Hi there Oracle. Please quote whatever you find useful, although the information Barbara Anderson has put out is so much more comprehensive then this, and documents specific examples of what i wrote here.
I would wager that there are many ex elders here who read Barbara's latest commentary on these settlements and just shook their heads in recognition. All the dumb letters to the branch, all the dumb responses, all the well meaning elders who are WAY over their heads and totally confused as to what to do. And worst of all, to know of the evil, scheming pedophile we had to deal with, who takes advantage of a system for their own pleasure. Do these guys care about "Jehovah"? Doubtful to me.
I wrote this because sometimes I get the feeling whenever someone says "JW's protect pedophiles" to the public at large, their really isn't a frame of reference for most people to understand. I think very few knows what really happens and what the GB policy is and how utterly callous it is towards the victims. I see a need to explain it in a way for the public at large to understand this better.
But lets face it, the small leaks in this boat exploded thanks to Bill Bowen and Barbara Anderson. JW's will never be the same after having to deal with this. I am grateful to them for that.
