31Jw kids setting off fire alarms in hotels
by purrpurr ina friend of mine is staying at a hotel next to one of the big convention sites this weekend.
yesterday she tells me one of the hotels had to be evacuated and the fire brigade called when the fire alarm went off.. it turned out to be a bunch of jw kids having a prank.
she had been speaking to the hotel manager who told her that this happens every year and only when the jw's come to stay!.

by defender of truth inwith all the talk about the org's policies and failures regarding child sexual abuse being publically exposed in australia, i thought that it may be a good time to highlight this... i apologise if this has already been discussed, but on the 9th of july the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse in england and wales was opened.
here is some information regarding it's aims.. "about the inquiry.
the inquiry offers an unprecedented opportunity to examine the extent to which institutions and organisations in england and wales have taken seriously their responsibility to protect children.. the inquiry will investigate a wide range of institutions including:.

Can disassociated ones get reinstated without proving repentance?
by maksutov inone of the jw high-ups questioned by the australian royal commission (i think it was o'brien) stated that those who had disassociated (as opposed to being disfellowshipped) do not have to undergo a lengthy reinstatement procedure of proving repentance over many months, but can simply ask to be reinstated immediately.
is this true?
has anyone heard of this ever happening?.

Village Idiot - at least a few people on this forum who have met him got a very good impression of him.
I doubt he would have lasted this long either; however, we really don't know anything for sure.
It's just another perspective. Either way; it will be interesting to see how this plays out.

I wonder if it's better that it's him. If he's sincere, loving and humane in his actions, I would think he couldn't help but be honest in the way he takes the stand. Maybe this would wake him and countless others, because of his sincere nature and the fact that the RC won't let them get away with anything.
Whereas, anyone else would tow the line.
The more I think about it, the more I'm glad it's him...
