I've never been a JW and wouldn't suggest you speak for non-JW's.
Why is your priority set on defending 7 men and it's corrupt immoral policies versus having compassion and an eagerness to defend these children who've grown into adults and have suffered their entire lives? "Worldly" people don't pay much attention to JW's, and if you bring up the organization, overall they're referred to as "That weird religion who are like salespeople" or "Mind control cult". Yet, there's still a sense of sympathy for the members who've been so easily misled. The irony is the members are clearly under undue influence attempting to hold up teachings built on a stack of cards by a series of corrupt men who control your entire lives and thoughts - convincing you it's the other way around...
Who's controlled by satan? Worldly organizations who shed light out of genuine care for the safety of children onto the darkness WTS has tried to hide, or WTS who's more concerned about it's reputation and doesn't want the darkness exposed? I mean, is your god really that small where he's concerned about the reputation of his earthly name versus thousands of children being raped, sodomized and gagged with male body parts? Or are these 7 leaders bullshitting you?
If you're so proud of your organization, try telling the next "worldly" person you come across that your beloved organization has a two witness policy in sexual abuse cases. That there's a judicial meeting involving 3 elders/the pedophile/and the victim all in one room while the surrounding men force the victim to give detailed information of the abuse while the pedophile scumbag denies it and remains in the organization further exposing himself to innocent children and the victim is forced to shut up otherwise it's slander. Then the victim is forced to confront the pedophile and tell him/her all is forgiven, followed by the pedophile at times being transferred to other congregations without any warning to the members in the new congregation, along with being shipped to our doors. Let's see what their reaction will be. Every non-JW family and friends I've shared this with were absolutely appalled and disgusted.
The sexual abuse and testimonies of the victims are real, they have happened and they are happening. This is what happened to my love as a little child, and it's further confirmed with every other WTS sexual abuse case/victim, very similar stories it is eerie and deeply heartbreaking. These victims have lived a life of horror, trauma, anguish, continuous flashbacks/post traumatic stress disorder, falling into drugs and alcohol in order to cope with the repetitive detailed nightmares and flashbacks of the abuse, immense fear, isolation, self worth issues, intimate relationship dysfunction, suicide attempts and the list goes on.
What have you members done besides blown off the victim with one excuse after another stating "Wait on Jehovah"... Wait on Jehovah when a child is sodomized while staring at the wall with tears coming down their face unable to physically run??? Wait on Jehovah while you sit in during a meeting while a child somewhere is being sexually assaulted that very moment because of your organizations policies looking out for their own best interest? What about the "worldly" child next door being exposed to a pedophile? Yet a member caught smoking is turned in and disfellowshipped? It's so horrifically disturbing it's borderline comical.
It seems like you're trying hard to convince yourself your beloved 7 leaders are who they say they are. WTS is worse then the Catholics. At least they don't spread the horrific parasites door to door further increasing the risk of a child being raped. I'll give them that in comparison. Your 7 leaders and it's puppets have made "Satan's" job easier by hopping on his boat and further polluting the world with trauma - you're helping as well by promoting it.
