Why did barbara anderson long time member of watchtower get kicked out for blowing the whistle on child abuse?

Question

Would a 60+ member of a religion really do something worthy of disfellowshiping or could it have been some ambigous interpretation, of scripture that each body of elders can tailor to fit the need, so that whistlblowing then comes under taking action against the org, thus rebellion, thus causing divisions, and whatever else can't you just hear them ' yeeeaah thats the ticket your not submisive, that makes you disobedient, and therefor a wrongdoer, and as such a danger to the congregation. so we must take 'God' approved action we will pray on it and if everyone is in agreement then it has been bound in heaven and ohhh boy you get the picture!)

This frigntens me is this how it really is??

Answer 1

I think the WBS 2 witness rule to a crime , especially the molestation of children is the most heinous of religious cover-ups to date.

Having been a victim of violent sexual abuse and cover up by a Witness, I know what I am talking about.

The settlements that the WBS have paid out to date, all come with gag orders...keeping those abused silent ....after all is said and done they have re-abused those who were so badly abused to keep their reputation clean and to deny what has occurred....shameful

Answer 2

We need some victims to come forward and sue the Watchtower organization and the members responsible. They have a nice factory that prints all that stuff they hand out and they could sell off those Kingdom halls to pay the victims. If there are enough of them it could spell the end for JWs.

Answer 3

d**n and I was kind of hoping they weren't *** holes. Oh well.
