  JWs trying hard to hide in obscurity right now

  by Zoos in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  on other discussion boards where active jws participate i notice them deflecting questions about the royal commission in australia by bringing up child abuse statistics of other churches, ostensibly to demonstrate that there is nothing news worthy to see here... "move along!".

  they are trying to make this story disappear into obscurity, irrelevance, as if it's just part and parcel of big institutional life, particularly of the religious nature.

  oh, now they compare themselves to every other religion on the block?.

  I think other western countries will definitely take notice and go on the offensive as well.

  If this happens I will swim to Australia and kiss the Commission's feet.

  Jehovah's Witnesses have spent their lives slamming all other religions as "less than", "counterfeit", "Satan's institutions", "The Whore of Babylon". The Watchtower has never hesitated to decry other religious institutions as slated for destruction at Armageddon. Jehovah's Witnesses will not even associate with non-JWs for fear of getting false religious "icky" on them. Jehovah's Witnesses are the clean people, righteous, acceptable to and loved by God to the exclusion of all other people and groups. Jehovah's Witnesses and their glorious organization are the beaming light of purity and truth, hand selected by God, guided and directed by God, those to whom all mankind must flow for salvation.

  .... until they get caught with their britches down and now they want to hide in obscurity amongst the religions of the world.

  HYPOCRITES!

  I'd hardly call 1006 REPORTED cases in Australia alone a few cases!

  Not cases. 1006 INDIVIDUAL predators... who likely produced several cases each.

  Wonder how many instances went unreported, especially back in the day when such things were not talked about.

  New BBC article on JW abuse

  by snare&racket in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  is religion doing enough to root out abuse?.

  he would go upstairs, on the premise that he was saying a prayer with his niece, then sexually abuse her.

  mark sewell was sentenced to 14 years in prisonafterwards, the elders told her that as it was only her account against that of sewell, nothing more could be done.

  “Individuals are free to leave as they wish,” Fenton says. “They are not disfellowshipped or shunned simply because they no longer wish to associate with Jehovah’s Witnesses.”

  What goes through the mind of an active JW when he/she reads this line? How do you absorb that sentence and then go on shunning according to established corporate policy?

  so the other day i was walking through the huge local regional outlet shopping mall.

  i see this sign "how do deal with anxiety" didn't take very long at all to confirm it was a jw booth.. that sign bothered me.

  do jw actually think they have something to say about anxiety?
