Thanks Tech and BOC! Baptisms show low numbers for sure. I do think without the '100 anniversary', and 'International' flavor of 2014 and hype, that baptisms will go back down this year. -

I am sure all her fellow students will forget all the other speeches that day, but never hers.
I am so impressed how the leaving youth are more proactive and speaking out about the JW facts. If one former JW helps one person from ever getting into the clutches of the jw.org and some will be somewhat knowledgeable to possibly share with another person. Starts with 'one.'

So I understand either party can petition w/i 10 days. California Supreme Court has 60 days to accept or not. California Supreme Court only accepts less than 5% of petition requests.

“We are not done yet!” – Candace Conti reacts to appeal court decision
by Watchtower-Free inhttp://jwsurvey.org/cedars-blog/we-are-not-done-yet-candace-reacts-to-appeal-court-decision.
candace conti (pictured in her interview with abc) has spoken out for the first time about the appeal court decision.
as current and former jehovahs witnesses digest the news that watchtowers appeal against the candace conti verdict has faltered, albeit with the punitive element of the judgment reversed, candace has reacted for the first time by telling me: we are not done yet.. news spread on monday that the state appeals court in san francisco had upheld the $2.8 million compensatory damages in the original june 2012 verdict, but overturned the $8.6 million punitive award against watchtower.. the court decided that, though watchtower had neglected its responsibility to supervise known pedophile jonathan kendrick in field ministry, a church-sponsored activity, the organization had no duty to warn parents in the congregation that a pedophile was in their midst or report him to authorities.. an insightful report by investigative reporter trey bundy has suggested that the court reached its decision because the precedent set by the conti verdict might be too burdensome to enforce.. the burden would be considerable because the precedent could require a church to intervene whenever it has reason to believe that a congregation member is capable of doing harm, and the scope of that duty could not be limited with any precision, the judges wrote.. candaces attorney rick simons responded by pointedly telling bundy: they think in public policy terms that theres too much risk in broadening the churchs responsibility and liability so that it burdens what churches do.

Guatemalan schools request publications from Jehovah's Witnesses
by Gayle inguatemalan schools request publications from jehovah's witnesses.
by kevin jess 21 hours ago in world .
guatemala city - as crime rises exponentially in guatemala, three schools have requested publications from jehovah's witnesses in an effort to curb youth crime in the country.

Gayle
an official document from the Official Rural Coeducational Elementary School in Paraje Xepec, Professor Maria Cortez stated that the publications were requested “to rescue the values and moral principles that are much needed in society.”
Should we write letters to Professor Maria and provide facts about JW tactics for children, fear tactic/threats of destruction by their god and shunning from their families. JWisms cannot cure nor help their Guatemalan youth.
