    The Concentration Camps

    Often times, when the statement "Crimes against Humanity" is either
    written or spoken, powerful mental images of individuals being abused
    tortured or murdered are imagined.

    However, this discussion is not about physical abuse or torture as so
    often is depicted by grainy black and white reels of film shown as doc-
    umentary programs after the course of the second world war.

    Crisis of Conscience

    Having read Crisis of Conscience by Raymond Franz, a book that
    not only raises eyebrows but questions as well, the reader is left
    wondering whether or not the Watchtower Society is guilty of
    "Crimes against Humanity" in an emotional or spiritual sense?

    Considering all the years of cover ups, scandals, child molestation issues
    and the total brainwashing dictation an individual undergoes while associate-
    ed with the organization, it leaves one to ponder whether or not it carries
    a similar responsibility toward humanity as did Hitler's Third Reich?

    ...Thoughts to consider.

    Respectfully,

    The Wanderer

    TW;

    One big difference is that JW's voluntarily submit to WT indignities. Like they say here on the board, "If you don't like the rules, then don't come back (or don't sign up)!" Only JW's and Ex JW's understand that you only REALLY start to get the rules AFTER you join when it's too late.

    Jw's will use the excuse, "I'm just following (orders) the FDS' direction" in the same manner that Nazi's wouldn't take responsibility for their actions
