I once engaged in a debate about why the Catholic Church was a totally corrupt organization and is bloodguilty for hundreds of years of murder and deciet and one half-assed "I'm sorry" is NOT going to make up for it. Not even a thousand sorries will make up for it. After visiting here and seeing all the horrible experiences you all have had I now apply the debate to the Witnesses as well.
- "Coruption
Well, the Catholic church has filed for bankruptzy. How pathetic can you get. The only reason they're doing this is so they don't have to pay for all the molestation lawsuits they're losing. We've been having a little discussion on this subject in Leoville. This whole organization is so corupted it's not even funny. These people can't even face the music of earthly justice, how do they think they're going to face heavenly justice. A bunch of freakin scumbags pimping religion like a dimestore hooker.
Someone made a comment that you can't condemmn an entire organization because of the actions of a relative few. Here's what I said in reply:
It was the pedophilia of a relatively few men, yes. But it was the action of the head officials to hide their actions that has involved the whole organization. They were, in essence, accessories to the crime. Kinda like how a getaway driver gets convicted for the bank robber's actions because the getaway driver helped him in his crime, helped him escape the scene of the crime and made sure that he wasn't caught. The head officials in these cases helped the perverts get away, covered up their actions and gave them sanctuary and only when they were busted did they admit it and feel bad for their actions. I don't buy it.
But when any leaders of any organization aids a large group of people in their illegal activity and helps them get away with it that entire organization is guilty. Look at the Taliban for instance... they have aided terorism, they have covered up their activities to the best of their abilities, they have given them sanctuary and protection, they are guilty and that seems to be good enough reason to start a war with them and take them down. Because of the actions of a few terrorists we have deemed the entire Taliban organization guilty. Curious...
If the organization had taken those perverts and kicked them out of the church and had charges filed against them AS ANY DECENT PERSON WOULD DO then that would be good. But they didn't. Any company, any organization, any agency any decent PERSON that knows of someone breaking the law and comitting a major crime such as this is responsible for alerting the authorities and filing charges against them.
I don't know of ANY employer that wouldn't fire someone and have them arrested if they found out that person stole from the company, sexually assaulted a co-worker, harased a co-worker, engaged in ANY illegal activity outside of work or ANYTHING. It seems to me that most major and minor companies have higher morals than the largest religious organization in the world. How did that happen?
So although the sex crimes were committed by a relative few there was an even greater crime committed by the leaders of the organization and that was a crime of covering up, providing sanctuary for the lawbreaker, paying off people to keep silent, and allowing people like that to still function within the organization and putting them in more situations that would allow them to repeat their crimes. But more importantly, they are guilty of betraying their parishioners who have put their faith and their trust in their religious leaders and they have been stabbed in the back by those they look to for guidance. That is the greatest crime of all. And because these leaders speak and act FOR the organization they ARE the organization. And since the leaders were allowed to remain in power by the head of the church... well, I think that speaks for itself."
- Then someone said that if you have a gangrenous limb you shouldn't kill the whole body, just amputate the limb.
To which I had to reply:
"That would be great if it happened. But the problem is that instead of amputating the limb they covered it up with pretty dressing and flashy clothing and good deeds to hide the problem. This has caused the infection to spread. If left to fester as it has the gangrenous limb itself will kill the whole body. Unfortunately it wasn't the limb that had gangreen, it was the head. But the fact remains that the entire body is already dead. The infection has now taken over the body, possessing it, animating it and is acting through it. No matter what their good deeds are, they can't ever make up for all the blood on their hands. And this filing bankruptzy thing is patetic. They are souless sons-of-bitches and they will reap what they have sown.
And as far as I know, there's no bankrutzy in the afterlife to bail you out of your judgement."
- After visiting this site I now see that the JW organization is just as guilty and that they are NO DIFFERENT than the Catholic Organization in these cover-up scandles. It will only be a matter of time before they have hundreds and hundreds of lawsuits against them and they will follow suit and claim bankruptzy. Maybe it will be then that these active JW's will wake up to the facts and leave the organization. Either that or they will be aligning themselves with an evil organization and will be considered "guilty by association."
