    Undercover:

    Were they DFd for going to the police? Or was there some other trumped up charge they got on them so they could shut them up in the congregation?

    They were df'd about 3 weeks after the father's arrest, and no reason was given from
    the platform, just an announcement that they were no longer a jw, but the gossip mill
    suggested they were apostates as they had done something contrary to the society's
    teachings, when all they had done was to try and protect themselves. The oldest
    daughter was 18 by then, and daddy was less interested in her than in her two youngest
    sisters, then 11 and 8. I am still in touch with her, she lives near us, and she was trying
    to protect her younger sisters more than herself, as was her mum.

    It's obvious that they were df'd to stop other jws asking them about what had happened,
    and sad to say, the elders ploy worked, though not all the congregation accepted the
    elders reason, and some have left the org since then.

    Anybody that accuses a child of 5 or 8 of being promiscuous and tempting an adult to committ these crimes should be fucking punched in the face

    I totally agree. This was apparently hinted at from the platform by the po after the father was
    convicted and sentenced. Some of the congregation actually believed it, though anyone who
    did needs a lobotomy IMHO. I'm not violent, but if any of those ba**ards ever told me those
    kids had been promiscuous, he'd be eating through a straw for a while.

    I hope this is just the beginning of many more lawsuits that will cripple the WTS. I hope I live long enough the see its downfall.

    Just added a comment to the Brooklyn article thread. Interesting to see how the Jws' contributions are all about denial, defending, excusing, or passing blame. Where is the OUTRAGE at their AUTHORITIES?! Where is the EMPATHY for the victims? Demand for reform? Apology? Seems like the personalities of the creeps in the upper levels work their way down to the rank and file. Turned my stomach. flipper

    I've been waiting and waiting and reading all I can find on many boards with JWS...just hoping and praying for ONE post that says.."I'm a witness, and I am sick about this. I am going to call the WTS TODAY, and then I'm going to talk to the overseer about this. My GOD! All the papers can't be lying. I'm SO happy this is out in the open!!!" Alas....this is not the case. WTF is wrong with them????

    These Catholics can protest and NOT be kicked out the BIG difference between the Catholic church (SNAP) and the Watchtower cult
