I see LW already responded here. I posted on his FB page that people were asking about him. Now I'll go do the same thing with Zid.

Response to the notion that 'apostates like to pick at JHVH's organization'
by sd-7 ini was just thinking of something i read recently, a thread about the district convention talk, that mentioned how 'apostates' are always picking at 'the organization'.
i just had a thought about that.. pick up any copy of the watchtower or awake!
or any other publication the watchtower society publishes, and more than likely, in every single one of them, there will be several statements made against all other christian religions, all religions in general, or the scientific community so far as it conflicts with jehovah's witnesses' doctrines.

That's because the Watch Tower doesn't give a damn about truth. All the organization is interested in is money from the publications and kingdom and assembly halls, (all based upon the donation arrangement, don't ya know?). In order to get that money, the gb has to have control, and they'll spout any lie necessary to achieve it.

I don't know if he confessed about molesting Conti, but I read that he did confess about molesting his stepdaugher, (for which he was convicted) before he even moved to the congregation that Conti was attending. So the elders in both congregations and the society knew that he was a child molester. Yet the organization did nothing to keep him away from children in the congregation and the public at large while he was engaged in field service. Therefore the Watch Tower is responsible for his actions.

Jehovah's Witnesses to appeal jury verdict in California case
NEW YORK-Jehovah's Witnesses will appeal the decision of a California jury in a court case involving alleged acts of child abuse.
The jury rendered a multimillion-dollar damage award to a woman who claimed that she was molested as a child by a member of a local congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses. At trial, the plaintiff claimed that the policies of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society contributed to the alleged abuse. "We respectfully disagree with the jury's decision. This is the first time that an organization was found responsible for the alleged misdeeds of a member who held no position of leadership or authority," states James McCabe, an attorney representing Watchtower in the case. "We are very sorry for whatever harm this young lady may have suffered. However, the organization is not responsible. We now look to the Court of Appeals for a thorough review of this case."
J. R. Brown, a spokesman at the world headquarters of Jehovah's Witnesses, commented: "The fact that Jehovah's Witnesses abhor child abuse and strive to protect children from such acts is well-known. The individual members of any organization must ultimately bear the responsibility for their own actions, particularly when the acts are so flagrantly against the morals and principles of the organization and society."
BOLD is mine.
If they wouldn't have concealed that fact that he was a child molester, they wouldn't have been held responsible for the molestation. Period...end of story.

Purgatory and JWN
by wha happened? inwell hello everyone.. after some thought, i realized that i've created a middle world for myself, that is neither jw, nor included in the other 99% of the population.
in fact, living here in jwn is like a cong sometimes.
the rumours, the gossip, the clicks, it's all here, if that's what u want.. what's happened to me is that i'm almost in a jw state of mind with the small group mentality.

Strange that the society insists on adult men and women never being alone together, but the org has no problem allowing children to be alone with child molesters.

I grew up in western central Pennsylvania, and many of the jw men hunted...mostly grouse, rabbits, deer, and bears. My stepdad hunted fox and deer mostly and had several hunting rifles and shot guns. He used to sit in the yard and shoot groundhogs across the road at an Arabian horse farm. He also shot my cousin's and brother's dogs just for kicks. And nobody said a word. As a matter of fact, he made elder.
Just a suggestion: instead of shooting the rabbits in your garden with a bb gun, why not catch them in live traps and secretly drop them off at the old bitch's house. It would be funny to see her run over with them.
