  As of late, it appears that the Watchtower Corporation has been trying to walk the "straight and narrow" (so to speak) as there really hasn't been too many newsworthy scandals or coverups in the last few years (other than their usual doctrinal flip-flops, Steven Unthank, Conti, and a few others)...

  Also, they've done a lot of damage control in the last few years by spinning the events of 1914-1919, using the library card excuse, dishing out tons of "hush money" to the parents of child molestation victims, etc..

  With their ongoing scheme to bury their dark past, it appears that they may actually emerge smelling like roses once again.

  So I ask: Will the subsection "Scandals & Coverups" dissapear from JWN soon?

  What say you?

  No there are more cover ups to come. The "overlapping" generationsstirred things up with a lot of long time JW's. They may have to revisit that with a WT article; "Overcoming the Overlapping Generations Over Time!"

  The response to such an atricle could be Overwhelming to the Over all brotherhood. Overand out!

  Well, even if the organization manages to achieve total upfront transparency from henceforth, why should the scandals and coverups subsection disappear?

  Even a reformed criminal with a long string of serious convictions cannot "pretty please" away his or her record because they've become "all nice and honest".

  I think too much of myself to be taken in ever again by "nice and honest people". I insist on knowing where they've been and what they've done in the past before I commit my trust to them. That needs to be even truer of religious organizations who spin touching stories the way spiders speedily spin webs to catch hapless insects.

  No sir: a religion that has blatantly and repeatedly asserted it is the sole channel of truth of "The One True God, Jehovah" remains as accountable for its past as it is for its present behavior - and given its hubristic claims, and shocking disregard for human rights, it needs to remain even more accountable.

  Let the record of the Watchtower's shocking history of scandals and coverups remain for all to see regardless of their putative recent transparency. Buyer beware!
