From your comments, it seems you are not aware of the MANY other cases of child abuse that have actually been settles “out of court” which IF there was nothing wrong they would not have settled at all, and then there is one major case that went to court, and the abused child, not an adult, WON against the “organization”, and she won MILLIONS of dollars from the HEADQUARTERS of the “organization” NOT just the individual, because the “headquarters” have been sweeping it under the rug and hiding it all.

Pedophiles are allowed positions of authority, as I bring out in this post; a letter to all elders dated October 2012 stated outright that “it cannot be said in every case” that those who had sexually molested children would never qualify for privileges or authority in the congregation.

No, JWs do not have a “serious attitude” toward sexual abusers. They have misled the congregation by saying that a “known” child molester cannot have privileges of service, but that letter itself (and others before it) say that the branch office will determine who is considered a “known” child molester. They are referring to how many people know about the incident, not whether or not it actually occurred. As I bring out in this post, they referred to a man going into his stepdaughter’s bedroom and fondling her breasts while she slept as a “minor uncleanness.”

Note, this information is taken from their own letters from Bethel, not local elders. I really wish you would open your eyes more and not keep thinking that they’re just “imperfect” when they blatantly mislead their members, including you, and refer to molesting a child as something “minor.” I also wish you would do your own research and find out that they really don’t have the most accurate understanding of the bible; start with JWfacts.com and then find out what real bible scholars say about the JW translation of the bible. If you want to follow the bible, you owe it to yourself to do your own research rather than simply accepting the words of men who claim to know the truth.

I am shocked. I have never been a victim of sexual abuse so I do not know first hand what procedures the elders would take but I seriously doubt that this brother’s advice is norm in our society. There is a brother in my congregation who, like 30 years ago, was accused of sexual abuse, yet found ‘not guilty’. While he is still allowed to attend meetings and be part of the congregation, because of the allegation against him, he will never be able to have privleges (no public prayer, talks, etc) in our congregation again. This is just an example (that I have seen personally) that shows the serious attitude JWs have towards sexual abusers. Everything in this recorded talk sounds like his opinion… Not at all bible based. No JW that I know would agree with this… There will always be those grumpy old elders who say offensive things from the podium without really thinking. Why the audience was laughing?? I have no idea except to say this whole thing is screwed up. I remain strong in my faith because I truly believe that Jehovah’s Witnesses have the most accurate understanding of the Bible. Unfortunately Men are so imperfect.. even in this organization.

YES we want you to handle it like the world. Report child abusers since it is a crime. Don’t protect the abusers. Notify the parents so they can protect their own children. Cooperate with the authorities when it comes to handing over information. GEEZ, is it that hard?!

Yes, it is that hard. These beasts are modified. We should all remember that when examining Jahoogie logic..there is none….

All points previously stated…yes!!! It sickens me how they can vilify the victim. As Candice Conti said “Who molests a child with 1 witness, let alone 2”. Really???? I am so sad my 2 adult sons are still in this cult!!!

Forget about any REAL abuse because of ONE example of a WITNESS girl LYING about her father “touching her”! Add sarcasm of saying “get your own pioneers”, get your own this and that, so you forget about the REAL issue of NOT FOLLOWING CESAR’S LAW, which by the way IS COMMANDED TO DO IN THE BIBLE, and then JUSTIFY that not reporting “Works for us”!

(Interesting that they didn’t say it was good that they were prepared to save lives with the blood, just in case it was needed, but simply criticized the fact that it wasn’t needed after all.) The June 22, 2003, Awake talked about coping with tragedy, mentioning Sept. 11 along with other examples, by remembering to blame Satan and not Jehovah, to pray, stay active with Christian activities, read the bible and their other literature, and not overdose on graphic news coverage. The August 22, 2003, Awake gave the example of a young boy who presented a discourse at school about the religion, claiming that they “endeavor to provide distressed people with support after terrible world atrocities, such as September 11,…” The October 22, 2002, Awake criticized other religions holding prayer vigils after Sept. 11.

The January 8, 2002, Awake has a full spread on how people ran to the Watchtower building. It’s very self-congratulatory, which is odd because Jehovah’s Witnesses do not maintain shelters for the homeless or domestic violence victims of any sort, yet the magazine seems to allude that they’re ready to help with a major tragedy strikes. It says they fed and housed about 70 people who wound up there.

You can find any of these magazines on their website if you want to read the info first-hand.

I’m in Australia so a bit removed from 9/11, just interested to know what they said about it or how they reacted?
