Did anyone watch Dateline last night? It seems that Catholic priests aren't the only ones who like little kids. Surprise, surprise! They had a full half-hour feature on what has been going on amongst the Jehovah's Witnesses. The feature started out with a little background on what their "religion" requires and believes. I about shit my pants. Now I know why I've been taught to make shit out of them.
Apparently, they aren't allowed to celebrate their birthdays or Christmas (I knew about Christmas), I think it said something about not befriending those who are not Witnesses, there was something about everything outside of the Witnesses is "evil", ok so I'm laughing my ass off about all this shit, but then came the kicker: they are not allowed to salute the flag. That REALLY pissed me off. Millions of people have died so those fuckers can run their stupid ass cult and knock on my door nightly, yet these "Godly" people can't pay their respects.
Enough about that. The special went on to talk about various cases of molestation amongst witnesses. Holy fuck! They are so secretive about this shit it's unbelievable. Basically, whenever some problem occurs within the people they are supposed to report to the "elders" who will supposedly take care of it. So this family reports the molestation to the elders, the elders tell them do NOT report this to the police. If the incident is reported, the family will basically be kicked out. You have to remember, all of their friends and family are Witnesses. If they get kicked out, they'll have nothing.
The elders go on to investigate the situation, which basically consists of asking the offender "did you molest little Susie". Of course, the offender will say no. The elder says "ok, sorry to bother you", and the investigation is over! What a crock of shit!
So the family goes on to report this to the police. When the court date comes, the defendants side of the room is full of other Witnesses, including the "friends and family" of the family pressing charges. The families side had nobody!
In the end, the guy got 11 years in prison. The family is still not allowed back into the Hall.
Remember this shit next time one of those cult members knocks at your door. I sure as hell know I will.
