so again we go to the quality of evidence used by the wt.. you can read the article here - https://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/awake-no5-2016-october/did-jesus-really-exist/.

you see the wt refer to experts with quotes.

as is usually the case the credentials are not represented, just that they are experts (so take their word).

Did Jesus Really Exist?

Of course he existed; why everyone knows he was white with a trim Western style beard.

Having No Political Opinion Is Bull Crap

by Ame SF in

hello, i'm ame and after such heartwarming feedback last time from my other topic sharing my current situation, i felt the urge to just share an experience of mine that accrued a few weeks ago.. i was at mcdonalds with my mother and little brother, eating our food and in the background was the news playing on the tvs they had in the dining area.

and what were they talking about on the news?.

gun control.. now, i love the news.

From what I've seen on this forum, once you're out of the JWs you tend to fall into the same spectrum of political opinion that everyone in "the world" does.

How did the police know where to look?
Did they sieze publisher record cards to find out where JWs live?

I do remember hearing on the video that brother so-and-so had left the 'Truth' right in the middle of the "great tribulation". I'm figuring he snitched on them and their location.

Judge sanctions WTS - $4k per day penalty for not producing sex abuse documents

by Simon in

judge sanctions jehovah's witnesses.

imposes $4000-a-day penalty for not producing documents in sex-abuse case.

by dorian hargrove, june 24, 2016. a san diego superior court judge has ordered the church of jehovah's witnesses, also known as the watchtower bible and tract society of pennsylvania, to pay $4000 a day for every day that it fails to produce documents requested in a civil lawsuit brought by former parishioner, osbaldo padron, who claims a church elder sexually abused him when he was seven years old.. in a june 23 ruling, expected to be made final today, judge richard strauss admonished the church for willfully ignoring a court order to produce all documents associated with a 1997 body of elders letter that church leaders sent to parishes around the world in a quest to learn about sexual abuse of children by church leaders.. over the course of the past year, the watchtower society and its lawyers have fought hard to keep the letter confidential, claiming that turning over the documents would infringe on the privacy of those mentioned in the letter that were not associated with the case.. in march 2015, the church turned over a heavily redacted version of the letter.

Village Idiot

Crazyguy: Unfortunately that only about 1.5 million per year. The watchtower could just ingnore the court for years.

But what if it multiple cases like these occur. Fifty cases throughout the U.S. would add up to $75 million per year. Even ten would take a pound of flesh from them.
