  It seems that there should be some local media coverage of this situation. So far we have Steve's version and the minimal court records. Court records are irrefutable, It seems no one is able to confirm all the statements made by Steve Unthank by independant sources. Please post some independant sources otherwise this is heresay and not of any value other than pissing people off who already have a hatred and distrust of the Borg no matter how valid. I want it to be false because I don't want to think any children were harmed. There seems little hope of that in the JW world. Again, please post an investigative report by an objective 3rd party. Until then we can't quote anything in Steve's articles as athouratative. No active JW will accept these reports until the court records sustain them as accurate. Keep fighting Steve.

  australia, breaking news: police launch investigation into the rape and molestation of a number of children with the traralgon congregation of jehovah's witnesses.

  jw news can report that victoria police have launched an investigation into the rape and molestation of a number of children within the traralgon congregation of jehovah's witnesses over the past two years.

  according to initial reports,... the body of elders were strictly ordered by the watchtower bible and tract society of australia to cover-up the multiple rapes of a number of children within the traralgon congregation allegedly committed by a fellow member of the jehovah's witness religion.

  "Being a pedophile helps a man inside the KH" That's a pretty general statement and one that doesn't read true. Though the fools don't act on reports it doesn't mean its a plus being a pedophile. Thank God (if there were one) for Uthank and his righteous indignation leading him to take action as he has. He will be helping protect many children and expose the 2 witness system for what it is, unloving, anti-innocence and evil.

  Any social order that gives authority to others is prone to abuses by sociopaths.It happens in families, the workplace etc. Now if you were to emphasize the fact that one should never question even egregious abuses of power by those appointed to positions of oversight because JW's must suspend all common sense & ability to call bullshit, you would be exposing a unique aspect of the Theocracy as preached by WT. No one may question the sociopath elder's demagoguery. Suffer & wait is the mantra.

  cute little story i thought you might enjoy.

  my teenage, non-true-believing son was recently baby sitting for some jw relatives so they could enjoy a nice evening dining out with my wife and i. the jw parents of the little kids are very liberal and we enjoy their company from time to time.

  anyway, my son had just one ethical dilemma facing him as he contemplated his evening with the kids.

  I thnk this shows how the prayers of most JW's reflect the party line and not heartfelt expressions. Remember these gems, "we approach you in the name of your son and our redeemer, Jesus Christ", or "Through the ransom and our redeemer Jesus Christ" and of course, "we thank you for the many blessing we enjoy..." the usual drivel. Kids can hear the repetition and likely miss it.

  "Black boys are kids too" what the hell sort of quote is that? It happened in North Carolina so perhaps that's why his race is important. The whole thing is pathetic.

  Do you think that we are in the last days?

  do you think that we are in the last days?

  i really don't think we are in the last days.

  i came to the conclusion that 1914 is false and is no more than another year in man's history, so hence we are not living in the last days prophesied by jesus.

  A young sister disassociated herself and when asked why she answered: "I just think there are too many things we are not allowed to do and I'm tired of being told what to think and what to do. I want to enjoy life and I can't do that as a Jehovah's Witness so there you have it." I admired her even when I was still indoctrinated, at least she wasn't half assed like most others. It was distrubing because I think that even then I agreed with her.

  i wish i could scan it and get your thoughts.

  it was a picture of a happy group of witnesses during a meeting for field service.

  there was a. comment from a local high-horse-rider about a brother in the front row in the picture being disobedient.

  If it's the one without the book and questions printed out its ironic that all he has on his lap is an OPEN Bible! Apostate!
