  In the news Northwestern Memorial Hospital [where Jesse Smollett was taken after attack], evidently fired 6 nurses for accessing Jesse's file. I did a topic [I was unable to locate in order to bump up] on the Sept.1 1987 Wt. article "A Time to Speak When?" that got several comments as my aunt being fired for revealing confidential medical information. That article was the basis of the Lev.5:1 informant policy.

  Barbara Anderson researched that article "A Time to Speak When?' wrote an article posted on Watchtower Documents entitled "Flawed Decrees Conceal Criminals" of which she referred to in her TV story on the molestation of Romy Maples. This research project was the most time consuming project she ever took on.

  One surprise was the writer of "A Time to Speak When?" was Ray Franz!

  Barbara's conclusion was that the writings of the church pertaining to Lev.5:1 specifically direct elders to report molestations to police.

  Interesting read.

  if it is reoccurring as in comes and goes then probably treatable by stretching, walking. if obese get the weight off! The stretching is a serious program of various stretch's held for a hundred count, where you feel the muscle relax at about the 45 count then again before the 100 count. you should find many specific exercises on utube. these are not for sissies. Being pain free is a lot of dedicated work!!! But well worth it as spine surgery can be a crap shoot.

  Been there done that.

  i remember when my faith left me.

  i used to enjoy meetings and used to participate but then all of a sudden i was finding myself bored shitless at meetings.

  i was taken off the theocratic ministry school for not attending when i was due to give a talk and not long after did something naughty and got disfellowshiped.

  1984 when the Wt said "we would be preaching to the sons and daughters of those sighing and groaning in Ezk ch 9".

  I knew the church was going to deceive over 1975 and Matt. 24:34 was headed down the tube.

  I got a phone call a couple of hours ago to set up a service call for a Peterbuilt truck mounted with a vacuum unit at the Skyway Base Camp. As I am the outside road service provider for local Peterbuilt truck dealer. I don't think the service call will develop as the problem is in the vacuum unit which has it own specialized software package.

  Those fire camps are very interesting, I have been to many. Last month I went to the Delta Fire camp in McCloud. For the purpose of heating and bending down bridge plate bent by a Cat track 'grouser". The bridge was privately owned I was told by the guy who owned the Oakland "Athletics" baseball club. The owner was due into this forest retreat [built by the Schilling seasoning family] [next to the Patty Hearst retreat on the private McCloud River] that evening and the USFS did not want to chance he would damage a tire. This was two days after the Athletics lost to the Yankee's, the guy probably in a foul mood.

  The bridge was down about 9 miles into the USFS forest. It was absolutely beautiful creek. The Hearst compound and the other compounds are legendary retreats, for the natural beauty of forest and pristine wild river.

  The Delta Fire base camp was at an old saw mill in McCloud. A big building, but there were other buildings as big but now torn down. Evidently that saw mill supplied the lumber to rebuild San Francisco from the earthquake and fire, a century ago. The glory days of logging.

  Just some local trivia.

  After watching A&E Leah Remini on Jehovah Witnesses I am going to stop hiding behind my Avatar

  just got done watching this program and what impress me the most was the bravery of those x-witnesses to sit there on national tv and tell everyone how the wt.

  cult affected them.

  no hidden faces, no avatar names and no disguise.

  yeah, been there done that, 67 or 68 same issue same circumstance, only different sentence. The Sacramento judge fined $3,000 and 5 years probation. He figured prison for JW's was pointless and just a government expense. He was a fan of Abraham Lincoln and as during the Civil War one could buy their way out of army for $300, he just factored in inflation and made it $3,000.

  I share your feelings of resentment as to the absence of human feeling and willingness to sacrifice peoples lives in pure hypocrisy.

  one of my best friends is in the security business.

  he told me the other day of how the watch tower has been in contact with his good friend and business associate.

  evidently they are inquiring about putting cameras into every kh so that they can do 24 hour monitoring.

  That is to watch me tape letters and posts from this web site on their church doors, per Martin Luther!

  They need to watch close as to whether or not I do damage to provide evidence to get a restraining order.

  Saturday 6 KH's got the Thompsom Falls Newspaper article. Today they get the court exhibits

  Last night the Red Bluff Ca. where James Henderson the child molester is from got copies.

  I have taped lots of things to KH doors, even taped pretty pink panties when I had heard the swindler at the center of my dispute wife left him because of being homo.

  Realize I use tape not nails tacks like my exemplar Martin Luther, can't trigger a restraining order for damaging church property.

  Is Child Abuse An Issue That You Personally Have Seen In The Organization?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  as an elder, i saw one child abuse situation involving a man who wanted to be an elder and had i believe 8 children.

  he was not in our congregation when this all erupted.

  he denied it and moved to another hall and unbelievably, that body of elders wanted to appoint him since they believed his entire family was lying about him.

  I Was only in one molestation about 1973. A 18 year old married man molested a child right in the Hall, the Elders meet with him that night, although the senior elders really didn't knew what to do because he was not baptized and kind of left it hanging. He lived right behind my house, so next morning I knocked on his door and told him "if you ever touch another child I will break your fucking neck!".

  He was out of town that afternoon. I called Brooklyn where they said we could phone ahead and bar him from entering into another KH in the L.A. area his father was in. I did and he was not allowed in a KH as long as I knew. The child's mom was just a study and because of that decisive action became a witness.
