Question

ok my stepdad is a pedophile scumbag peice of trash and like many of them he's into religion , (not all relgious ppl are bad since i know even a few J/W's that are great ppl) but hes always got this cocky attitude about it , and he says things like he is closer to god then me , and like evrything that isnt written in the bible( ie . just about evrything he doesnt like to hear) is hogwash or heirsay. and corret me if im wrong but doesnt the bible say fear no man but god , well he thinks he is god or somthing he just a sick person who all his morals come from the bible and this kingdom palace or wherever they go to worship place so im wondering.. is this kind of attitude what most Jehovah witnesses have , or is it encouraged ? i dont know , could someone tell me , also , any advice or somthing to tell him to get his to wake up and smell himself , im sick of his sadistic ways at home and then the slick fake attitude he throws on while preaching and handing out those dam watchtowers

Answer 1

No, very few self-described Jehovah's Witnesses exhibit the kinds of qualities described in this question. Frankly, it seems impossible to imagine any congregation tolerating such loathsome behavior by one of its adherents.

Incidentally, the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses has no tolerance for pedophilia. The religion REQUIRES its elders to report abuse to secular authorities when the child victim has no family advocate. Even when the victim's family would prefer not to pursue secular prosecution, Jehovah's Witness elders MUST report the matter when the law requires; the family's preference is then irrelevant.

As a people, Jehovah's Witnesses are disgusted and repulsed by abuse, and are relieved when secular law enforcement officials successfully investigate, prosecute, and punish any criminal who engages in these terrible crimes.

Jehovah's Witnesses fully understand that their role as a religion is in providing comfort to the victim and her family, sharing relevant bible warnings with the congregation and specific potential victims, extolling Christian peaceableness and righteousness, and eventually perhaps in counseling a repentant sinner.

Government workers such as police and prosecutors are generally empowered to pursue criminal matters. Jehovah's Witnesses always work in obedience to secular law and deference to the personal decisions of victims (and their families, where practical). Jehovah's Witness ministers do not investigate criminal matters, leaving such matters to law enforcement authorities.

An unrepentant baptized Jehovah's Witness who is found guilty of a secular crime is likely to be disfellowshipped (or "excommunicated", although Witnesses do not use this latter term). However, a sin against God's supreme authority is clearly a different matter from a sin against secular superior authorities. The standards for criminal conviction and forced religious disassociation will never be identical.


While this questioner and question seem sincere, it is sad that others use such "questions" dishonestly to besmirch Jehovah's Witnesses. Interestingly, such "hatred" should be expected by true Christians in this time of the end, and it actually helps identify Jehovah's Witnesses as Christ's true disciples:

(John 15:19) If you were part of the world, the world would be fond of what is its own. Now because you are no part of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, on this account the world hates you.

(2 Timothy 4:3-5) For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching, but, in accord with their own desires, they will accumulate teachers for themselves to have their ears tickled; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, whereas they will be turned aside to false stories. You, though, keep your senses in all things, suffer evil, do the work of an evangelizer, fully accomplish your ministry.

Answer 2

You said "he still goes out door to door and handing out the Watchtower"? That is horrifying! Who will protect innocent people from this pedophile? He is going house to house to devour an innocent child of the pagans? That is surely not the way of YHWH. A disgrace to use a religion to get to the unknowing innocent people. This must definitely STOP. Listen to the other answerer and notify the police immediately!
1Corinthians 5:11; But now I am writing you that you must NOT associate with anyone who calls himself a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do NOT even eat.
It's your OWN BROTHER and NOT the other believer's!

Answer 3

He could be a Witness of Jehovah or ex-jw If he's a pedifiler he is most-likely NOT a JW. If he is a JW the elders may not know he is a pedifiler, so you might call your local Kingdom Hall and ask to speak to the presiding overseer and tell him about his double life, because God says not to be leading a double life.

Answer 4

Is he still a witness? or studying with the witnesses? i've never heard of a witness acting this way. Is he disfellowshipped? He needs to talk with the elders in the congergation about anything he is going thru or someone needs to tell them about the way he is acting.

Answer 5

(((hugs)))

Obviously the JWs would never countenance behaviour such as that. If you're sick of his behaviour, report him to the police. When he is convicted, he will be thrown out of the church, and will be no more there to damage the faith of innocents such as yourself. Report him to the police. It is the right thing to do... His soul will be better off in jail, where he can take stock of his arrogant and devilish ways. If you need some more support, please feel free to email. xo
