Blame the imperfect people not the organization?
by Ghiagirl ini met with a good family friend of mine who is a jw but will still hang out with me...apparently after this last time trying to encourage me.
lol.
but i shared a fraction of how i feel about the organization not to disrespect his beliefs, he just went off on the usual well it's an organization run by imperfect men and you can let the people affect you and need to remember it's the right religion and we need to put all that aside.

I think many of us have been where you are. It's very frustrating trying to reason with those who literally have a generic answer to everything...imperfect men, persecution, media lies, ex Jw's lie and the catch all " just wait on Jehovah" -

I'm amazed by the strength of the younger generation of ex JW's!
A couple of years ago my daughter stood up in front of her class and did a poetry slam about what she went through with the elders after she was molested. It was much shorter with less details but it was very brave of her.
I truly think these young ones are going to reach so many with their voice.

Wow!! She really touched on everything that's wrong with their claim of JW's being a "loving" organization and did so in a very touching way.
I was wiping away tears as she spoke, very powerful!

We all have in one way or another have been shafted by this religion and Trust me I know it hurts like hell!!
Just try to remember that through all the pain and distress you have a light at the end of it, while those that stay have a never ending life of never ever being good enough to deal with.

“We are not done yet!” – Candace Conti reacts to appeal court decision
by Watchtower-Free inhttp://jwsurvey.org/cedars-blog/we-are-not-done-yet-candace-reacts-to-appeal-court-decision.
candace conti (pictured in her interview with abc) has spoken out for the first time about the appeal court decision.
as current and former jehovahs witnesses digest the news that watchtowers appeal against the candace conti verdict has faltered, albeit with the punitive element of the judgment reversed, candace has reacted for the first time by telling me: we are not done yet.. news spread on monday that the state appeals court in san francisco had upheld the $2.8 million compensatory damages in the original june 2012 verdict, but overturned the $8.6 million punitive award against watchtower.. the court decided that, though watchtower had neglected its responsibility to supervise known pedophile jonathan kendrick in field ministry, a church-sponsored activity, the organization had no duty to warn parents in the congregation that a pedophile was in their midst or report him to authorities.. an insightful report by investigative reporter trey bundy has suggested that the court reached its decision because the precedent set by the conti verdict might be too burdensome to enforce.. the burden would be considerable because the precedent could require a church to intervene whenever it has reason to believe that a congregation member is capable of doing harm, and the scope of that duty could not be limited with any precision, the judges wrote.. candaces attorney rick simons responded by pointedly telling bundy: they think in public policy terms that theres too much risk in broadening the churchs responsibility and liability so that it burdens what churches do.
