The local Body of Elders are also part of this slander having refused to comment to the public and imposing a judicial hearing which they failed to attend and thereby adding credibility to the idea that the charges were baseless.

The good thing is the truth will out. These liars talk too much and will be caught in the web of lies they have told. It is hard to keep all the strands apart when you have so many different ones. I guess the thing that makes me angriest in this is the way they treated Barbara and the Pandelos (sp?) they backed off of Bill until the heat goes down but they rushed the others through and if I understood things correctly rejected the first judgement on Barbara and had them redo it and convict her. All of this while claiming it was the "local" elders doing it. What a crock. Their consciences are all scar tissue by now I am sure, and was probably underdeveloped in the first place. Their arrogance and the arrogance of the Catholic priests as mentioned by Nanoprobe, is identical. I read that they referred to the abused people that came forth as "squealers" and that is probably the way the WT feels about people like Erica. The good thing is that most Witnesses now have access to the net and despite what they claim most visit apostate sites sometimes. Anytime you read at a witness site they frequently mention things said at sites like this. They are not stupid, just trying to be blind, and they can see despite that effort. With time, maybe even during "This Generation" they will fall back into the level of the snake handlers and such and then disappear. I hope I am still around so I can give a great "Yawp" of joy and go to the old WT buildings now being used for whatever and do the batdance on the doorsteps. Now that would be a pleasure.

It's one of their old tricks isn't it? DF (or announce a DA of) people and then make out that they have committed all sorts of 'sins' (no details of course) to blacken their character and discredit what they say, distracting attention from what are usually valid points of criticism.
Because of the shunning system most rank & file accept and assume that it is true, fill in the blanks in their mind and another problem for the WTS is put under the carpet with all the other stuff.
It's changing though.
The internet gives people a voice to tell the truth and answer back. People like Bill are standing up to the WT and calling them on their behaviour and they cannot handle it because, at the end of the day, if you make stuff up you don't have anything to back up your claims.
All together now ... "Oh the times they are-a-changin'"
