This was the one aspect of TTAT that absolutely killed my faith and trust in the organization. I had always looked at them with such praise and glory, I was definitely one of those stubborn JW's who wouldn't even allow talk of anything that resembled opposition to "Godly Truth" but the facts don't lie and the truth is readily available to any who search.
It's saddening to know that there are bros out there that would rather keep a privilege than help a hurt child. Everytime I heard "elder" I thought of this text:
“Each one must prove to be like a hiding place from the wind and a place of concealment from the rainstorm, like streams of water in a waterless country, like the shadow of a heavy crag in an exhausted land.”—Isaiah 32:2.
It's funny that when push comes to shove all of that protection goes out the window. Thanks jeremiah for sharing with us- if only more people felt the way you did in handling the situation.
You know the sickening thing is that if a JW reads this they will just say more lies.
