Or I wonder how long until reading anything in the news related to JW is "apostate" material and should be treated as such. I'm suprised they haven't pulled that card yet.
Crap, I think I just gave them an idea....

Do you think the GB ever mentions these abuse cases directly?
by thedepressedsoul inthe title says it all, do you think that the gb will ever bring up these cases in their literature or in a talk?
i'm not talking about them just mentioning "persecution" i'm talking about actually bringing up child abuse cases and trying to justify it.. or will it just remain the elephant in the room until years have passed?.

Why isn't this getting big news covereage like the Cathloics? Or will it once the ball really gets rolling? If it doesn't get much news coverage it's safe to say that the JW are a drop in the bucket of religon to not even get that much attention.

I heard and have witnessed some halls not sending all of the money and keeping a lot more than $3,000.00. There have also been whispers of a dividing on some elder bodies has half feel they should send it and the other half feels they shouldn't. The elders that own their own businesses seem to be the ones against sending it.

I agree there is a huge risk but they have to know that Witnesses are reading these news articles. They can't stop them from poping up on their TV or news feed. Any Witness who hears Jehovah's Witnesses on the news will watch it.

If you’ve followed the news lately there are more and more child abuse cases popping up. One lawyer said he has over 28 cases in the pipeline that are going to be coming out soon. On December 1 st a new one just popped up. The branch saw this “war” coming and these cases coming before the media and we ever caught wind of it. Here is why I think it’s clear that the Kingdom Hall money grab was to battle these cases.
Multiple cases are coming and coming and will continue to come. The more people that come forward the more it’ll’ give other abuse victims courage to come forward instead of living with the horrible assault that happened to them. These cases are not cheap if the lawsuit numbers have anything to say about it. There also comes the issue of there being just too many cases for their 90$ per month lawyers to handle. They’ll start to hire outside help if they have not already to deal with this overwhelming number of cases coming to light.
So what do they do? They grab all of the Kingdom Halls money to try to fight this never ending battle. If they simply just borrowed the Funds on Deposit money like they do, some halls could just withdrawal all of their money on hand with the branch and the branch would be stuck paying the lawsuits plus the money back the halls. This way they can just use all this money with no thought of having to pay it back.
They go even a step further though. They start requiring all halls to pay a monthly amount, that’s not cheap mind you and for them to only keep around $3,000.00 on hands. Sounds like a franchise doesn’t it? They have positioned themselves for these lawsuits. They got a pay day from the Funds on Deposit and they are getting a huge monthly amount from every congregation to “build new halls” or aka pay for these child abuse cases.
It’s actually pretty sickening to think about. This money grab has a very suspicious timing with all of these law suits coming to light. In my opinion, they saw them coming and realized the danger of their survival if they did not do this. There have been other things taking place too, selling of properties, closing of branches, getting rid of unnecessary expenses and distancing themselves from appointed men. Those in the congregation, all they do is focus on judging people for wearing tight pants while those they claim are their brothers and sisters are told to suppress the sexual assault that happened to them.
They are hunkering down for a storm and it’s getting clear as day that this storm is starting to kick up. It’s ironic that all this is happening at the 100 year anniversary. Who knows, maybe in 50 years they will teach that on the 100 year anniversary “nations attacked them”. “How clear it has become that 1914 is an actual date and that on the 100 year anniversary we faced an attack from the nations”.

I heard a good analogy the other day.
If I jump out of a two story window for the fun of it I would be putting my life in danger I think most would agree. Now if the house was burning down and the only chance I had of survival was to jump out that window almost everyone would say I did it to save my life and would agree on that choice.
Now take that with blood. To just abuse blood for the fun of it I would agree that it is completely wrong. Now if your survival depended on blood, even if it may come with risks, it’d be worth doing to save your life. Somehow I think God (if he’s out there) would agree.

@WallsofJ - Expressing your opinion is one thing. Claiming that gay people are designing these clothes so they can look at you is another.
