FreeGirl2006, I totally agree with you 100% first your mother should have been by your side and they had no justifiable right to question you. Only well trained females should question victims. I hope you are taking action against the WT and the Elders.

How Far Apart Were Your Legs?
by Joe Grundy inseveral threads on here about the excellent bbc r4 programme this week ('the report') focussing on rape and abuse in barry, south wales, jws.
fat pervert mark sewell later got 14 years and i hope he is enjoying every minute of it.. the courageous ladies who spoke on the programme were articulate, reasonable and made a tremendous impression.. the quote in the thread title made an impression on me, and i hope, on all listeners.. forget religious, theological, 'biblical' issues and cut to the basics.
a rape victim was asked to demonstrate - to demonstrate, ffs - to three unqualified (middle-aged at least, presumably) men just how far her legs were apart when she was raped.. i have rarely heard anything so outrageous, and i used to investigate rape and abuse in my profession.

I did not suffer sexual abuse but suffered from repeated physical abuse as a young child and I learn early on that if I screamed or resisted the beatings got 10X worse. When I got big enough to defend my self and beat the s... out of my mother well the beatings stopped.
a child will not scream for fear of getting further harm or has been threatened.

Joe, I am a Certified Adult Volunteer we go through 6 hours of training to recognize signs of emotional, physical and sexual abuse. This training is for both female and male adults to work with young ladies between the ages of 10 and 20. We are given two instructions repeatedly during this 6 hours and they are 1) recognized NOT investigate you call 911 they investigate; 2) ALL MEN - if a young lady comes to you with emotional, physical or sexual abuse TURN her over to a FEMALE and excuse yourself from the room immediately.
I just think this questioning female victims by male elders is the most absurd thing possible and the level of questioning. Then not turning it over to authorities, some how there should be a way to get obstruction of justice charges in there.
Nothing wrong with your title.

Creative Ways To Get DFed For "Brazen Conduct"
by JW_Rogue inokay, so here's the idea let's try come up with some creative ways to get dfed under the new "brazen conduct" rule.
i'll start:.
continuously schedule get togethers at your house on the same night as the meeting, invite the entire congregation and see who shows up.. go to the memorial and drink the entire glass of wine but don't eat the bread.. regularly go to nude beaches and tell people that's what adam and eve would do.. get a jw.org tattoo on your neck and tell people you count hours anytime somebody sees it.. when a preteen brother or sister gets baptized tell them they are also ready to start driving.

Schedule Mary Kay, Avon, etc party for all the ladies during the meetings and then there would be nothing left for the contribution box it would all be spent at the party. Kids could go play on the gym set out back. -

Are Jehovah's Witnesses Sociopathic Liars ?
by Finkelstein inthe sociopathic liar beware of this dangerous sociopath.
the one behavior that characterizes the human race is so widespread that most of the time we dont even notice it.
it is extremely hard to spot and it is even harder to stop.

Thank you Finkelstein, you have just described my Mother, my sister and my estranged husband none of which were Witnesses and then the "Elder ". Now do you have a description for those of us who seem to attract those liars. -

Conti v WT court documents
by umbertoecho ini don't know if this has been read by any who are on this forum.
i have only received it in the last few minutes.
it is a good document in that, it is easy to understand, it's not full of legal jargon.

Substantially monetary damages could be assessed against the elders or congregation.”

Joe Grundy,
I work with a youth group and I am a Certified Adult Volunteer trained to recognize emotional, physical and sexual abuse we are told to report to authorities without any questions. You are 100% correct.

As many of the posters have covered the sexual abuse, I will not rehash that point.
I found this line in the text interesting:
As an organization, we view all such abuse of children, whether physical, sexual, or emotional as deplorable.
I think he or the WT might need to figure out what "Emotional Abuse " for example as recently as the February cartoon about paying attention during meetings. How about what age groups should be (the little ones) talking about Armageddon I am pretty sure that is pretty scary stuff for those little kids (OH, why don't you just take them to the next horror movie). I have not seen it but seen enough comments about a children's book that is totally inappropriate! Of course this horrid shunning thing they do to teenagers I sure would classify that under emotional abuse.
In summary that sentence alone was all cow manure!
