has anyone else heard this?
a poster on another thread said it's a new rule brought in at this years convention.. last year they were told to shun even non df people and now this?
a religion cant force someone where to plonk their ass surely?.
I am thinking maybe they are getting confused with the Sonia Erickson video from last year. In that she was disfellowshiped for 15 years. When she decided to seek reinstatement it showed her sitting in back room for a year before being reinstated. In the video it was stated that it was a year before reinstatement.
I would say the message among JW's has got a little blurred.
i just watched the live feed from the russian court room and followed the updates on the russian exjw forum.. just waiting for confirmation from other sources...but, it looks like the final (and expected) result is:.
banned.
which means that the wts property in russia now belongs to the russian state..
this guy makes a interesting point

what is it with this pair?
why do they have to constantly have a bitch about guys like john cedars?
a very recent video of them shows them calling him a 'village idiot' and making other disparaging claims.
If it is the same video I watched I believe that video was some time ago nearly a year and they have not been making any videos of late.
I am never impressed when people air their dirty linen in public. I watched that video and felt it was like kids in a school yard calling someone names.
Anyway to their credit they were on a panel with some exjws and it was excellent

joint statement of o'brien and spinks.
I notice the ARC took out a summons for all communication about child abuse between Australia and GB since case 29.
Also Australia begged GB for permission to give ARC the AUG 1 BOE letter before it gets released onto the internet,,, ha ha you naughty boys

i believe this has appeared into today's edition of the cairns post print newspaper (saturday 4 february 2017) at the top of page 4 under the headline: "indecent charges for man" - the actual text of the article is apparently the same as the online version below:.
cairns post - saturday 4 february 2017. tablelands police charge former jehovah’s witness with offences against children.
an elderly tablelands man and former jehovah’s witness member will appear in court this month amid allegations he molested three young girls from the church more than 25 years ago.
Jeffro:
You are right the article is not the same as the BCG case.
I believe Angus was questioning Ron de Rooy about another case not related to BCG that happened in the Mareeba congregation.
watch the video again my understanding is that Angus is not talking about BCG's father. Ron de Rooy says he vaguely remembers dealing with this person.

This is the elder from Mareeba congregation. I would have a guess that Angus is questioning the elder about this case.
Very damming if it is the same case as in the lead up to this questioning, Angus is asking the elder how do you protect the congregation from an abuser if he is deemed repentant and no one knows he is an abuser.. check it out.
start at 10:57

just quickly I tried my vpn not available US or Australia. worked for UK and philipines
just doing research and came across this.. i know this is old however.
here we have a worldly organisation distributing pamphlets and warning parents about child abuse.. last point in particular.
3) inform the child that what happened is against the law and that it is necessary to report it to the police so that it will not happen again.. pretty straight forward if you ask me.. watchtower were happy to use that in their magazine.
yeah I am happy with this find.... I will be saving this article..
I wonder whether someone managed to sneak this into the magazine before someone higher up realized..
"hey what were you thinking? I don't think we should put that in the mag. we don't want the brothers getting the idea we should report child abusers to the police".....
in 1967 richard avedon published a poster of his portraits of the beatles.
my jw aunt attacked it for being spiritualistic!
the "third" eye on george's palm was spiritualistic!
I remember some time in the late 70's or 80's.. They had a convention part mentioning the spiritistic dangers of music.. They told us go home and look at your record covers if you see something suspicious destroy it..poor old Billy Joel got turfed because his eyes were spooky.. I am rather embarrassed to think I was so gullible..
