  Question: What keeps the Watchtower Society going?

  hello folks, it's been awhile since i have posted, hope everyone is doing well!

  i have a question, though, if the society is not paying the governing body, or other "big wigs" in ny large salaries, what would be the motivating factor for the society to continue to exist?

  i am not saying that money is everything, but if none of the money is going into pockets, then the society must really feel that they are god's chosen channel, or something to that effect.

  Reporting Molestations to Elders

  by Vitameatavegamin in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  my feeling on this whole sexual abuse matter is that if a child has been or is being molested, it should be taken straight to the police.

  why allow the elders to "decide" first if there is any merit to the allegations.

  mainly because if the accused has committed this crime and denies to the elders, the victim is basically screwed in the eyes of the congregation.
