Why the WTBTS is liable for Sex Abuse Cases
by Coded Logic inthe problem isn't just that kids are getting raped by people in their congregation.
the problem's also that anytime someone has "serrious charges" brought against them the elders add notes to that jws publisher file.
and, if the elders don't take the matter to the police or, as is often the case, tell the victims families not to take it to the police either, this establishes a level of accountability.. take daniel fitzwater for example.

Ignorance=bliss, if there was a case where the parents did not want the crime to be reported, the elders SHOULD override the parents & report it anyway as the welfare of the child should take priority! This is basic common sense, which unfortunately many in the org today do not have

Words that irritate
by punkofnice ini have words that irritate me and not always without reason.. my latest hate is the word: 'solutions' as used by so many businesses in their title these days.
y'know, 'something innane business solutions' and such balderdash.. i loathe that word now.
arrrrggghhhhhh!

Just to elaborate on my question above - Hesitant love as in some people get married even though they are not really attracted to each other or do not know each other that well or have doubts but proceed anyway as there is no one else to get married to & they are afraid that they would eventually grow old without a chance to get married & have kids (no thanks to the strict interpretation of "marry only in the Lord" which has resulted in many failed marriages)

Agreed. The arguement that the organization should not me made liable for the actions of an individual member is totally baseless as it all comes down to organizational policy. Because the policy is ineffective, hence there is continued abuse

Is The Bible Now Obsolete - On Moral Standards?
by metatron insometimes, i feel like my life has been summed up by a grateful dead quote: "what a long strange trip it's been".. .
after many years as a witness, i discovered that i worked with gay people - and that they struggled to pay a mortgage and had pretty much the same problems as everyone else.
what was i concerned about?

I believe that common sense is the most important thing that a person needs when reading the Bible. Problems arise when people read the Bible without using common sense (Matt 12: 1 - 12)
