I'm Mostly a lurker so far (sounds so sinister..lol like a peeping Tommy) I post on an AOL Debate board and often we have a room open afternoon/evenings on Paltalk geared towards Discussion or support for ex-JW's. I work for a Vet but am taking some time off for R&R as it's been a few years so I doubt I will be doing anything productive as far as physical extersion or housework. Might as well sit and get a healthy case of chat butt. It's not like I haven't suffered with it for years already. lol
I enjoy reading the posts here and they are very informative!

top ten excuses some jw's use to deny there are child molesters in the watchtower:.
10. its tv and that its not real.
9. it's all lies.
Top Ten Excuses some JW's use to deny there are child molesters in the Watchtower:
10. its TV and that its not real
9. It's all lies
8. The end is coming. Prophecy is coming true! They're attacking Jehovah's people!"
7. It's just like Christ being hung on the stake ~ we are being hung for no reason.
6. We got hammered in the holocaust that's why.
5. I know the Internet is out to get us and we must survive this physical trauma
4. They are so full of hate that they make up Dateline shows.
3. We are like the African American people getting persecuted just due to the actions of 1 or 2 JW's who were not real.
2. Only Catholics do that .. we just show an expression of love
And the number one top ten reason!
1. They were not/never real JW's.
the following is a post dealing with dateline and pedophilia in the borg.
i predict that the guy who wrote this post may show up here one day before too long.

Mustang:
It's not persecution to be ostracized or punished for YOUR OWN MISDEEDS. It is plain and simple justice. And if it is meted out by the 'authority', it is also scriptural.Reminds of this section from "Toxic Faith"I've been expecting a cry of 'persecution' over some of their own 'dirt' coming out in the open. Frankly, it doesn't count.
"In a healthy system, individuals serving in that organization have respect for the person and position of leadership. For it to remain healthy, there must also be respect for the workers. When there is not respect, the "hired hands" are not allowed to disagree. If they don't like something, they are labeled complainers, negative thinkers, and not team players. The toxic~Bugs
faith system has no place for anyone who challenges the integrity or disagrees with the methods of the leader. In the toxic faith system, loyalty is equated with blind faith and complete agreement with the leader.Allegiance that requires overlooking the truth must be pledged daily. When that allegiance is no longer there, the confrontational workers or members are labeled outcasts and rejected by the organizatoin. And so, they are forced to rebel since there is no room for disagreement within the organization.
As outcasts challenge the delusion of the system, they are discredited immediately. They express resentment for the autocratic system and the manipulation that stems from it. The toxic faith system creates a lose-lose situation where the outcasts must give up perceptions of reality or be willing to face complete rejection. Abandonment becomes the reward for trying to correct the ministry so it can succeed rather than be destroyed by scandal.
Outcasts can interpret reality for themselves. Even when their perception of reality goes against that of hundreds or thousands of followers, they can clearly see the problems and press for solutions to those problems. Outcasts are unimpressed by position or personhood. They love God and want to protect others from spiritual fraud.
For these people dedicated to God himself, it is not hard to see others' dedication to egos and empires created by humans. They are forced to suffer for what they see because they refuse to watch people live a lie and abuse others. No toxic faith system can handle this keen insight and dedication to truth. They must place their jobs and the church they love on the altar of sacrifice as they are forced to move on to a place where toxic faith is not
practiced."Toxic Faith, by Steve Arterburn and Jack Felton, pgs. 236-237.

Valis:
Once again the implication is that child molesters can somehow change with Jehovah's help...
Ah but the catch is ~ only if they are JW's
There's a different yardstick for all others of course. [8>]
Actually it was one of the more grasping excuses since the Dateline expose concerned those that were long term JW's and Elders. They don't seem to grasp that pedophilia isn't just something that warrents a slap on the wrist and it goes away.

Hmmm:
Welcome to the boards.I could barely make it through the irrelavent dronings of that first post. I noticed that you edited out the scriptures quoted. For that you are my hero. I don't think I would have survived that.
What is the source of your sig quote? How appropriate.
Thanks for the welcome!
(Other then just a few of the JW's on that AOL board) they are crying persecution and even comparing their trials to Christ on the Cross.
I think I've seen everything now! I am thinking of putting together a David Lettermen type Top 10 List of Excuses the JW's use to clear Watchtower .. or something to that effect I have too many competing for the top spot so it's hard to choose. The old tried and true one "those who were caught molesting were not real JW's" That's always a favorite to use.
Today it has jumped over the persecution Dateline to an all out conspiracy and the internet it out to get them. (Run Forrest Run!)
Ok we can here from dear "OneLadyBand" the 'mental giant' on her suspicions: (see if you can actually hear the hissing at the end of the word aposssssssssstate. lol)
Can anyone say "apostate?"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That could be one reason.
I have a theory, and if I were a betting person....Since the internet has become popular and so widely used, the apostate-JW's worldwide have begun a hate campaign that is unrivaled in their traitorous history.
The internet has served them well and enabled them to be way more organized than ever before.
Of what surprise then is it, if the most popular and handiest reason to hate any religion or anyone pops up and then is liberally applied to our faith; that latest reason for hate being child abuse.Public opinion will always be hot concerning issues like child abuse, just as it is in issues of abortion and other moral and ethical questions.
The admitted and/or proven crimes of some disfellowshipped persons and the alleged crimes of others serves as a handy tool to attempt to drive a wedge in public opinion against Jehovah's Witnesses as a group.Apostates are preying upon the admitted weaknesses of a few and embellishing them, blaming the whole association with as yet unproven accusations, simply because we strive harder than other organized religious groups to follow the Bible's counsel in all things, including the witnessing of wrongdoing
Several of the people who participate on the AOL critical discussion of Jehovah's Witnesses were never JW's and are not buying into the hogwash. They are looking worse every excuse and it's not going to wash with the public either. If this is a sample of how the majority are going to respond they might as well hang up the door to door. The public is not going to accept "persecution" as a reasonable answer. It's a cop out and part of the problem not the solution. They just can't put down the kleenex's long enough to look at how foolish they sound! It never ceases to amaze me that no matter what it is, they always try to turn it around and make it all about them without the slightest regard to the victims.
:::climbing off soapbox:::
I found my sig on a quotes site on the section with no authors :) I thought it would be perfect for this theme.

This "Dr" should be embarrassing to the WTS...it is to me to think I once was an avid JW... and to think that this is an example of what their stand is. sheesh!!!!
I agree .. his credentials and employment history fail to show a strong suit as an expert in Sociology. He isn't a professor now and according to the Bio hasn't been for a long time. They are really scraping the bottom of the mental food chain to dig up some support.
