  Theodore Jaracz aware of molestation issue in 2001 before Dateline

  by Dogpatch in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  here is a conversation with theodore jaracz, key member of the watchtower's governing body of jehovah's witnesses, initiated by alan feuerbacher in 2001.. jaracz knew about the dateline expose' of their child abuse problem at least 8 months before dateline aired.. this confirms that the governing body knew about the dateline program expose' of watchtower child abuse problem.

  of course, to be fair to jaracz, he was entirely unaware of the problems to the watchtower that would follow, including the resulting court cases, which watchtower settled out-of-court.

  six years later, the time of the court settlements, jaracz was proved to be wrong on his observations as discussed in the conversation.. watchtower had knowingly appointed molestors to positions of authority, which was established in the lawsuits, so jaracz's arguments do not hold water here.

  There have been a couple of threads about something very similar. One of them is here: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/162702/1.ashx but I can't find the other one. The URL being discussed there is different, but the info is about the same sort of thing. I wish I could find the other thread, IIRC it was longer and more detailed. But I think it ended up with no one really knowing what it all means or what it's about. Curious for sure.

  it's sad we have no newbies joining anymore.

  i miss them.

  it must be very frustrating for people who have just discovered this site and can't join.

  Yes it is to remain open, but new registrations have been locked. It is unfortunate, and I miss the newbies too, but the reasons for the lock are valid, all things considered.

  I must say that I think JD does have a point, in that without pain, pleasure has no reference point and hence loses much of its essence. Life is a spectrum, and we can't truly experience one end without some knowledge of the other. Pain does have its place, and a critical purpose at that. It only becomes tragic when the scales are tipped too far to its side, which is unfortunately the case for many of us here. There is a big difference between pain that is sought out and pain that is inflicted.
  
  Tyrone, your story about the lasagna touched me. I understand it and have experienced something similar. I think that post got to the heart of what Coco intended with this thread, and I thank you for sharing it

  what angers you about the truth

  by stillajwexelder in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  this angers me .

  elders who will not make shepherding calls to comfort their brothers and sisters but as soon as that brother or sister puts one little foot out of line those same f-----g (sorry about the language but it really angers me ) elders can not move fast enough to form a judicial committee and then are so unmerciful - it makes me want to vomit literally

  Twisting and caging and repressing people from birth, robbing them of decades of healthy happy life, stunting natural growth and learning, instilling fear, holding families hostage, making "damaged but free" a hard-earned goal at an unspeakably high price. And the obscenity of doing it all in the name of "truth."

  Small deeds of kindness -- my one and only new thread on this forum was posted in distress. You, Coco, were the first to reply, and then immediately sent me a comforting PM. You probably don't remember me, but I will always remember you :-)
  
  You are a gentleman of class and grace

  Just a PRUDENT Reminder in These Days of Rampant Forums

  by BabaYaga in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there have been countless "new forums" set up in the panic of the past few days.

  i, personally, am concerned for those i care about here.

  as a precaution first of all, do not join a forum hosted by anyone you do not know or have good reason to trust.

  I've wondered the same as ozziepost mentions. I'm not saying she is or isn't legit, because I have no idea. But within hours of Simon's announcement, she had set up a new board modeled after this one and the group had rushed to "pass her the torch." That in itself seemed odd to me, because she'd only been here for a couple of weeks! And now I see people posting here offering to send money.
  
  Like I said, I've no idea if she's legit or not, and I'm not trying to sound accusatory or anything (and no offense intended to amama2six or anyone else). I'm just saying, maybe we should all slow down a little bit. JWD will be operating as is for several months still, things are secure and moderated here, and there's plenty of time for new homes to develop and gel. I just think a mad rush into anything is generally a bad idea, and IMHO there are enough "things that make you go hmmm" with recent events that a little care and caution is warranted.
  
  Just my two cents.

  The database here has not been stolen or compromised.
  
  The references that were cited above refer to other boards - not this one.
  
  Simon also expressed concern that if he handed the forum over to others there might not be the level of privacy that he sees as necessary for a discussion board like this one. And I agree with him 100% on that

  Thank you, Lady Lee. That was my interpretation and understanding; the confirmation is appreciated.
