I am excited. REALLY. Please remember that. But I want to ask a question, that just occurred to me. I do NOT want to be a party pooper, and for goodness sake, I haven't seen the piece yet. So... with that said,...
The Catholic Church, with it's first priest, being accused, was in the spotlight. (I know they are BIG). The spotlight is still on them. Everybody knows about Catholic priests.
After dateline, nothing. Denial's from the WT. , to the rank and file. Ask anyone, in the world, which churches have pedophiles? Catholics. No other answer.
I think I just figured out part of my answer. But, I will continue. Nobody thinks or cares about the JW's. How will this be different? I don't have the CD yet, but is this a smoking gun? And who is it aimed at? The JW's will deny, or say, a few bad apples. People of "the world" will not only think the JW's are weird, as they do now, but they molest and harbor child molesters.
The optimal scenario, would be for our families to realize that Jehovah's blessing is not with the JW's. But I don't see that happening. It will always be the "other" Kingdom Hall. They don't know that Brother Smith molested those kids, in their own congregation.
I understand, why the plaintiffs took the money and signed the agreement, not to disclose anything. I would probably do the same thing, if offered alot of money. Wanting them to PAY for what they have done to you, would be a mute point, when you were handed a check with lots of 0's. I just wish, that as a group, they hadn't taken the $$$. And had a long drawn out trial, that would give OJ a run for his money. Did they ever have a trial? Or was the money paid, before it even started?
OK, I am thinking out loud, and probably not making any sense. Hell, I don't even know, right now, what my question is, or was. LOL My glass is not always half empty. I just usually look for the person that is going to fill it up, because, I am too lazy to get it myself. So, maybe I am looking to Barbara, to see if she has what I like to drink, and if her pitcher is full.
I hope so. I really really hope so. I want something to happen, that will crack the shell and the hold that Brooklyn, New York has on our families.
