49.Nazilya Veliyeva, Arif Babayev and Rovshah Nariman ogly Mursalov, members of the same congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses, were reportedly called for interrogation and beaten around 16 November 1997. Rovshan Mursalov was allegedly beaten for refusing to sign a statement prepared by the police, and sought medical treatment for a burst eardrum sustained during the beatings. Eleven Jehovah's Witnesses have reportedly lodged complaints of ill-treatment with the Office of the Prosecutor.

I personaly think it all about the bribe was made up...

Fooled, Controlled, and Abused by the watchtower.

by frankiespeakin in

i first got the "trufh" when i was 19. knowing little about the bible being a catholic, i was searching for god, and was too trusting and too naive to see that i was being brought under watchtower mind control.. for 29 years, i let the watchtower tell me how to think, tell me how to interpret scriptures, and that was painful for me, coming out of mind control, is an unpleasant experience, dealing with cognitive dissonance, having your whole life turned upside down,.

when i found out the watchtower is a false prophet, i warned my family the best i could.

and for that i was rewarded by the watchtower bible track society with disfellowshipment, with subsequent shunning by many close family members and close friends.. .

this is what I found about Gerrit

Gerrit Lösch (1941-)

Gerrit Lösch was born in 1941 (in Austria?).

He was pioneer since November 1, 1961 and was circuit and district overseer in Austria between 1963 and 1976.

In 1965/1966 he was invited to the 41th Gilead class.

In 1967 he married to Merete and sometime after that they entered to the Bethel in Vienna, Austria, where he stayed 14 years.

In 1993/1994 was called to the world headquarters of Jehovah's Witnesses in Brooklyn, where he worked for the Executive Committee and Service Committee.

Lösch knows well the Watchtower activities in Europe and speaks German, English, Rumanian and Italian.

On July 1, 1994 he was appointed to the Governing Body.

WOULD YOU PREACH TO A DOG???

friends

this little gem is from the watchtower, january 15, 2000...."in el salvador,one man tied his vicious dog in front of the door whenever he saw jehovah's witnesses nearby.

the man would wait for the witnesses to move on, and then he would bring the dog back into the house.

the brothers were never able to speak to the man.

It was printed in the Watchtower, so it must be true.

Very funny, minimus

I have heard about theocraticly trained dogs, that help blind JW's preach the good news...
I wonder if they have to submit their monthly report...

The 28th marks the date the judge is supposed to rule on Vicki's case. As you may recall Watchtower has requested legal fees for her to pay in the amount of $160,000 after the Judge ruled in her favor with a $5,000 judgement to be paid to her. In court documents Watchtower is complaining that Vicki abused them by testifying that elders admonished her to not report her allegations of abuse to the police. It is another case of punishing abuse survivors that try to speak out and seek justice. Where do you think the $160,000 in legal fees came from? World Wide Work money that is donated to and by Jehovah's Witnesses. So if you wish to support the continued harassement and punishment of abuse survivors continue to contribute to this fund a few cents out of each dollar ultimately goes to defend child molesters.

Please send your prayers to go with Vicki today, it will be a very stressful time for her and the judge hopefully will see the injustice of what is being requested. Vicki needs all the help she can get and your prayers can assist in that regard.

Also the CBC program that aired earlier this year will have an update;

The show will air at 9pm. on September 3rd. Not much will be different except for the end, there should be an update on what happens today.
