  POEMS OF DAWN: page 299
  PRIDE GOETH BEFORE DESTRUCTION A King in procession had come to the town,
  Riding an ass that was playing the clown:
  For as people hailed and saluted their King
  And started in joy his great praises to sing,
  The ass made a curtsy and smiled and bowed
  And say down and salute the worshipping crowd.
  The King in his rage had the ass fully stripped,
  And there on the street had him publicly whipped. Which reminds us of some that our Master has used
  Who, puffed up with pride, their office abused;
  And not honoring Him in all their ways,
  They took to themselves His honor and praise-
  But pride brings destruction or something quite near it,
  And so they were stripped of the Truth and its spirit;
  For they are devoid of true wisdom, alas
  Who possess the audacity of the ass!
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The year 1925 is a date definitely and clearly marked in the
  Scriptures, even more clearly than that of 1914. WT 7/15/1924,p.211 Therefore we may confidently expect that 1925 will mark the return of
  Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and the faithful prophets of old Millions Now
  Living Will Never Die (1920) pp. 89-90, Joseph F. Rutherford
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ J.F.Rutherford quoted in The Watchtower-October 1, 1984, Bottom of page
  24 *Regarding his misguided statements as to what we could expect in
  1925, he once confessed to us at Bethel, I made an ass of myself.

  Witness To Shame
  Ripple effects: Another religion faces a scandal of its own
  By Julie Scelfo
  NEWSWEEK
  June 24 issue As Roman Catholic bishops issued a
  mea culpa last week, Jehovahs Witnesses, a
  cloistered group of 980,000, moved closer to
  facing a sex-abuse scandal of their own. In January
  a woman from Sacramento, Calif., filed a lawsuit
  charging that church leaders knowingly failed to
  notify civil authorities that she was raped by a
  member of her congregation.
  A FORMER CHURCH leader in Maryland was indicted in February for
  sexually assaulting three women who say they were told by elders not to report
  the abuse, and were excommunicated when they did. After additional stories aired
  recently on TV, a victims support group run by William H. Bowen was deluged
  with e-mails and phone calls. Catholics only protect the priests. Jehovahs
  Witnesses do it for any member of the church, says Bowen, a former elder from
  Kentucky.
  Sara Poisson says that prior to her husbands conviction for sexually abusing
  her daughters, church elders told her to pray more and be a better wife. Church
  spokesman J. R. Brown says the group instructs local leaders to notify police
  when required by law. They also conduct their own investigation: That consists of
  going directly to the accused. If someone confesses, says Brown, he will be
  prohibited from going door-to-doorunless accompanied by another Witness.
  Brown points out that people who accuse the church are often lapsed
  Witnesses, and open prey for exploiters. (Emphasis added by me!
  Arrrrggghhhh!) But victims like Poissons daughter, Heather Berry, 20, say its
  the church that does the exploiting. Theyre letting the kids down. I dont think
  theres anything Christian about allowing abuse to continue.

  Hans and others of his kind can write all the letters they want, this does not change the issue that children have been molested within the realm of the WT and that many of these molestations were not reported to the authorities.
