he was just stating some evidence about Jehovah's witnesses that they aren't anything like the people stated in the article i find it just silly and not very respectful for the Jehovah witness community that people come to the wrong conclusions that they see them as awful people while they aren't

The catholic institution covered up and moved on paedophiles though as a rule so no, "there's good and bad in both" doesn't apply to this particular point imo

The church elders would hold a meeting with the victim/victims family, and the accused, and the victim was expected to recount the events and allegations in front of the abuser. This is actually worse than ignoring it imo, because no child victim should be expected to go through that amount of shame.

I don't necessarily agree with the "living your truth" phrase (an Oprah thing I think?). I feel that expression is too vague and preachy for me. However, I do feel we all have to make "peace" with the uncertainties in life one way or another and for some that leads directly to their path to faith... and we all do it in our own way and in our own time. I do respect others in the sense that we are all mutually guided on that same principle, whether we choose to have faith or not... in that respect... It's when people are motivated by greed and the power that is felt by abusing others that that I tend to worry about that "mutual-ness". Obviously that tendency be used to misled quite a few people to either do terrible things to themselves or to others, which is the opposite of what I think you've expressed here... which is really the "point" of the OP. Anyway, I don't suggest you avoid SD or even this thread. I think just consider how you contribute on the thread topics, make sure it is worth your time and just stop worrying about the trolls... they will never go away so nor should we. Other people here do read your posts, even if they don't have your capability with words (which I think are clear and well-written)... so that's what more important I think. We don't all have to agree on every point and that is OK. Last edited by Maru; 09-08-2018 at 07:59 PM. |

The original linked article didn't seem to explain everything to me, so I did a web search...

Maru thanks for your kind words to me above and for those that gave their opinions back to me whether you agree or not what makes the world and being human interesting is that everyone on here will have their own opinion on a subject and have varying interests i think in some ways that can make a forum great. The problem is when it borders on arguments and having to defend beliefs noone needs to defend thier own opinion and thats simply why i retracted as i know what i know and feel what i feel and noone can change that and i dont wish to change someone elses opinion I could see where the topic was heading so i stopped and allowed the topic to get back to the point of the article
I think all of us can agree on the point that these people did not have an excuse what they did was wrong they didnt seek any form of help whereas yes i cant have a blood transfusion i would definitely try everything else available in my absolute power to have my life saved or those of my precious children who are the world to me

It does though, because what management does in any organisation doesn’t always filter down to the workers so you can’t say they are all the same

It wasn't just management though was it? Or was it all managers running the launderies or burying those babies in Tuam too?
