Operative word, corporation. The gag orders, etc., more ass-covering moves.

Its about the enablers, not the abuse It's about the coverups not the crime
by avishai inthis was a phrase spoken by a woman on abc news tonight, re: the catholic sex abuse scandal.
i love this phrase, especially when applied to the jw's and their spokesmen's regular denials that they had anything to do with the abuse.
no, they did'nt order their members to molest children.

Who teaches hate?
“The obligation to hate lawlessness also applies to all activity by apostates. Our attitude toward apostates should be that of David, who declared:“Do I not hate those who are intensely hating you…” Watchtower 1992 July 15 pp.12-13 Christ Hated Lawlessness—Do You?
“Apostasy is, in reality, a rebellion against Jehovah. Some apostates profess to know and serve God, but they reject teachings or requirements set out in his Word. Others claim to believe theBible
, but they reject Jehovah’s organization and actively try to hinder its work. When they deliberately choose such badness after knowing what is right, when the bad becomes so ingrained that it is an inseparable part of their makeup, then a Christian must hate those who have inseparably attached themselves to the badness. True Christians share Jehovah's feelings toward such apostates; they are not curious about apostate ideas. On the contrary, they "feel a loathing" toward those who have made themselves God's enemies, but they leave it to Jehovah to execute vengeance." Watchtower 1993 October 1 p.19
“Haters of God and his people are to be hated, but this does not mean that we will take any opportunity of bringing physical hurt to them in a spirit of malice or spite, for both malice and spite belong to the Devil, whereas pure hatred does not. We must hate in the truest sense, which is to regard with extreme and active aversion, to consider as loathsome, odious, filthy, to detest. Surely any haters of God are not fit to live on his beautiful earth. The earth will be rid of the wicked and we shall not need to lift a finger to cause physical harm to come to them, for God will attend to that, but we must have a proper perspective of these enemies. His name signifies recompense to the enemies. Watchtower 1952 October 1 p.599Watchtower Study, June 7, 2009
Great stuff.
Paragraph 15: Satan was the first creature to turn apostate. Modern-day apostates display characteristics similar to those of the Devil. Their mind may be poisoned by a critical attitude toward individuals in the congregations, Christian elders, or the Governing Body.
Some apostates oppose the use of the divine name, Jehovah. They are not interested in learning about Jehovah or in serving him. Like their father, Satan, apostates target people of integrity.(John 8:44) -

Recently disfellowshipped prominent Assembly overseer in Western Europe now speaking out against the Watchtower org.
by the research lady informer elder, and assembly overseer roberto from france will be joining barbara and joe anderson on tonight's conference call, july 18,2009. roberto was disfellowshipped in june 2009 and after many faithful years of service is now joining thousands of others who are speaking out against the evils of the watchtower organization.
our call tonight will be focused on how the country of france, as well as other european countries are investigating jehovah's witnesses.
the watchtower organization is experiencing difficulties in these countries for the inhumane treatment and exerting too much control over people's lives.

I am right, mouthy, not because of any affiliation I might have but because in order for all to enjoy complete freeness of speech on this board it is essential for some to maintain anonymity.
And why is that? Could'nt be that the WTS will shitcan you and make your family shun you if you speak your mind, or question, etc..
Noooo, that would be just awful....

Defining "race".
by lurk3r inif we enter into a "new world" with no boundries, and people mix freely in a "perfect world", with no regard for race or a particular ethnicity, what will the world become?
how and where would everything settle out genetically in the stream of time?.

We'd have a hell of a lot less genetic diseases.
