If you need literature, go to the Kingdom Hall and order them. That is how it has always been.

Will there be questions asked, generally speaking?

oh.... how the saga goes on!!

i swear we could write a novel about our life exiting the watchtower!!

ok..many of you read what happened..our house was egged and so was my sisters car that was parked here, and "frosty" was attacked!!

I'm not an attorney (although my mom is and my grandmother was a judge) and this is not legal advice....just one homeowner to another.

Consider this: If you now know everything about that evening and do nothing it could be argued (perhaps successfully) that you are tacitly OK with their visit. Now suppose one of the JWs, who might be uninsured, develops a back problem that supposedly occurred during his "visit" to your home?

It is a stretch but, might he sue you for his injury? If you think that is a stretch, think of the "attractive nuisance" laws. Think of robbers who are shot while committing the robbery who sue the person being robbed. There is an endless list of possibilities. Especially considering the animus that exists and the attempts to prevaricate

My only point is that you don't know what you don't know. Perhaps a report to the police without actually pressing charges would be a reasonable response.

Stranger things have happened. I would want to have an official record of what actually happened.

Jehovah's Witnesses and Racism

by karnage in

i have been wondering and trying to find some information into whether the wtbs has ever played the race game.

when i see pictures of the society of old, all i see is white people.

i don't see any blacks, asians, hispanic, or mixed (black and white or whatever) couples.

JW_Researcher

A more compelling analysis might take into consideration what society as a whole was saying at the time.

Judging these quotes by 21st century standards is suspect.

Judging the quotes by how deviant the quotes are from "mainstream" thought and publications of that time would provide more insight.

FWF Disavows GB on 9/7/75

by compound complex in

during the gilead school graduation exercises, september 7, 1975, fred franz admitted to the students and their families that no governing body existed during the time of the apostles, nor one since then.

he had already concluded that the doctrine of a governing body from the days of the apostles to the present was a false teaching.

as franz revealed the unscriptural nature of the doctrine, his audience sat in bewildered silence.

I read on Ray Franz's web site about the tape of this talk. Very interesting.

Could you please supply the URL for this website?

Thank you.

JeffT...I guess I just made up the following article:

Swalker,

I'm certain you didn't "make it up" but...I'm fairly certain it is not from a major news outlet (http://www.republicandictionary.com/article_environment.shtml) . Is that website your source?

To post the article without identifying the source, especially when it is a clearly biased source, makes me wonder about how you consume and digest the media.

Do you eat your media-vegtables, too....or just left-wing (which even you won't deny that website is) red meat? :-)
