Laurie & Safe4Kids - It was nice meeting you. One thing I experienced at the March is - We are not in this alone. Our united efforts will not be in vain.
Peace my Sister - LL
the wts is so big on having the right to face your accusers that they force small children to confront their rapists.
after all if one is going to be accused of rape doesn't he have the right to face his accuser?
puke!

this was read and given to all media at the march.
the outrage is to great to express, who are these people?
silentlambs .
Thanks Bill -
They are missing the point and purposefully doing so (nothing new). Regardless of their current rhetoric - What about the many victims that were hurt, betrayed and terrorized due to their policies, written or implied? Where's the apology? Not only with the child abuse issues , but with the blood issues, civilian military service, failed prophecies, discouragement from attending college, etc. They are avoiding the issue again. I'm sure many of us can testify, myself included, that the Elders told the victims and their parents to 'leave it in the hands of Jah' or showed them the scripture that said 'don't take your brother to court, etc.' Bill, if I rememeber correctly, you even recorded the direction given to you from the Headquarters on the Dateline program.
People's lives were damaged or lost due to their polices and ignorance. Should we just act like it didn't happen, swept it under the rug, blame the victim, or blame the local elders for mishandleing the case? This isn't right - Accept Responsibility For Once! I hope the 'logic' that attracted the JW's to the BORG will be the same 'logic' that helps them to see the hypocrisy.
Thanks again for the update.

we've heard how some are convinced that loyal witnesses would do almost anything if they were told by the organization to do it.
some have even suggested killing if that's what was required.
how far would you have gone for the organization when you were in its clutches?
Mim - Regrettably I would have died for the BORG without hesitation. I would have refuse a blood transfusion for me or my family. In fact the few times that my wife was in the hospital, one of the first things out of my mouth was "I will not accept blood under any circumstances, it's a non negotiable stance." I would have consider any trial or tribulation as an honor for the BORG. Yes, I was hooked and thoroughly brainwashed. :-/ That's why the pain was so deep for me when I realize I was being lead astray, b/c I was ready to die or sacrifice my family for an illusion - and the shit almost happen. Whew - A tough road to go down.
