DA's are very reticent to file charges unless it is a slam-dunk win.

So, you are saying that the guy is guilty and the DA has enough evidence but doesn’t want to do their job.

There's no arguing on behalf of the GB(TM) (PBUT).

So you don’t blame the DA for dropping this case in-spite of having all of the evidence and you blame the wt policy instead here even though this case is public and in forensics and the DA decided they don’t have enough evidence to prosecute —thus far. Who knows, maybe they will get some evidence or the great tribulation will strike tomorrow. Who knows?

Highly improbable

Then surely there is enough evidence to convict and the prosecution must be in on it and should be fired for claiming not enough evidence. Are you accusing the prosecution?

You have to wonder how many men like this are out there,

Are you saying this guy is guilty even if charges were dropped and no trial to convict him? According to you everybody is s guilty simply because they are accused.

As it relates to civil rights, SCOTUS recently decided that when charges are dismissed or dropped on someone that is arrested, let’s say for trespassing when he was standing on the 1st Amendment, that would be legal grounds for law enforcement to lose their Q immunity and be vulnerable for a 1983 and you could even lose your job. Obviously now prosecuting agencies are very eager not to drop any charges because now there is a price to pay if someone is wrongly arrested involving civil rights.

Anybody can accuse anyone of anything. Your lame pretext that it is very hard to prove does not mean someone is guilty simply because he is accused of committing a crime and the prosecution does not have enough evidence to prosecute.

In this related case, in all fairness, I cannot form an opinion about this man’s guilt without hearing the whole case including the defense’s side. Being a JW elder or WT policies is not proof he committed the crime. I can’t say he is innocent either. I don’t know either way. He could be guilty but then again he could also be innocent.

Sadly, cunning and devious and legally clever child molestors and other criminals know how to get away with crimes and it is such an outrage when they do —but that doesn’t make this guy guilty. It is also an outrage when someone is falsely accused destroying a person’s good name and reputation and the lying accusers suffer zero legal consequences.

I wouldn’t trust my child with someone that was only accused of being a cm, even if he is was acquitted. I wouldn’t take a chance. How sad but that is the horrific harm an innocent person suffers when falsely accused of cm.

Despite this, the investigation into the child sex assault claims remains active according to the Teller County Sheriff’s Office.

So what.

Why didn’t you post that the charges were dropped on Feb 28, 2023 because of insufficient evidence? Maybe he is guilty and maybe not but according to US: rule of law a person is innocent until proven guilty. Your failure to disclose all of the facts challenges your truthfulness.

Is 1914 still a major belief in JW land ? Or has it been abandoned ?

by smiddy3 in

i just wonder about this topic as it is now 109 years since that date and what was expected to take place has never happened ..

Fisherman

even remotely heard that any of them thought they are the one true religion.

Yeah, nothing special. It don’t matter to God what you do or what you believe. Anyone setting a standard is a cult.

Confirmed: CO Discourages Zoom

by XBEHERE in

jw
friends

i can confirm that the co during one of his service talks stated that zoom is a provision for elderly, infirmed, as well as people who might need it on occasion due to health reasons, otherwise you are expected to be in person at meetings and in the ministry.

this had to come down from the top.

maybe they do not want to put it in a gb update or broadcast since that would be too public i suppose.

Fisherman

is more about control than money.

I suppose there might be some zoomers that could be persuaded or forced to attend in person. But what to do with others that just won’t go in person, cut the lifeline?

1290 JW Congregations have been deleted since 4th Dec 2022

1290 jw congregations have been deleted since 4th dec 2022. i have a full map so you can explore active/deleted congs, and also orphaned halls https://analytics.jws-library.one/viewmap.html.

many of the deletions in the usa appear to be foreign language groups.

Fisherman

There was a time in the US when property was cheap and there was a lot of people coming in too and halls had too many people. Things are expensive nowadays so convenience will have to be put aside and people will need to travel to get to the hall. Congs need to be consolidated for financial reasons, I’m just guessing.

I will say that it appears that people nowadays don’t have the interest and fervor and excitement to join a religion in response to the preaching work and coming into the JW. Not so inclined.

In the generation will not pass away era, the excitement of the end coming and the cut off dates was a catalyst compelling( and the new teachings about jesus not dying on the cross and the trinity, etc) people to convert but Christian living theme of study presently is not very interesting.

Name any religion that advertises that they are NOT the true religion.

And in every trial each litigant presents his case; so it depends not on the presented claims and conclusions of the litigant but on the trier of facts to form an opinion. Of course if he is angry or offended with one of the litigant, he doesn’t care and doesn’t want it.

I remember the moonies, and harykrishnas who had a dwelling close to wt back in the day. On his way to work, RW saw HK in their garb every morning. They also played the moonies film in the theater close to wt back then. I saw the film. We had a hk come to the hall once and he told us he was there because he wanted to invite one of our females to a leave feast. We kicked him out.
