  Thanks,

  Hi Queenie,

  It is sad that some nice people, even though they are JW's, will pay the price. In regards to my sister-in-law. If you knew her you wouldn't feel bad that she cried. She claims to be "old School" when she's only 27.

  She's the "righteous queen". She made me cry early this year for no reason. I then asked her to try to display the fruits of the spirit. She responded in front of her husband, my brother an elder that she didn't need to display the fruits of the spirit.

  So I don't feel bad that she cried. She's getting a bit of her own medecine.

  Mike,

  I thought you're from New York? You e-mailed me once asking me if I was from NY & I said NO-West Coast. Are you back in the state of Washington? Are you attending the meetings in Othello? My brother visits Othello & gives the public talk.

  Ya se que hablas espanol. Mandame un e-mail. No te preocupes que no revelare tu identidad.

  Hi Mike,

  I've read your other posts that you have family in Othello. My family lives about 40 miles more or less north of Othello. I'm in contact with Erica and we know lots of the same 'old brothers from the area'.

  Contact Erica & ask her about me. She'll give you info.

  My brother, who is an elder, just called me to see how I was doing. He doesn't know that I'm not attending the meetings.

  I asked him how him & his wife, a pioneer are doing. I asked him about his wife's pionnering. He told me that people have been really "rude" due to all the WTS Children abuse in the media & that they hardly placed any magazines with householders anymore. A housewife slammed the door on my sister-in-law saying, "I Do Not Support Pedophile Preaching Witnesses. I Refuse to live Forever in a Paradise on earth with Pedophiles" My sister-in-law started crying & left.

  She hasn't started any new bible studies in months. Her bible studies are no longer wanting to study. They keep asking "excellent" questions on the abuse issues. They have had to reduce their magazine order by from 200 (100 sets) to 120 or 60 sets. He is thinking of reducing it again since they can't even place 1/2 of them anymore.

  Since alot of "worldly" people found out about our sister's abuse, non-JW's are telling him, "Your own father abused your little sister. Why didn't you report it to the authorities."

  He cant deny that the media is speaking with the truth since his own father, my stepfather, was disfellowshipped for abusing our little sister in the mid 90's.

  I didn't dare tell him - YET - any of the "real" information of the WTS- false prophecies, UN & other. I will wait for the perfect time.

  YES!!!

  Seattle Times reporter calls about more victims

  bruce baker, who led the press conference a week ago, in seattle, just called to tell me that the reporter who wrote the article for the seattle times, had called him to say there were 36 victims who replied to her after her article came out.

  they all have told her the information is correct, but that they are fearful of "coming out" because they are still active jw's, and are in fear of being df'd.

  she is planning an in-depth article in the times to correspond with the march on september 27.. stay tuned.

  the paducah sun on 1-28-01 stated: (enfasis is mine): .

  both brown and moreno said that the elders, who volunteer and are essentially untrained clergy, might err in their application of a policy both believe puts protecting children first.

  "it's a matter of trying to balance confidentiality and protecting the child," brown said.

  Christian observer mentioned *ecclesial privilege*. Why would the JW's be able to use this ecclesial privilege if they are untrained? Where is their degree? They should be able to 'take full responsiblity' for the abuse cases due to the WTS lack of training their "clergy".

  Hi searcher,

  Thanks for your info. Where can I get a copy of the exemption rules? If it hasn't come up in court maybe ex-JW's should contact the attorneys, who are taking the WTS to court, not being JW's they might not understand all the ins & outs of JW's but with some 'help' they might understand it better by giving them the winning edge.

  Church/State "Caesar's laws" & WTS

  fact - the wts has their own judicial committees.

  who gave them the authority to have their own trials just like a government court system?

  if the the government can't mix with the chuch (in certain countries), why can it be the other way around?
