   Being a certified sexual abuse/rape counselor to children with a Master's   
   Degree I want to refute your claims that Jehovah Witness children are the   
   brightest and best children in school because they come from the best   
   families.  That is just a Blatant lie.  In my years of experience every   
   Jehovah witness child I have encountered has suffered from years of physical   
   abuse, neglect, sexual abuse, as well as mental abuse.  They are brainwashed   
   into bleieving that they are the ones to blame for their parants pedastry,   
   abuse and neglect.  They have all suffered chronic abuse and have varying   
   degrees of disassociative disorder.  SO I would hardly call them being from   
   model families.

   Of course you agree with them since you believe as they do.  This does not   
   mean that it is correct.  Pedophiles defend each others actions, yet that   
   does not make sexually molesting a boy any more acceptable. does it.  I   
   didnt think so.
