sexual abuse by a female member of a 14 year old in the congregation and elders being sued by the county --- now that co's are liable for the elders only - does that mean the elders will lose everything if fines are levelled against them, since the society has washed their hands and separated themselves by setting the co in place??
.
Thanks tim
I thought that since the CO was the decision maker re the choosing of an elder now based on congregation elders appointing new elders, that the society had removed themselves from the equation and left the CO out to hang if such cases were to occur.....setting the congregation elders up for loss of home, etc.
along with the congregation and the hall
Somewhat along Contis settlement since the congregations, the elders and the society was listed as defendants
i wasn't going to post until after my hearing.
but i have changed my mind due to a pm.
yesterday was a terrible day.
Umbertoecho:
When you are young are trained to respect the "older men" - never to question what they do - keep humble - brother this and brother that- low education - low self esteem -- then the field is ripe to be abused... that is not your fault!
Everything that has happened was not your fault - every day you will get stronger, you will stand tall, you can overcome... the despair will make way for some happiness, not always, but there are going to be times when you feel as if you have conquered those fears.
The distrust you feel will probably always be with you but that can be a protection as well... many things happen throughout our lives and we can learn and grow from that. Many wishes to you and your will to challenge those who have controlled and manipulated your life. You are now free from that grip and willing to so something about it. That takes guts!! All the best.

november 09, 2015. wilmington, delaware the attorney general's office is suing elders of the sussex county congregation for not reporting an unlawful sexual relationship between a woman and a 14-year-old boy, both of whom were congregation members.. state law requires any person, agency, organization or entity who knows or in good faith suspects that a child is being abused or neglected to call a 24-hour hotline.
Now back up --- the WTBTS is no longer on the book for this are they?? That is why the CO's are now over the elders and the congregations... so is this the case that the ELDERS will have to pay if fines are levelled against their action -- taking their homes, etc???
Anyone have insight into this?
Thanks

this question is for the ladies out there, but if you are a man and you'd like to share your thoughts on the following topic you are welcomed to do so.
given the wt society's view on women, did any of you ladies gave up on the idea of getting married "in the truth".
in such case, did you sometimes feel that you were missing out?
NON witness parents, that should be

Your non wine--tness parents would be allowed at your wedding,th e more witness they can give to a worldly person. wow! and here they are in the hall- they cant leave so have to sit through the ceremony - the jw you would marry could have association with those parents-- just attended a memorial for a young gal who was living with a guy, a non witness, yet her mom had studied, and the talk was given by an elder to a packed crowd of worldlies - about 200.... they received a sermon about 20 minutes in length....
so wherever you are living, some things have changed depending on the elders
and yes, I am single and loving it - keep busy otherwise
is this the now correct understanding?
does the borg now take over even the local kingdom halls?!
what the hell?!
Sorry to day but the halls in this area are almost overflowing most days.. a differenet picture than at least 8 months ago.. we were only getting about 50% and it looked dire but now, some thing is changing.. don't ask me what

.. re: review of circuit account balances.
Why is the link for download showing me it is locked??
there is no end to their madness.
the co gave a talk on inspired error.
i have never heard of it.
Does anyone know how many were disfellowshipped because of "Inspired Errors"... all the old reference books have been destroyed except what you can obtain from the internet... all the halls have gotten rid of the old books -- even the cd's only go hack to recent times... So now, does the society even think of the lives destroyed over their inspired errors and false teachings??
just a little disclaimer: english isn't my first language (i'm from france) thus the poor writing skills.here is the situation: i'm not a jw.
however, i'm in the process of becoming one.
in fact, i'm studying with the jw's, and i'll proceed to become an unbaptized publisher as soon as i finish the first book.to make a long story short i was introduced to the truth when i was 18een.

If you feel guilty because the sister "caught" you with her brother, think how you would feel if someone gave you a hug... you don't want to feel guilty because of an innocent act.... actually, it has been said from the WT that even married persons should not hold hands in the hall, nor should one hug the person of the opposite sex, even though many nationalities have expressions of greetings such as this....
Just a thought - don't feel guilty..
