The Jehovah's Witnesses apparently don't like the Truth! They have filed suit against Peter Mosier for his website, Quotes.Watchtower.ca, which simply presents actual quotes from the Watchtower Society.
To explain how interesting this is, Mr. Mosier is simply printing direct quotes from Watchtower publications without comment and citing his sources. In other words, he's just presenting the "truth" that the Jehovah's Witnesses have pushed out for years. Since they rely on ignorance, they don't like it.
Perhaps the most surprising (and scary) quotes involve children:
*** FACE THE FACTS (book), pp. 46, 49-50 ***
Would it be Scripturally proper for them to now marry and begin to rear children? No, is the answer, which is supported by the Scriptures. […] Those Jonadabs who now contemplate marriage, it would seem, would do better if they wait a few years, until the fiery storm of Armageddon is gone…
As many of you probably know, the JW's have repeatedly predicted the end of the world, so I'm not sure who they expect followers to rely on for an accurate prediction. Also, wouldn't God prevent the faithful from getting pregnant if He needed them for some other purpose?
Here's hoping Mr. Mosier stands firm - and praying that Jehovah's Witnesses look a little more into their faith.

All Bloggers,
I believe that Jehovah's witnesses are wrong, but the thing is, I don't think there should be a topic in the Blog in which the sole purpose is to beat up on another religion.

How do catholics feel about the recent news on the long list of pedophiles in L.A. from the 1930's thru today?
The list comes from their own archdiocese. It's the truth, but do you like it?
AS to not having children, Jesus said "Because, look! days are coming in which people will say, ‘Happy are the barren women, and the wombs that did not give birth and the breasts that did not nurse!’" (Luke 23:29)
Noah's sons did not have children because they knew what was coming and what was more important.
It is of little importance how we Catholics feel about the problems in the priesthood with regaurd to this subject. They are on two different levels. The problem in our religion is the failure of individules to live up to the comandments of God, the problem with JWs is they have systemic problems in the very fabric of their religion. As a man who grew up as a JW I know they need help and as Christians it is our duty to expose their ignorance and try to help them or those they may prey upon.

Douglas, if you seek an answer your question about how Catholics feel about the problem of priests guilty of committing pedophilia, check out this excellent response.
The insights contained in that response may be of interest to other Catholics as well.
