  Did anyone here ever see that old PSA from 2002?

  I was serving as an elder at the time. I never saw it nor did I ever hear about it. That being said, it is really addressing pedophiles OUTSIDE of the congregation, not INSIDE.

  ToMo is deflecting the real issue.

  Also, that new PSA is good in that it encourages young ones how to react if someone does something inappropriate and makes them feel uncomfortable in any way, but it still fails to address the problem of pedophiles in the organization!

  Hey Tony, howze about making a PSA that tells all of the R&F JWs and the elders to report any and all acts of child abuse to the police? I dare you to do the right thing? Can you?

  I doubt it. Deep down, you're a hypocrite and a coward.
  

  Let's review: It's a cult!

  What a bunch of bullshit propaganda. The so-called "New Morality" he talks about has nothing, repeat NOTHING, to do with pedophilia.

  It's just another bullshit diversionary tactic by ToMo.

  One word: SPIN!

  ToMo, Victims "should never be discouraged from reporting the incident [abuse] to the appropriate authorities."

  Why aren't they ENCOURAGED to do so?

  Oh, I know! Let's review: It's a cult!

  What Can Circuit Overseers Who Come To Know The Truth About The Truth Do To Cripple The Delusional Watchtower Corporation?

  well it is only natural to assume that a modest number of cos&wives, bethelites, and other people are becoming enlightened shall we say as to the real sinister nature of these sociopaths called the faithful and discreet governing body slave bull shit artist.. so what besides making secret documents public can these do to get some type of satisfactional revenge for being used by them in such a cruel way or like a smuck who they don't even give one shit about.

  what can these ladies and men do?

  how can they get some form of pay back for all the years they wasted slaving for these no good greedy bastards called the governing fucking body?

  BW: I have no legal theory? I don't know law do you?

  I am not a lawyer, but I did work as a paralegal for several years and learned quite a few things.

  
  One important fact is that there is often a big disconnect between what is wrong and what is illegal. If something is not against any laws there is precious little a person can do about it using the legal system.

  RC musings - my impressions

  by Doubting Bro in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so i went to the rc this past weekend and have a few observations:.

  1 - use of videos - most parts had some sort of video prop.

  they ranged from awkward (an example was on friday where they showed scenes of nature without a real purpose other than god made this) to very well done.

  DB: The only weapon in their arsenal is guilt.

  Don't forget, they also use Fear and False Hope.
  

  DB: Again, they can't wrap their minds around why someone would leave or fade so they figure it must be Satan. Instead of taking an honest look that their teachings and the atmosphere of the congregations, they essentially blame the individual that they aren't grateful enough.

  You really nailed it with this comment. It's just not in their toolkit to even consider that THEY COULD BE THE PROBLEM!
  

  DB: Lett is insane. Seriously what is wrong with that dude and why do they continue to trot him out?

  No, you gotta love this guy. He actually was one of the biggest reasons I came to conclude this religion could not be "The One True Religion." I used to watch (actually I couldn't even look at him, he's such an idiot) him give talks at DCs and concluded that there is no way in hell that any kind of a god would ever choose Lett to represent anything!

  BW, what's your legal theory?

  You sound like you are wishing rather than strategizing based on any particular legal precedent.

  Have you heard of Martin Luther? He started the Protestant Reformation. The Catholic Church is still here.
  

  BW: is there something illegal in the required signing of such a document and then throw a person out after years of faithful service to corporation causes?

  Immoral and unethical? Yes. Illegal? No.

  Advice Needed - JW Grandparents

  by What Now? in

  2. experiences

  my family has been out (inactive no meeting attendance or field service) for just over two years..

  weve made many changes in our lives, including with our personal appearances (tattoos, piercings etc) that are a pretty obvious sign that we arent going back any time soon.

  our families went through a period of time about a year ago when they made a lot of threats that if we left the truth, they wouldnt even be able to share a meal with us, they would stay loyal to jehovah etc.

  It is quite a dilemma to be in.

  Not really. Tell your mom that she can of course be herself around your kids, but you do NOT want her trying to indoctrinate or teach them religious beliefs.

  It's called respect. Real respect is a mutual thing. It's time for mommy to enter the world of grown-ups.
