In Italy: Major Newspaper Coverage of the JW Pedophilia Scandal

by Room 215 in

the excellent italian ex-jw website geova.org directs its readers' attention to two big news articles on the jw pedophilia problem.

milan-based il corriere della sera is one of italy's most respected newspapers:.

Thank you Room 215!! These are excellent articles. It's good to know that the RC has had a great effect of some of the Italian rank and file witnesses.

I will definitely check out Geova.org too

by LaFrancia in

The Italian branch committee that was either asked to leave or was disfellowshipped was Valter Farneti. There was some controversy with him about 2002. I remember meeting him at the Georgetown assembly hall years and years ago.

He said a former branch committee member in Italy grabbed a whole lot of the branch's money and ran off with a young special pioneer sister. Have you heard anything about this?

Really??

I hope LaFrancia lets us know. In the meantime i will contact my Italian connections to see if there is any truth to this.

i was reading in another forum, that a letter to the elders instructed them to speak to anybody who persists in wearing tight pants.

if changes don't happen then the instructions are to disqualify him from being a publisher but it won't be announced to the congregation.

i am am curious to see if this letter will surface.

I don't see being disqualified as a publisher as being in trouble.

@hoser, well if you a dub and your "privilege" to preach is taken away that becomes an issue. Now you are considered weak and bad association. Perhaps I could have used a more descriptive word.

I read the synopsis from the blog that that LaFrancia belongs. The Italian witnesses greatly anticipated the visit of Reno Kesk. It sounds that he didn't bring any earth shattering message. But as they say in Italian : tutto fumo niente arrosto. (all smoke but no roast). They were told to use their brains as its a gift from God. they were also told that rules are not necessary and that what is required is reasoning on principles.

There is nothing new under the watchtower sun.

Finding my mental condition getting worse not sure what to do?

i'm pretty sure i have ptsd because of this cult.

i now experience headaches pretty much daily and find myself poping excedrin migraine pills 3-4 a day.

also i'm drinking alcohol a bit to take the edge off.

I feel bad for you. Migranes are unbearable. I hope you can get some relief. How about making an appointment with your family doctor and discuss it with him. You may benefit from some therapy.
