  Good hard facts and numbers to drive home the reality of the WT'S position on this issue.

  Something for all JW's to start pondering.

  I am SO glad this made a major newspaper! This religion needs to be seriously exposed!

  Too bad that many JWs don't really follow the news and this will be hidden from them. This bothers me that the public will know about this but most Witnesses will not. The intelligent JWs that DO know will be afraid to talk about it!

  I wonder if the two friends I have left there even know this recent bad news. I wager that they do not, sadly.

  I can only hope this bad press causes some wishy-washy conscious class fence-sitters to leave the damn religion!!!

  If there is a God, I hope she is a "she".

  The Watchtower is being exposed and it is tasting its own poison !!
  

  Since many religions arose from a desire for political power, prestige, and popular acceptance rather than a desire to please God, it is no surprise that religion is involved in such badness as child abuse, fraud, war, or terrorism. All too often, religion is a sham. How can you avoid being deceived? (w07/1/3 Does It Matter Which Religion You Choose?)

  JW's at the door or sitting at their stand will look very stupid when someone

  inquiry about the abuse cases. What will they say, " I haven't read it and it's

  a lie".. How will they defend the borg??

  Thank you flipper for being the voice of all the victims of the Wt. Cult. For those of us who have been through this kind of abuse it is hard to put it into words sometimes but you hit the nail right on the head. Again thanks for your words of concern. Still Totally ADD

  Problemaddict 2,

  I know how you feel. I wish so much that the ORG burns to the ground, but history shows that people are stupid.
