It Is Amazing What A College Education Will Buy
by messenger inwell it appears a good education will get you a nice "witness" funeral.

This is my take on it.
This is an Obituary. A family member usually writes the obit. Perhaps the wife was NOT a JW and was not inclined to report any JW involvement. Perhaps his children or mother were, and there wishes were for a JW funeral.
Maybe he became a JW after 1986..... Who knows? Why am I speculating. The man is dead.

Listen! Her blood cries out from the ground!
by Bridgette ini cannot forget this little girl.. ezekiel 34:12 this is what the sovereign lord says: i am against the shepherds and will hold them accountable for my flock.
i will remove them from tending the flock so that the shepherds can no longer feed themselves.
i will rescue my flock from their mouths, and it will no longer be food for them".

The title of this thread gave me chills. Bridgett thank you for a well written post concerning this tragic event.
It has taken me awhile to respond to this thread. Because it hit so close to home as I know it did you as well and many others including those who may not have suffered physical or emotional abuse. The outrageous act itself IS A CRY, IMHO for a change to be made in the JW faith.
It is true that abuse occurs in every religion but the fact stands that IN THE JW religion you must have 2 witnesses to any allegation made against your "brother." I can only imagine that these children wanted to speak out but were afraid or stifled by the elders. This gives me nightmares. What if the these children had gone to the elders in the past? What if they were turned away as so many are? These thoughts make my blood curdle.
I know this may sound off but I hope that in the trial (if there is one since they have given statements admitting guilt) it may come out that these children DID ask for help and were turned away. This IMO will show once again the JW belief system is flawed and perhaps changes can occur from there.
Bill Bowen has given voice to many "silent lambs" and I hope that this will continue until a new message is sent to abuse victims. One that says come to me and I shall indeed protect you and I will assure your safety. NOT, "do you have two witnesses?" Sorry we cant help!
I am not sure if I am making sense right now as I write this I am very emotional.
((((((April)))))
I cry with you and hear you. One of my reasons for responding to this thread was your question about trial transcripts.If the case is one to which the general public is granted access (due to it being a murder case I am sure access shall be granted) anyone interested may read the testimony contained in a transcript. If the case is appealed and sent to a higher court there will be times the transcripts will not be available.
You can call the local court for a transcript when the trial is over or in a transitional stage. Fees will apply April, if you can't go to the court to read the transcripts. At times fees can be as much as 3-4 dollars per page. Transcripts themselves can be hundreds of pages long, especially considering this is a homicide where 2 defendants are being charged.
Local, State and Federal Rules of Court govern official court reporters and the production of transcripts. Requests for transcription from nonparty individuals will be handled on a case-by-case basis. So I suggest you call the clerk of the court to find out what laws apply in that state, as all states vary.
Hugs to you......

Only J.w's will survive the big A
by toddy inmy question is,if it is true that only j.w's will survive then surely everybody on the planet should at least get the option of becoming a witness,but there are people living in remote parts of the world who rarely come into contact with civilisation,im pretty sure there are still small tribes of people living in some rainforest who haven't even been discovered yet,where do theses people fit in,do they just perish like the rest of us?.
sorry if this is a daft question,been on the guinness all night!
