Australia - Elder Jailed Over Sex Abuse

by OrphanCrow in

another one.. https://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/wa/a/30810834/church-elder-is-jailed-over-sex-abuse/.

a jehovah’s witness elder who sexually assaulted two vulnerable teenagers he met through the church was sentenced to three years jail yesterday over the “destructive” abuse.. david frank pople, 68, met the boys through the safety bay congregation of the church and assaulted them between 1989 and 1996.. one of the teens reported the sexual assaults to elders in 1997 but police were not made aware of the abuse until he filed a police report in 2014.pople was forcibly ejected from the church for being “insufficiently repentant” in 1997 and readmitted the following year at his request.. district court judge troy sweeney accepted pople was genuinely remorseful but said he had interfered with his victims’ natural maturing process in a “very destructive way”.“a message must be sent that child abuse is abhorrent and will not be tolerated by any civilised society,” she said.“they were vulnerable because they were young and because you were a church elder and their boss.”.

when pople admitted assaulting one of the boys during a conversation with an elder in the 1990s, he was told a judicial committee would be formed to deal with the issue.the elders spoke to pople in an apparent attempt to determine his level of remorse and later sent a letter to certain members of the congregation explaining in great detail why he had been ejected.. pople was in his 40s when he assaulted the boys at work, on his yacht and in his shoalwater home.he was close friends with the parents of his first victim and had helped the second victim with his bible studies.. defence lawyer nick scerri told the court pople was candid with the leadership of the church and made “very frank admissions” about some aspects of the offending in 1997.he said his client has been living three lives and was “deeply unhappy” when he assaulted the boys.“he had the life of the family man, the father, the husband,” mr scerri said.

Let's not forget what we saw in the ARC hearings. Orders are orders... WT lawyers, WT "Service Desk" and GB are at the top of this filthy mess.

You would expect people who "follow Christ" to have a conscience, no matter what they are told from the top.... and some do, but emotional blackmail is a powerful tool along with other CULT controls (B.I.T.E. model). https://vimeo.com/58511985

Until more soldiers/elders stop "following commands" or "listen, OBEY" (and be blessed) we will see crimes.... CRIMES..... CRIMES.... being allowed, and children suffering.

Anyone seen the movie “Spotlight”? About the Boston Globe’s uncovering scandal in the Catholic Church? Guess what?

Quotes from Trey's story:

“Blye Faust, one of the film’s producers, recently joined the board of The Center for Investigative Reporting, where I am executive board chairman. We’re thrilled to have someone with us who worked for seven years to bring the “Spotlight” story to the screen and so deeply gets the value of the journalism involved.”

“And on Feb. 20, CIR will release a new episode of “Reveal,” our national, weekly investigative public radio show and podcast, that picks up the Catholic Church abuse scandal where the “Spotlight” film ends. “

…. “ for the past year, CIR has been investigating sexual abuse of children in another closed society, the Jehovah’s Witnesses community, and that group’s attempts to silence the story.”

“This splash of sunlight already is helping people who are looking to change dark and corrosive practices. It’s one of many public service and social justice issues we pursue at any given time.”

Two Jehovah's Witnesses congregations abolished by courts - Russia

by OrphanCrow in

two jehovah's witnesses congregations abolished by courts.

today, 11 february 2016, an administrative lawsuit by the prosecutor of belgorod province for finding the local religious organization of jehovah's witnesses in the city of belgorod to be extremist and liquidated was granted by decision of the belgorod provincial court.

yesterday the provincial court issued a decision on the administrative lawsuit of the provincial prosecutor for liquidation of the local religious organizations of jehovah's witnesses in the city of stary oskol.. the above quote is from one of 5 articles at link.. the fourth article, doctors in court: "jehovah's witnesses died after refusing blood transfusions", gives a synopsis of the hearing in the belgorod provincial court on feb 8.. two doctors were summoned into court as witnesses in order to learn whether religious convictions have affected the state of health of jehovist patients and whether they could be the cause of the death of patients.

I like that!

"extremist and not in compliance with the requirements of the federal law "On freedom of conscience and religious associations"

Finally, it takes a Russian government to stand up to JW's and call an extremist an extremist!

The WT has taken away people's freedom of conscience, their families, their lives.... for way too long. Thank you Russia!

List of reasons why the witnesses are wrong.

by atomant in

l thought it might be a good idea to have a quick reference post to remind people of the faults within the jw org.what do others think.

Lying.... I am going to go with lying. If the first sin was lying, and Satan got kicked out, & was "the father of the lie" ... Why is lying put up with?

Liars "will be cast into the sea"... So, why is it that GOD allows HIS representatives to lie & it's AOK with him"?

"Do not sit with men of lies." Hasta la vista baby!

Stephen Lett at our assembly today

by StarTrekAngel in

he delivered the most cultic piece of propaganda i've ever seen in an assembly.

wife typed up the whole thing.

i will be posting when i get a chance.

Millie210... I think the part they are quoting is this:

Another thing, Abel could trust in God's promises. Adam and Eve told him (Abel) about God's promises when they were expelled from the Garden. Abel could see God's word had come true. Jehovah told Eve her labor pain would increase. (there was no period) Abel could see Jehovah's promise came true when Eve bore children.

I think what Lett was saying is:

Adam and Eve told Abel what God said to Eve in the Garden of Eden. Eve had many children.

Abel saw more and more brothers and sisters born...

He could see his mom cry out in pain....

He was able to witness the fact that what Jehovah said would happen to Eve came true... That Eve would have pain while having children.

Another 'cognitive whammy'.... "overlapping generations" right?

What is in Lett's talk?

They were facing the destruction of the entire Jewish system. Paul wrote to them and this was a period of relative peace. Only four years later the roman armies came and surrounded Jerusalem. That was the signal that Jesus said for the Jews to flee to the mountains. Jesus gave them that warning in 33 CE.

But here they were 28 years later and no Romans. Only four years later it was going to happen.

The GB compare Jesus day to our day. Peter heard Jesus tell about Jerusalem's destruciton, so it means there is an "overlapping", and that means it overlaps only with the GB, and that means it could last?? 120 years? What is reality? How long DID that time period last with Peter and the other apostles? REALLY? THEY did not have "overlapping" anything..

But here they were 28 years later and no Romans. Only four years later it was going to happen.
