Great interview.

Credulity.
if you notice I started that comment with "I wonder" which alerts the reader that a hypothetical "thinking outloud" rhetorical question is about to follow. It was posed as a musing rather than a literal question. Not every single copy of COC could or would be "vacuumed up" by WT of course that would be impossible.🙄

Learning Other Languages
by Disassociated Lady 2 inthe jw org keeps its servants busier than ever these days so that their minds are occupied 24/7.
they ensure that there is no time for anything "worldly" to distract them.. in last week's watchtower article on spiritual health they are putting pressure on the congregation to learn other languages on top of everything else they do.
they allude to the fact that their spiritual health will suffer if they cannot understand the talks and publications in other languages.

Witnesses are taught another "language" the "pure language" or is that the language of pure BS.
I remember every so often they would push the "be useful to Jehovah and learn a language" message.
I think the GB know witnesses in western countries are bored out of their brains from the lack of anything "to do" and bored witnesses start doing things like dating worldly people and parousing the internet.
IOW bored witnesses are more likely to do something that wakes them up.

by poopie inso here's my thought what should be done to an elder that is accused of molesting a child and there no 2 witnesses ?
1. the elder should immediately step down or be removed.2.
the child should be protected.

First off I would like to say how sorry I am for you, your siblings and your family poopie.
To answer your other question I believe strongly that there is zero moral justification of so-called "clergy confessional privilege" in cases of child abuse.
I also believe the JWs cannot use "clergy privilege" to hide behind simply because they discuss the matter amongst other elders, the Branch, possibly the CO and others so confidentiality has been breached from the getgo.

The church should
1 REPORT TO POLICE.
2 Immediately suspend all Elder duties including field service.
As Elders cannot physically be with an accused 24/7 all they can do is tell police and support the victim and family by supporting their decision to go to police and the hospital.

REPORT REPORT REPORT TO THE POLICE!
The victim's parents should go directly to the police and let them haul the accused elder in for questioning.
JWs have no business investigating crimes.

"You Wouldn't Believe How Many Have Crawled Back To The Meetings"
by minimus inthat's a comment i heard from an elder i haven't seen in over a decade, yesterday.
i mentioned it all on my other thread.
i responded that i knew of no one that was crawling back to the meetings and gave him an incredulous hearty chuckle.

It's the kind of sarcastic concern an abductor would show to their victim who has to crawl back to them because the abductor broke their legs.
