My Thoughts.......

    THINK about this.........23,720 innocent little lambs, those that are JESUS' precious lambs......have been sexually abused and mistreated.

    That IS a shocking number isn't it, considering the Watchtower CLAIMS to be the ONLY religion approved by God himself! It is appalling to say the least! Besides that, the mere fact that it took ONE unsuspecting person to stumble onto and "uncover" this filthy secret file and expose it....is disturbing. The WTS KNEW about this (of course) but then CHOSE to bury this information and not allow ALL the other six million JWs "in" on such crucial information! And THEN.......the sister who discovered this atrocity was dimissed from the WTS membership in disgrace, BECAUSE she found this damaging information!

    How did Jesus deal with liars and scoundrels when he was on the earth?

    What was HIS reaction to the unscrupulous men like the moneychangers and liars in his place of worship?

    How would HE feel if HE had discovered those 23,720 cases of KNOWN pedophiles at the WTS that day?

    Would HE have conspired with the so-called "Faithful and Discreet" Slave Class to keep this knowledge HIDDEN and pretend all was well in the congregations that were "protecting" his smallest sheep?

    The "inconsistencies" and flawed policies of each WTS-JW congregation through the "leadership provided through the Society's District Overseers, Circuit Overseers, and Elders in protecting the FLOCK they care for...is deplorable at best.

    If a religion CLAIMS to have THE only pipeline directly to God, it had better be absolutely on target for everything that they say and DO as spiritual leaders. ALL the stupid ever-changing doctrines, and ALL the foolish guesses and OUTRIGHT LIES they have told-----only gives solid proof that the WTS is a complete and total phoney!

    Some JWs feel that they have gotten a "few" doctrines "right but who really knows for SURE what they've gotten right and what they haven't? This NOT make them stand out as credible...it just makes them one MORE off-beat "form of religion" in a LONG line of oddballs.

    All the discrepancies that we're now familiar with---the blood fraction nonsense, the alliance with the U.N., the "generation change", the pretense about the Donation Arrangement, the mandate to label anyone who is not a JW as on Satan's side so you must not socialize with them, etc, etc, etc.....do not make SENSE other than to the WT "Society" which has its own agenda.

    And, it doesn't make sense to anyone OTHER than the JWs! The WTS stands by its ridiculous teachings by CLAIMING that everything they believe can be backed up by the Bible. Example: Their "now allowing certain blood fractions" is certainly NOT in the bible! Give the JWs a bible and ask THEM to show you where it's found.

    Ask THEM to show you about the 1935 and 1914 claims FROM THE BIBLE, since ALL their claims are "bible-based" they SHOULD be able to PROVE these same claims easily! Right?

    Personally speaking, don't see that 1914 nonsense in MY version. My Grandparents never mentioned seeing Jesus arrive in 1914, and I think they'd have said SOMETHING about it! Just MORE claims that are NOT in the bible, and CANNOT be proven. (Ooops, Jesus came as .......er......um, INVISIBLE, but we couldn't SEE him, right?)

    The WTS' dirty deeds are being exposed and their sins have massed up to the Heavens...its pretty hard to NOT see that if you a "mature Christian" (tm), but it IS hard to realize and admit to yourself that you've been deliberately duped and deceived by an Organization you completely TRUSTED in, and they had you believing their "claims" that have proven unfounded.

    The WTS WILL be held accountable for mistreating and mishandling Jesus sheep, young AND old alike.

    God has clearly said to"get OUT from among them" when this exposure becomes so apparent that it cannot be denied or excused any longer.

    The Watchtower does NOT have "God's backing" and is a fraud. It deserves to be held accountable and then dissolved along with ALL the other false religions that will meet the same fate. THEN they will not BE allowed to mislead any more honest-hearted and trusting ones away from the unconditional love of the "real" Lord.

    I have only one comment. The number is probably a lot higher than the 23,ooo

    My abuser had 3 victims before he was associated with the JWs and 3 more while he was associated. And very possibly more after.

    But even if the number included the 3 during his association and let's say that the average abuser has 3 (which is an extremely low number since many pedophiles have close to 70 victims before they are caught) then I think you can safely triple the number of victims.

    Annie,

    That was an EXCELLENT post, and I totally agree with you.

    This is truly attrocious! And to think; I was knocking on doors to discuss the contemptable behaviors of the Catholic church and their priests; all the while the same thing was going on in the religion I was representing. I am angry that I was made into a hypocrite by the organization... had to keep those service hours up! I am feeling a bit sick and woozy by the 20,000 number, but to hear it is more likely tripple?!? I'm having major problems with the process of forgiveness and moving forward. How can this be forgiven? I can see that it is not up to me to forgive the abusers... I don't want that responsability, but I will need to forgive the organization for covering over such a hidious attrocity in order to move forward with my life and not hold feelings of resentment that could prevent me from seeing the beauty and love that surrounds me in my life. I don't know how anyone is going to be able to do that... especially the victims and their families. My heart truly goes out to each and every one of the 60,000+ that have been victimized not only by their abusers, but also by the very organization that was supposed to keep them safe and protected.

    I feel for you, Octavia. It will take time to heal and forgive, but forgiveness is the key to healing.

    In addition to what you said, I was thinking of all the good Witnesses that have died NEEDLESSLY because of the WTS's false teaching on organ transplants, whole blood transfusions and immunizations (which they have since changed)! Has the WTS made any compensation to the family members for being responsible for their loved ones' deaths? I DOUBT it!

    Lee......

    Oh, Hon.......if I had ANY possible way of finding out the ACTUAL numbers, I'd shout it from every newsgroup, discussion board and newpaper I could find!

    I have to "go on" only what I can verify, although I, too, have NO doubt how high the real amount of cases MUST BE by now!

    My God, this morning when I posted this elsewhere, one clod had the nerve to say that "maybe it's a TEST by Jehovah, to prove our LOYALTY to the Organization!!!!!!" I almost lost my temper AND my breakfast! The BLIND FOOLS!!!!

    All I could do was ask if they honestly thought that Jesus would play MIND GAMES with 23,000 of his littlest lambs---to PROVE YOUR loyalty????

    I logged off and went to look out the window to calm myself.....

    Thanks so much for your post,

    hugs,

    Octavia,

    I think 95% of us on here all feel the same way! [Thanks, Simon, for giving us a place to vent and to be heard!]

    I think it's safe to say (as my posts will back up ,smile>), that *I*'m pretty angry myself, and for the very same reasons.......and this anger IS justified.

    hugs,

    No, Cameo, there IS no compensation or even an apology when loved ones get this kind of blow.....everything is just swept under the rug hoping that nobody will know........

    Hi Galaxy7,

    Write to your local newspapers, TELL whoever will listen about it...I've even emailed JWs I used to be associated with........I'm not very popular doing this...but then what I have to SAY isn't very popular, either! No one likes to hear that their religion is guilty of these acts.........

    hugs,

    Annie
