so my mum asked me to watch the broadcast and to my astonishment i got through it without smashing my screen haha.. so i let her know what liars they are for saying they would never deliberately distort a quotation.. she is ok for me to give her some printouts of watchtower material where this has in fact happened, contry to what they say.. where should i start and what would be your best link, or way to approach this.
i think this is a good opportunity of waking her up, if she can see that the broadcast has lied to her, she won't be happy.. any advice is you can give is so appreciated.. thanks everyone..
I'm still laughing at the Gandhi quote explanation.
Useful if you have a copy of the 2011 Yearbook to hand

Watchtower, November 1, 2011: "When Was Ancient Jerusalem Destroyed?"
Footnote: None of the secular experts quoted in this article hold that Jerusalem was destroyed in 607 B.C.E.

It's an interesting article.
The author's church website is: https://www.firstmennonitechurch.org
As slimboyfat has probably already noted - they seem to be an 'online' church only in the UK nowadays:

The author just refers to JWs as they are the only Christians he knew of who didn't celebrate Christmas - he mentions it as he was surprised that this non-JW couple, attending his Mennonite church, also did not 'celebrate' Christmas.
Aside from meeting Jehovah’s Witnesses, I had never encountered Christians who did not celebrate Christmas.
Actually they did, but in a much more non-commericalised, more religious way - that was the point of the article - it lead the author to re-evaluate his view of Christmas too.

publication court of appeal, fourth appellate district division one state of california osbaldo padron, plaintiff and respondent, v. watchtower bible and tract society of new york, inc., defendant and appellant.findingwatchtower has abused the discovery process.
it has zealously advocated its position and lost multiple times.
yet, it cavalierly refuses to acknowledge the consequences of these losses and the validity of the court's orders requiring it to produce documents in response to request number 12. and, in a further act of defiance, watchtower informed the court that it would not comply with the march 25, 2016 order 39 requiring it to produce documents responsive to request number 12. the court, following lopez, supra, 246 cal.app.4th 566, as an incremental step toward terminating sanctions if watchtower persists in its unjustified conduct, imposed monetary sanctions.

Thank kinda makes it sound official?
in 2013 the revised nwt came out and changed the old edition's "fornication" and its related words "fornicating," "fornicator" etc.
in all their roughly 70 occurrences.
has the word completely dropped from usage in the witness world?
In the revised bible 'fornication' is now usually rendered as 'sexual immorality'.
careful: is it still used in the disfellowshiping report sent to the branch which lists the sin the DFed one is guilty of?
No. (was it ever used?)
Depending on the actual circumstances, one of the following expressions would be used (for 'fornication', 'porneia' would be used):

Yeah, seems interesting, though the ex-jw community seems to be pretty good at distributing, and keeping online, various leaked info.
The real benefit though may be in encouraging new leaks via their submission process.
