SCC ruling 1993 - Child's best intrests more imp. then freedom of worship
by kwintestal in
1. watchtower
2. child-abuse
i found these two rulings yesterday.

i may be mistaken, but it appears to be quite interesting rulings.

i believe the two cases are connected, as the pages go from young v. young ending at page 140, then p. (d.) v. s. (c.) starts at page 141.. young v. young.

by JH in
1. jw
2. friends
.

once a year, the watchtower society publishes a book with all the statistics they feel necessary to print and show the world, like the total number of hours spent in the field service and how many bible studies there were.. to be perfectly honest, what other statistic should they also include to give a more realistic picture of what's going on in that organization?.

As God Is My Witness....
by MidwichCuckoo in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
god is all knowing, god is all seeing, there is even a precedent that god is 'de facto' editor of the watchtower.

is there therefore any reason why god could not be the default second witness in the case of an abuse claim within the jw community?.

for this to stand up in an enquiry, the second witness (jehovah) would have to give evidence.
