Certainly, they must now see how they have a moral obligation to report abuse to the authorities, regardless of if there is a legal obligation, right?

ask a question, and i will help with a simple answer, not an over referenced i'm smarter than you vent.
i love the people who go to my congregation.
they are sweet, friendly, and lovable.
(which is one of the things that makes being awake so much easier.
if we are in the congregation, do you think our comments or questions actually reach elders or others in the congregation?
do our comments on this board affect witnesses to the point of questioning their faith?
I do not believe websites like this create doubt in lurkers, but I do think it definitely helps people who already have doubts get out. Having doubts and beginning to realize what the truth about the watchtower is a very lonely place to be. Forums like this give much needed support that help you sort out the real truth and then eventually leave.
the answer was "no".

obviously it's the onion so it's satirical but it got me thinking how the religious view prayer and god.
What always bothered me the most is that when zealots claim that God answered their prayers, it is always at the expense of someone else.
If God "answered your prayers" and you won a game or award, it implies you are God's special chosen one over the other contenders.
If God "answered your prayers" and saved your child from cancer, it implies God had the ability to save other children from cancer, also, but chose not to.
I don't really think people understand what they are saying when they use that phrase. I think it's just become cliche` and something people say without thinking.

Either that, or he is just a really bad actor, over-acting everything. Maybe both?
He reminds me of Marshall Applewhite, that crazy cult leader of Heaven's Gate (the cult where everyone killed themselves while sporting terrible boy haircuts and new black tennis shoes). I have posted the Applewhite video below the Lett video for comparison.
Maybe they just both went to the same "So You Want To Be a Cult Leader" seminar. The similarities in style are uncanny.
