From that WT response:
"We do not silence victims. Our members have an absolute right to report this horrible crime to the authorities."
Our members have a (((moral obligation))) to report this crime.

Gopher says:..."Vinny, I have to disagree with much of your last past. It struck me as filled with generalization and heated emotion. I couldn't respond to it all, here are the highlights I saw.
95% -- well that's your assessment. On certain threads the atheists may outnumber the believers, leading to that impression. But the believers give as good as they get. (See BA earlier on this thread.)

Some want to have in depth discussions on the subject of whether or not God exists. I have no problems with that and have done so many times. And will again.

Why would the "little atheist" in training want to get spanked?

BFD, it aired last night.
We never expected him to blow off the last one.
He used the word soulmate just the week before.
Said she was perfect. Bought the ring and seemed ready to at least start something.
But to blow her off completely was just WRONG! -

Yep, we liked Deanna too. Though I thought Jenni had a shot just because she was a dancer, former cowboys cheerleader, great bod etc.
But why couldn't the Bachelor just say, no marriage now to Deanna, but let's at least DATE or something? -

My son was 18 years old, had recently lost his mother (my first wife from many years ago) to suicide, at 34, only minutes after talking to him on the phone.
He then was suicidal, living on a different island alone, was disfellowshipped, broke, drug dependent and tore the ACL on his right knee. Was as down as you can get and almost out.
I told him he could move back home on our island and we'd get him all the help he could ever imagine if he simply went to the meetings. (yep threw the ole meetings thing in there). He agreed.
After telling the PO about all of this and his plans to move home while going to meetings, I was told I had cut the hand of Jehovah short.
He literally told me that when armageddon came, (((I))) might be the one destroyed for allowing him back in my home. (no kidding)
He said I showed poor judgement and that it would reflect on my coming back as an elder. (I had stepped down to help him for the previous year).
He took me off the WT readers list and said there would be more where that came from.
I did not care. He moved back home. I helped him with a career in photography. Helped him get the knee operation and got him his own puppy from the Humane Society to help him cope.
Two years later he is married to a great gal, lives in his own place, has a career in landscape photography, knee is healed and still has that great dog!
And I am no longer one of Jehovah's Witnesses.
He could not believe that when I told him.
And believe it or not, none of this affected my decision to leave the WT Society. Doctrinal reasons entirely had me turn in a letter of disassociation in 2006.
