Morning sKally,
I am a bit unclear here. Is this a direct response to your utube channel? A back and forth between the poster you quoted and yourself?
I'm just unclear on what his comment that you bolded has to do with anything that you are posting (re: the depo), except that you received an admittance he screens comments, perhaps? Because there are jws and exjws who
ARE turned away from exjws and exjw sites specifically because of the vitriol they encounter on some of them. And the response you gave to him seems, to me, to support his reasons for doing so. For example,
Quote:
BTW, I consider everything you've said here as just a fart in the wind. Are we clear little wt man?
I think you just gave that guy a valid reason (at the very least in the eyes of his readers/listeners) for his decision to screen messages.
And if some people turn away because of the anger/vitriol (and yes, you do have a very calm voice in reality, but that sure does not come across when you write) - then
some who might otherwise benefit from the work that you do in exposing the lies or the abuse aren't going to stick around to listen/read.
It just seems like such a waste, especially when you do not need the insults, etc, to make your point and state the facts. The facts should speak for themselves and your point is much better made, imo.
For example... that depo is an easy read in that it just states the facts (at least from the pov of the attorney in the depo). There are no insults added in there that might turn people away (unless they just don't want to hear
anything that might show the wts in an unfavorable light - if proven to be true, that is, and this is just a deposition and not a guilty verdict - in which case, that is their choice)
***
As for the content of the depo, I thought it was interesting and a very easy read, and the reader may draw their own conclusions or just be aware that there are issues out there. But of course no one on the other end of a phone can comment on the question that you ask, even if they DID know an answer. It is an ongoing legal proceeding. Or am I mistaken and it is concluded? Even so, I would expect that the guy on the other end of the phone is unlikely to be authorized to comment on legal matters.
As to bringing the wts down... history of other religions, especially the RCC, has proven that sexual abuse scandals AND guilty verdicts/admittance of those scandals is not going to bring down the wts. Certainly the exposure may cause some to leave, or at the very least, be more diligent about protecting their children and not blindly trusting everyone in the organization. So the exposure is good. The hypocrisy of pointing fingers at the RCC while being guilty of the same might help wake some others up as well. But it won't bring the beast, itself, down.
She
will come to her end though... as will all the other 'daughters' of BTG. Hopefully, as many who wish to know the Truth, who seek the Truth, who are able and willing and thirsting to hear and know the truth (who is Christ) will come out of her before she comes to her end.
May those still in 'her' (in any of her forms, wts, rcc, etc) hear the call, and "Come out of her, my people!" so that you do not share in her sins. And instead come to Christ, who is THE Truth, Word, the Spirit and the Life. The ONLY one about whom God said,
"
This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to Him."
May you have peace,
your servant, and a slave of Christ,
tammy
