    The Tablet is a clergy newspaper that is read by a lot of high up people in both main churches in Britian.

    Congratulations Steve. His article is front and centre.

    I hear a big "OUCH" coming from Brooklyn Heights.

    What a great article. It covered so much, the UN scandal, shunning, child abuse.

    Thanks to Steve Bates for a well written article.

    Here is a direct link to the article (I think it will work).

    Excellent article - will this also be published anywhere an "average" person (perhaps a JW) can read it (i.e. in the Guardian)?

    Beiing in this forum will not give much coverage to average people I suspect - especially JW's who won't read this type of "apostate" material. But, a regular newspaper - this article would slam it home!

    Very fine!

    That's a well written article I hope it gets read by many.
    I was happy to see that he made mention of the Witness' reaction to facts that don't put the WT in a good light. I think evrybody's efforts to expose the WT is chiping away little by little at the hold they have.
    One of these days I'm sure they(WT) will have to change, or else lose most of it's members.

    If someone lived a trillion X longer than you, and had a billion X more reasoning ability would he come to the same conclusions as you?
