Ecclesiastes 3:1 "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven" and "everything" covers the Two Witnesses rule Brooklyn says justifies their not doing more to protect the congregations and the kids. Besides which a man's guilt in crime needs left to the courts for James says not to be formally judging people. Formal judging had been done prior to Christ, but he fulfilled Mosaic Law and it was set aside, but even when it was in effect the formal judging was done openly by elders hearing cases before the town gate where all could see and hear. Criminal matters are biblically put into the hands of Caesar, i.e. the secular police and courts. The Watchtower Society's disobediance to the Bible (Ro 13:1) heaps reproach on Jehovah's grand name, making the current Governing Body "apostates."

P.S. Your subject heading was in the plural (with -s) but you only mentioned one pedophile. Are there others there? Do you know or just guessing?

Most were in some other church before converting to the Watchtower Society, and the largest other church is Roman Catholicism.

The Bible: It does'nt make sense
by Leander inas i was exercising this morning i was thinking about my decision to step down as a ministerial servant and also to stop attending religious functions of any kind.
i've often felt that jws were somewhat flawed in their interpertation of the scriptures, but this morning it kind of hit me all at once that no 2 religions are going to have the exact same beliefs even though both religions might be using the same translation of the bible.
this disturbing fact raises quite a few thought provoking questions:.

By obvious you mean incredibly hard to believe. Even in 1970 many would have found cloning of humans hard to believe. In the 1800s it would have definitely been a miracle. The same of TV, email, radios. Cough.

Don't expose yourself, simply mail some informative letters to non-elders in the congregation who in turn will show them to the elders too. Also to beautificians etc in the public and people living next door. Be totally accurate. Sign them Concerned JW.

JW's will become more IMMORAL after Exposer of...
by D wiltshire in.
jw's will become more immoral after exposer of...gb on pedophile issue by dateline and bbc's panarama.. the reason being that many will reason if the gb can get themselves in trouble heck!
i might as well get mine too since jehovah is so forgiving as to let them stay in office.. what do you think?.

No, most will say the GB has apostasized by supporting pedophilia. They will not pretend the GB's doing something so evil would justify their doing anything evil too. That's ridiculous.

I did indeed answer the questions that those of you who are atheists are trying to dance away. To each their own. If you are going to be atheists and also into paganism or witchcraft as Rhavin is, then I just pray you may somehow still be fairly decent humans.

He erred in calling God silly and needed to have said "your silly little Jehovah organization," thus putting the emphasis or blame not on God but the men who misled you and so many of us too, including our children whom they allow to be raped by pedophiles so freely. His mischoice of wording probably stiffened your determination.

Sucides-WT-mental illness
by moman inwhen questioning the rate of sucides among jw's & how the #'s compare to the general population , i believe these things are of worthy to note:.
the "high wire act".
the whole demeanor of the rank& file jw is bred from a impossibly awkward & fabricated persona.

Scootergirl, you're welcome.
Amazing, you heard wrong. The studies are solid or the professionals who had to review and consider if to publish Bergman's article would not have published them. And these aren't Bergman's "own" studies but studies he is referring to. The WTS has gone to big lengths on this board and H2O to disseminate the idea that these studies are "weak." Guess why.
Amazing, I do agree it is likely that there are so many JWs with mental health problems not only because of the WTS but also because many who are depressed have been drawn to the nicer seeming aspect of "living forever in perfect health on a paradise earth." There's nothing to matter with this good belief, though, but every thing to matter with the cult's pressure, pressure, pressure, deceptions so common it's called "theocratic warfare" and the like.

Those exiting the Watchtower can go to:
#1) Christ as an independent Christian
#2) Other exJWs and Friends associating mostly via the internet and in private homes http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jahchristian/pending Our informal fellowshipping is based on unity from LOVE (Colossians 3:14) rather than forced sameness of beliefs
#3) Some other church group hopefully moderate rather than high control, harsh and rigid meaning another dangerous cult
#4) Maybe some day a more formal group that exJW elders and servants could form, although don't hold your breath
