of course everyone knows about the news of the candace conti child abuse case which has gone viral , ( one would have to live in a cave, under a rock, or another planet not to know about it ).
that being said - it may very well be that those jehovah's witnesses who do not use the internet, or read newspapers, or in simple english are neanderthal's, still living in the 19th century or before , out of fear of negative reprisal from wt authorities may have not even heard about this case because they are in the habit of not watching the news or using the internet.. so- with those particular type of people in mind my son flipper jr. & myself decided to print up about 20 copies of the candace conti child abuse lawsuit from the england daily mail issue , here's the link : http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2160605/candance-conti-molested-jehovahs-witnesses-member-age-nine-wins-28milion.html?ito=feeds-newsxml .. so what we did is since we are doing some out of town jobs in several counties we figured we'd leave these child abuse news releases under jw car windshields at kingdom halls while they are out in field service.
we left about 15 so far at 3 different kingdom halls under car windshields .

i just checked twitter and the story is picking up tremendously there.. many people only get their news from twitter now.. i encourage you to use twitter, you can do this anonymously.. rt (return the stories) get familiar with twitter if you are not already.. it's a wonderful format for spreading the news.. many activist will see this and spread the story that have many followers.... the time to do this is now, before the story gets too old.

Why hasn't CNN picked up on this? http://www.cnn.com/feedback/tips/ I emailed them, who knows if anything will happen. I toured CNN headquarters in Atlanta. That is a huge operation. Unless they get a whole lot of feedback from viewers requesting this story be covered, nothing will happen. You should see all of the desks and levels of people that a news tip has to go through and be vetted before it is kicked up to a senior story producer for possible airing.
As to hearing about anything in field service, I agree with Blondie, As a regular pioneer during some of that time, I rarely heard anything about the Dateline program. MSNBC has the story but was it aired or just online?

Why has CNN not picked up this story? I sent them an email via this link: http://www.cnn.com/feedback/tips/
This needs better coverage than MSnbc and Dawkins Foundation.

members of the governing body.
members of the legal department.
no doubt many of you are truly, to borrow the term of r.v.
Wouldn't that be nice if someone would from Legal or the GB would do it? However, look what happened to Ray Franz and Barbara Anderson when they stood up for what was right? The Ex-Witness community noticed but were demonized by the JW as apostates. I cannot tell you how many times growing up, then as a young adult, then as an elder, what a horrible person Ray was. I think that I had left the Borg before hearing anything about Barb from fellow Witnesses.
So even if that scenario played out, it would be ignored by people like my JW mom.

hi guys and gals,.
as it's been a good 3 years since i visited a kingdom hall, i was wondering if the keeping of hours still applies?
therefore, does anyone have a pdf of the report slip?.
jane doe vs the watch tower in the oakland, ca case was awarded $20 million in punitive damages..
Good. I hope this is the beginning of the end for Watchtower et al. I wonder if my JW mother will get wind of this and/or will ever change her mind about the Organization.
As a former JW elder, I am glad that I was never faced with having a pedophile (to my knowledge) in any congregation where I was assigned. That said, there should be a lot of current, and maybe former, elders who will $hit their pants if individual elders are assigned even a dime of the judgment against them personally.
A good day for the ex-JW community, and even better day for the victims of the pedophiles. Let it rain down on the Watchtower leaders' collective heads. BASTARDS. I HOPE THE GOVERNING BODY ROTS IN HELL.

hello friends!
i apologize for bothering you during your new years recovery, but i again need your votes to carry my jw based novel "happiness: how to find it!
" forward in curiosity quills nano-virtuosos competition.
DH....
I followed the link from FB and ... knowing how twisted you can be ... I really want to read the rest. Unfortunately your polling is running behind - I hope the specialized (JW) nature of this novel doesn't kill it.
Let's bump this one. Final round voting started yesterday (Monday, Jan. 16, 2012). Round three voting link here.
Good luck Anthony.

wellington's blanket man, ben hana, died suddenly yesterday, his final act in public being to wave to passers-by from the footpath outside wellington hospital.
ben was the black sheep of a strick jehovah's witness mother.. may he rest in peace.
wellington's blanket man 'lived life his way'.
WEIRD about the mother being a witness. As to Blanket Man ... Mental illness is a sad sad thing.
