  will the child abuse situation blow up in the society's faces?.

  how world wide do you think its effects will be and when?.

  i am only interested to know because if i share with other witnesses i'd like to know how much they will of heard and how much it'll matter, at the moment it seems its not recieved as much media attention as he catholic church for example, will this change?.

  It might cost them a few members, but the majority will be
  told that it is the satan-controlled media distorting the facts
  again, and they will accept that and carry on.

  It might make the ministry interesting for a while though.

  When Tina later became a single mum, hypocrite Porter claimed she was guilty of a mortal sin and shunned her. She said: "He didn't approve of sex out of wedlock and said I'd condemned my child to death." Yet he molested kids in the religious community, convinced its reclusive nature would keep his secret hidden.

  He didn't approve of sex outside of marriage eh? I wonder what sexual
  pleasures HE was enjoying when he made that comment. What a
  hypocrite.

  Still, it's impossible to be married to an 18 month old child anyway.

  Very intersting Fedor.

  I hope the watchtower monitor these sites regularly. I doubt they
  like the majority of what they read, and the less brainwashed ones
  among them might even learn something other than the bs that
  they are subjected to on a daily basis by the org.

  Excellent Mary!

  I thought of using the caption: "All welcome here, even paedophiles"

  It kind of seems that way anyway

  We cut our electricity bill in half

  we did it by reducing television and air conditioner usage, being more conservative about using the oven, getting rid of an old freezer, and changing our light bulbs.

  .

  i'm very proud of us!

  Good for you Rebel!

  We use low energy lightbulbs in every room, and that has made a
  differrence to our bill. We've also stopped leaving the pc on standby
  when it's not in use.

  Good spot Slim.

  I have seen that before, but didn't really think about it's signicance until
  your post, although we all know that the magazines, especially the
  watchtower, are far more important than the bible itself in wttchtower
  land.

  buildings at Brooklyn Bethel.

  I wonder if they will remove it in light of the September km Question Box
  diatribe on bible study, or maybe change it to say "Don't Read God's Word
  The Bible Daily Unless You Have A Watchtower Publication Handy"?

  Thanks for the update Danny, it's good to see that the papers here
  aren't letting this matter drop.

  Let's hope it shames the watchtower into giving Porter a lot more than
  a slap on the wrist, though I'm not holding my breath waiting for that
  to happen, and that there is a successful appeal against the light
  sentence he received, a retrial, and a long spell in prison, which is
  where he should be, following that.

  However, this topic has the capacity to stick in the mind of anyone who hears about.

  I suspect that more than a few JWs are utterly wretched and embarrassed at the very fact that they are known by friends, colleagues and family as a member of what is obviously a cult.

  I would hope so Gill. Anyone with any decency would be appalled at not
  only this mans' crimes but also his punishment, if one can call it that.

  Most jws may spout the wts mantra "jehovah is the judge" when challenged
  about this case, and I'd be amazed if no one has mentioned it to those
  who were on the ministry in the last few days, but what they really feel
  about it may me somewhat differrent, especially if they have young children
  of their own. Maybe something like this will get a few more questioning
  what they are really involved in. Let's hope so.
