Lumped together with Chrisendom
by Diogenesister inthere have been many gratifying moments during the royal commission's investigation into the watchtower society's handling of child abuse cases.
pulling apart the inept dr appewhites "expert" testimony, incompetant dozy elders hung out to dry, o'brien and toole's obfuscations and outright lies to name but few.. surely though in the long term in order to secure adequate redress, or compensation, for victims the grouping together of the wtbts with other of chrisendom's churches, is tantamount to admitting complicity in the sins of all reliigous institutions.
in other words the jw's are a church of sinners just like any other.as i understand it each org will contribute an amount comensurate with the no of their members and other calculations such as no of cases of abuse etc.so far the big boys (contributors)will be the catholic church and the jw's.the fds better start thinking on their feet as to how they are gonna explain this one away.. "get out of her my people if you do not want a share in her sins".

The Silence of the Lambs
by Diogenesister inthe power of the institution must never again be allowed to silence a child.. so says royal commissioner peter maclellan following his time speaking to over 4,000 survivors of sexual abuse within institutions, over half of which were faith based.
we know 1,006 of those took place and were reported to the jehovahs witness organization.
thats some statistic,but my question is what do you guys think the org can or is willing to do to get over the "jehovahs good name is more important than your sufferings" attitude.

Baker misses opertunity re no part of this world
by Diogenesister inwhy did disfellowshipped ex elder baker not explain why the elders have not informed themselves about the royal commission ?
mr stewart gave him the opertunity to explain the "no part of this world" doctrine, he merely expressed surprise that they had not informed themselves as if it were a personal foible of those particular elders.
it would have been a great opertunity to express disgust at the distain and uncaring attitude the society exhibits toward its worldly neighbours, i also believe him to be out of date re superior authority doctrine ..giving creedence to the lie the jw's are good and productive members of society.

Never give up on those stuck in the org
by Diogenesister inhi, i know posting links here is not always popular and appologies if you've seen this but i heartily recommend reading this fantastic bio.
i guess what you'll take from it is to never give up on anyone stuck in a cult and also an examle of real unconditional love in this case 33 years of rejection, patiently waiting until their daughter needed them.
enjoy.

For those who gave their lives
by Diogenesister insorry if this is a bit of a bummer, folks, but i am feeling really down about this and had to post.
i took my life in my hands and checked out jw.org, initially to find out what the go was regarding the sarah as satan posts and the patronus spell lion ( although i was nearly crying with laughter when i real that all along the watchtower (spiritualist harry potter reading) flash of writing department madness, well the posts about it anyway.. anyway what made me feel so bad was something about being good to full time long term service people..in the caleb and sophia section for gods sake!
it was this sad picture of two elderly publishers ( god what a word!

False messengers!
by Diogenesister in"jehovah god is the grand identifier of his true messengers.
he identifies them by making the messages he delivers through them come true.
jehovah is also the great exposer of false messengers.
