k, so maybe i'll play threadkiller, we'll see
the greatest scandle to me is that this organization could so totally control me (and millions of others out there) in full knowledge and complete dishonesty about the 'truth'. Knowingly for craps sake.
I really enjoyed and appreciate the COC and ISOCF books of R Franz but feel much stronger feelings than he writes, about the responsiblity that the individuals that make up the whole of the headquarters have for what they are doing in controlling peoples lives with the LIE! Perhaps Ray simply writes that way to not alienate some who aren't convinced yet of the truth about the 'truth'.
Of course, to outsiders with knowledge of how cults control, it is no surprise the above, but when you're born into it, surpressing all questions and obvious bs (obvious now) because you've been convinced/controlled that it is the 'truth', well jeece, it isn't such an easy pill to swallow.

I think the UN debacle probably up there along with the homosexual alcoholics that used to run rampant at bethel in the 70's, the millions now living lie is still being told to 3rd generation dubby's of course the hide the molesters thing is killing them in court ..

At this point I think it is the significant number of cases where elders abused their power - usually in a sexual way against innocent children.
The elders are the Achillies heel of the Watchtower. There are more than a few time bombs ticking away....
I also suspect that at some point a significant financial scandal will erupt. That might be fun.

Elder sexually abusing daughters and step daughter - never punished
Elder stealing from contribution box - nothing done.
Elder forging appointment recommendation letter for his cousin (an elder) nothing done about it.
Elders son attempted rape IN kingdom Hall - the girl ran. Elders son moved away. Again, no action taken.
Elder gambling, allowed to step down with no furthur action taken.
Seeing a pattern here?

The biggest scandal regarding the Witnesess is that they think they have the truth.

Like I said, the elder arrangement was the worst idea ever. Giving power to uneducated power seeking middle aged men has and will lead to big problems.
