WILL THE WATCHTOWER EVER DO THE RIGHT THING AND APOLOGIZE?

Will this arrogant, presumptuous organization that has ruined so many lives, that loves to talk about humility and modesty, ever present a formal apology to all those who've suffered at their hands?

Would it really matter if they did?

I would love for this to happen...but alas...it is a mere fantasy.

That would be too much like admitting guilt on their part. And wouldn't that be like opening a can of worms regarding lawsuits???

Thanks for your honest replies bluebell and winnie!

I thought I was over the anger part of my exit from this mo$%er-fu*&ing cult, but an intense conversation with my brain-washed elder/pioneer father, who I love very much BTW, has stirred me up a little.

Hi nvr,

I think you put this topic in the wrong category - it would be more suited to
the jokes and humour section!

I personally believe that those at the top of the wtbts know, and have known for
years, that their supremely arrogant claim to be god's only channel of truth to be
the bs we know it really is. The periodical doctrinal shifts they have to make,
such as the generation change, which they put down to "new light", and which
they somehow persuade the majority of jws to accept, are forced on them in
order to protect them from the embarassment of having to explain yet another
failed prophecy.

I also believe that they have learned the lessons of history, in particular of the
worldwide church of god. After the death of it's founder, Herbert Armstrong, that
cult radically changed many of it's doctrines, became more mainstream, and
lost many of it's members as a consequence. If the governing body did that, the
consequences would likely be the same, so I don't really see them ever coming
clean about any of the obviously-false doctrines they have promulgated.

I guess they are so used to lying now, and getting away with their lies, that it's
become a habit, maybe even an addiction for them. They probably couldn't tell
the truth even if they wanted to.

I like to think this too...but somehow I don't think anyone really gets over the anger.

Mine gets stirred up when I get sucked into conversations with JWs who still speak to me. Especially when the say things to 'wind me up' knowing full well what my response will be.

And I've been 'out' for nearly 10 years.

Thanks winnie! Yes, I'm fine when I'm in my own head. All is love and peace,etc. But the conversations with the JWs are what stirs the pot. Maybe I'll do them and myself a favor and get to work on my Letter of Disassociation.

Hi Nvr,

During my long exit from the Borg, I came across an apology that was written by Joseph Tkach Jr, who was then president of the Worldwide Church of God. The WWCOG had through its transformation from being a lot like the Watchtower to being a more mainline church. When I first read Tkach's apology, I wept, hoping against hope that I would see something like this from the Watchtower. As I researched the matter of the Watchtower's "apology" for the 1975 debacle, I realized that I would not likely see a real, heartfelt apology from the WT for anything. See my article "Apologies and Excuses" on my site at www.docbob.org.

Tkach's apology is at http://www.wcg.org/lit/AboutUs/media/forgive.htm

No they will not apologise. They are like an abusive spouse that blames the abuse on the abused. Even if they ack the wrong it is no apology because they still blame the flock.

I dont need or want an apology. I need no ones validation.
