  GB being sued as a group and named individually in a child sexual abuse coverup.

  by liam in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  this is a court case filed in august 2021 by the zalkin law firm.

  deborah hines vs watchtower and the governing body.. what's interesting is;.

  "ny already set a precedent that an unincorporated group can be sued for its action and has specifically said this case can move forward.

  Glad to see Zalkin is still swinging away at Watchtower. They have blazed the trail on Watchtower abuse cases, and have been accumulating evidence and experience with every trial. They are also big enough to have staying power, because Watchtower has learned from big auto to delay, obstruct, and appeal until the victims die from old age.

  I am still holding onto the hope that a State Department of Justice can pursue a good CRIMINAL case against headquarters staff. Nothing like a little hard time with a big ugly romantic cellmate humming: "Strangers in the night...what were our chances?"...to bring actual change to Watchtower.

  Watchtower has always gotten in trouble "going beyond what is written".

  Unlike most churches, they inserted themselves into day-to-day Family planning, sex, finances, education, child-rearing, health care, and crime enforcement (domestic violence, child abuse, fraud). Surprisingly, they didn't insist congregations didn't form firefighting brigades.

  How things have changed.

  As a kid in the 60s the "anointed" were old, frumpy, rare birds with their heads in the clouds. They got annual questionnaires asking for opinions from HQ. 1st gen and I both had one of these rare pre-1930s JWs in our big extended JW families. They died years ago.

  Watchtower has since troted out "annointed 2.0. " Now they are more common, younger than us, sporting expensive duds, bling, and have nice digs. They are not waiting for heaven...they already have it.

  In 1975...50 years ago I had it all figured out....because Watchtower told me so.

  But over the last 50 years I have learned "I don't know what I don't know".

  Watchtower told me child abuse didn't occur unless TWO witnesses saw it. So...where are the two witnesses for 90% of what I read in the bible?

  Who else heard or saw God speak to Abraham, Daniel, Moses, John, or Jesus?

  I have heard mental patients claim they hear gods voice. I choose to not believe them.

  Why should I believe the founder of Israel was directly chosen by god? Or that he saw a burning bush? I ignore mental patients and street people claims, should I go "all in" believing a bronze age goat herder who insisted he was chosen and god told him to sacrifice his son? Where were his "two witnesses"?

  I have weird dream once in a while...why should I believe the Apostle Johns were inspired? Did he have two witnesses?

  Do I have to have all the answers?

  Do I have to follow/worship a guru, an orange politician, or religious leaders/governing body who tell me god choose them? If so why?

  "I slay and pray" :)

  Serena Williams knows how to own a red carpet. The 23-time Grand Slam champion turned heads at the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty, dazzling in a midnight-black, off-shoulder gown. But while she spent the night mingling with A-list stars like Kim Kardashian, she also made sure to keep up with something far more important—her nightly ritual with her daughters.

  The American tennis legend may be retired from tennis, but she hasn’t slowed down one bit. Since stepping away from the sport in 2022, she has embraced a new chapter in her life, one rooted in faith and family.

  Shortly after retiring, she got baptized as a Jehovah’s Witness, a commitment that now plays a central role in her everyday life. In an Instagram post, while Williams was still in her glamorous avatar, she tucked her eldest daughter Olympia in for the night. But not without first offering a prayer to god. In her caption, she revealed, “I try my best to pray every day with them no matter the circumstances. I slay and pray.”

  It’s a practice she holds close to her heart, ensuring her children grow up with the same faith that has guided her through life. Her devotion to Jehovah’s Witness beliefs has shaped many aspects of her family life. After welcoming Olympia in 2017, Williams surprised many by revealing that they wouldn’t be celebrating her daughter’s first birthday. “Olympia doesn’t celebrate birthdays,” she told ‘People’. “We’re Jehovah’s Witnesses, so we don’t do that.”

  Warning! If you are an Elder or a family member of one, surfing this site..these newer legal cases should give you pause. Your family and future financial well-being may be at risk from the actions of a fellow elder or Watchtower policy flip-flop. "Vicarious liability, also known as imputed liability, is a legal principle where a person or entity (the "principal") is held liable for the tortious (wrongful) acts of another person (the "agent") due to a specific relationship between them, such as employer-employee.

  New GB member Judy Jedele critizing Job's "humility" while wearing $20,000 Rolex, gold cuff links, coloured suit. Incredible!

  i swear, you can't make this shit up!

  for years and years growing up in this cult, i had to constantly hear from my parents, from the stage, in the literature, about "keeping your eye simple", not being "materialistic", not "having a showy display of one's wealth.

  " of course, this never seemed to apply to the wealthy business owning elduhzzzz who ran and lorded it out over the congregations, but i digress.
