Another non-JW reacts to Sparlock video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-ssv2nh0rc.

and two weeks ago i highlighted another video where sparlock helped an ex-mormon.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmesmlhydru.

though it still depresses me to think of all the young ones (including my own relatives) falling under the influence of this dangerous piece of propaganda, it's at least some small comfort that the sparlock video is backfiring so dramatically among thinking non-jws.. .

I have also published an article on the lawsuit on this link: http://jwsurvey.org/cedars-blog/under-siege-watchtower-hit-with-fresh-child-abuse-lawsuit
And here are links to relevant documents/web pages...
I know when news of the Candace Conti victory broke last year, we were quick to give Candace our messages of support for her bravery in coming foward. I am sure Elizabeth will be checking this forum and will be heartened if we can show her similar appreciation for her courage in pursuing Watchtower for the harm done to her for the benefit of Witness children everywhere, and not just her.

I think there is a way to link your transcript in Youtube - it helps with SEO and also deaf people can read it.
Thanks, great suggestion. I've put a link in the description. If you had something more sophisticated in mind, please let me know!

Among other things, I have revisted the handbill used to promote this convention, which poses a rather ironic question on its cover...

Thanks everyone. There are some great comments on the video. I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds it a truly disgusting and heartless piece of propaganda.

Did you happen to have a transcript? I want to include part of it in a letter.
Sadly I didn't produce a transcript. I wanted to get the recording up on YouTube as quickly as possible after I found it, so the only transcription I did was for the individual subtitles.

Would it be fair to describe his work as apologetic in nature?
That's a great question. I get the feeling from what I've read that there will be more than a hint of apologetics in this book. Maybe the authors or Old Goat can clarify?
