According to Radio 4 is a Devout JW

Yes they've just said that on BBC 6 pm news too!

A married man suspected of being Britain's most prolific sex attacker was being held by police last night.

Father-of-seven Delroy Grant, the alleged 'Night Stalker', was arrested early yesterday following a surveillance operation.

The 52-year-old is a full-time carer for his wife, who has multiple sclerosis and has been confined to a wheelchair for the past five years.

He was being questioned about 200 rapes, sex attacks and burglaries in South London since 1990.

Almost all of the victims were elderly women.

Neighbours said his wife Jennifer was a Jehovah's Witness who goes from house to house with her husband to attract more followers. It was not clear whether he is also a Jehovah's Witness.

He is a Jehovah's Witness in the Forest Hill Congregation.

I have this on 1st hand authority.

It all seems to be based on neighbours comments at the moment..some news sources on google say that his IS, others say that his wife IS.

If he took her out in service, that would be a definite...

This case seems too serious for sarcasm or black humour

I agree with you Blues. He has acted in a dispicable way.

OK just to put this to bed - I have it FIRST HAND from a JW that knows him and is in the same congregation that Delroy Grant is a baptized Jehovah's Witness in the London Forest Hill Congregation.

He is a Jehovah's Witness. End of.

What are you implying Besty?

It just makes me shake my head when I think of all the decent Jehovah's Witnesses that are allowed by their conscience Governing Body to talk to this man and treat him as a brother, and yet my own family are forbidden to talk to me for the rest of our natural lives because I dispute the fact that Jerusalem was destroyed in 607BCE.

As I said on the other thread, we may have to wait for confirmation that he IS an active, baptised ,Witness.

His wife has MS so he may have taken her in service, doesn't prove a thing.

Besty's first hand stuff sounds O.K,

if so then Dubs need to ask themselves why their Almighty, loving, Jehovah , who appoints men in the Congregation and sends Noo-Lite to Brooklyn, did NOTHING while this sick monster worked his evil.

Surely the big J could have alerted somebody, or better still had a huge rock fall on him.

we may have to wait for confirmation that he IS an active, baptised ,Witness.

You will wait a while for a Press Release from the Watchtower Society. Their silence on the matter, as usual, tells its own story. How much of a hurry would they be in to deny it if it wasn't true?

What confirmation do you need beyond someone I know that is in his congregation saying that he is a baptized JW?

His wife has MS so he may have taken her in service, doesn't prove a thing.

I think it proves plenty.  Even if Besty is mistaken, which I highly doubt, this guy probably found his victims through the door to door work.  Hopefully people will start writing to kingdom halls to be put on the do not call list.

I don't doubt Besty's source, I just meant that it will be a while before we can believe the Press and their take on it.

And I agree dear Jamie, if it has a negative effect on the door to door harassment it will be the only good to come out of this.

The public are not aware that the WT/JW's are very very lax about who goes in F.S, they (JW's),  always see it as a good thing, even for a paedophile, to be going door to door. I know some areas, and individual Congos. are on the ball, but too many are not.

Let us hope that the publicity is nothing but harmful to the WT, they deserve to be exposed.

Just so he wasn't caught masturbating!

It makes you wonder what God and His Holy Spirit have been doing for the last 20 years, maybe The Night Stalker cut the phoneline between God and the GB too.........

Raped twice at 88, the victim's story

Sick bastard.

It seems to be the fashion for infamous sex attackers to be JWs of late.

What confirmation do you need beyond someone I know that is in his congregation saying that he is a baptized JW?

Your word is good enough for me...

However, I can understand that some want verification from some kind of "official" source.  If one were to talk about this to JW family and friends and they said,  "I know for a fact that he's a JW" and was asked to prove it, saying, "Well, Besty told me so" isn't going to work.

This comment made me pause for a moment:

It just makes me shake my head when I think of all the decent Jehovah's Witnesses that are allowed by their conscience Governing Body to talk to this man and treat him as a brother, and yet my own family are forbidden to talk to me for the rest of our natural lives because I dispute the fact that Jerusalem was destroyed in 607BCE.

More evidence of what a cult the JWs/WT Society really is.  It's truly sad how people are manipulated.

No this Delroy, surely?

This newspaper says that the wife is a J W..He used to be also but , not lately..

"At the front of the house is a railway track. Across a footbridge, a few streets away, is a house where Mr Grant's wife, Jennifer, used to meet with fellow Jehovah's Witnesses. Women there said that Mrs Grant had been a member of the religion for about 20 years, before her illness.

They said that initially Mr Grant would only attend the house, or the nearby Kingdom Hall on David's Road, to drop off or collect his wife, but that he later became a Jehovah's Witness too.

However, his devotion was cut short by his wife's illness and he never went out knocking on doors with her. Because of her illness the pair stopped attending the Kingdom Hall and became "disassociated" – the term members of the religion use for Witnesses who have lapsed. Mrs Grant was later persuaded to return, but Mr Grant did not join her.

One fellow Jehovah's Witness, who knew the couple, said: "He got involved and came to a few meetings, but he was never very enthusiastic. She is a black lady and was very tall, slim and glamorous until her illness struck. After her illness she lost the use of her legs. She used to tell everyone 'look after your legs'."t the front of the house is a railway track.

I don't suppose they mean disassociated in the way that we know it.....I personally do not know anything about them. just noting what the papers say

this paper say he is a JW

as they write:

Senior officers at Scotland Yard want to know why the suspect wasn't stopped well before the number of alleged victims reached 200.

The internal probe was launched as the father of 11 children appeared at court yesterday charged with sex attacks on 11 elderly women.

Grant heard a clerk read out the 22 charges of rape, indecent assault and burglary. 

The twice-married Jehovah's Witness could face further charges.

Detectives have until Thursday to quiz him about 200 rapes, sexual assaults and burglaries across South London dating back to 1990.

can we trust JW in this case? have the Wathtower a damage control department, to avoid damage to them?

and who can we trust anyway?

and in all this we have to be fair about who is what and who is not.

we can't blame them for some one who is not a member of the congregation anymore.

but a good question, woulde be,

if he stoppet with being a JW. then how far back, did he do what?

and was he a JW, meanwhiel he was a rapist?

the case startet 1990 what is 18 years back, what is a long time ago.

so why did he stop being a JW?

was he disassociated, and have JW some knowlede, what coulde have stoppet him, manny years ago?

Theocratick warfare, the JW are marsters in it.

all those questions, all those lie.

some JW in Denmark lie so mush, what i think they are saving up to a paradise in hell.

maybe it is why i'm a bit paranoya about what JW say ;)

have it nice all, and thanks for the info BluesBrother
