Well that's not how you expressed yourself earlier. I responded to your quote here:
Jah creats loving individuals, satan misleads them , Jehovah then lovingly gives us another chance and provides his son, and still satan misleads us yet Jehovah again forgives and forgives and warns us about satan and yet sadly still some blame Jah, when clearly its SATAN...Hmmmmmmm
My point in my original response was the hidden damage abuse does to a child's spirituality. And how that damage is only exacerbated by telling the child the fault does not lie with the offender you see but with some remote, invisible entity and if you want to help or to feel better, you should pray to another remote, invisible entity. You don't seem to quite understand that Jehovah does bear some responsibility.
I am very angry with Jehovah for not interfering. Not just with a child in America, but starving children, child brides, child prostitutes and so on around the globe. Jehovah could step in and stop it, but he doesn't. Frankly I think he has a lot of explaining to do.
Telling a child that one day, in some unnamed distant future, the man raping you or beating on you will be judged by Jehovah really isn't a lot of help. Even saying it to an adult survivor is pretty pointless. So what? Who cares?
The point I was trying to make, and others on this thread, is Jehovah from the Bible has not behaved consistently, fairly or lovingly to all children. He orders the murder of some children. He allows other children to be separated from their families and be sold as slaves. He even turns a blind eye to a child who believes in him and begs for the beatings and rapes to stop.
If that were a description of a human being, what would you call him? How would A man who was guilty of these things be viewed by Jehovah's Witnesses?
You see these are the sorts of questions that must be addressed in recovery from abuse. Remember I said spirituality does have a place but in recovery, not prevention.
