  For those of you "not baptised" and too afraid to front the RC. WT is hoping you won't come forward.

  hello to those following what is going in australia with our royal commission.. i want to let all those abused, neglected, shunned and blamed that i understand why you may not front the rc.

  the wtbts is hoping you will consider yourself an invalid complainant, because you are not or were not.....baptised.

  if you were abused at a young age and you told on your dad or the bad man that did it.......you would have been taken aside by the overseer and read scriptures about lying and being immoral; even if you didn't know what that word meant.

  The courage of you folks who have lived through stuff like this never ceases to amaze me. Talk about "letting your light shine".

  Turns out they don't care about JW children either.............

  so by now most of us have seen the clip of an elder getting owned by the attorney regarding why they don't seem to care for the children outside of the congregation by refusing to report suspected child abusers.

  if not, here's a link:.

  All the child needs to do is pray more and go door to door. Problem solved.

  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?.

  watch the organization's literature shy away from overtly itemizing child sexual abuse as one of the evils of false religion

  Armageddon better hurry up and get here or Watchtower won't have anything evil to talk about.

  JW Reaction to Royal Commission Reports

  has anybody confronted any jws with the royal commission reports on the news yet?

  i showed my 8-year old daughter a newspaper headline about it, and when she told my jw wife that the jws in australia were in trouble for not reporting over 1,000 child abusers to police, her response was "oh, really?

  well, i don't know what the rules are over there.

  I hear the sounds of a woman getting beat next door all the time.

  Oh well. I don't know what the rules are over there.

  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.
