can choose her own career and her own religion or none.

If its just you and your wife and you can exit, try to do that , give her

Crisis if Conscience, concentrate on the core false GB doctrine and stop using

terms like "anointed" as if this means some "mysterious state". It only means

Gods blessing on you in the form of holy spirit which the Bible says he

anoints or pours out on ALL mankind and especially all believers, its not

some "card" you pull its FREEDOM to stand independently, one on one,

face to face, (no eight old men needed), just you and Jesus Christ is all you need.

Thank you all for your comments and loving support! Sometimes

I don't know how I managed to come out of this

with some amount of sanity, really.

Come out of what ? You had personal knowledge that small

children were being raped and tortured and you knew who was

doing it, but you chose to protect yourself and do nothing?

This is what is nagging at you, it called a conscience, guilt for

failure to act. If it is within your hand to do good and you fail to

do it ,that is a sin of ommision. Its in the Bible. But good news,

it is not to late for you to contact the victims, the authorities,

the police, and I have a feeling you remember the names even of

the children involved, contact a Mexican Lawyer or one of the lawyers

prosecuting cases against the Watchtower and stop feeling sorry for

yourself. There is still time to act and do what is right.
