however sometimes even on this board sometimes threads have stated that the jw elders have been occasionally painted as the " fall guys " who take the rap for the wt society leaders - which of course is true - to a degree.

however- that being said , many times elders have failed to protect - or even have failed to advocate for child abuse victims when it has been within their power to do so.

STADD said: I remember a conversation I had with a CO around 2005 about child abuse and he told me it was not that bad in the Wt. org. That there was only a few cases of it worldwide. I said to him I must know all of them when I told him of 7 cases I knew about. He had this scared look come over his face and then he changed the subject.

I concur with what STADD said. It is my experience that most JWs do not realize the enormity of the issue of child abuse in the organization.

I told my Dad a few years ago that if there was just 1 JW who was a child molester, then this cannot be God's organization. How could/would God allow this? My Father could not answer this question. This was in direct relation to a discussion we had about a child molester in my Dad's former congregation.

JM, you bring up another very valid point about the Biblical flood/Noah's Ark story and the issue of feeding all the animals on that boat for a year.

LOL! Thanks VI. I will be sending those videos to one of my friends. We have fun regularly dissing the Bible.

Christians not knowing the Bible

by Viviane in

last night a young man in a bar struck up a conversation with me.

our town is having our pride parade soon and he brought it up, the bible and how it's against the bible.

me being me, i said that i couldn't care less that it was against the bible and that it was a horrible guide for morality anyway.

Do or did the JW's believe dinosaurs were vegetarians?

by Crazyguy in

i thought at one time or maybe they still do believe that the dinosaurs were vegetarians?

Heaven

LisaRose beat me to it. It's actually that they believed ALL dinosaurs were vegetarians.

The thing that amazes me are the Creationists who think people lived at the same time as the dinosaurs. Apparently these people have never heard of the fossil record.

Viviane, I can relate to your OP. I have had many conversations with Christians and it amazes me how much they do not know about the Bible or the natural world. One of my friends is Catholic. I pointed out the scripture at Ezekiel 23:20. She was shocked. She had no idea that was in the Bible.

fmf said: We could make a lot of money starting our own cult, what do you say Cofty and Viviane? The church of Cathartocism? Or church-of-derp?

Just out of curiosity, I Googled 'church of derp'. This was the first image that came up:
