But a juicy, rush-to-judgement grab at something inaccurate that you would like to hear doesn't do any good.
A good sentence, mustang. The Web is full of garbage (it's full of great stuff too, but it also has plenty of garbage). That's true of any subject you can think of. Interested in something as innocent as sports? You can find fan pages with inaccurate info on them. Garbage.
The WTS is guily of many bad things that can be documented. But they are not guilty of everything they are accused of. Some who accuse them are mentally ill. Some who accuse them have an axe to grind that blinds their judgment. Some who accuse them are as dishonest as the WTS itself. So what should be done with this myriad of web pages on the topic of the WTS?
You apply Carl Sagan's Baloney Detection test on them. If something is true, it will stand up to scrutiny. It will not be mere rumors and innuendo. Dragging out every dead cat found on the Net does far more harm than good. I realize skally likes to hide behind the statement 'I don't judge, I have an open mind, I just point out everything.' Well, that's what search engines are for. And once you unearth all that garbage, you apply the Baloney Detection techniques and weed out those that have no credible evidence. Then you post them.
If you start posting everything you find, you wind up posting a lot of garbage, and why would anyone want to post garbage?
I could start a web site claiming that sheep and goats are kept in the lobby of 124 Columbia Heights in order to demonstrate to tour groups what is going to happen at Armageddon. The goats are slaughtered by the Cleansing Dept. brothers right there in the lobby, and the little kids on tour are shocked. But then the kids are hustled into the Brainwashing Dept. where they are subjected to intense imagery of paradise settings mingled with individual shots of porn videos.
Guarantee, absolutly guarantee, that someone, somewhere would find this web site and plaster it all over here with the warning, "SOMETHING MUST BE DONE ABOUT THIS DEPRAVITY." Except that it wouldn't be true. It would just be another unsubstantiated web site with a wild claim and no credible evidence to back it up.
Does so much harm to the exJW cause.
