as most suspected, the wts filed their brief, at least it looks that way..... http://appellatecases.courtinfo.ca.gov/search/case/dockets.cfm?dist=1&doc_id=2025979&doc_no=a136641.
it also notes aob in excess of word count limit.. wonder if they did that to buy more time?.
what does this mean?
| Something is due; see note. | 04/02/2013 | check on order to file AOB. check on order for pro hac |
(so the 'legalese hat dance' continues)
so do I understand, that the 'brief' was not so brief but 'volumes' were sent by the WTS? Now the judge or a group of judges have to read all this and they have to decide 'if' in fact some court error happened in the hearing? Then, what options could the appellate judge group order?

Guess rick simon,,Candace's attorney, will have to 'sing' for us, first, before we can applaud ?

i am stunned by candace's huge court victory.
it is overdue.
i have been reading comments on jvn, huffington, san jose mercury, nbc, and other sources.
I hope for the full success of Ms Conti case. Though, it would probably take many more such cases to effect the WTS. It took many cases for the Catholic Church to come to terms of this kind of prob. Even yet, the Catholic Church prospers and grows..
i was shopping with nugget in sainsburys and i saw them in the bread aisle.
a couple in their late 70's / early 80's who really i do have an affection for.
he was an ms when i left, not sure if he still is, and she was just a very genuine person with decades of "faithful service" to the cult.. when i was a newly appointed elder, their grand-daughter had accused her step-father of sexual abuse, he was eventually df'd but has since my leaving been reinstated.
It is so sad how many are stuck in the WTS created 'limbo.' - the 'no where else to go' syndrome.
seriously?...how sillier can these people get...i have completely faded and stopped going for 6 months now...they never ever called me to say hi while i was there or when i recently stopped going.... then now all of a sudden the memorial is here and they want to call me?
how about trying to get their attendance up or fill in some numbers.... i can only lmao at this cult...satan has these jw's by the neck.... so sad....
Last year the U.S. had a -2.4% (decrease) for the Memorial. They don't want a decrease again.
Always give the 'positives' of this life to your children. You have so much more to offer them. 'This' life is wonderful, interesting, fun. Demonstrate your 'unconditional love.' (You would never just cut them off, as JW children learn to fear). All the 'real' things are just a normal lifestyle that good parents show their small children, one day at a time. There are so many positive development programs for them.
The WT meetings only teach children to 'space out' and how to 'knock' on doors.
The WTS only presents 'negatives,' a 'take away' of the natural child. Their childhood doesn't last long. Give them their freedom of mind and heart as a loving guiding parent. Children don't need the fear of big "A" to do right.
I enjoyed the movie, "Not Without my Daughter" (true story) with Sally Fields. Of course, much more dramatic, but nonetheless, the mother saw a horrible religion being imposed on her daughter. She realized she could risk her life, but she was determined in discretionary ways to get herself and her daughter free.
Though your husband is "inactive," be careful, as often, some will reactivate, if they feel threatened. Many are 'stuck' there anyway.
Many best wishes to you and your family and may your 'flight' be not too bumpy!
that article about jehovah's witnesses having the lowest retention rate for born ins keeps popping up every now again ... i'm just curious if any of you have noticed that this is actually the case.
in the congregation that i grew up in, i'm going to say that 95% of the young people in their teens to mid twenties are either regular pioneering, regular auxiliary pioneering, serving in foreign language congregations or where the need is greater.
both of my younger sisters are regular pioneers - and the young people in their hall even organize 8 pm to midnight service on friday nights of their own accord.

"service" ? do you mean a 'meeting?' I doubt that will last long,,what are they doing for 4 hours? did this happen once or is it a regular thing?
here was my story posted originally about 2 years ago.
http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/205854/1/as-a-witness-what-view-of-the-world-did-you-have-heres-my-story.
and my extended story on jwrecovery:.
I suspect plenty draw the line if there was an "official" disfellowshipping or not regarding their family member. The "moving" away ploy keeps many off the radar of gossip or meddling. The one who moved away may help the active JW family who can then just shrug and 'skirt' out of questions and being put on the spot about their actioning. Some figure out how to keep their family business 'private.'
this popped up on the age website today, might have to buy the paper tomorrow..... http://www.theage.com.au/national/jehovahs-witnesses-a-cruel-cult-20130315-2g5x3.html.
A spokesman for the church in Australia, Sydney solicitor Vincent Toole, dismissed the allegations and said shunning was a"myth."
This is an example of how the sly JW squeaks in their lies, due to their small-minded use of 'semantics.' They use the word "disfellowship," instead of the word "shun." But it only is a "you say 'tomato' (with long a) and I say 'tomato' (a- as ah sound) ploy. Their disfellowshipping 'practice' is the same as shunning 'practice.'
