26Had a wonderful visit with Mr and Mrs Flipper Sat.
by 3rdgen ini haven't posted much lately because i got a new job at the end of nov. and it's taken much of my time and mental energy.
i still read though and care for you all very much so i thought i should let you know about the meet-up i had yesterday with mr and mrs flipper.. hubby got a call the day before from flipper saying he and his wife were going to visit his mother (who is in a rest home in my town) and would we like to meet up for coffee?
hubby couldn't make it but i was delighted to accept.. we picked a burger place not far from the rest home and where i knew jdubs don't usually hang out on saturdays.

Midweek meeting
by loneranger inalmost two months into the change in format of the mid week meeting from the school and service meeting format to the christian life and ministry (clam) format.
in my congregation, seems attendance is down 10-15% over the normally low attendance for the mid week meeting before the change.
some indicate that the meeting under the clam format is very "intense"...you really need to study and research to be able to participate or get anything out of the meetings.

Well I must say this is good news to hear.
after reading the comments it shows the dumbing down in the approach to the flock will end up with more and more distancing themselves. How some defend this approach is amazing to me. I got them in my own family. Sigh

It's so funny/not funny how they keep changing what is a founding core belief. I mean, everything hinges on they being "inspired but not inspired" and so the reason we should believe everything they say.

by OrphanCrow incourt denies summary judgement for laurel jehovah's witnesses congregation.
a motion for summary judgement is denied in a case against the laurel congregation of jehovah's witnesses and some individuals over child abuse reporting issues.a lawyer for the congregation maintained that elders were exempted from reporting requirements under a state law because of clergy privilege and confidentiality.the case resulted from allegations that elders did not report an unlawful sexual relationship between a woman and a 14-year-old boy, both of whom were members of the jehovah's witnesses congregation.. download the court opinion here.

What confounds...well practically everybody in the world except for JW elders and the WT corporation, is that there is so little regard for the victims in these cases.
We are talking about statutory rape here in the OP...and there are now 12 pages on this thread regarding a corporation's "right" to not report a crime.
It is sad they lack such empathy and have such a disconnect to fellow humans. From the top down it is so cold...protect the corporation at all costs. And cost them...it has and it will.

Where the society blows it and will continue to blow it is everywhere I have quickly read, the clergy person is singular. It does not read, "clergymen, judicial committees, legal desk at corporate headquarters, traveling overseers, neighboring congregation elders and their friends."
There is no confidentiality with the WT as was the intention in the constitution for a penitent to have a confidential and safe environment TO GO TO. It's beautiful how this argument has failed at all levels for the Watchtower Corporation.

Any other attempts to disqualify JW existing church "confession" settings will be overturned.
I don't believe any attempt has been successful. LOL.

Thank you blondie. They are getting quite a different reputation worldwide than they tell themselves. It's great to see the curtain finally pulled to the side.
As we wised up we have observed the WT most definitely has clergy/laity. And the courts and the law of the land confirm it.
