If Disfellowshipping pedophiles protects the congregation, what does it do for "Those Outside" they are expelled to?

  Thank you Cappytan! You are wonderful. :)

  You are so good at that - here is another one I would really love to have. I would watch it whenever i needed a laugh.

  The part where Judge McClelland sticks it to Bowditch about what he had said to his wife to tell BCG. McClelland ends up making him say that his wife lied to him! Lol! it is so great - I have watched it three times already. McClelland is smiling and makes a complete fool out of Bowditch - "we are here to find out the truth, aren't we?" Lol! of course we are...the truth about the truth. heehee.

  Okay...I apologize. but...pretty please...one more. The end of the longer clip where Justice McClelland hands the Watchtower lawyer his ass on a plate and makes him eat it. The WT lawyer literally is groveling. It is when the WT guy tries to enter photograph's of BCG's wedding into "evidence". What an idiot - McClelland is superb in that interchange!

  Sorry...starting a new post cause I think my editing time might run out...

  I just got to say this. Someone mentioned a while back about the movie potential of this event. I don't think a movie is necessary. For one, I can't think of how anyone could play the part of Bowditch better than he does already. The guy is a comedy act all on his own.

  In fact, all of the WT little men are fine actors. Even the blonde bimbo is acting. It is all they can do - they are empty inside - they have no truth to tell. They have to act.

  And the heroes of this fine exhibition of intellect and reason could never and should never be replaced. Mr. Stewart and Justice McClelland are superb human beings who deserve the limelight. An actor could never top their honesty, sincerity and presence.

  This is kangaroo court up against a real court. Fantasy...meet reality. Boom!

  sort of a ramble here,

  My thoughts many years ago:

  but why go out in service, when the reason is to get some one to go to meetings. it is not and never will be a safe place.

  Now this horrid man, Bowditch, must be going out in service. Right? He has the recklessness to say he isn't going to protect non jw's, unless he knows them personally. But he is not protecting anyone one in his hall either. But inviting people he meets at the door and maybe that silly cart thing, to come to a safe place of worship.

  This is so crazy.

  Hey, wasanelderonce...! in your OP you wrote:

  They have no compunction about sending predators out in the world without warning them... Does this show contempt of the Witnesses towards their neighbor?

  .

  I posted nearly the same thing last night :

  

  AudeSapere16 hours ago... It's clear that for all their proselytizing, JW's have utter disdain for the non-JW population.

  They had explicit and intricate knowledge of just how BAD these people were, yet felt no compunction to give notice to the authorities. The just set these guys free from the congregation and let them run rampant upon unsuspecting public.

  The Spider and the Fly

  “Will you walk into my parlor?” said the spider to the fly;
  “’Tis the prettiest little parlor that ever you did spy.
  The way into my parlor is up a winding stair,
  And I have many pretty things to show when you are there.”
  “O no, no,” said the little fly, “to ask me is in vain,
  For who goes up your winding stair can ne’er come down again.”

  “I’m sure you must be weary, dear, with soaring up so high;
  Will you rest upon my little bed?” said the spider to the fly.
  “There are pretty curtains drawn around, the sheets are fine and thin,
  And if you like to rest awhile, I’ll snugly tuck you in.”
  “O no, no,” said the little fly, “for I’ve often heard it said,
  They never, never wake again, who sleep upon your bed.”
