  Hello Everyone: I have been away for a while from various forums. I saw Farkel's recommendation to check out this site at JWD. So, here I am.

  The issues surrounding pedophiles is taking on momentum, and I just recently learned that my son-in-law's dad (a JW) was arrested for molesting a minor (not a JW). So, this has captured some additional attention. I will relate more as I get more details. We are actively looking into whether the perpetrator has had a career of molestation, what the Elders knew and when they knew it, and if he has messed with my grandchildren. What I do know for sure is that the Elders know about the situation, but refuse to warn the congregation until the perpertrator is convicted, AND it gets into the newspapers. Otherwise, they have decided to keep the matter 'confidential.'

  Good to see so many I know from other forums, and hope to check in a little more often. - Simply Amazing

  G'day Amazing,

  Welcome to this Home Sweet Home. It's a bit more respectful and quiet than the other house, but they engage in some thoughtful discussion. Enjoy your stay!

  Amazing, Welcome to the board. As a lurker at H2O I enjoyed reading your posts there. Last year you posted an account of how you went about getting your family to see the truth concerning the truth. If you have saved that post, would it be possible for you to post it on this forum sometime in the future? Thank you and I look forward to more great threads from you.

  Hey 7of9: Thanks for your post. My articles about this were revised somewhat (edited for grammar, spelling, etc.) and posted on Freeminds.org. It is located in the "Hot Topics" menu with 'stars or sunbursts' bullets beside each topic. The title is: "Letting your kids make their own decision". When you click on the bullet the article will appear with the original title: "How I helped my Family Leave Jehovah's Witnesses". At the end of the article I also wrote some supplementary examples on talking with our children about this. Let me know if you find it. If not, I will post a copy to this board. Thanks. - Simply Amazing
