  anyone know who the jw was convicted of child abuse in shannon New Zealand?

  2. child-abuse

  was in the paper 2 days ago here is the story:.

  +node_landing+ masthead components/masthead story/node +normal_story_landing+ testimony 'chilling reading' -normal_story_landing- start components/story/common_contenta former shannon freezing worker who physically and sexually abused his stepchildren will spend five years in prison.. the 45-year-old man, who cannot be named because it would identify his victims, was sentenced in levin district court yesterday on 10 historic charges of indecent assault and assault, which occurred between 1991 and 1996 at the family home in shannon.. the names of his victims, three children and ex-wife, were suppressed.

  two of the victims and the man's elderly parents sat at the back of the court.. from the age of 7, his stepdaughter had endured sexual abuse that led to the man facing four charges of indecent assault and a charge of assault.. he would creep into her bedroom and touch her genitalia and in later years forced her to touch his penis, the court heard.. two boys under the age of 14 and the girl were beaten with a kettle cord, leather belts, wooden spoons and sticks, which led to four charges of assault.. one of the boys came forward last year and laid a complaint with police.. the man was also charged with assaulting his ex-wife.

  Brothers who were Gay but couldn't admit/accept it! Did you have some?

  by Witness 007 in

  i have come to realize that being gay is something you are just born with....so why judge them if it's like being born a certain race.. a brother g_____ i knew was a zealous pioneer pushing 43 years old.

  he never married though the sisters thought he was dreamy and he had plenty of offers....."she's not for me" he would always, many times tell me some excuse.

  he loved to give only brothers a big hug...say if you gave a public talk or something.

  i had witnesses knock on my door yesterday, oh man talk about deluded, those of you can read my posts from the past to see my story, but when they asked me what religion i was i said x jw not dissed or dissassociated, i breifly told them a few home truths including the short version of how i was treated in the org, this dummy obviously an elder and his wife stood there and said, i can promise you that it is most likely if you come back that wont happen to you again, the arrogance!!!!

  i said to them you cannot stand there and say that, sheesh who do they think they are, they dont know what i went through or what kind of wolves lurk in the cong i was in, i told them i had read ray franz book and i said you wont know any of the truths about brooklyn because you are not allowed to look on the net or read anything non jw.. the wife said yes we can we just dont look at apostate websites, i nearly laughed at her, she said to me ray franz was only dissfellowshipped because he went against the scriptures, grrrrrrrrrrrrr they make me so mad, they read me scriptures i already know etc and tried to justify some of the things that happened to me.

  oh man dont you just want to scream sometimes???

  Some outrageous counsel I received once ...

  by Frequent_Fader_Miles in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was reading an earlier thread about ridiculous counsel and i just had to share this one with everyone.. you know how sometimes around christmas time merchandisers would package their products in a more "festive" wrapper?

  the largest bread company here does that every year.

  well one yuletide season (when i was about 7 years old), i was helping myself to a couple slices of bread and my aunt saw me.

  did you have CO scandals or PO scandals in your cong

  by nelly1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we did one year we heard that our co's wife was caught doing it with a special pioneer than was staying with them, co was taken off the circuit, and our po"s daughter was having a lesbian affair with her roomate, of course i knew before she dissasociated herself i told a sister i knew they were and she told me it was slanderous, then 2 weeks later it all came out, she then ran off with a dissfellowshipped lesbian over double her age, the other lesbian was publicly reproved but i have since heard shes been disfellowshipped for lesbianism, a question?

  i thought if you were a po and one of your household was found to be doing something that bad then you had to stand down, is that right?
