  i been reading quite a few experiences on reddit lately, and their seems to be a common theme coming up….

  …dialed-up-to-eleven shunning of xjws by their witness relatives.. it reminds me of back in the day, listening to some of the over-the-top vitriol displayed by hard-core loyalists when the topic of evolution or apostates came up….

  …i was gobsmacked when i finally realized these guys weren’t offended and indignant because they thought it was lies….

  redsetter2 - “…The Great Tribulation will be the ‘end’ of JWs, whether it's in the way they expect it (Jehovah destroying the wicked governments and preserving JWs alive) or the last resort of them shutting things down (over CSA or other horrible scandals)… There's no doubt that JWs will always have a ‘plan b’ for everything.”

  Hmph.

  Setting themselves up to be shut down? Some “Plan B”.

  Sounds more like the most passive-aggressive suicide pact in history.

  🙄

  Makes me wonder what other possible “horrible scandals” could there actually be…

  …’cause institutionalized CSA doesn’t leave much more room at the top.

  ThomasMore - “What they fail to understand is that shunning me is a gift.🎁”

  That’s because loyalist True Believers can’t really grasp that these days, more and more XJWs stay away, not because they’re weak, stubborn, or “sinful”…

  …but because they’ve genuinely concluded it’s not The Truth, and want to avoid an environment that’s becoming increasingly toxic to them.

  re. DNcall‘s post…

  That actually rings a bell.

  It’s been a while since I read Barb Anderson’s story, but I do seem to recall her mentioning that Jaracz was a primary opponent.

  Don’t recall her ever suggesting that Jaracz was an offender, though…

  …the first time I ever heard that allegation was when I read this:

  TonusOH - “…And it took an exJW to turn over the evidence that the congregations had…”

  That’s gotta feel weird AF for any still-in believers who, nonetheless, would still actually want sex crimes legitimately punished (and yes, those believers do exist).

  not sure if this was posted yet but the second gb member has been spotted with more than a mustache, and the first one going for a full beard (at about 3 minutes into the video):.

  “…so basically, the fox was put in charge of the henhouse, but not permitted to scrub his own name, so he essentially weaponized the two-witness rule to keep his own alleged acts under wraps, resulting in the problem becoming widespread, institutionalized, and unfixable under the current system…”

  I just remembered…

  …there was a particular GB member that Jaracz had a long-standing grudge against. Maybe he’s the one who made sure Ted couldn’t delete his own name from the DB.

  Anybody remember his name?

  And didn’t another insider once hint that Jaracz had essentially sabotaged or doomed the Org (unwittingly or otherwise)?

  I’d always wondered what that meant… maybe it was this.

  ThomasMore - “…Ted was on the list…”

  Was? Or is?

  The list still exists.

  ThomasMore - “Has WTC paid into the scheme for victims?”

  As of now?

  Not a cent.

  Just assume all the news, good or bad, is fake, and you’re covered. 😁
