It was be nice for the GB to spend some time in prison and get molested by Bubba.
I don't wish that on anyone but these guys need some serious rear adjustment..
these excerpts i'm sharing with you are from the july 1st, 1989 letter from the wt society to the elders and it gives outsiders a good idea of the attitude of the wt society leaders towards child abuse victims and even towards their own appointed elders.
and it shows wt society is first, foremost, and mainly concerned about financial fallout from potential lawsuits.
one short quote was used from this letter on the abc news nightline report about candace conti - but what i'm going to share with you will be other excerpts from that same letter that are just as, or even more revealing.

i truly believe he is real but i respect why some are atheists..
Yes it's nuts discussing the bible with JW's. We need common ground.
If the bible is your authority lets talk but with JW's it's a different story.
JW, that not what the bible mean. What! that's not what I see it's clear to me.
NO no,no lets see what the WT say, the WT tells us it's not green but black..

Mad Irishman: Agree "go with the one you truly believe". If it make you happy
go with it.
so this week dubbies read that the mean bad philistines were punished by the desert god for having his ark.
the desert god punished them with (drum roll please)....... hemroids and rats.
yep.
I was told stop reading the bible just to find fault. When I started reading
the bible the purpose was to find strength.I had no idea what a agnostic
was. I was told by folks just have faith if you don't understand. Hell for
over 27 years God still have me in the dark, what is he waiting for.
can anyone confirm they seem to be having disagreement writing dept and service dept some feel that df ok as long as you do not add wholesale across the board shunning regardless of the sin ..
I believe there will be a large increase in their ranks. They will be like
any other religion. Without the shunning, DF will not be a big deal.
Hell you can go to college, take blood, miss meetings, no field service.
Young people can have a normal life, married folks can do whatever they want
in the bedroom.
I take it all back, this will never happen.. The GB love the control. I really believe
they get excited in their beds when they are all alone at night. We have millions of
mindless people that think we are next to GOD. We love this sh---t...

Logical consistency, the claims of a belief system must logically cohere
to each other and not contradict in any way.
Empirical adequacy, is there evidence to support the belief system.
The problem, the very book that religious organization follow are
full of contradiction and no evidence of the stories in the bible.
For some reason God made it very elusive for mankind to understand
his wishes. That's why you are in the predicament you are in today.
If you feel God is calling you it is definitely not the JW God, he is
busy with child abuse cases..
I just read this. If you do not filter the thought that enter your mind, you
stop to be a free person. If not you behave and act like a puppet on
a string..

This is why you can't take the bible seriously. So long before preparation H
was invented God gave the Philistines hemorrhoids. Seven month-long
flaring pack of hemorrhoids, it was so bad they cried out to heaven, in fact
the whole city cried out to heaven. Yes it was heard in Heaven,"my ass is
hurting God" 1Sam 5:12. This is some funny stuff.
this point was raised in another thread vaguely, and wanted to try and expand on it.. the wt has said (and rightly so in my opinion) "that excessive use of drugs and alcohol can ruin your life".
in my eyes this is a fact.. this is where it starts to get a little suspicious, as they also say (or subtly hint at) "that if you leave the wt you will becoming addicted to drugs and alcohol and will ruin your life".. its almost like a self fulfilling prophecy.
as there are a lot who leave the borg and they do start drinking heavy or smoking, or taking drugs...or whatever.. the wt capitalizes on the fact that people want more freedom, and they subtly ingrain the thought that.
So true; alcohol had me in a down spiral after leaving the borg. Only
after I researched the borg my life changed for the better.
The borg have a lot of over the counter drug users and tons of alcoholics.
