Some really good points in the complaint especially focusing on the congregation control over every aspect of a persons life clearly demonstrating a special relationship. Every time a new case comes forward, the legal brief is just going to get better and better. No more can they say they are not responsible for the actions of congregation members when they control the members at such a detailed level. Go get em!!

Thank you Barbara for your work on this, you seem a million miles away from me here in London UK yet so close for the cause.

A day in the life of a fading JW
by dissonance_resolved ini'm five months into my slow fade and it's going so-so.
my saturday morning was spent on a 3-mile jog and taking the kids to the park, which was great, but i'm still shuddering from the potential alternative.
at the last meeting, an elderette literally blocked the exit to prevent my escape and said she just "noticed" that we were in the same field service group and would i like to work with her in service on saturday?

I got the impression Dissonance Resolved was female?? Anyway, keep up the good work even though at times it feels far from good. It's a long road for most but it really does make you stronger and happier. You must already be feeling a weight lifting and the silly guilt trips fading.

Isn`t it ludicrous women can be king/queen preists in heaven and rule with jesus in heaven,yet be silent and submissive to males in the congrgations ?
by smiddy inis this just another example of the bible being inconsistent/contradictory ?
or is it screwed up wt.theology.. what`s your thoughts.

Yet another JW child abuse cover-up in the UK news...
by cedars inbradford pedophile massimo capazzo was disfellowshipped for grooming and abusing two young boys, but the elders never told the police.. he was only prosecuted after turning himself in.. not surprisingly, both victims now need professional help and wrestle with "feelings of worthlessness and guilt.".

Good exposure. However, I wish this would hit the news harder. There are so many stories we know of but I get the feeling the media don't pick up on JW dirt as much as they do the with mainstream religions.
When you think of the stand JW's make and the claims they make, child abuse scandals are actually bigger stories than the same in any other religion.

Why do you blame Jehovah's Witnesses for false predictions ?
by Phizzy inwhen you read the pseudapigraphical 2nd peter chapter 3 and other nt writings about the parousia and how close it is, or why it hasn't happened yet, why is it a surprise that the wt/jw's get it wrong all the time ?.
if those early chrisitian writers could make totally false claims, and yet their words are supposed to be "inspired of god", why is it so wrong that the wt/jw's do the same ?.
cut 'em some slack fellers, the wt may be false prophets, over and over, but they are in good company..

It's all down to the meaning of "soon".
It's ok getting wrong but when they say "agree with us or die" that's when my bum squeeks.

Neither elders nor the bethel "child abuse" helpdesk have any idea on how to handle such matters. Elders do not receive any kind of professional training and at most, the helpdesk is experienced in just "listening" to reports of abuse.
This case is really quite simple. Enough people knew but did nothing to protect the local children. As a result, another child was abused. It's not hard to assume that this problem exists on a worldwide scale.
The argument is about "who in the know" should take some form of responsibility.
The WTBTS party line is that did not have a duty.
Funny that - in every other aspect of my life they believe they do have a duty to step in and show "care" where they deem appropriate.
- What I should wear.
- Who I should associate with.
- What I should eat.
- What music I listen to.
- Where I put my willy.
- Who I marry.
- What I think.
- What I say and how I say it.
And so on...
Contravene any of their "rules" in relation to the above and their level of care will be fully exercised especially in regard to their "duty" to deal with you.
Now they've been bitten on the bum they're running a mile.
I'd also like to point out that in my view it's fraud to post a sign above a collection box soliciting money to support the preaching work when in reality a large proportion of the money collected has been paid out in legal fees and compensation as a result of their ineffective Child Protection Policy.
