Craftily written.
Note "in the event of actual abuse" - and how do "we" (WT and any WT following drone) determine "actual abuse" - the two witness rule or confession of course.

by gerry injust doing research and came across this.. i know this is old however.
here we have a worldly organisation distributing pamphlets and warning parents about child abuse.. last point in particular.
3) inform the child that what happened is against the law and that it is necessary to report it to the police so that it will not happen again.. pretty straight forward if you ask me.. watchtower were happy to use that in their magazine.

Very good listen indeed.
Love hearing Tomo3 run away like the coward he is.
Can anyone say how large the audience for this is likely to be?

There Were TWO Child Molesters Hiding In My Old Congregation
by pale.emperor init's come out in my old congregation that, not one, but two child molesters have been hiding in my old congregation.
i knew both of them and one of them, an old man, was regularly at my house for field service meetings on a weekly basis.. in my old congregation there's an apostate who was awake long before i was.
unfortunately he cant leave because his wife and children and parents are still full on believers.

Maybe a handful of anonymous letters to a choice few of the local cong outlining the true facts might be helpful PE?

Elder wants to stop by with the CO for a visit .
by NikL inso i got a text from an elder who i consider one of the good guys and a friend in his own way.. he asked if he could bring the co by for a visit.
he said it would be "just a pleasant call and visit and will hopefully encourage my wife".
he says that "he knows she is dealing with a ton of pressure".. in all my years around the organization, i never had a visit from the circuit overseer.

@NikL "But seriously, what bad can result? I mean, what are they gonna do DF me? For nothing? Go ahead!
My wife might see what a bunch of BS it all is."
If you are very careful then you may well get your wife to see what a bunch of BS it all is; but I think the chances are very slim.
If you sound off about ARC/Generation/Moneygrabbing etc. then at some point you risk the question "Do you believe the FDS/GB is speaking for Jehovah?" question.
Unless you are prepared to lie through your teeth err ... use theocratic warfare then the "wrong answer" to this alone can result in them deciding you have DA'D in front of two witnesses.
If you are prepared to lie through your teeth and prepare well then why not?

Could be anything from a genuine caring call to a witch-hunt disguised as a "genuine caring call".
However "genuine" your elder friend is, he will dance to the CO's merry tune.
