I brought this subject up to those in high places. I then played the video of Steven Lett stating, " that Jehovah's organization protects little ones from pedophiles." I was told that by looking at these things that I was judging imperfect men and looking down on Jehovah's organization. Just a side note. There's a big difference between I'm imperfect and just said or reacted quickly and made a mistake. To methodically spending relentless hours hiding and protecting abusers. I've been studying lately the scriptures that the organization uses in disfellowshipping people. Here we have Matthew 18:15 -17. Matthew 18:15-17
[15]"If your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private; if he listens to you, you have won your brother.
[16]But if he does not listen to you, take one or two more with you, so that by the mouth of two or three witnesses every fact may be confirmed.
[17]If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.
I was astonished what I read in verse 17. If someone had a pedophile problem or another such problem and he brought it before everyone in the congregation. They could help that brother or sister. In the fight against their sin. Protecting those in the congregation. These kinds of people that are doing these horrible things. Are running Jehovah's name in the mud. What a sad state of affairs.
AdminIt’s a difficult subject to have to deal with, especially as they’re are individuals in this group who have undergone the same injustices. When I first mentioned about the Australian Royal Commission all those years ago, I was called a liar and certain brothers tried to destroy my Facebook group, saying that it was all apostate lies, that our brothers would never do such things let alone withhold information. Sadly it has brought reproach on Jehovahs name, as we were spending I think 4,000 dolla... moreIt’s a difficult subject to have to deal with, especially as they’re are individuals in this group who have undergone the same injustices. When I first mentioned about the Australian Royal Commission all those years ago, I was called a liar and certain brothers tried to destroy my Facebook group, saying that it was all apostate lies, that our brothers would never do such things let alone withhold information. Sadly it has brought reproach on Jehovahs name, as we were spending I think 4,000 dollars a day of our brothers donations to not hand over the files containing these pedophiles. Not a year goes by without more cases coming to light and what makes it worse is that theres never been any real apology from the organisation, they still insist on keeping the two witnesses rule, it should never had been applied in this situation, even a lawyer at the Australian Royal Commission showed a scripture referring to a girl who had been raped in a field, who didn’t need two witnesses to be believed but we chose to ignore it. Many children who could not find two witnesses, were never believed, some cross examined by the elder or father who sexually abused them. Some of these have fallen away from the organisation, these are amongst the scattered sheep which Jehovah will want an accounting for, Ezekiel 34 speaks about those who were pushed out on the flank and become food for the wolves. This is amongst the things which cause sighing and groaning, trying to protect Jehovahs name has instead brought serious reproach, because the scriptures say at
Isaiah 29:15
“Woe to those who go to great lengths to conceal their plans from Jehovah. Their deeds are done in a dark place, While they say: “Who sees us? Who knows about us?”
Jehovah will roar and its at the entrance of his temple that his judgement will start, he will not allow his name to be profaned any longer, we just have to have faith and rely on Jehovah, he is a God of Justice all is coming to light.
Ezekiel 34:15
15 “I myself will feed my sheep, and I myself will make them lie down,”declares the Sovereign Lord Jehovah. 16 “The lost one I will search for, the stray I will bring back, the injured I will bandage, and the weak I will strengthen; but the fat one and the strong one I will annihilate. I will feed that one with judgment.”
17 “‘As for you, my sheep, this is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah says: “I am about to judge between one sheep and another sheep, between the rams and the male goats”
So as we see Jehovah will not be late, he will bring justice while vindicating his Holy name.
