Dub
Why deal in hypotheticals?
Are there actually between 100 and 500 children abused in each county who are discouraged from going to police?

Why aren't the JDubs receiving more bad publicity concerning the abuse cover-ups?
by Sour Grapes ini know that the jdubs think that they are the center of the universe and in actuality, no one except ex-jdubs gives a rats ass about these religious crazies.
my question is i read that as a percentage of pedophiles per members, that the percentage is larger in the watchtower company than in the catholic church.
i would think that would catch someones attention in the media and make a good story.. what really pisses me off is the watchtower cult is gloating about all of the negative press the catholics are receiving concerning pedophiles not even knowing that the jdubs have thousands of sexual abuse cases that have been covered over.

Forget the FAQ. I linked one better. I posted a link a video at convention the public was invited to attend, which advocated shunning, of a daugter, who was shunned for 15 years. That video is on the website as well, publicly available.
The videos does a better job because it allowes visualization of it.
A 2017 WT, available on the website, said shunning applies to family.

Well, morph, we will just agree to disagree. We are at an impasse.

I’m arguing that “dumbed down” is a relative term. It is.

I can tell you about newspapers I read — they never talk over my head, and I do not have a college education. People with advanced degrees will definitely say it’s dumbed down for me and the dumb masses.
But you’re gonna criticize WT no matter what they do, so why should they care about your ideas?

I’d argue that society as a whole is “dumbed down” because of how we receive information. We get it quick, fast, and therefore, little thought and effort is required to get it. And even less thought is put into analyzing it. So people are too lazy intellectually to take the time to read a book to find what they’re looking for — just “google” it.
Who knows? WT is responding to a clear trend?

Eh, everyone has a different level of intelligence. People smarter than you have to “dumb down” concepts you don’t grasp, and you, for someone else, and them, for another person. So in reality, it’s all relative, and thus, nothing more than childish name-calling.

I do appreciate your rebuttal.
But newspapers also talk to everyone. The sports section talks to people who know sports. The business sections talks to people who are into business, and each section uses language and concepts familiar to that target audience.
Why can’t WT do the same thing?
