Confidential matters or policy of secrecy?
by irondork in'this jury bought it'mccabe said simons "did a great job of spinning it into a policy of secrecy, and this jury bought it.".
in fact, mccabe said, the letter was a run-of-the mill reminder that some communications must be kept confidential.
he noted that a section of the letter devoted to child abuse instructed elders to report all allegations to church lawyers so victims can be "protected from further damage.".

How did you long-timers do it before the internet / Ray Franz books / abundant information?
by irondork inwith all the tools and information at the disposal of newly awakened ones, it's still no easy task coming to terms with the magnitude of it all.
it still takes a lot of gut-wrenching time and effort to get to the point where you are sure you made the right decision to leave.. .
how did you long-timers (old-timers, respectfully) manage it without crisis of conscience, christian freedom, jwn, jwfacts, freeminds, access to thousands of fellow survivors with stories just like yours?.

"You will live where you are told to live!"
by irondork inone of our most dogmatic, authoritarian elders at the congregation i used to attend made this comment.. .
the wts has beat the drum of absolute authority so long and hard that the idea of free will, or even the notion of a god who might take in to consideration the wants, likes, and desires of his own people has been strangled out of the jw psychology.. .
in one of his talks, brother that's final informed the congregation that it is pointless for us to engage in speculation about how our lives will be in the new system.

Losing the battle
by irondork inlove endures all things, huh?
i think the boys at watchtower hq found a way around that rule.
they have learned how to destroy the natural affection of those doing the shunning and those being shunned.. .
