Deze week kwam er een misbruikschandaal in het nieuws bij de Jehova’s getuigen na onderzoek van de Universiteit Utrecht. In deze podcast bespreken we hoe NU.nl in contact kwam met een slachtoffer die haar verhaal kwijt wilde. Ze wilde dat alleen doen als ze niet onder haar eigen naam werd genoemd. Wat is de kracht van anonimiteit? En hoe zorg je er als nieuwssite voor dat je niet in de maling wordt genomen?
We praten erover met redacteur Tom van Marrewijk.

This is a final recap of this journey and my cousin who was missing. My efforts paid off and I finally found her alive, safe but in hiding. My uncle disowns me though I leave the door open for his repentance.
I discuss the Jehovah's Witness policies that are harmful to millions of families around the world. Fortunately, for those truly awake we can see their darkened veil of deception and control collapsing. Through the many international court cases like the Australian Royal Commission into institutional responses to Child sexual abuse: Full Report into the Jehovah's Witness released.
Summerized: The Royal Commission found children are not adequately protected from the risk of child sexual abuse in the Jehovah’s Witness organisation and does not believe the organisation responds adequately to allegations of child sexual abuse.
From the evidence presented, the Royal Commission considers the Jehovah’s Witness organisation relies on outdated policies and practices to respond to allegations of child sexual abuse which were not subject to ongoing and continuous review. Included in these was the organisation’s retention and continued application of policies such as the two-witness rule in cases of child sexual abuse which, the Royal Commission considered, showed a serious lack of understanding of the nature of child sexual abuse. It noted the rule, which the Jehovah’s Witness organisation relies on, and applies inflexibly even in the context of child sexual abuse, was devised more than 2,000 years ago.
The Royal Commission found the Jehovah’s Witness organisation’s internal disciplinary system for addressing complaints of child sexual abuse was not child or survivor focused. Survivors are offered little or no choice in how their complaint is addressed, sanctions are weak with little regard to the risk of the perpetrator re-offending.
Finally, the Royal Commission considered the organisation’s general practice of not reporting serious instances of child sexual abuse to policy or authorities, demonstrated a serious failure on its part to provide for the safety and protection of children.
As I reflect back on the previous month of this Podcast. I realize not only was it an unleashing of my burden of truth. But it's been a journey toward a new beginning. Again I want to thank everyone for listening if you have made it this far I commend you. I know it's not an easy listen. If you are normal and have a heart this podcast will take you through a series of emotions. This was a very difficult learning curve for me and I am in essence putting in a lot of time and effort into revealing this truth at potential risk to my safety by exposing this organization.
As I look ahead to Season 2. I see a new life and chapter ahead for me in real time. I'll be sure to intermix that with my life story to keep you all on your toes. And allow you all to get to know me better. Which if you can imagine my perspective and how I was raised it was never easy for me to do. That's clearly changed in me.

Join us now for today's Mormon Stories Podcast episode as we interview ex-Jehovah's Witness Amber Scorah about her new book: "Leaving the Witness: Exiting Religion and Finding a Life." Building off of our previous interview with former Jehovah's Witness, Lloyd Evans, we continue to discover the parallels between the JW Movement and Mormonism, particularly surrounding the struggle to form a new identity after leaving the religion. In this interview Amber shares her experience leaving her religion. From the book's abstract:
"Amber's loss of faith culminated in her own personal apocalypse, the only kind of ending possible for a Jehovah's Witness.
Shunned by family and friends as an apostate, Amber was alone in Shanghai and thrown into a world she had only known from the periphery--with no education or support system. A coming of age story of a woman already in her thirties, this unforgettable memoir examines what it's like to start one's life over again with an entirely new identity. It follows Scorah to New York City, where a personal tragedy forces her to look for new ways to find meaning in the absence of religion. With compelling, spare prose, Leaving the Witness traces the bittersweet process of starting over, when everything one's life was built around is gone."

In this month's Truth That Transforms Podcast I will be interviewing Seth Richardson. Seth grew up in the Watchtower and eventually got out of this cult in an unlikely way. The second part of the show I bring Bryan Braddy on- one of our leaders- to discuss, along with Seth and I, how to witness to Jehovah's Witnesses when they come knocking. The last part of the show we discuss what verses they may use when they knock on your door. Hope you enjoy Podcast enough to share it.

I am Patti Brunner and on this episode of Truth of the Spirit I will give you some Basics on Using the Catechism of the Catholic Church. For first time users and beginners it can be a bit confusing. But I assure you after you listen or watch this podcast you’ll be finding nuggets of treasure of the Christian teaching handed down in the Catholic Church in no time! Many Catholics of a certain age grew up with a Baltimore Catechism. This was a “Go To” book for Americans. However, in 1992 a universal catechism was published to be used internationally. A monumental undertaking it is a promulgation of teachings that includes documents of ancient times through modern times. I believe the inspiration of the Holy Spirit helped extract nuggets of truth to share with us in a manageable format of a single volume! I’ll help you explore various ways to find specific teachings and help in using the resource information that you may not even know is included! I have taught these basics to RCIA students who were brand new to the Church and to others who were searching to deepen their faith.
