Owing to the BBC news IRO Loughborough, I know of a JW couple that were horrified. They exclaimed things along the lines of, "How could they let this happen?" "That's terrible of the Elders in that congregation.
I guess they think it's just a one off. they have no idea about the 2 witness rule. And...they blamed the elders in Loughborough not the gluttonous weirdo perverts known as the governing body. They were incapable of levelling any blame at the organisation. (No surprise...that's mind control for ya).
Sadly, I cannot educate them as it's a non JW family member that I know. I DID however, make it obvious that the 2 witness rule exists.
And in other Aposta-news:
A local congregation announced they need more money as they are not meeting their monthly pledge. I can't tell you how good that feels. I bet the bully of a CO has been terrorising them.
So. Only phyric victories but death by 1000 cuts is better than the WBT$ satyin' alive...ooo ooo ooo ooo stayin' alive!
