in my opinion, i believe that from the time a child is molested...and seeks a parent or guardian for help...these are critical hours in which proper authorities, and doctors have a chance to collect very important evidence.. waiting for the next meeting, or waiting for a group of non qualified men to "look into" the situation.....in my opinion compromises evidence, and elders should be held responsible for tampering with evidence...telling families to wait on jehovah.. just sayin..

i'm picturing a situation in which a savvy 12 year old doesn't like the house rules that mom's new husband has put into place.
or something along that line.
i can certainly agree that protection of children is paramount, but who protects the real victim in those cases?
BYPASS ALL ELDERS.....GO STRAIGHT TO POLICE.
thats it.
this "confession" should be aired on the tv channel in regards to the investigation into jw's cover up of child abuse.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8cctyxnr-w. quite fitting, don't you think?
xd.
anointed christians knew that 1914 would mark a turning point regarding divine rulership.
as soon as they discerned the fulfillment of bible prophecy, they boldly declared to others that gods rule had begun.
today, with so much evidence that gods kingdom is already established in heaven, why do the majority of people not accept what this means?

several threads on here about the excellent bbc r4 programme this week ('the report') focussing on rape and abuse in barry, south wales, jws.
fat pervert mark sewell later got 14 years and i hope he is enjoying every minute of it.. the courageous ladies who spoke on the programme were articulate, reasonable and made a tremendous impression.. the quote in the thread title made an impression on me, and i hope, on all listeners.. forget religious, theological, 'biblical' issues and cut to the basics.
a rape victim was asked to demonstrate - to demonstrate, ffs - to three unqualified (middle-aged at least, presumably) men just how far her legs were apart when she was raped.. i have rarely heard anything so outrageous, and i used to investigate rape and abuse in my profession.
earlier this week i bumped into a couple of jws who i recognised from the cult cart.
a few months ago i had a long conversation with him one of them and found him to be quite friendly.
he is new to the area in the years since i left.. this time he was very defensive and said he wasn't allowed to talk to me.
@amelia.......wow......people are willing to play with fire like that????
What? Until one of their kids gets raped????? Those people must not have children.......kinda like the statement that ol boy said...." i dont care...i dont have children", ....Well you know what? Once you have a child.....LIFE CHANGES! ! ! ! !its not just about you anymore. I know this from my own experience. Once my daughter was born.....daddys little girl came first. AS IT SHOULD BE ! ! !
i just realized that 99% of jw have the same hope as the "unjust".
they want to live forever in a paradise on earth.
but they say this is also what all the "unjust" people who never knew jehovah will get.
i was baptized then i was 15 years old and just entering high school.
i had been a perfect jw teenager through out my high school years, although i craved to be a little bit worldly.
when i graduated high school, i moved out and got a job working with my older non-jw brother.
