  well, i finally made an account.

  i’ve been lurking on here for four or so years, enjoying the debates and experiences of all of you.

  it really helped in that initial year after i woke up, when the frustration and betrayal felt strongest.

  Regarding the Special talk given the week before the memorial
  
  

  Since the Special Talk will be a revised version of Talk No 56 "Into the New World under Christ's leadership" the current version should not be presented after 1st September, 2019

  
  This would suggest that there is going to be New Light given. It always amuses me that they have new teachings but don't present them straight away, resulting in the fact that they are happy to teach false doctrines until they are ready to present them at their own given time.

  The indoctrinating was bad enough years ago when there were just books and magazines. I can't imagine what it is like for JWs these days with all these emotional videeos being shown.

  Ashley Colllins - Of course child abusers are not true jws, because I think those would never do this

  
  If that were the case then they wouldn't need their Judicial Committees. But they have plenty of JCs. They also have a system that they will forgive a JW of their serious sin, including child abuse, if they think they are repentant.
  
  All JWs sin, some worse than others.

  Ashley Collins could you please advise what a normal JW is?

  You seem very confused. On the one hand you say child abuse is a problem in every religion and on my he other hand you say child abusers are not JWs. So which on is it, the first or the second?

  Is the Governing Body under estimating the volume of those waking up?

  with all the scandals of the organization, it would .

  be sound and logical from a human or strategic viewpoint,.

  that they loosen the reins of control and be more honest with its members.

  It looks like the Watchtower's defence is that JWs can do what they want and they are just upholding bible principles. It's interesting because that it how the Government works. A citizen has the ability to do whatever they want but the Government establishes laws and imposes punishment on those breaking the law.

  my wife told me that the wt conductor said in in the strongest most emphatic way.

  that all child abusers will now be reported to the authorities whether there are 2 witnesses or not!

  and this is new thinking!

  Leveltheplayingfield, that's not what the Watchtower was looking for. They are careful about things not backfiring like that. At least it brings home the fact that it is a real problem within the congregation and parents need to be careful as to whom they can trust.
