if recovery is REALLY interested in defending "the truth" and wants to debunk the accusations, then my suggestion is to explain my questions because lurkers are going to see this:
Irwin Zalkin Court Documents (look in file 2a for the statement of undisputed material facts)
they'll read the documents in file 2a which were prepared by the watchtower bible and tract society themselves and they will seethese undisputed facts and this undisputed timeline of events:
starting from page 2...
- they don't deny the elders are revered in the congregation - meaning they take leadership and are trusted (2)
- don't deny elders and ministerial servants are vetted before becoming one - uh ohhhh (3)
- they don't deny elders are agents of the watchtower - so if an elder rapes a child...and the elder is an agent of the watchtower...(5)
- they don't deny there is an elder book that tells them how to handle sexual abuse - so it's by wt instructions how to handle matters (6)
- they don't deny you mst be approved for field service - vetting? we are talking about approaching homes with children...(11)

- 1994 - elders say that if she pursues the matter a previous affair she engaged in would be disclosed to the congregation, also said that too many years had passed and there was nothing they could do (63)
this calls into question how jehovah's spirit directed organization could possibly allow campos who was already accused of child molesting TO THE BODY OF ELDERS, to be promoted ministerial servant and later elder. all the while he was continuously molesting children in the flock that he was supposed to sheppard
whose spirit is really directing the organiztion?
