" 49. Unnecessarily and abusively shunning members even for minor infractions such as smoking or not complying with the whimsical directives of elders, thereby causing personal and family turmoil that often results in immense guilt, shame, fear, depression, bitterness, hatred, murder and suicide."
"Greed Is Good!" oh wrong line. Guilt is good! Guilt in the Organization is the oddest beast, only JWs with a heart encounter this emotion. The self-righteous legalistic are the first to condem their fellow brothers and sisters. Depression can be cured by getting out in the Field Ministry more, and devoting your time whole-heartedly to the Slave.
50. Prohibiting fellowship with disassociated persons who show no inclination toward causing dissension.
We don't prohibit, we highly advise against it and will "mark" you, if you do!
51. Showing favoritism by advising innocent victims to "leave it to Jehovah" instead of the elders taking decisive action to deal with some members who have been accused of harmful wrongdoing.
When dealing with a pedophile case, the victim was forced to describe detail by detail of what took place. A heavy handed pedophile who qoutes the Society's teachings, knows the letter or their law, has an unfair advantage of victims. Psychologist don't ask for "dirty details" but the BOE's judical committe has no problem putting little boys and girls into shock, reliving the nightmare in front of the Pedophile. Police have learned as well, how much information to extract from victims, not the Slave, they know how to push the envelope (Victim) off the table (chase them out of the Congregation, while the Pedophile is cleansed by the laying of hands by holy men.) right into the shredder.
52. Ignoring or minimizing clear evidence of child molestation and other abuses simply because only one witness is available to testify against the member accused of such serious wrongdoing
Putting a victim head to head with a former JW elder who knows their loopholes, it's beautiful for the perpetrators!
53. Covering over and hiding damaging facts about the JW organization
Jehovah covered Jonah with the bottle gourd plant, so the heat of the burning Sun would not hurt him! We cover our angry prophets, who fail to learn from Jehovah's mercy, quick to condem others for the same blunders the Org makes!
54. In many cases, neglecting the care of their own sick and elderly members who no longer have the strength and energy to attend all the meetings and to be regular in "field service" as they did for most of their lives
The joy of bringing in a new recruit outweighs the ten who leave from neglect! When my baby sister stopped attending the congregation, nobody came looking for her! We all have stories of brothers and sisters who were never checked on, stopped attending meetings and fell out of the congregation without a blink!
I can't figure this riddle out, why is a potential study worth more time, than Granda Joe whose day's of pioneering are gone? Aunt Mable is left in a rest home to preach about "brotherly love", thank God she has dementia, she's not aware the Brotherhood has not been here for years!
55. Blatantly lying to the public by declaring to news media that members may leave the organization at any time, of their own free will and without any repercussions from the organization
"It's ok to lie to those who don't deserve to know the Truth!"
