So, they had no obligation to let their "flock" know there was a wolf in the congregation? Even though the man CONFESSED his crime to them? Some shepherds they are. More important to protect secrecy than to protect the flock.

if they were able to win on this ground, they could get out completely (although it could still be appealed to the ca supreme court).

I think the name is unfortunate (anti-watchtower), negative vibe, but otherwise I applaud you. I posted the link on my facebook page.
I totally agree with the five important issues you have selected as your focus.

male/male sex is one thing. Adult/child sex is entirely another thing and is morally reprehensible no matter what culture it exists in. I wasn't talking about male/male sex, so don't try to change the subject. I was talking about a culture that allows adults to prey on little boys.

I've read a lot of stuff the DL has written, much of it very meaningful. However, I have lately come to realize that in one significant way he is like the pope -- he's the head of an international organization that shelters pedophiles. Look it up -- it's a very common practice in those monasteries, and I haven't heard yet that the DL has spoken out against it at all.

what exactly is an independent mind, from WT pov?
by cptkirk inis this just basically another way to say, we dislike the fact that we aren't able to control you as easily as we would like to?
or is there actually some precept which reflects this notion somewhere?
obviously from their pov if you say that you believe in the trinity, that is independent from their pov, but they would never even get to that because you would already be df'ed for apostasy.
