Your comment just burned an impression in my screen. Or is that my retinas. Either way, I see nothing but red. Oh the pain!!!
While we cannot presently confirm details about this rumor, do some of you actually think such slimy conduct deep within the organization is unlikely?
Really?
Are you kidding me? WuzLuvsDubs has it exactly right. The Watchtower and its minions freely suborn perjury, lie in court, protect child molesters, attempt manslaughter and generally are capable of anything unethical as long as the GB says it's OK with Jehovah.
Is this guy writing a book? Bring it on! Have Amazon save me a copy. This sort of event is a wonderful change: it used to be that only a few renegades had the courage to leave and oppose the Watchtower - like Ray Franz or Olin Moyle. Now, they have defectors poping up all over the place!
This also puts the Watchtower in a very disadvantaged position as a long term Bethelite admitted to me. They know that they are being watched by opposers who will seize on any mistake to create trouble for them. How sad! They LOVE to make enemies and feel gloriously persecuted. Too bad their coldheartedness is causing them to reap bitter consequences.

Here is Jamie's post in a legible color. Enough already LOL!
I have read enough of this type of quote from you that I'm very angry. Angel Eyes, answer this for me. Why did the governing body fail to protect me from an abusive jw husband? Why did they allow him to beat, kick and choke me for almost seven years? Why was it that "worldly" people had to come to my defense and save me from a dangerously mentally ill man? The elders knew what he was doing. He confessed several times but would cry, repent and continue to threaten and terrorize me. Tell me, why did the gb allow me to lose my family, friends, home and most material possessions simply because I couldn't stand being married to this man? Why did the gb instruct the elders to tell me that I would be df'd for refusing to stalk this lunatic long enough to prove adultery on his part? Why are there thousands of women who have reported the same thing?
And while you're at it, why not explain to me why the gb covered up for pedophiles for at least 40 years, allowing them to victimize children in new congregations? Why did the darling of the gb, Ted Jaracz, send CO's out to threaten the victims of child molestation with df'ing if they dared come forward about the crimes that were perpratrated on them?
Take some time and catch your breath and then explain to me why it was that until 1974 jws didn't have "scriptural" grounds for divorce if their spouses had a homosexual affair or performed sex acts with animals?
Explain to me why the gb allowed jws in Malawi to be raped and slaughtered by ordering them not to buy a 25 cent political party card, but yet jws in Mexico were permitted to bribe military officials to keep jw youth from mandatory service?
I could go on all day about the attrocities committed by the gb regarding circumstances surrounding the blood and neutraility issues, but I'll stop here. What are the answers to the questions I've listed above?
Please, do tell.
I hope he tells his story and tells it well.
Throughout the history of the WTB&TS, prominent members have left the organization and decided to act like "gentlemen" by not revealing the nature of the evil that they experienced. If these people had been more vocal, the WTB&TS would not have attained the mass it has today.
I hope this "Mel Smith" grows a pair and decides that for the sake of REAL truth he should not be silent like the "Christian Gentlemen" whose cowardice allowed the WATCHTOWER to prosper.
Do you think Elizabeth Smart made stuff up about the alleged 'prophet' who kidnapped her? Do you think that everyone who is victimized by a group and later 'exposes' it is lying simply because they are no longer welcome among that group? Every whistleblower has their motivations questioned. JWs whistleblowers do not merely have theirs questioned, but they are flat out declared to be liars because they are no longer in the congregation. Must be lying, right?
Ever occur to you that where there is smoke there is usually fire? The WT looks like a giant 4th July smokebomb.
Thank god someone brought out some proper formatting.
I think the next time reinnuts comes to town I'll have to answer her in that font.
Nothing to add to the topic (as usual)...Thanks for the laugh.
BETHELITE ELDER- Thanks very much for posting this ! The WT society is all about " information control" among other sordid endeavors - so thanks to you for revealing what's happening with Mel.
My comments will embellish a bit what DISSED is saying. My wife and I both went and viewed Mel's twitter . As DISSED said Mel is excited about his book deal, and said he will keep people informed along the way. I feel Mel is being careful here not to expose his trump card and reveal too much on the internet or twitter as he knows WT society is monitoring it. So legally- it's a smart move on his part. If he has the " real deal " here - this type of action on his part would only add legitimacy to what he is up to . Think about it. BETHELITE ELDER said this guy is smart and sharp.
So far after reading all the posts carefully up until now - I'm thinking Mel is sharp as well. Tell me BETHELITE ELDER - am I on the right track here ? Or am I blowing smoke ? Just give me a sign. Remember I used to be a JW too ! Once again thanks for posting- and tell Mel- we wish him success . Tell him that a hell of a lot rides on this if he's the real deal
Well, that Ywitter didn't say anything about the WB&TS,
Thanks, Jimmy Page for reposting my comment.
JAMIE- Perhaps this guy is just being careful and smart- keeping it close to the vest until the time comes to go more public about the details of what he's really up to. That would make sense to me
