"Report it to the elders if you hear anyone in the congregation talking bad about the GB"

by hardtobeme in

last night and elder gave the bible highlights at the congregation.

he talked about apostasy.

and among other things he said: "report to the elders if you hear anyone in the congregation talking bad about the governing body".

Oubliette

The members of the Governing Body are hypocrites, liars and cowards.

Feel free to turn me into the elders.

If any elder dares to try and mess with me he will have his ass summarily handed to him.

friends

Nice. More evidence of deliberate lies, coverups and deceptive practices all motivated to avoid any liability and accountability.

Too bad there really isn't a Jehovah watching. I'm beginning to think the GB don't even believe in God. If they did, how could they do such things which they clearly know he condemns?

C0ntr013r: If ... a child [is molested, that] is not important, what is important is if anyone knows about it!?!?

Yes. It is all about appearances. Unfortunately it is only about the appearances of the organization with complete and utter disregard for anything or anyone else.

The negligence of the Governing Body and the entire leadership of the WTBTS is criminal.

ScenicViewer: How could there be an outcry about him, or how could he be a known child molester if his identity is kept secret from the congregation and the police, which is generally the case?

That is, I believe, the entire point of this investigation.

Well put!

11. If a former child molester continues in a position of responsibility ... it could affect the faith and confidence that our brothers have in Jehovah’s organization.

Really?

Ya think!

Let's review: It's a cult!

Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act

by Oubliette in

in light of anthony morris' latest propaganda piece, i thought it might be informative for members of our community to see what is typically required of mandated reporters.

here is what a credentialed teacher in the state of california must agree to as part of their licensing and credentialing.

(this is a requirement of both initial credentialing as well as renewals).

Oubliette

Rebel8: jws should not need Caesar to make them do the right thing.

Agreed. But as we all know, the majority of JWs do NOT see it this way. Why not?

Well, let's review: It's a cult!

Umberto: We have very similar laws here in Australia

As recent events have demonstrated. Australia is leading the way. This needs to be implemented globally!

FMF Rant on Abuse and JW Apologists: The Single Root of the Whole Issue(s)

by freemindfade in

for the jw apologists, they debate certain factors to down play all the recent sex abuse information in the jehovah's witness organization.

and there is so much focus on "two witness rule" and "parents can report" the "elders aren't legal authorities" and many other smoke screen issues.

a lot of these issues and discussion are down stream from what i believe to be the root of the issue.

Oubliette

FMF: at the root is in fact the arrogance and self protection of the organization.

Yes

FMF: The fact that they don't do this shows the institutional desire to protect their own image

Yes, and

FMF: They will generally protect the predator for their own selfish interests

Yes, absolutely yes!

JW elders should be mandated reporters.
