Sadly, this is such a typical reply. Hitler’s declaration to eradicate Jehovah’s Witnesses is utterly irrelevant in this regard. The continuity of the Watchtower Society in the face of oppression during WW2 does not excuse the deplorable sexual deviance of its congregants. Furthermore, it does not serve to explain the blatant refusal of elders to protect the welfare of vulnerable members. It is a cloying response to state that there are ‘bad people in good religions,’ when Jehovah’s Witnesses have long vocalised their spiritual primacy over Christendom, whilst vehemently denigrating the integrity of religious multiplicities.

The focus of The Royal Commission, concerning this particular case, was upon the surreptitious conduct of hierarchical members in the organisation. What is more, the willingness to implement archaic biblical precepts that force a victim to confront the accused, in the presence of an all-male judiciary, is macabre and repulsive. It has been evidential throughout the history of the organisation how policies and ideation are repackaged and modified to suit the ever-shifting sands of Watchtower indoctrination.

The fact remains that in Australia alone, over one thousand souls were subjected to deploarable sexual abuse by those who purported to be trustworthy, portraying themselves in public as righteous, family oriented representatives of the Christian faith.

Jehovah’s Witnesses are so utterly convinced of their elitist dominance over the commonality, that they are simply unable to conceive why their aberrant behaviour and disdain for secular government is now being called to account. A vile, tawdry fiscal cult that has for too long exercised a gross measure of control over innocent folk, who have fallen prey to this extremist form of millenarian habituation.

The sheer arrogance of The Watchtower Society and affiliates in announcing themselves as the only true followers of Christ and Jehovah is astonishing, declaring all other religions as misguided pretenders to the throne. Without any validity to bolster their claims as divinely approved representatives of the God they serve, Jehovah’s Witnesses perpetuate a closed-door regimen of indoctrination and isolationism, actively pauperising the furtherance of higher education, external association and the rape of minors.

Equally difficult to swallow is the posit that an exponential growth of Watchtower membership is proof enough that the end always justifies the means. Such wilful indifference towards the suffering of their own spiritual kin highlights an alarming maladaptive fanaticism. This has been fervently fostered by threats of exclusion, should any affiliate dare to challenge the legislation imposed by the self-assumed ‘faithful and discreet slave.’

Beautifully stated! It is a shame that Jehovah’s Witnesses have their heads buried in the sand. Most of my husband’s family not only shuns us, but will do no other research beyond their own literature.

Hopefully the Jehovah’s witnesses will continue to get hit very hard in the pocket book and get the exposure they deserve.

There are so many things wrong with this organization! During the 70’s the “end” was eminent! The organization was offering 6 month bible studies. If I didn’t get baptized after that time period, it was explained to me by Sue (a pioneer) that I would be dropped, she would have to move on and that I would be destroyed at Armageddon. 17 and terrified, I accepted the bible study and l got baptized 6 months or so later. I tried to embrace the organization and for years I did. 1975 came and went. My mother faded out of the organization. I would go from door to door preaching the “good news,” participate in the theocratic ministry school, and volunteer at the assembly hall. I increasingly felt empty and alone. I no longer could preach what I no longer believed. The new lights, the 1914 generation, the shunning, the sexual abuse, the judging of who’s spiritually strong or weak, micromanaging the music, our dress, discouraging higher education, association outside the “truth,” no blood transfusions allowed, but allowing blood fragments, having ties to the United Nations, etc… the list is almost endless! I do hope Jehovah’s Witnesses wake up and realize there will be no paradise earth. They will not be burying billions of dead worldly people, there will be no Armageddon! Open your eyes Jehovah’s Witnesses and do some research. You will see the real truth about “Your Truth!”.

It is amazing how much this Organization are willing to lie at all cost.As a former Police Officer, I was also a Jehovah’s Witness and got to see the ugly side of this organization. A family member who had molested his own 5 year old son, his incident was kept hidden by other family members who were Jehovah’s Witnesses. I actually had an Elder defend this sick behavior, stating he was forgiven by God’s Holy spirit. Sick, sick, sick.
