Anthony Morris III: "...we cannot control everything that an individual might say..."

by cappytan in

i noticed that anthony morris iii just said on the broadcast: "while we cannot control everything that an individual might say, it is clear that over the decades protecting children from abuse is a top priority for this organization.".

that, in my opinion, is a direct response to the richard ashe "spiritual protection not physical protection" deposition.. here's a video putting the two statements side by side.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgevpuyn7gy.

"Baby Pros and Kiddie Porn", really? That sounds obscene and sick.

It does, and maybe Leo Greenlees wrote it. It would seem he was somewhat of an expert in such things.

Do you have a JW hero?

by Island Man in

when i say jw hero i mean a jw who courageously did what was right despite the indoctrination and peer pressure to conform to cultishness.

i have an unknown jw hero that i've never met but only heard of from an experience relayed to me about an incident at a jw funeral.. i was told that at a jw funeral internment, a non-jw put a wreath in the shape of a cross on the grave.

shortly thereafter a jw elder came up and removed the wreath.

Ray Franz, Ed Dunlap, Rinehardt Lengtat, Chris Sanchez, Nestor Kuilan and their wives are all heroes in my book, even martyrs who suffered the abuses of a religious publishing house and real estate corporation that insists on placing themselves between God and men, and seeks to drain people out of their youth, their labor and their meager means of living.

Anyone who suffers from the abuses of the WT religion is a hero in my mind.

I won't share my personal view of the WT hierarchy since Russell down to the current GB7, but it ain't very pretty and I'd have to use words better not said in mixed company!

Splane and Morris Should Thank Raymond Franz, Their Organizational Father

the whole elder body teaching and governing body teaching was based on research by a well known "apostate" raymond franz.

franz wrote the aid book articles which gave rise to the changes made in the congregations and bethel.

knorr was deposed by the johnny come lately new governing body members who in turn gave birth to those in charge today.

Considering how Knorr treated Ed Dunlap, and also his opinions about women, and giving the "don't touch your pee-pee at Bethel talk", I have very little respect for that WT President.

I'm sure most publishers will just nod their heads in aggreement.

Only the ones who've suffered and the enabler elders and CO's will know better.

The 700 Club has better sets.

Agreed. But you've got to remember the WT did it as a rush job and on the cheap.

That's clearly the Patronus charm in action. That man just saved himself from a Dementor! The writer is obviously a huge Harry Potter fan.

Wow! You're right, but I think the WT version is way more dangerous than Harry Potter!

Even the programming which includes anchorman type introductions, mini-talks, interviews, sad stories, triumph stories, and indoctrinating animated religious lessons for children.

Oh and I almost forgot, begging for money!

Seems like they've got it all copied and implemented.
