Good posts by all.........I choose to see the efforts of groups like Silent Lambs as part of the process of alerting government/legislative officials about the "widespread" problem of child abuse. And isn't that exactly what we are seeing. Within the cloistered arrangement of J.W.'s, more and more victims are now feeling safe about coming forward, thanks to the J.W. oriented work of Silent Lambs. As these numbers continue to grow, be assured that voter-conscience law makers will take note.

"Were any of them Witnesses?"
by kenpodragon init was a typical night at the local kingdom hall.
people were coming in and visiting, looking for seats and laying down publications to mark where they would sit.
people were shaking hands, and the conversation was mixed.

Hi Friends,
We were repeatedly told that our concerns about local molestation were just a "personality difference" with the perpetrator and his family. Looks like from the great pics that a number of little lambs have "personality differences" with perpetrators.
What an unbelievable, yet inevitable event!!! Congratulations to everyone. We absolutely laughed and cried over those pictures, and ROARED too!!
Thank you so much.
Love SloBoy and Spouse

'Prepare for Banning' A HOAX! READ INSIDE
by ashitaka inmy friend called me last night and said that his mother heard a letter read on monday night at her congregation meeting that said that the rank and file should be prepared to be banned, to go underground, and persecution is coming soon, that halls would be taken, and such.
that these things are definitely coming soon.
could this be the spin that the wt is heading towards.....instead of facing the hard issues, make the issues the boogeyman and shut down the halls, giving the elders ultimate power?

Welcome Undercover,
Yes, some of us are, at times "bitter and vindicative", but that's what can happen when going through the process of realizing how deceived we have been. You will learn a great deal on this site and it will bring comfort. Get Ray Franz's books and educate yourself, just as one would who has found that they have been living with a terrible disease.

Hey Sword,
How are you doing today? Things going O.K.? How's the family? Oh, by the way, could you do something for me? The Bible puts a real premium on getting the facts straight before replying to a matter, right?. Please go back and re-read my post. NOWHERE is there the encouragement to engage in or "excuse" sin. Buffy said that the sex was enjoyable, the Bible says sin can be enjoyable, though temporary. I'll leave it to God to sort out the sinners.

Thanks Hawkaw for the updates,
If the R&F witnesses could only hear how their spiritual shepherds are catagorized by WBTS lawyers. So different than the message troweled-on at the local K.H.

Sword,
I'm a little suspect about your initial "tone" re: Buffy's post. I didn't get the sense that she was boasting about her past. She certainly wasn't advocating that others follow her path. She was just being honest about her process. Doesn't the Bible speak about the "temporary enjoyment" of sin? Being honest about who we really are/were is O.K. Only then can we move to a healthier ( or if you prefer, more righteous) way of life, kinda like Buffy has.

The rise and fall of the Jehovah's Witness faith
by kenpodragon inoften in society we let every business and organization have there day.
it seems that we do not want to stifle freedom with endless restrictions, so we let people go to a point that will either bring success or failure.
the thing is, those are not always the results.

I am so thankful to have found this site. It has allowed me to see the "bigger picture" unfolding. What I know now more than ever is that principles monitor ALL situations. What's happening with the WBTS is just the outworking of universal consequences. I am learning an important lesson. Regardless of where the WBTS ends up, I myself will also not escape the outworking of these universal consequences. It's not anger-fueled punishment, just consequences. I liked what Sentinel said. Whatever comes "down", it's gonna be an individual "accounting". I will never be relieved of personal responsibility, no matter how religions end up. And I thank those of you on this site that have help me see the importance of true integrity.
