  Testimony 'chilling reading'

  A 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. The children would often witness the beatings, Judge Grant Fraser told the court. "The effect on all of the victims made chilling reading. The effects will stay with them for the rest of their lives."

  The victims lived in constant fear of the man "flying into a rage", Judge Fraser said.

  The victims' issues with drugs, alcohol and violence stemmed from the years of beatings and abuse, Judge Fraser said. "Your offending blighted the children's potential and has ruined their lives."

  Lawyer Keith Becker said as a child the man had been subjected to violence condoned by the Jehovah's Witness church, of which his family was a part.

  Judge Grant Fraser interrupted: "Are you suggesting that the Jehovah's Witness church justifies this type of violence? I imagine they would be somewhat surprised to hear that."

  Mr Becker said the church "didn't take these matters lightly" and had set up its own "court" to deal with the man's actions.

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

  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 knew way before anyone else as I am perceptive but our PO's daughter was a lesbian living with a sister and they were together, I knew they were and said it to another sister 2 weeks before she dissasociated, the woman she was with was put on public reproof, the POs daughter ran off with another DF lesbian twice her age, it was discusting, the PO didnt stand down either, just the same old bunch of hypocrites etc

  the sister I said it to before it came out said it was slander etc and told me off, i said you just watch

  I was right!!!

  Some outrageous counsel I received once ...

  by Frequent_Fader_Miles in

  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.

  i had some too in my time, once I was called in for having this on my answerphone " sorry I cant come to the phone right now as I am down in the dungeon being tortured for my good looks" some old fuddy duddy sister in the cong called the elders and I got in trouble.

  another time it was because I went shopping with my bible student, bad association apparently as she wasnt a witness(YET) suffice to say after that she never became one thank god.

  another time got told off because I was in a jw chat room on the net.

  then I got counselled because my daughter then 3 went to the loo too many times in a meeting, oh and I was acused of prompting my son to answer at meetings, when all i was doing was helping him pronounce a word in the watchtower or some publication, he was about 7 at the time. during that it was 2 elderly brothers that called me into the hall for a meeting and tore strips off me, this is all during the time that me and my kids were going through high court trials for my husband raping my kids, according to the elders it was all in my mind and I put it into my kids minds,(BUNCH OF BLOODY MORONS) we can see that carried through in the cover ups of abuse in the organisation cant we?

  god I am so glad I am not in that organisation anymore, they are so unchristlike its not even funny

  oh I had to laugh once a CO we had his wife bought a cd and because it had organ music on it she said it was demonic and smashed it shes nuts, and he the co said that a family here in nz bought some promotional caps for the nz yaght "black magic" and they went home and got demon attacks so they had to get rid of them, oh man what a crock of crap.

  there was always talks about demons etc when I was a jw for 13 years, lemme tell ya darling the only demons i encountered were the elders who were wolves in sheeps clothing far more damaging than any unseen entity by a long chalk.

  yeah well this is a sister in her late 30's who never found a bro to marry that she was compatable with, she was engaged to one but he turned out to be living a double life, anyway a very close friend whos a special pioneer was told by the elders he cant attend the wedding because she is marrying a non jw, hes in a cong in another town, yet her elders dont know shes marrying a non jw, can the elders tell someone they cant attend the wedding?

  because he has told her hes been told he cant go? is there any scriptual grounds for that?
