a saga.
back in november of 2011, i received a phone call from my ex, bill bowen.
he informed me that his dad had died of a massive heart attack.
I'm sorry for your pain. Isn't amazing how dubs can leave the cult then come back in full force and act like self righteous bitches - your words :) ? You would think they would be more understanding and some are but it seems like far more prop themselves up on a pedastal. It is very said and infuriating especially when it is family cutting ties.
I too hope your sister comes to her senses one day and you both are able to laugh about it all.

Excellent commentary!
i've been giving some thought to the recent development in which the judge has ruled that the society is barred from completing any property transactions until the appeal is over, which could take up to two years or even more.. i've submitted an article to randy at freeminds in which i basically argue that it is no longer in the society's interests to appeal this case.
if i correctly understand the restrictions placed on the society by the judge, then the governing body has far more to lose by appealing than they could conceivably gain.. think about it.... by appealing, they buy themselves time in which to formulate a long-term strategy for dealing with the fallout of this case, but will be barred from liquidating $1 billion in property assets at a time of global economic uncertainty when their donations are dwindling.
there is also no guarantee that their appeal will be upheld.by dropping their appeal, they take a hit and pay $23.8 million but retain the freedom to see through their real estate projects; retain their financial flexibility to respond to dwindling donations, and get to pretend to their followers (as with the un scandal) that it never happened.of course, i am only saying that dropping the appeal would be the only intelligent option for the society, assuming they are aware of how legally precarious their child abuse policies are.

sorry don't know how to post the links still . . .
But I found this articles about the pros and cons of appealing interesting. "Food For Thought" Gag! LOL
i have a friend that calls witness, jovies in a very deriding way.
"i saw the jovies in the street....haha".
personally, i don't think it's very nice or even mature.... but what do i know?.
I do but only for a laugh not to be hurtful. I'll make fun of my own mother for a laugh. Gotta have a sense of humor.
Actually, I am pretty respectful at least most of the time. I know who can handle the humor and who can't .

I emailed the court reporters at the courthouse this morning. I will try to get a copy of the trial transcripts.
now, we realize things are tough right now for you guys, but...you are telling the world how unfair the recent damages awarded against you are because he was not in a position of responsability "this is the first time that an organization was found responsible for the alleged misdeeds of a member who held no position of leadership or authority''.
11 the second question asks the candidate, first of all, if he understands that his baptism serves to identify him as one of jehovahs witnesses.
after undergoing immersion, he becomes an ordained minister who bears jehovahs name.
Excellent!!!
Anyone working on getting the court transcript?

Ha Ha you're right. This topic get my blood boiling especially because I was an abuse victim. I see your point. I guess if they are a registered sex offender then they cannot be held accountable for slander. But if the accuser is denying it and it has not been proven in a court of law then I do see the accused possibly suing for slander. I don't know the solution.
hmmmm I'm thinking . . .
