    Loyal JW's look for flaws in EVERYTHING!

    Except their own religious doctrine and literature.

    Double-standard dont you think?

    Yes, Big Ericas father was wearing a ponytail. BUt what does that have to do whith the price of tea in China?

    It seems the witness are missing the point and trying to point to anything that may undermine the serious nature of what happened to Erica and her family.

    When the pain of being where we are, becomes greater than our fear of letting go...we will risk and heal and grow.

    My father, the PO of a West Coast metropolitan area congregation, said that the elders in Othello handled this case improperly. LOL Then he said that the elders have received correspondence from Brooklyn that has put them under some pressure: "they are in the hot seat" and that the elders are "damned if they do and damned if they don't." My sister wouldn't talk about it at all. BTW, none of my JW extended family has viewed the Dateline program yet. Think my father taped it but hasn't had time to view. Told him he will hear lies about Bill and silentlambs. Don't know if he will believe what we told him as opposed to the urban legends in the making.

    I realize that the fact that this has no relevence to the issue. I pointed this out to the host of this room and got promptly booted.

    This is sad since the JW's claim to love truth so much.

    And thank God I lost my religion.

    : I thought it was supposed to be Erica?

    : To be honest, I haven't noticed it even though I've watched it again since ... maybe I was concentrating too much on what was said which is what JWs should do instead of looking for poor excuses to dismiss it.

    Talk about gnat straining and camel gulping! The idiocy of dubs never ceases to amaze me.

    Rational Human: "A little girl was raped all those years and her own religion not only failed to protect her, but protected her rapist."

    braindead dub: "Yeah, but she now wears a cross, so it must have been her fault all along."

    It's amazing Erica has any faith in God at all since she was abused first by Belize and then continues to be abused by the WT, who claims to represent the true God. They should be looking at the cross and thinking about the millstone around their own necks for stumbling Erica!

    Comments I have read that "prove" this story on Dateline was totally fabricated were:

    1. Barbara Anderson said that she was doing research at Bethel, and everyone knows that sisters are NEVER trusted with confidential information--therefore, the Dateline story is bogus.

    2. Erica said "Thank God, thank the Lord", rather than "Thank Jehovah"--therefore, the Dateline story is bogus.

    3. Erica's father now has a ponytail--therefore, the Dateline story is bogus.

    Here is a rather lame one that I've heard:

    The story aired on a worldly program (satan's domain). Therefore, the story is bogus.

    Local elder here in Mass said " Barbara probably broke into the office without authorization"...and people actually believe him !
