  They are all out in field service, too busy to deal with email...~!!

  Too freaking funny, though.  They are serious about finding interested ones, you would think they would make it easier to  via the website and phone.  How hard is it to have round the clock coverage??  They have how many million people in the US spending money on gas and knocking on people's doors who have zero interest.  How many people at bethel in the US?  I cannot be that tough to have better phone and email management.

  Pretty funny that actual interested ones end up find xjw's way easier than active & corporate JWs.

  What I Saw & Heard in the Oral Argument Hearing on January 14, 2015

  by ABibleStudent in

  2. child-abuse

  im not an attorney and i could not record the hearing, so please forgive me if i make mistakes in relating what i remember of the oral argument hearing for jane doe (i.e., candace conti) versus the watchtower bible & tract society on january 14, 2015 and the length of this post.. i arrived at the civic center/union plaza in san francisco, ca about 7:30. the area is very nice with a few homeless people sleeping in the park across from the courthouse.

  it took me about 10 minutes to find the clerks office for the court on the first floor, which opened at 8:00.. once the clerks office opened, the two clerks who i talked with were very polite and helpful.

  the arguments for jane doe (i.e., candace conti) versus the watchtower bible & tract society were scheduled 5th out of (i think) 8. while i was in the office a cameraman and another person for nbc arrived asking about the hearing for candace contis case.. the courtroom for the 1st appellate court is on the 4th floor and takes up most of that floor.

  i was in the house with her for all of the last week of her life.

  she went quietly and peacefully and had people that cared a lot for her around at the end.

  she and dad touched a lot of lives in very positive ways.

  A poster (Chaserious) on another thread gave the address (because it is not clear from the link in to OP).

  It seems that the address for this court hearing is:

  1st District Court of Appeal
  350 McAllister Street, San Francisco, CA 94102

  I have a question about a quote from Ray Franz

  by Truth and Justice in

  2. friends

  hi to the group!.

  i have a question about a quote that ray franz made, and i am quoting him, his quote is as follows: page 283 of "crisis of conscience" top of the page:.

  fred was saying - in his comments, he stated that some were questioning the society's position (set forth in a recent watchtower) that jesus christ is the mediator only for the "anointed" ones and not for the other millions of jehovah's witnesses.

  I cannot speak about current doctrine and teachings about for whom Jesus is the mediator, but I have learned from this discussion board that the term 'Presiding Overseer' is no longer used.  The current term is CBOE - Coordinator of the Body of Elders.
