Maybe they are getting the instructions to get up and walk away whenever anyone approaches them with the news on child abuse??
I really think it's a subject that really gets to them.
please pardon if this a repeated topic.
i have had virtually no contact with any witnesses beside my mother for the past few years.
she watches tv constantly and claims she has never seen anything on the watchtower abuse cases.

i learned this past week that my wife is now awake.
i just shared the pbs newshour segment with her with no comment other than something along the lines of, "jw story on pbs.".
she is furious at the arrogance of these men.. thats what happens when you get a momma angry!.
so i had about had enough of reading jw's excuses online about wt child abuse and the candace conti nightline abc video about her case.
this is a really deep burning topic to me as i'm sure it is to many of you.
so today the gloves came off.
Great job Flipper!!
The cognitive dissonance is working overtime with JWs right now.
i was at a criminal trial all day in murfreesboro, tn, involving the notorious jw who i call "mommy molester," angela montgomery.
this is the reason i didn't know until this evening that the nightline program with the segment on jws was changed until tomorrow night.
(i forgot my phone.
I think people deal with abuse in the way they deal with it. Some can talk in detail about what happened without negative consequences and others can't.
I know my daughter wasn't given a choice when it came to talking in detail to the police and lawyers. It was needed for a conviction.
But a news reporter?? Nope, they don't need the horrible details to do a story, they just need to know she was molested period.
I thought Candace did a great job.
even though we have agreed to not speak religion, i thought this was something she would want to see, especially because she knows the struggles we have been through because of what happened to our daughter.
after watching it she actually agreed things need to change in their policy's and that the congregation should be warned.. she also said kendrick and his wife made fools of themselves.. i have a feeling more witnesses then not would agree with her....however, how they feel and what they do about it is two very different things.
they are completely powerless in their religion!

It takes all of us wicked apostates to force the hands of their leaders through criminal trials and civil lawsuits. They should be thanking Candace Conti instead of vilifying her.
andrea montgomery was found guilty as charged on each of the 6 charges of child rape of her biological son, alan von webb, the oldest boy of four children.
today, many media people were there in the courtroom for the first time since the trial started.. the verdict came in about 3:30 p.m. which took time for the judge to read, etc., so i learned about it at 4 p.m. when the father of the four children, now young adults, called us.
one of the children has down's syndrome, and it's difficult to imagine, but he also was raped since a child by his mother.
What a touching photo.
I personally know that horrible feeling while waiting to hear the jury's verdict.
I'm so happy for Von Webb family, I hope this is the beginning to a very happy future for them all.

Those young adults are very brave, I'm sure it was very difficult to have to talk about everything in detail. I hope she gets a very long sentence.
Thank you for the update Barbara.

I'm glad she was convicted! I'm kinda surprised the names
of the victims were mentioned in the article, I thought they were protected?
Wow!! That was some great coverage! I loved how they confronted Kendrick with his wife looking like she just got home from service. I can't believe she said " he did his time for that crime" referring to the fact he molested her granddaughter! What a weak sad women defending her piece of garbage husband!
Candace did such an amazing job with this report, she truly is making a huge impact with getting this out to the media. Thank you Candace you are paving the way for hopefully many more survivors to do the same.
