They think they are untouchable. I’ve known a few like that in my own, real life. It’s as though a wicked entity is protecting them from experiencing negative repercussions from their actions. And it is very annoying to see them gloat.

Two days ago, I found a lesser-known video of Barbara Anderson. This one is called Barbara Describes New Changes to "Two Witness Rule". It’s three years old, the same as her “My History” video, but this one is entirely dedicated to the subject of CSA.

Like the books and videos of Ray Franz, hearing about Watchtower’s graft and corruption in handling CSA from Barbara Anderson is powerful because of her first-hand knowledge.
I realize that this thread is not primarily about CSA. However, a supposed “activist” has been cashing in on being able to mesmerize the unwary into paying him to lead them. When that “activist” became so enamored of himself that he bragged of his illicit exploits, people who have consciences decided to state their shock and disapproval.
Barbara’s video is only nine minutes long. So review it if you’ve got an extra nine minutes.

Thanks, JeffT. The Service Desk men give advice, but won’t give their names.

Back on page 581, “was a new boy” posted a link to Mark O’Donnell’s website. https://www.jwchildabuse.org/news/jehovahs-witnesses-post-mandatory-reporting-training-instructions-existing-policies-unchanged/
On that site is a new (Oct 4) article about an online Illinois government training on CSA that elders are being told by the Society to take. Of interest, there’s no change in the protection Watchtower provides JW pedophiles. Also, elders are instructed by Watchtower to identify themselves on the training “sign up” as “religious volunteers” and for them to answer the question, “Who is your employer?” by saying “none”. Basically, that will protect Watchtower legally and leave the elders exposed to lawsuits and prosecution. Any wife of any elder should think about the repercussions to her and her children if her “elder” husband gets fined or imprisoned because of following Watchtower-Bethel’s-service-desk orders which go against state law.

There truly is wickedness in the world. Watchtower is one kind of “wicked”. But just because we’ve gotten free of Watchtower doesn’t mean that we can run outside and begin embracing everyone.

Thanks for the explanation, DerekMoors.

”She also did a phone interview with Lloyd after her show was cancelled so they were all in touch somehow after that one episode.”
I didn’t know that Leah Remini’s show had been “cancelled”. I remember that it had sounded like she was going to expose more groups and perhaps do a sequel on JWs, but then I never saw any more shows from her. How was the cancelling of her show announced and who was in charge of cancelling it? What a shame that she wanted to do more, but couldn’t.

Every wall in my house has something wrong with it. Lol.
Thanks for the equipment report, LMsA.
On the WT deaf videos front,... “On November 14, 2014, Jehovah’s Witnesses began relocating their American Sign Language (ASL) translation team to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, from the Watchtower Educational Center in Patterson, New York.” ...quoting the org.
Watchtower has gone “all out” to dominate the “deaf videos” scene. My guess is that “helping the deaf” bolsters Watchtower’s claim to some tax exemption. We know that Watchtower isn’t interested in “helping the deaf”, any more than they want to help the rest of humankind.
P.S. I did laugh at Betty Humpter’s post. :) That’s a typical Judge Judy facial expression, btw,... for those who don’t see her on TV.

"Again, this focus on high production quality over actual changes in content is what is plaguing WT right now and he’s falling into the same repeating cycle."
Please tell me more about this, if you don't mind. I want to make an exjw video for the deaf. My "competition" is Watchtower's, extravantly well-funded, video center in Florida.

LMsA, I hadn't heard that Knorr was a big drinker.
