  it wasn't that long ago that i was a newbie here and hung on every thread and reply.

  in the short time i've been here, many things i've learnt, many attitudes, many opinions, but the one thing i remember most of all is how i was welcomed here.

  never ever underestimate how a simple hello can mean to a newbie.. j gull

  Pedophilia and the FDS

  by LoneWolf in

  2. scandals

  as you may know, there are ones at the top of the organization that stand accused of pedophilia, etc.

  as i remember, both greenlees and chitty have been exposed as such.. now there are accusations that ted jaracz is also.. ask yourself something: how did jaracz get to be at the top of a "christian" organization when almost nothing about his personality reflects anything that is christian?

  which of the fruitages of the spirit could you associate with his conduct?.

  Bill Bowen's unfortunate attack

  by Jim Penton in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  like carl olof jonsson, this is the first time i have ever written to this forum.

  i have decided to do so, however, because i am saddened at what bill bowen has chosen to do in reference to ray franz.

  let me say that i given bill full marks for publicizing an issue child abuse and the watchtower cover up of it and for taking a stand that has cost him a great deal personally.

  "Bill seems to think that Jehovahs Witnesses are more guilty of child sexual abuse than members of other religions"

  Proof please before you judge

  ive been reading these posts and some on other websites for awhile now, trying to figure things out for myself.

  im still a jw, a non-believing one if you will.

  i more or less grew up as a jw, my father was an alcoholic and my mother became a jw when i was a kid.

  Hi Buster........you are indeed correct, I'm sooner or later going to instigate a conversation with my Dub family, not an argument but an observation say and want to use this, Ray Franz wrote something on this but Im away from home and havent got the book, it said something along the lines of since the death of the apostles, on average only 70 ave been accepted in to this class, based on the 144,000, minus how many are alive today, divided by nearly 2000 years, I'm thinking this statement will at last get them thinking.
