I see that a number of JW defenders feel that ex-JWs are 'picking' on the Watch Tower Society, and still do not get the clue. These defenders seem to think that we are silent about other religions, and that we are just embellishing this issue because we have an ulterior motive to engage in a hate campaign.
Let's look at a little history. The Watch Tower religion has through its history, especially from J. F. Rutherford's time, engaged in the most horrid bashing of all religions, especially the Catholic Church and Protestant denominations. Every time a Priest or Minister did anything wrong, we see articles in the Watchtower and little news clips in the Awake! And at times the WTS has even devoted entire books to bashing religions, such as, but not limited to their large book called, Babylon the Great has Fallen! - God's Kingdom Rules!
Do ex-JWs talk about the guilt of other groups? Absolutely! The Roman Catholic Church has been in a hotbed of lawsuits for shifting around pedophile Priests and covering this over. Many Protestant Ministers have likewise been removed, reported, and served jail time for pedophilia. The Anglican Church in Canada is reportedly going bankrupt because of lawsuits over pedophiles in their church. Public and Private Schools, Day Care Centers, and other places where children are gathered and accessible have been sued and forced to change policies. New legislation and regulations have been created to monitor and control these environments. Now the LDS/Mormon Church is facing a battery of lawsuits and will be forced to come into line with other groups. All these have been discussed and considered.
Then, are ex-JWs really picking on the WTS? Absolutely Not! Our experience, information, documentation, and insight is based on decades of association with the Watch Tower religion. The Watch Tower religion has yet to be dealt with as have other religions, social groups, and institutions. So, where else do we have to focus our experience? It would be a waste of time for ex-JWs to run around and worry about 7th Day Adventists, WWCOG, Pentecostals, Baptists, Catholics, and so on.
The Day of reckoning has arrived! None one of us can predict how the next few months will play out in the media or later on in the court rooms across America and other nations. The time has arrived, however, to bring every hidden out into the light. Maybe God is using ex-JWs to do this with respect to the WTS.
Jesus said, "For every one that does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, lest his works should be reproved. But he that does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be made manifest, that they have been wrought in God." - John 3:20-21
Jesus also said, "For there is nothing hid, except that it should be manifested; neither was (anything) made secret, but that it should come to light." - Mark 4:22
The light is starting to shine and expose these secrets of the Watch Tower religion. If the Watch Tower leaders and the JWs who follow them really love truth, they will come to the light and accept reproof and repent and humble themselves. Or they can keep hiding this evil, and force responsible society and the civil authorities to spank the Watch Tower religion and face a much harsher judgment. The choice is theirs to make.
Ex-JWs are NOT responsible for this harm. We are NOT hurting the Watch Tower religion. The religion brought this on itself. The pedophiles caused the real harm to victims, and the Watch Tower religion is an enabler of pedophiles, and a very dysfunctional religion. The only medicine they need now is to be brought to justice and have their arrogant and haughty spirit brought low. - Amazing
