some of you may be familiar with the international churches of christ , a breakoff cult from the churches of christ years ago.

control, control, control.

i myself have exit-counseled a few kids from this church successfully.

This entire article is truly amazing,there's just so much to read, but oh, what a parallel to Watchtower doctrine. WTBS could easily be inserted in place of ICOC.
1.We have had well over a quarter million men and women leave our churches. Many have fallen away, of course. Perhaps, the majority. But tens of thousands have walked away with their God. We simply do not admit this. We have insisted, thoughtlessly and to the continuing hurt and dismay of many, that anyone who leaves our ranks, for whatever the reason, have fallen away from God. This just cannot be, and in truth, borders on the immoral. We know, even if we will not admit it publicly, that we ourselves have mistakenly ‘pruned’ hundreds away! No, not all have left their God –they simply left our fellowship to make it on their own. Let us admit the truth-thousands were marginalized, rebuked, misunderstood, wearied, or forced to follow their consciences out the door. Others, scattered by harsh and brutal leadership (Ez34)
2.Related to this, but hardly the only reason, there is now an entire sub-culture of enemies and critics that simply will not go away until we publicly admit and apologize for our mistakes and sins. (Now who does this sound like?)

Hawkaw,
Thank you for getting me to re-read this post several times to get the full importance of it. I especially like:
The Watchtower Society had argued the church couldn’t be held responsible for a failure to protect children from a parent’s abuse. The society also argued that allowing the suit to proceed would violate the constitutional protection of freedom of worship.
Groff disagreed, finding that religious beliefs don’t excuse people from obeying state laws, including the law requiring people to report suspected child abuse.
These are the hypocrites always talking about obeying Ceaser's law. What a crock of sh*t.

i have been a jw for more than 10 years and less than 30. i'm not naive about the ways of the borg.

i was a hot shot jw at one time, one of the few that enjoyed 90% acceptance from my audience.

this is one of the things that has brought me some trouble.

I'm sorry for what your little girl had to go thru...great letter,btw.
On the linked video (KSDK) the reporter said that they would be interviewing the leaders of Jehovah's Witnesses the following night. Does any one have a link to that. I couldn't find anything on the KSDK site. If this has been discussed before I apologize. Just point me in the right direction. Thanks
