i wonder if the watchtower will use the same tactic as the hare krishnas.. devon.

>>hare krishnas to declare bankruptcy to avoid abuse lawsuit.

hare krishna congregations named in a lawsuit alleging sexual and emotional abuse of boarding school students will file for bankruptcy to avoid being sued.. a spokesman for the hindu sect said about a dozen congregations will start filing for bankruptcy reorganisation next week in several states.. the group hopes that if their plan is approved by federal bankruptcy judges, the $400 million (280 million) lawsuit filed in dallas by former boarding school students will be dismissed.. anuttama dasa, a maryland-based spokesman for the international society of krishna consciousness, or iskcon, said: "we don't believe that innocent members and congregations should be held accountable for the deviant behaviour of individual acts committed 20 or 30 years ago.".

i read from the freedom of mind web site that licensed cult-expert, steven hassan was also interviewed for the dateline episode.

this would mean that in addition to the wt protecting pedophiles, they are going to expose them for being a cult .

the past few weeks i have been comnunicating with jw's in my area who attend kh meetings physically but not mentally.

they are "closet apostates" or "double agents".

some are planning to leave the area altogether to avoid the hassles of being shunned.. according to one of these "closet apostates", he believes that 30% if not more of the members in his congregation would leave if it were not for the shunning.
