My thread was inspired by GentleDawn's insightful comment about the effect the events in Wales had on her JW husband...
Hope any lurkers out there can filter out the signal (storys and experiences like this) to noise (the current trolls running amok on the forums) ratios
This the problem with those who Focus on outrageous fantasies about the Watchtower. It distracts from the real issues that need to be highlighted.
What happened in Wales was for real. The facts have been tested in court. It is scandalous and damning of the whole body of elders and the wider organisation.
The problem is that when idiots scream about nonsense and pretend they are going to take the organisation down it undermines the cause. When lurkers read threads comparing all elders to rapists or suggesting that Jesus was a child molestor it does nothing for anybody's credibility.
Hopefully some will be able to see the difference between hundreds of sincere people who can talk rationally about the facts concerning the Watchtower, and one or two ego-driven attention seekers.
