something just struck me.. is the wts the only religion that won't kick people out for abusing children, but would kick you out for visiting a website that informs you that the wts won't kick people out for abusing children .... it really shows where their sensibilities lie.
they are more interested in acting as gatekeepers to information, especially information about them, than providing basic levels of protection to the children of their members.. maybe someone with a better turn of phrase can shorten it, it might make a good meme - something short and simple that really makes people think:.
"the wts - tougher on those who read reports of jw child abuse than on jws who conduct child abuse".
Simon:
"The WTS - tougher on those who read reports of JW child abuse than on JWs who conduct child abuse"
--------------------------------------------------------------
Now there's a true statement!
If a JW were to warn others in the congregation about child abuse, they would disfellowship that person. But the one committing the crime can just deny it, and nothing will be done. Business as usual.

seven years ago multiple letters between the governing body and the us branch committee, as well as internal memos and e-mails were provided by watchtower to a us dictrict court in the course of discovery in the ramapo property case.
these documents are public records available through pacer, and now they are available for free on the case page here: https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/5373802/lorterdan-properties-at-ramapo-i-llc-v-watchtower-bible-and-tract/ (see document no.
45 and attachments).i have also compiled all the internal documents in chronological order here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/15q-1_cylhxgesb0z4pkr5fjohz7u_y-p/view?usp=sharing 124 pages is a minuscule part of their archives but i hope somebody will find these documents interesting..
Corney:

I just sent you an email with 2 BOE's instructing public speakers and elders on extensive research. The Society makes claims research has already been provided by them and their outlines. (1999 and 2007) Don't be drinking any coffee when you read them.
If you think the BOE's are bad, you should see the Qualified to be Ministers book. Oh brother! Talk about mind control! (QM pg.16)
Back in the 50's the WT even said it was ok to go to the public library to research extra materials. If an elder tried that today he would probably get the firing squad. Or busted down to mowing the grass!

If the Bible was a little expensive to make, then the next one will bring in more contributions also. It's almost like they are selling Bible sections at a time.
Thanks Anna!
