  a california court fined only $2,000 to the wt for not releasing records of 775 sex abuse cases?

  they should have made the fine 20 million +.

  Is there any thread that can't be shit on here by nitpicking at details rather than discussing the actual point of a topic? It's pretty clear that the OP was just pointing out what small potatoes the fine is to an organization like that, and that they were facing it in general. You must be one miserable or insecure dude to jump into thread after thread, often muddying the point by trying to fact check everyone else.

  By the way, for the love of the flying spaghetti monster, the word is ridiculous, not rediculous. Thread after thread is nearly unreadable as they are detailed by Mr. "Morphs law", which should actually be that in literally any thread Morpheus may jump in and make it about proving himself right in some small way instead of discussing the topic at hand.

  We all know "that guy" that sucks all the air out of a room when he enters, robbing it of free discussion because you're waiting on him to pounce. This is a great example. So much work going into making a nothing point. It's exhausting to read on here lately.

  Why does it affect us so deeply?

  i was having a great chat with a valued friend and fellow forum member today on the phone.. we were discussing how deeply we all get affected by jw interactions - even years after fading or disassociating.. you know what i mean.

  those days when we run into jws who we considered to be our close friends.

  or "loving shepherds" who don't act kindly.

  Oh yeah, being a JW was our being. How meta is that, lol. Anyway, it was our very identity, and for many of us that included our formative years and maybe even the majority of our years. We still have family stuck in it. It's hard to leave that all behind, not to mention a faith that told us we'd never die and could one day have a panda.

  It is funny how we did take a stand for truth and it gets us kicked out of "The Truth®".

  Look at you PE all trying to change yourself into an angel of light. They know who you are Devil, get behind them. Lol, isn't all so stupid? It's all your fault that they have to do this awful shunning thing. How dare you write those articles in the cult literature that interpret scripture a certain way? To top it off, you wrote them such that if people don't follow your words to shun then they might get shunned too. Evil man, just evil. It's clearly all your fault.

  Sorry man, you probably knew the outcome but it still stings on a level. They are so brainwashed and they just can't see it. I couldn't, and neither could most of us, when we were in.

  I too enjoyed your comment on being Christ-like. You handled it well. They want you to see them, feel shame, and slink away. You stood up like an adult human and made them act like children.

  Glad to hear it Stuck! I should probably email her but I've been so busy. Too much going on in August with my own exjw stuff. I miss her here too. I know what it's like to need to just work on life and it's tough to dedicate energy to that and exjw stuff at the same time.

  Why aren't the JDubs receiving more bad publicity concerning the abuse cover-ups?

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i know that the jdubs think that they are the center of the universe and in actuality, no one except ex-jdubs gives a rats ass about these religious crazies.

  my question is i read that as a percentage of pedophiles per members, that the percentage is larger in the watchtower company than in the catholic church.

  i would think that would catch someones attention in the media and make a good story.. what really pisses me off is the watchtower cult is gloating about all of the negative press the catholics are receiving concerning pedophiles not even knowing that the jdubs have thousands of sexual abuse cases that have been covered over.

  Excellent point Steve. It's a sad reality of this poster and those that came before him. Just emotionless robots that value the cult over the most vulnerable in it, reflective of the attitude from the GB on down, and the god they worship.

  Why dodge the question? It's the predictable pattern of those mentioned above. Come in, pick at anything, change the subject, obfuscate, etc. So predictable.

  @Doubter - let's say 500 kids per country were molested and the prevailing method of handling it, whether in writing or not, was to discourage members from going to the police and to handle it congregationally. Lets say 100. Whatever. How do you feel about it?

  I'm not sure what you doubt. You're clearly a WT drone ala Richard Oliver, Fisherman, John Davis, etc. Tell us, what do you think of Jehovah's Witnesses?

  Well, Jehovah's Witnesses do have a history of silencing anyone they can, hiding the little men behind curtains, so what's one reporter. They can certainly turn her away if they want. It doesn't look good given the subject matter, but they are who we thought them to be. It's not exactly shocking.
