With ABC catching pedo and wife right at their home (had several times prior refused to speak to media) and filming, caused a lot of damage to the WT case. The media trying to get some filmage at the Headquarters would certainly be a goal some way, trying to get reaction of workers (Bethelites) should be expected. For sure, the Bethelites have or are for sure being instructed to not respond to any media currently. ( I worked for a company years ago, involved in a legal dispute, instructed all of us workers not to speak to anyone, media or other.) I suspect there is a lot of tension within Bethel right now.

Yet, this "third eye" concept, his sunglasses, represent some extra enlightenment with the individual, not a JW concept. Special enlightenment is only through the GB, not within the individual JW.
Wiki: The third eye (also known as the inner eye) is a mystical and esoteric concept referring to a speculative invisible eye which provides perception beyond ordinary sight.[1] In certain dharmic spiritual traditions such as Hinduism, the third eye refers to the ajna, or brow, chakra.[2] In Theosophy it is related to the pineal gland.[3] The third eye refers to the gate that leads to inner realms and spaces of higher consciousness. In New Age spirituality, the third eye often symbolizes a state of enlightenment or the evocation of mental images having deeply personal spiritual or psychological significance. The third eye is often associated with religious visions, clairvoyance, the ability to observe chakras and auras,[4] precognition, and out-of-body experiences. People who are claimed to have the capacity to utilize their third eyes are sometimes known as seers.

at 2014 conventions (regional?) 14,039 baptized. Outstanding for 13,871 Congs! ???
Since they state "u.s. branch territory," may include some addl island Congs. But avg. would still be 1/Cong.
Comical, when they boast about their grand increase and building needs.

Child Abuse Trials
by Garrett ini'm currently working something up to share with a few people.
i was wondering if anyone knew the current number (estimation) of child abuse cases that are going on (that we know about)?

According to Oct.1st 2012 WT Directions- Past Child Molesters CAN Be Appointed Elders
by flipper inconsidering the fact that the wt society refuses to release in courts any of it's written directions to elders through confidential letters to elder bodies- i thought i'd do the courts and wt society a "favor " by posting excerpts from this oct 1st.
2012 letter from the wt society to all bodies of elders.
these instructions are very exposing of the negligence of wt authorities in how they view the seriousness of felony child abuse.

It will take the government to deny the jw.org 'charity-free' status unless they change this insane 2-witness policy on this issue. The GB is too arrogant to submit to the government rulings. Lawyer, Irwin Zalkin, is pushing for Wt. Files exposure on pedophile cases. This issue will not stop. The GB have no heart for the children, only burdens them in every way. -

I quit the Theocratic Ministry School
by My Name is of No Consequence inafter almost 24 years in the school and doing it since i was nine years old, i officially resigned.
it has become increasingly difficult to prepare talks, especially with the new format for brothers.
i did not mind doing them; i actually put the time and effort into getting them out.

I think many have an appreciation of ministry school. Maybe it can seem that way for males, but not for females. The straight out talking to an audience was not the female experience. Also, for you males that have good audience speaking skills, I believe it is possibly your own personal inclination. You would have been inclined for such development thru school or college. Sorry, I can't give such talent for it to the limiting WTS. I give congrats to 'you' if you have gift/talent, not org. -

Please update me on these subjects
by NoGoodDeed ini'm sorry that i do not get the time to visit this site very often, but when i do i find it a bit exciting to see what has happened since my last visit.
this post is really about two subjects, but i think that they connect so i will only do one introduction.. child abuse:.
it's almost march and i have not heard whether candace conti or the watchtower won her case before the california state appeal supreme court.

Seems like Irwin Zalkin discovered an 'Achilles's heel' by calling a GB to Court. Such cowards. Here the GB require the JW children to not salute the flag every day at school, which is very difficult for the kids and the GB, have required thousands of young JW men to refuse drafting in military to point of having to go to prison. Yet, when called to Court, they refuse to show up. Cowards! They make their own suffer for their supposed 'truth' but they themselves hide in their 'ivory tower' compound.

Introducing myself
by maksutov inmy name is russ, i'm 40 years old, from the uk, and i left the jws nearly 5 years ago.
i've been a member of the yuku board throughout that time, so there are probably some on here who know me already.
there seems to be more activity over here at the moment, so i thought i'd pop in and say hi.i was raised as a jw, started questioning it when i was 16, but there was no internet back then (well, no www anyway) so i got sucked right in and got baptized when i was 18. auxiliary pioneered on and off for a couple of years, then became a ministerial servant.

Seems like w/2014, 100-year anniversary plus dramatic international conventions, they used up their available youth in the push for baptisms. Less pickings for this year.
Seems they would in the future just have baptisms at the regionals, once a year. More dramatic for crowd. Seems that just a handful of baptisms would not be so impressive - especially when they're claiming the need to build thousands of KHs.
