Family Gathering ( or the day also known as Thanksgiving)

every year on a certain thursday in november my family and close witness friends would get together, eat menudo ( hispanic stew) and other foods, watch football and then get dressed to go to the meeting.. sister so and so would bring her famous pie, bro and sister so and so would bring their gross punch and bro and sis so and so would bring mexican sweet bread.

sometimes we would go to "worldy" aunt's and pick up plates of turkey and fixins.. this was every year on a certain date, on a certain thursday in november.. this continued until my mom got alzheimers.

by that time i was married and had my own house.

My thoughts are certainly with Candace Conti. I sure hope this puts an end to this legal battle you bravely took on.

I hope she knows no matter what the outcome is she has made a huge difference, because of her strength many others have come forward to expose this religion for what they are.

We may not be there physically in the courtroom, but we will be cheering her on in spirit!!

They need men to keep their org running. Free workers are more important to them then children, plain in simple.

The lawyer really used their own printed articles against them.

the exchange that started on page 46 of the deposition regarding the awake April 8, 1993 really made a great point.

Its speaking of statements made by victims and reporters regarding pedoophile priests withing the Catholic Church.

deposition page 47 quotes " the second abuse occurs victims of abuse, fails to take their abuse accusation seriously and moves onto protecting the offending priest.

Well it goes on...

toward the end the lawyer asks Ashe " if parents are not warned that there is a child molester with in their mist, that has the ability or maybe able to come I contact with their children, does that not perpetuate that kind of silence that the Jehovah Witness organization is warning against?"

after an objection

answer: Not in my view it doesn't.
