Interesting point Ianao. (have missed chatting with you).
I've stayed away from most of the posts regarding the child abuse issue (With the exception of Mario Kempes; where I stated I believed him to be a fraud). It has not affected me or my family so I don't really feel free to comment on it.
However, I am aware that there are many on this board who have been through this travesty of justice, and to those people, Maximus represents what the WBTS should have been doing all along.
No, I don't know Maximus' real identity. Nor do I need to. He is like a whistleblower who needs to protect his identity until he can no longer do so.
Those of you who feel like you're out of the 'clique'--realize every organization has some form of hierarchal structure.
The Ex-JW internet is just such a place. There are some old hands. Kent, JanG, JanH, Norm, and anyone else I've forgotten. These are soldiers who have been battling since the early days of the net. Do Four-Star Generals allow Privates into their confidence? Does Colin Powell hang around with a USMC recruit? Just because they may work for the same goal, is that all that's required to be let into someone's confidence?
Not immediately, and not without a lot of hard work.
Max, for those that need you, I hope your light will be such that you can't take leaving it under a basket.
