Hi Truthexhodus: You are welcome. I was wondering how this would turn out. The organization book even requires that the accused be told of the allegations, and even upon being DF'd, the Elders are supposed to ask you if you wish to appeal and tell you why they took the action that they did. But, having served as PO, you are well aware of this. The problem is that when it comes to allegations of apostasy, the WTS and Elders don't often follow their own procedure. Welcome to freedom, as Dr. Martin Luther King once said, "Free at last, free at last. Thank God Almighty, we are free at last."
Thank you for speaking to Dateline about the pedophile issue. If the Elders try to DF you, you may be able to tell them you are going public, and any action taken against you will result in a civil suit against them and the Watch Tower Society. This may make these men back off. Whatever you do, your speaking out about this issue is worth so very much to so many, and again, in the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."
But, because good people like you are speaking out, then I can also add, that: Our lives take on greater meaning the day we speak out about the things that matter." - Amazing
