Organised crime is ALWAYS harmful.
While organised religion is sometimes harmful.
That is as simple as I can put it.
my main problem with organised religion is when totalitarianism comes into play.
thats when you get institutions like the catholic church in its earlier years.
that should never be allowed.. jerome

You should have put a book bag over his shoulder.

however i have a question?.
in the call to the legal department at the watchtower did the person representing the watchtower identify himself by name?
Thats why I dropped it.

you know this problem is a lot bigger than just going to the police.
that is a huge part of it but there are other pieces.. first the two witnesses rule is absurd.
if you don't recognize that then you are absurd.. secondly the gag order placed on victims is absurd.. ---- scenario----.
So waiting
Youre saying that you couldent tell everyone about it openly but that you made it known on the down low right?
If so what was the reaction to those you told.
on another note:
I dident know that you were affected by this issue as well. It seems that this is really common
(((Wating)))

I always hear about alot of gossip within congregations.
And about elders wives getting in the know on judicial matters.
So how come the childmolesters arent gossipped about too?
i read a thread recently where syn was discussing a watchtower book study.. is it really true that they ask you the questions at the end of the chapter and make you restate the a few sentences directly from the few paragraphs that you just read as the anwser?.
was syn neglecting anything of importance that would be needed to make a more accurate assesment of the situation?.
because reading back something that youve just read dosent sound very challenging.
If anything I think that i'd attend the service/sales meeting. thats the one i'm really interested in.
I wanna see the little demonstrations that they put on to train the good little sheep to deal with non-JW people at the door like me.
