The Question Box in July deals with the internet - mainly concerned with children on Myspace & similar sites -mentioning that your child could be talking to paedophiles , DFd ones or even "active apostates" .
Are they really sure they know what they are talking about on those pedophiles? The last I knew, MySpace is taking aggressive measures to ban pedophiles from membership on its site. Is the Watchtower Society? I don't think so--they are taking aggressive measures to protect pedophiles within the ranks, to protect their own reputation.
As for the apostates, I think the Watchtower Society is its own worst enemy. When I look at all the apostate Web sites plus Crisis of Conscience put together, they didn't do half the damage that the cost/benefit analysis did. The cost is tremendous: all your time, energy, and money plus not getting any fulfillment of personal hopes. The benefit is negative: living forever in a world with nothing but other men and having the opposite sex all killed off on your account, or living forever in a world with no freedom to speak what you actually want to, or living forever in a world where there is nothing worthwhile to do. Having any of these conditions as the "reward" did more damage to me than all the apostate Web sites, the questionable origin of the religion, the unscriptural rules that Rutherford drunkenly put upon the flock, the pedophile scandal, the money scams, and the kangaroo court judicial hearings put together. And not going onto MySpace or JWD is no protection from that.
