because they are normal, mankind, drunk on power and want followers (the hierarchy is in every group) --- everytime i think i allowed their saleswomen inside my very own home and was stupid to listen to miserable, unhappy, sistas telling one where to buy clothes, the size of home/neighborhood to live in, etc., makes me SICK! i wasn't about to follow their commands. the good ole boys kept their distance and everytime i was asked what my husband thought of the drivel (religion) i was truthful --- he thought it was one hell of a pecking order and any religion that says they're the truth would raise a RED FLAG FOR HIM and how can they prove the bible is true GOES TO prove one needs major education (about their family of origin to the reading of many books) to understand the dynamics of life and evil religion. there's many educated souls that have been/are members.

32GB says they are NOT responsible for people acting on their counsel
by LUKEWARM in.. *** w98 3/15 p. 22 par.
15 living up to christian dedication in freedom ***.
15if a witness makes decisions on the basis of bible counsel offered by the governing body, he does so of his own volition because his own study of the bible has convinced him that this is the proper course.

the free lawyers at bethel obviously have a shoe up with the laws of this country (US) protecting religions (sickening and sounds like you're in england or austrailia) regardless of whether they're real, practicing, attorneys (successful ones who've practiced law in great firms around the country and bethel recruited them into the fold, & this is very doubtful), but for sure if their in-house counsel have half a brain can shoot the avg. disfellowshipping case to pieces. US courts don't want anything to do with this religious stuff (not talking, of course, about child molestation cases and watchtower for sure hires outside real litigators in these cases). i'm on your side and would fight them for any reason if the laws in your country are on your side --- otherwise maybe consider it a blessing and send them a thank-you note for releasing you from their demonic control.

New Chapter --- you are right about the poor, unfortunate, minority and they should be represented by the best and it's wrong that they aren't. Sometimes the prosecutors aren't the smartest out there. With the justice system the way it is --- the penalty is scary.

our justice system clearly failed -- my opinion and EVIL PREVAILS. how can the innocent children be protected -- oh, that's right, they CAN'T. UNREAL. and those stupid lawyers who protect these losers --- i pray they pay for this. was her attorney court-appointed. if she's not rich he must have been representing her for the publicity.

i can't believe i fell for it after telling a brainwashed family member for yrs. something wasn't right while i went ahead and read the literature.
i think we so desperately want a world of justice and become swept away with hope. many times i ask my husband and another lawyer how they practice law knowing there's no such thing as justice and mankind's immense suffering. i realize the system protects/helps in many situations. living forever to fulfill our dreams and never dying along with the animals is the best i'd ever been offered plus it was happening very soon. i still want to have hope in a higher power to help mankind so right there sums it up for me. ahhh, fantasies are so hard to walk away from.

Maximum Damage to the WT.
by Essan ini have to hand it to the society.
they understand the power of organization.
they demonstrate that no matter how ridiculous your message and how much the facts don't support your position you can still accomplish a lot if you are organized.

30 yrs. out --- yes, i can relate w/abusers who don't drink/drug. they don't need to imbibe -- they're worse than a drunk naturally. CRAZY DRY DRUNKS, rageaholics, etc. many times these dry drunks were never raised around a drunk themselves but are an exact copy of one of their own parents who grew up around an alcoholic. they need to be in mental institutions not marriages hurting/abusing children and animals.
