Why do only xian religions have soo many pedo problems ?

by mP in

im not trying to poke fun at any particular religion or show favouritism, but im having a hard time recalling similar repeated scandals in non xian religions.

i cant recall hearing of pedo scandals in islam or buddism.

yes i know that islam perpetrates many other evils like so call honour killings but buddhism seems to be rarely in the news for similar evils ?

People use the covering guise of religious virtue and innocence in many religious organizations to hide their evil social behaviors,

good to see the JW organization is now being exposed and is to not immune to this societal social phenomenon.

This relates to all religions.

Christianity might up the ante by offering forgiveness of all sins.

JWS might up the ante even more by their doctrinal law that states that two people must be a witness to

many wrong social behaviors by their adherent members.

rick simons, candace conti's attorney, will be interviewed on the six screens of the watchtower conference phone line this evening.

there's a good chance that candace will join in, but that's not set in stone.

the host of the program, rick, told me to tell everybody that he is learning how to calm down and to do better on these conference calls.

Gradually the pretentious and puritanical white sheet of righteousness is being pulled off the JW organization for all to observe and

thats a good thing for everyone as far as I am concerned.

the host of the program, rick, told me to tell everybody that he is learning how to calm down and to do better on these conference calls.

Jim McCabe, an attorney for the congregation, said he planned to appeal the jury's decision.

"The Jehovah's Witnesses hate child abuse and believe it's a plague on humanity," McCabe told the Tribune. "Jonathan Kendrick was not a leader or a pastor, he was just a rank-and-file member. This is a tragic case where a member of a religious group has brought liability on the group for actions he alone may have taken."

If the organization hates child abuse that much why didn't they report this person to the proper authorities to rid this individual

from their congregation along with his heinous crimes ?

The Truth of the matter is the organization is set up to cover over peoples crimes to protect the name and image of their religious

organization, their public image is far more important to uphold, than to protect children from perpetrators who might very well

be exploiting this situation of cover over, by the WTS. organization.

More exposure the better, people should call all major News Media organizations ( CNN etc.... ) to this event, they might be very interested

in making this situation public. They've certainly did when the Catholic pedophile situation came about.

Millions of dollars paid out by a religious organization for hiding pedophiles is REALLY news worthy.

It took me a long time to write this...i'm staying.

by MsGrowingGirl20 in

it took me a long time to write this....i'm being brutally honest...i am still a reg pioneer...three sundays ago,i was praying and asking god for a sign or something because i was so confused...i told him exactly what i needed to see for me to believe.i was feeling terrible--crying and feeling sick because i was so confused.ten minutes after, i walked into the kingdom hall and to my surprise--my prayer was answered!

i soooo wasn't expecting it, even though i prayed.

so this is where almighty god wants me to be,ii've reasoned.

Finkelstein

Sounds like MsGG20 doesn't care that she's devoting herself to a commercialized and corrupt false prophet/profit. $$$

Shame, to think she's putting her life in peril for doing so.

Jehovah and his son Jesus Christ never had a thing to do with this commercialized false prophet, perhaps one day

she'll Awake and realize that........I sure hope so !

The WTS. has always been a work of pretentious bullshitting to draw attention to its published goods.

Self proclaiming this and that was part of the indentured marketing scam.

Don't want to be apart of this scam and not recognize the self imposed identity which they established for themselves,

then they will screw you and if you have any family members in the organization, they will break apart your relationship

with them to protect their own psychological exploitive hold they have .

Honest and analytical critical thinking, is not appreciated by the WTS.

How many here smoke?

by cantleave in

jw

i don't and am very unlikely to after seeing my father dying of a smoking related lung disease (even though i would like to try a high quality cigar).. but i am curious to see how many people take up smoking after leaving the org.. .

Finkelstein

there is a school of though that suggests the increase in lung cancer isn't as a result of smoking, its a result of all the nuclear bomb testing,

HA HA HA ...... Must have come from the school of complacent idiocy

What it takes to become an atheist.

by dontplaceliterature in

jw

i was pondering this today during lunch, and to me it seems that it comes down to whether or not you can accept that you will one day be permanantly gone and anyone you have lost in death will never be alive again.

once a person becomes comfortable with these two ideas, there isn't really any incentive to believe.

maybe it's an over simplification, but it seems to me that this is the heart of the matter.

Embellished stories told by ignorant people thousands of years ago doesn't make for solid evidence of a god, good or bad.

The Watchtower Taught Jesus Inspected His Domestics In 1917-1919, They Claim He Cleaned His Organization, Right?

by Bubblegum Apotheosis in

we were taught in early wts publications our lord jesus christ inspected all religions throughout the earth.

all religions failed to meet our master's expectations, except this little group in atlanta's federal prison.

if jesus took a hand's on approach with these members, why has he not kept the modern day jehovah's witness organization clean?

Finkelstein

Unfortunately the formula to sustain this organization is set to be reworked over and over again.

The WTS. were always diligent craftsmen in exploiting people's ignorance and to a further extent their inner insecurities.

The WTS. can reform and create new doctrines, change the names of its two prominent pieces of literature namely the Watchtower and Awake,

something they've done in the past and there is always going to be segment of the population that they can exploit and cultivate

their own subjective slaves.
