Girl raped by her Jehovah's Witness father for 12 years speaks up

[Jack Ryan]

Eveline was 6-7 years old when her father first touched her in a way he should never did. This continued all the way until she was an adult, while her father still was a Jehovah's Witness in a good standing, preaching the Bible door to door. She lived in a constant fear for her mother, who he abused mentally and threatened Eveline he would continue doing so if she is not submissive.

When Eveline learned she is not the only victim of pedophiles in Jehovah's Witnesses congregations, she decided to speak up. She told everything to "elders" of her congregation and to her mother. Unfortunately, her mother and siblings not only didn't believed her, they actually started shunning her because she spoke out against the organization.

Her father will now testify in the court, but he still is a Jehovah's Witness and still preaches door to door about God, love and the Bible.

 This is just another classic case of misplaced blame. i.e.. hold the the whole organization responsible, not just the individual (the perpetrator)
