How can?

Gorbatchov

With all those happy holidays Gorby took some time to search in online Dutch newspaper archives. Great to see how much information is on the net.

I searchedon the subject JW and many articles, from negatie to positive and all in between came on the screen.

Like the blood issue, 1975 worlds end, Ray Franz incident, former witness, finance,etc etc.

The question I asked myself, is that if there is so much kind of scandals and negative information over the years,how can a person ignore this?

If it looks like a pig, it smells like a pig and makers the noise of it... it has to be one.

"If it looks like a pig, it smells like a pig and makers the noise of it... it has to be one."

I agree. It is amazing how many JW's just shove their heads in the sand. It is easier for them, they just can't/won't cross over.

Harvey Weinstein was a major player in all kinds of success in the entertainment industry and he was taken down. So was Kevin Spacey and Matt Lauer. Clearly, eventually, deals made with the devil can become void. There is hope. Timing and subject matter clearly matters. Getting the attention of the public matters. Pissing off a lot of females helps.

This is one little pissante cult. There is a key to bringing them down. . . What is it?

The answer is 'rational ignorance' which is the practice of refraining from acquiring knowledge when the cost of educating oneself on an issue exceeds the potential benefit that the knowledge would provide.

Hence you don't focus on or ignore the JW sexual child abuse problem.

You don't waste your time on science especially Evolution.

You are cautioned not to speculate (the birthplace of many a break through idea).

You wait on Jah.

The loyal JW takes their pleasure in associating with other rational ignorant believers. I will hand it to them they truly invented fake news.

...how can a person ignore this?

Because it's a cult and they are brainwashed but...some will escape!

To take myself and my wife as an example:

We don't read any hardcopy newspapers.
We don't watch TV news.
Both of us normally only read news online through a single source (nu.nl)
In the car we have the radio on, so once or twice a week we may hear the news there.

So even with the recent avalanche of news paper articles in our country, my wife saw exactly....none of it.

JW aren't interesting enough (yet) to make headlines or be top articles online. Unless you have a decent (hardcopy) newspaper that you read front to back, it's unlikely you ever see those JW articles.

And it's not like the JW that do see them share them on Facebook or talk about it with others....don't want to stumble anyone yo...

I now have Google alers set up to notify me of JW related news. But my wife doesn't...

So she only knows about these issues if someone tells her about it....as a return visit did some weeks ago...
