JW & Child Molestation

by crochunter in

i don't really understand this topic.

do you really believe the wtbs covers up child molestation?

i haven't read the specific accusations, but i seriously doubt that there would be a organizational "unstated" rule that child molestors are allowed.. are you sure this isn't a random event, that it is, it happened once or twice and the wtbs critics jump all over it, much like someone would demonize their enemy?.

Again, I don't know the facts, but I find it hard to believe that people, people, even if they are JW, would allow child molestation.

Do you think that...

some people that come here regularly, do so to rationalize the fact that they have left the organization?.

that's kind of how i feel.

we talk about false prophecies, etc that the wtbts has done in the past, but if you believe the bible is real, isn't someone right?

The question I think about is "is the bible for real" if it is, aren't most of us doomed? I almost wish it wasn't real.

Just some thoughts.

WT Becoming More Secular?

i was raised in the "truth" and my mom is still very dedicated to being a witness.

i've noticed that over time, the society seems to have gotten more secular, or at least it appears so.. for example, the blood issue is now more secular, you can't be disfellowshipped.. also, being able to accept military civil service instead of going to jail.

i also read that a witness can now attend holiday celebrations with their unbelieving mate.. has anyone noticed this as well?

Has anyone noticed this as well? Will there be a time when things like holidays are "up to your conscious?"
