  A kind response to Jim Penton & Ros of Channel C

  by Amazing in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the following are transports of postings on http://www.channelc.org/ made by jim penton and ros regarding myself and james caputo respectively.

  the reason that i did not post directly on channel c is that ros and many of her board participants do not like to see anything that resembles catholic discussion, even if the responses are done respectfully and in a spirit of clarifying a false claim or misunderstanding.

  i too do not like "catholic" discussions on channel c, and have not posted there for 9 months until i recently posted an announcement about tom cabeen's interviews on ewtn and with randy watters.

  Ruth:

  So do I understand that the deletions were across the board and not just Catholics or Catholic threads?

  Ruth:

  But you are the one saying that posts are deleted from the board at will, so I assume you must know this to be he case.

  What has been deleted? Discussion of Catholicism?
  Amazing says no mention of Catholicism is allowed.
  Are posts deleted that mention Catholicism?

  Ros is very good at deleting posts from her board when she doesn't like their content. I suggest she should either delete the post which includes the "quotes" from James Caputo or she should post the reply you have given here on the Channel C board in its entirety.

  Dear Ruth:

  What are some posts that Ros deleted from Channel C?
  What were they about?

  Okay, evidently the program doesn't like messages formatted in MSWord.

  . . .

  The Watchtower Society seems to take the position that it is not their business to require Jehovah's Witnesses to report criminal behavior of other Jehovah's Witnesses to law enforcement authorities or child services. Even though it is well known that members in the past have been severely disciplined, even disfellowshipped in local congregations, for reporting to civilian authorities, the Watchtower now claims they do not prohibit members from reporting crime to the authorities. Even in their stating this position their hypocrisy should be obvious to all.

  It's one thing to say they don't prohibit their members from reporting against other members; it's quite another thing to encourage them or require them to do so. And the Watchtower leadership knows full well that if they specifically directed their membership in a Watchtower article to report crime to law enforcement authorities, they would do so. But they don't publish such an article because they know their members are hesitant to report without specific instruction, and because they want to avoid, at all cost, all negative publicity that might cast a shadow of doubt among their members that they are uniquely "God's people." So they know full well that by their silence on the matter they encourage resistance to reporting so as not to "bring reproach on Jehovah's Name."

  For an organization that monitors just about every aspect of their members' lives from the moral aspect of their doctrine, isn't it interesting they don't consider it their place to advise members to report criminals? Wouldn't it be nice if they considered some other personal matters, like whether or not a member takes a blood transfusion, none of their business as well?

  Barbara is to be highly commended for her work to expose this organization's dereliction in their responsibilities to protect the children in their membership.

  I've been trying to post a comment to this thread and get an error message every time.

  There is no bad language in the post. Yet my little test message appeared above okay.

  Anybody have any idea why my message about the Watchtower's policy in this matter might be booted?

  Also, is Simon still the forum administrator?

  Thanks,

  1.5 million letters

  that's about how many key strokes i've entered posting close to 2000 times.. that comes to almost 900 full type written pages.. i type around 150 characters per minute so just the job of typing my posts took me about 165 hours.

  that comes to 30 minutes of typing per week for the last 6 years.. of course there is "thinking" time connected to the process which would probably bring it to at least 2 hrs.

  per week thinking and typing.

  You might find this article interesting. It quotes more recent Watchtower Society literature where the writer(s) are either lying or are inexcusably ignorant of the WTS's doctrinal history.

  When I moved to the city where I now live, it was a company transfer with a major electronics company. I was unable to find a place to rent or even buy that I could afford in the city. I still had an escrow in the city I was moving from, which had not yet sold. At the time rentals in this city were almost impossible to find believe it or not, much less low-cost properties. It was an strange but temporary situation for the city I moved to.

  I settled temporarily for a room-by-the-week in a cheap motel in the shady section of town while I continued to work at my new job, look for a home--rent or buy, and hope to sell my existing escrow in the other city.

  I was desparate. I had to find a place with a fenced yard because I had pets. I began to look for a place in nearby towns. Found one listed in another town about 30 miles away from where I worked, but the listing itself was for a property about 2 miles from where I worked. For some bizarre reason, the property owner with a balloon payment soon due had listed his property with a real estate that was out of the area, and I found it. The place was old, small, but perfect for my needs, and right in the heart of the downtown square on mainstreet. I bought it for less than $34,000 in 1990.

  The little town was beginning to grow as the "bedroom" community for middle-upper-class people, especially employed by the company I worked for. My previous escrow sold and after a couple years I acquired a larger place, but kept the little house in the center of the quaint little town where Clint Eastwood shot parts of the movie Bronco Billy. Then the town began to mushroom. Property values shot up. The area where my little property is became the central business district. I paid the property off about a year ago, and have been approached numerous times by interested investors to sell it. I don't wanna sell it.

  I can't think of anything in my life that I have "found," $$-wise, that compares to that. :-)

  Tigerman asked:

  Would somebody who is knowledgeable about what took place at this gathering please elaborate . . .I haven't a clue.

  Unless things have changed in the past 50 years (besides the women can now wear all that makeup), that's their idea of getting the Holy Spirit. They get pretty excited when "speaking in tongues" too. We used to call Pentecostals "Holy Rollers". ~Ros
