I'm glad you started this thread, because I've been thinking the same thing. Why are football coaches and college administrators held to a higher standard than the leaders of the Watch Tower? Granted, it's a small religion, but Penn State is one university. And it can't be about the US's hesitation to get involved with religion. The Catholic Church has been criminally investigated resulting in criminal charges for a few of the higher ups. When is it going to happen to the Watch Tower?

Louis Freed report on Penn State and how it is like the WTBTS
by harleybear inwow.
louis freed (retired fbi) released a 200 plus page independant report on the culpability of the upper rants of penn state in the sandusky case and it it was not flattering!!!!!
what struct me was the reference that the university knew of the wrong doing for over 14 year and did nothing about it with the excepiton of covering it up.

Positive energy needed
by JeffT inabout three years ago my wife went through a bout of problems with her eyes, double vision, trouble focusing and the like.
after weeks of going to specialists etc no one knew for sure what it was and after a few weeks it went away by itself.
a couple of weeks ago it came back along with some other symptoms, notably weakness and pain in her legs.

For those of you who do not believe in capital punishment...
by SixofNine inthat is, for those of you who actually think that executing children is wrong, what types of discipline do you find more effective?
i'm not a parent but when dealing with kids, i've seen that solitary confinements tend to make kids feel isolated and can really hurt them.
if they're near others and are checked up on frequently, it seems ok. but when they're completely ignored, that is just bad.

Do you mean corporal punishment? I don't know many people willing to perform capital punishment on their kids.

I've been enlightened.
by Emery inive been lurking for quite sometime and now feel the need to come and noob it up.
it's taken a lot to bring me to read anything critical of the wts.
i used to glance at these apostate sites and shutter in fear because of the obvious demonic venom that can be found :) i am still an active witness and have been in this struggle to stay both in and be removed mentally from this organization.

A little update on my family
by sooner7nc ina few of you may remember that my wife had a kidney transplant early last year.
since then the kidney has been incredible, giving her a new lease on life.
it's really been good to see the light in her eyes that i had missed for quite a long time.. the counterpoint to this good news is the problems we have had with our son coltin.

Fitting that it's USA's anniversary tomorrow and coming to my 2 year fade Anniversary
by dreamgolfer infriends,.
i can't tell you how nice it is to have this forum to read, write and meet others that have been through the "ringer" so to speak.. i was living in england in 1995 when the first "tingle happened" upon reading the wt and the generations kwap (in elmer fud accent so i dont give my identity away).
but because of a terrible family situation and at the time looking down the road of being a single parent...i basically put it out of my mind and i "soldiered on" so to speak.. then that ill fated dc of a few years ago spurred me to think..."overlaping generations" hmmmmmm lets give that some consideration.. after doing my homework, finding out about the un involvement, silent lambs (i did know about) blood fractions (oh yeah) reading ray franz book, listenting to no college for the last time and then finding out how the $$$ collection really works for circuit assemblies, and what they did to the jw's in spain when they pulled up and moved out, plus the issues that seem to always be "redirected" i was really peeved.

Happy Anniversary on your fade, and Happy 4th of July!!!!!!!!!! We're having a big party, as usual. About 100 people usually show up, but it may be smaller this year since it's mid-week.

A fun break from yard work today...
by Rocky_Girl ini'm outside in the 90 heat doing landscaping with my neighbor/ friend.
two women in dresses, nylons, and heels walked carefully across the newly tilled dirt to get to us and start their presentation.. woman 1: we are talking with your neighbors about the increase in crime lately.
do you worry about your safety?.

Oh, that's rich! You know that somewhere in the corners of those two ladies' minds, they're thinking about what was said.
