Ozzie, it's good to see them scurm!!!! If this doesn't open peoples eyes, then I don't know what will!!!! I sent some emails to my non j.w. siblins telling them about Silentlambs. I'm sure it went through my family like a wild fire! Dissapointingly no one wants to inquire about it to me. I was surprised how offencive they all have seemed to take it. I had one brother that email me and told me to stop sending him things that were against Jehovah's Witness!!!! *He's been d.f.ed for years!!! Can you believe it! My other siblins are avoiding me like the pleage. I swear, I think, they think, if they say anything negitive about the org, they would be showing disrespect to my deceased mother. For the life of me, I do NOT understand why they wont open their eyes and see the WTS for what it really is! In stead I feel they think I'm trying to start trouble or something within the family. I simple wanted my family to be aware of the abuse that was going on in the congergation. I don't know why it's so hard for them to see, hell, they know that I experienced it first hand from my first husband and nothing was EVER done about it.
I've got an idea for you to help your family see the truth about the Pedophile Policy:
You can ask your family members to Call up Bethel, and ask them these 3 questions:
1: Do Elders require 2 eye-witnesses for child molestation in order to Disfellowship or Sanction the accused molester?
2: Is it true that if the victim (or the victim's parents) tries to warn other children or parents about the molester, that the child (or the child's parents) can be Disfellowshipped, Shunned, or otherwise Disciplined for "Slander against an Innocent Brother" because the child did not have 2 eye-witnesses?
3: Is it true that, if there are NOT 2 Eye-Witnesses, and the child has been molested by her father or mother, then the Elders will send the child back home without doing anything else?
When one of my family members called Bethel, the Bethel person said YES to the first 2 questions! (My family member didn't ask the 3rd Question)
Here is a list of Bethel Phone Numbers:
