  From page 265 of Crisis of Conscience by Raymond Victor Franz. AFAIK, this was alredax included in the first edition, so long before the change of 1995 and of course 2008:

  The leadership had made numerous adjustments and now had few remaining options. There was the 1957 starting date for “this generation” proposed by members Schroeder, Klein and Suiter, but that seemed an unlikely choice. There was Albert Schroeder’s idea of applying the phrase to the ‘‘anointed’’ class (an idea that had been floating around the organization for many, many years) which offered certain advantages—there are always additional persons (some fairly young) who each year decide for the first time that they are of the “anointed” class.

  so the big "national " news release has come and gone.

  it was huge in that this time it definitely hit the ears and eyes of witnesses as well as others who know witnesses, or have relatives who are in it .

  on a " national " scale this is a lot of people.

  I got a reply from my father, Translation:

  If it is true or not - I do not care. There is no alternative, if this is true or not. This does not stop the caravan for a single second and this makes all you apostates including your spokesman Franz so angry.

  I answered with a quote from the Watchtower Aug 15th, 2002:

  "Our country: . . . May she always be right; but our country, right or wrong."—Stephen Decatur, U.S. naval officer, 1779-1820.

  UNQUESTIONING loyalty to one’s country is seen by many as their paramount obligation. Others would rephrase Stephen Decatur’s words, ‘My religion, may she always be right; but my religion, right or wrong.’

  Yes, and if they are required they use a phone booth and do not give any details. But they report. Because they are required.

  I wonder: if during the last 100 years, only eleven elders have been sued for child abuse, does this include the prominent ones that Watchtower Jan 1st, 1986 mentions on p 13 when it says:

  Shocking as it is, even some who have been prominent in Jehovah’s organization have succumbed to immoral practices, including homosexuality, wife swapping, and child molesting.

  by flipper in

  2. friends

  hello any bethel members or lurkers who might have an inside scoop.

  this is an honest plea for justice to you, if you have access to the secret database files which are being kept hidden by the governing body of jehovah's witnesses, would you please , in the name of true justice, please come forward and release those files to the news media.

  there are plenty of child molestation victims crying out for consolation in their lives and getting none whatsoever.

  Do you really think every Bethelite has access to this? Do you think the database is unattended these days?

  when you used to go in the field service, did you go out to have 2 more hours on your report, or did you really want to save somebody's life by preaching a message of salvation ?
