I really could need some help. I have a discussion with a witness. She wants to read about the 23.000 cases of abuse, there are in the arcives. She wants to know if they are solved and if the number goes global. But not from web-sides made by x-witnesses. Can anybody help me? She is not that fanatic, so maby we can help her out.

i found it always hard to find information from non-ex-witnesses about the society. worldy ppl dont care much about the society. and even if you find something from non-ex-witnesses most JWs dont believe it. its like: "if its against the JWs its from apostates and apostates lie".
lets face it: all critical infos are lies in a witness brain. there is no golden key to free a JW from his brainprison. i experienced that very well on myself - scary.
i hope you can find what you search!!
Hi Marcel
You are absolutely right. There is a very few sites where non ex-witnesses have been writing about witnesses and their scandals.
But I found an article, where Kimberly Norris are talking about the child-abuse within JW. Posted that to her, with a link from BBC, where Bill Bowen are interwieved.
And then I wrote that, when Kimberly Norris say's that she stop counting by the number of 2000 clients, it has to proff that the cases has not been solved. And about the gagorders and all the other stuff. Others has been writing and complimenting me for the post, so I think it's okay.
And I know she will answer back, she always does. I also wrote that when Bill Bowen left the witnesses because he disacreed with the policy about abuse, he has more justice in him self that the JW, and therefore more like, what God think is justice.
So let's see what she will answer. She is difficult, because sometimes she is not like a normal JW and other times she is.
Thank you for answering.
Sincerely Manjana
The only website I know of that is critical of JW policies and that claims to be by currently active JWs is Associated Jehovah's Witnesses for Reform On Blood:
As far as I can determine, this is the only really, really good website with active JWs critical of the Watchtower Society's policies. They are not ex-jws, but jws who want reform.
There is an excellent link there to an article critical of watchtower's misrepresentation of secular facts to promote it's bloody policy by attorney Kerry Louderback-Wood.
They also use the Watchtower's own literature to show its lies and misrepresentations, as well as to show the abuse and neglect of children (in need of medical care denied by JWs as result of brainwashing and deliberate misinformation).
Perhaps that could be a starting point instead: if they'd lie about the blood issue, then why would they also not lie about the sexual abusers knowingly hidden in their midst to save face in the community and to prevent losing their (brainwashed) members?
Thank you for your answer and your proposal, I will use it, if she writes to me again. I think she i on a holliday. Yes it is rather difficult to find anything at the internet, that non x-jw has written.
I think that people who are not related to JW, does'nt have any interest in writing anything, which I can understand. A few does but not many.
I will write to you, what she answers.
Sincerely Manjana
That link is http://www.ajwrb.org/. I clicked on the .com one and got a bunch of Jewish links.
