Any thoughts on "Secrets of Pedophilia in an American Religion"?

i received my copy at noon today and have just now had to quit reading.

i was appalled at the lengths the wtbs has gone to protect themselves in court.

especially in their objections to handing over documentation.

Dagney

this c.d. is making me sick. it's a story that needs to be told, it just pisses me off how the w.t.s. acted.

That's exactly what I told my friend when I told him I was reading it, I want to throw up. I told him, if for a second you get a warm and fuzzy feeling for this corporation, don't forget in a second they will kick you to the curb to protect their money. It doesn't matter if it is illegal or criminal, the victim does not matter...only their money.

Dagney,
I feel for you, it takes intense concentration to get through all the legal documents. I am on the first case and got to page 228. The objections to producing documents are most telling to me.
I will not go into details so that its not ruined for someone else, but their arguments are outrageous.
It seems a "Christian" organization that is the "mouth piece of God" would behave as such with the secular authorities.
r.

Maybe I'll forgo it here and read it on my notebook at home. As if everything else isn't enough, I don't mind getting thoroughly disgusted with them at this point. It will make some things a lot easier.

Elder for 30 years, lost privelages due to WT Education policy

by justhuman in

this is a really good one.

an elder who was serving for more than 30 years, faithfull to the organization at all means, has lost his privelage due to the wt education policy.

the reason was that he allowed his son to study at the university.

Dagney

In my old hall, several elders sent their kids to university. The dads are "super" doers...I don't think the WBTS would say anything to them. They would do what they want anyway.

But I think things are happening. I think losing elders for whatever reason will have an great impact on how the societyoperates. Who is going to run the meetings? Bring back the sister swith the doilys on their heads?

DF reform

by Dagney in

does anyone have the scoop on what may have been a recent attempt to reform df policy?.

Dagney

Sorry, not trying to be mysterious.

Sometimes ones post here with inside info direct from the Society, and I was hoping for some confirmation the policy had been up for review. I really just asked a question.

It's inappropriate for me to say anything more, other than no change is on the horizon.
