Watchtower found guilty ruled to pay 7 million to 1 victim? wow (page 27)

This is the old post I was talking about (and, don't you love that Memorial tract about False Religion)! I think that it was shortly after these rulings that the Watchtower settled the class action cases out of court.

On the Canadian news tonight it was announced that the Boy Scouts must make public their list of suspected child molesters.

I wonder if the same thing would ever happen to the WTBTS one day.

I quote from the Watchtower; "Even churches that condemn immorality have tolerated religious leaders who have sexually abused children . . . . . Do you know of religions hta tcondone immoral sex?"

You bettya I do!

Good for the Canadian Government on the Boy Scouts! It will be interesting to see that large list.

Better quote it now before they 'edit' it.....

The news has to get a copy of that tract!

If this news makes it into the media, the blinded dubs may try to ignore the reality. However, it will make the door-to-door work impossible. Could you imagine a cargroup trying to work a territory where householders are aware of this scandal? Any new members they can recruit would come from the least informed members of society... but probably more criminals might join.

Holy crap!!! A friend from Alamaba just called me to tell me about this. WOW! It is about time. I too have been molested by my biological father who is still in good standing. I was told to not say one word about it from my Mother. I know of a young sister (age 16) who was raped and got pregnant by her bio father. He is now in good standing. She on the other hand is a complete mess. How in the hell can the WTBTS allow these monsters to go untouched. Going in Field Service. Would you want such a sick o come to your door and have your 9 year old answer the door? Would you want your child in the same car group or a bible study. This organization has no conscience, no morals, no regard for anyone or anything except their image and MONEY!!! Hope this bankrupts the bastards

Oh Billy you're giving me goosebumps! :D And it's not because of the usual monkey B.S. ;P

Just a suggestion on Twitter. How many people associate Watchtower with Jehovahs Witnesses? I think JehovahsWitnesses is more recognizable. Thats just my opinion....and as far as Trending, it takes allot of work from allot of people to get something to trend. If you want to do it, you need to have it organized and block out a specified time slot to do it in...like a two hour window and have everyone ready to blast Twitter at the same time. I have worked on allot of twitter campaigns and this is kind of how they do it. You might want to start a FB page to organize the Twitter campaign. Do it when you think it will make the biggest impact. What country is your main target as well. Just a suggestion.
