Understanding apostacy....I just dont feel like one
by oompa inso when an elder friend informed me they were concerned my thinking may be headed towards apostacy, i reminded him i had never said anything bad against the society, sure had no teachings of my own, nor wanted any followers, just answers.
also reminded him that all my research was wt material based, and the problems/contridictions i had found were troubling for that very reason.
he agreed that i had stayed on pretty safe ground.. but when i looked into it a bit more, it could easily go either way.

Elders: Help for research about Reporting Child Molestation
by tooktheredpill inif any of the people reading this is an elder too, please help me to do some research.. the only letter that i've found to all the bodies of elders about this matter is dated feb 15, 2002. in page 4, it has a section titled "reminders regarding the handling of cases involving child abuse".
it says mostly to "call the legal department for assistance".
it says that child abuse is a crime, but it doesn't specify that the authorities should be called.

Ciro Aulicino - Watchtower Man for Life
by VM44 inusing various online databases i looked up what was available on ciro aulicino who is well known for getting the watchtower signed up as an ngo with the united nations.
the following information was returned.
note that his residences have all been at watchtower owned addresses.. considering his age, and dependence upon the watchtower for most of his life, ciro probably won't be considering any change in his relgion!.

funny thing about being sad...especially now of all times w/ snow & NBC
by oompa ini have to get feeing better soon.
i don't mind some ups and downs, but staying low for days at a time just ain't right.

Elder Pedophiles that you personally know of . . .
by JK666 inafter the ambiguous response by the wts to the nbc broadcast, i would like to know how many of you had an "elder chester molester" in your own congregation?.
we had an elder that molested his daughter's best friend when she was 14 years old.
the elders in the congregation tried to keep the matter quiet and handled the matter privately.
