$$$It is extremely unusual for someone to refer to themselves in the third person. Usually it indicates either arrogance to the extreme, or a multiple personality disorder.
So, why do you do this? or maybe I should say - why does non do this?$$$
Non does this in pseudo-imitation of Bill Reilly. See Reilly's show and you will know what non is talking about. Another reason non uses third person when writing is for purposes of self-effacement and to annihilate the human ego that normally motivates most mortals who are enslaved to the flesh.
$$$Non is Dunscott.$$$
Non is non.
$$$While I agree with you, your thoughts don't change the fact that the WTS has a unique policy on dealing with this subject that makes them a "pedophile paradise". Would you willingly take your kids to a babysitter known to molest children? If you knew of a pedophile in your cong, would you leave your child with him/her?$$$
Non would not say that past policies of letting the elders handle matters turns jw into pedo paradise. Who in there right mind would take children to a known molester?
$$$Lets say there are six girls in the cong that accuse one man of molestation. There are not two witnesses to the crime, so nothing is done about it, in fact, the girls are warned to not say anymore about the matter and are told not to go to the police under threat of disfellowshipping. Would you entrust the care of your child to this man?$$$
The two witness rule is often misunderstood. Someone has already cleared up that fallacy on this very board. If elders have inadverently covered up wrong in congregation, God will adjust such a man and he will pay for his mistakes through Caesar. If elders have wittingly covered up wrongdoing like this, they will pay to both God and the state.
$$$What is your problem with hyperbole?$$$
No problem with hyperbole.
$$$Society in general is intolerant of child abuse. If "the society", aka the borg, has been more tolerant than society-in-general, and has revictimised the victims, for a long period of time, then the organization is due to be called a pedophile's paradise.$$$
The society has not been "more tolerant" of pedos than society at large. That is not true. You are failing to see why the elders in the past did not report molestation. It was not because they were trying to hide anything. Sometimes religion and the state come into genuine conflict. Religion tries to help people spiritually. True religion tries to obey God rather than man. Sometimes true religion may make mistakes when endeavoring to do what it thinks is the right thing because of inherited sin. But changes come in time in true religion. Decent people do not have tough time understanding this matter.
$$$Non uses the third person to distance him/herself from the argument he/she is putting forth. They can hardly tolerate the argument themselves and find it so repugnant that they employ the third person as a means of removing themselves emotionally from the subject matter.$$$
Non hopes you are not a psychologist or something. If so, you need new job. Your analysis is way off the mark.
