How would you respond to this defense made on behalf of The Watchtower's Child Abuse lawsuits?
by adjusted knowledge indetails of the society's child abuse policies have been published in jehovah's witnesses' publications, although more specific guidelines are only made available to elders, or on request.
press releases issued by the watch tower society's office of public information confirm that if a person accused of molestation repeatedly denies the charges of his victim, and there is no other witness to the incident, "the elders cannot take action within the congregation at that time", but would report to authorities if required by local laws.
our families jehovahs witnesses and child protection.

This long-winded letter doesn't even come close to addressing childrens rights, families rights, victims rights or basic humanity.
Not good enough.

That story about the theif and the bible is one of many variations I have heard-same story different names and places.
Too coincidental not to be a recycled urban myth.
I don't blame you for being suspicious about that story Ddog.

Thank you all for your honest responses.
Leaving the borg is bloody hard some days, so much so that occasionally
I wonder if going back and lying to everyone is a reasonable compromise.
Crazy talk I know.

Bill Cosby - too much smoke for no fire?
by Simon init seems like the list of people who are accusing him of rape and sexual assault is growing every day.
i'm skeptical of single accusations but the number of people and the similar stories seem overwhelming now.. it's not a conviction but to the court of public opinion ... guilty?.

How and why?
by snare&racket inonce upon a time, there was a world in flux, undergoing change and diversity at an imperceptible pace.
only with hindsight was it possible to catalogue the various paths being born that led to a word and humanity so very different one hundred years later than compared to any time in the homo sapiens past.. technology, warfare, the universe, the discovery of atoms... born in stars, all things forced upon the fragile minds of mortals in a short period of time.. these overwhelming changes led to the birth of many things, including comforts and hopes that were far to readily available to grasp ahold of.
as the founders of these comforts could not themselves grasp the world they found the self in, they sought the worlds they knew, the past, 4000 years in the past......the technicalities and truths were to be ironed out at another time, a time never reached.. some had no choice in the matter, the grasping was done by their parents, their grandparents, their great grandparents.....when the time came for personal analysis, not only had they inherited comfort but great, great fears.

If you make an agreement based on a lie, is it reasonable to renig on that agreement, once you discover it is a lie?
Abso-bloody-lutely it is. Give up on the lie people and step off into the rest of your life.

How is this not "Sunday School" for kids?
I remember JWs bragging for years we didn't need a seperate lesson just for kids.
