No doubt many 'loyal' Witnesses view publicity about molestation
and the U.N. with horror.
In reality,such scandals may become a blessing to all.
A widespread exposure of the Watchtower Society could bring about
many good changes. Such as:
1) exposure and neutralization of negative, dictatorial leadership
within the WTS. Stiff necked old Pharisees may find themselves
named and blamed - leading to their removal.
2) effective scandals could force improvement in the Society's
attitude towards young people - impelling them to do more than
just insist on their baptism - followed frequently by 'writing
them off' thru disfellowshipping a few years later. Maybe
the molestation provokes a counter-reaction to actually do
more than wave a disapproving finger at 'those kids'.
3) the meetings (boring and pointless) and the field ministry
(mostly dead and imaginary) could be improved out of necessity,
as people need new reasons to support a religion condemned for
harboring child molesters.
4) the cult-like grip of Watchtower authority could loosen up,
leading to personal re-examination of issues like blood or voting.
5) less money might trickle into the Watchtowers treasury -
especially from wills or grants. Nothing talks like money to
Theocratic leaders - they might have to seek better public
popularity or go broke.
6) angry mobs, wielding torches and pitchforks, might storm their
headquarters and drag Governing Body members to makeshift gallows.
Thereafter, Watchtower Farms land would be sown with salt and
their name transformed eternally into a blackened curse....
oops sorry, I got carried away - that last one isn't very likely
but the others might work out for the best
