>>I have no illusions about this program bringing down the JW religion. That is not the objective. But to bring in a sense of responsibility and force the JWs to change their behavior toward victims and pedophiles.<<
One of my MANY character flaws (especially where the high-and-mighty Watchtower Society is concerned), is the almost euphoric and extremely gleeful anticipation of living long enough to SEE this skillfully contrived sham of a religion go down in the tallest (I wanna SEE'em from HERE) and the most disintegrating flames possible!!!
As hateful as it sounds, it IS my objective!
When I see a post like Amazing's, I look (fleetingly---but I look) introspectively and wonder if I'M wrong in MY feelings of loathing and disgust, or maybe, the INTENSITY of my feelings is wrong or unhealthy. I really almost admire people who are so...mmmmm....I wanna say "Christian", but that isn't quite the term I'm looking for; but I WANT to see this horrible excuse for a religion fall apart at the seams---the sooner-the better!
Maybe some of us who have kids and grandkids and important friendships affected by this religion, might have a CHANCE at reconciliation without the WTS interference. If IT'S gone, the INFLUENCE will be gone, and nice people can begin to pick up the pieces of their lives and heal together.
Somehow, Amazing, I just don't "see" how the "we're never wrong" Watchtower Society would ever begin to see the error of their ways (in ANY sense, let alone changing their behavior in properly (legally)dealing with molesters and pedophiles) They'll just cry "persecution" and how "Satan" is causing all this turmoil, and never look at the ROOT cause or their "justified" treatment of their sheep.
I'm not trying to pounce on you, Amazing, or say how your thoughts are wrong........I'm just presenting MY view......Annie
Shredded families and ruined lives;
The WBTS has MUCH to answer for......
