Someone asked why the Watchtower heads don't just admit they do wrong keeping their policy enabling pedophiles.
It's because some of them have been pedophiles like Leo Greenlees was and never disfellowshipped for it.
In fact some of the guys in their now don't need to be there either.
Not to change the subject, but what if Dateline didn't air the story? Does anyone really think the mess would vanish? Fat chance.
I hope they dig into the backgrounds of all the Governing Body especially Sydlik and Barber.
I know a fellow who just went up to Bethel and was there just a month or two before coming back home. He must have told mom and dad some things they refused to believe. He was disfellowshipped which suit him fine. Parents would prefer to believe in the Almighty org than their own kid.
I knew another guy who told about discovering other Bethelites doing sodomy in one of the bathrooms up there. His wife just wouldn't believe it and she divorced him though they had a baby. Since then she's divorced her second husband too. I guess he isn't enough of a Watchtower man for her either.
There's so many cans of worms. Every guy on the Governing Body knows there's a file full of dirt on him. So why ask Why don't they say their policy is wrong and promise to do better?
Sounds easy. Imagine being in the organization 20-80 years, seeing its darkness suddenly and being upset over it but scared if you left them nobody would employ you, feed you, you'd be called a traitor, get crank calls and letters, smear your good name with whatever lies and half truths they've written up on you.
I too hope Dateline blows the lid on these things. Then men who've been with the org 20-80 and quit it will be seen as just doing what they should, and nobody would believe the rot told about them.
The way you tell if you're talking to a real Circuit or District Overseer is the same as how you tell if you talk to a real local Presiding Overseer. To reveal who they are they mark their conversations with verbal oddities, key words and some insider remarks.
If you call Brooklyn count on your phone call being recorded. If you tell an elder boo or pray something in your bedroom count on it being heard too. They really get their jollies out of listening to the boy and girl talk. "We must keep the congregations clean, after all, mustn't we" rot.
