  just wondering?

  he denied being in subjection to the the watchtower corporation so are they still using him in their regular monthly broadcast.

  'Conti' Court decision secures Watchtower's Policy of confidentiality

  by telemetry11 in

  1. watchtower

  the court on the rule of confidentiality of penitential communications and evidentiary privilege--.. decision reads:.

  "the law generally protects the confidentiality of communications with clergy like those of kendrick to the elders here.".

  "if the person has a constitutional right to independence in making religious choices, the recognition of an evidentiary privilege is an apt means of protecting that autonomy.

  Let's not forget what Stephen Lett GB member claims.."think about the apostate-driven lies and dishonesties that Jehovah’s organization is permissive toward pedophiles. I mean, that is ridiculous, isn’t it! If anybody takes action against someone who would threaten our young ones, and takes action to protect our young ones, it is Jehovah’s organization. We reject outright such lies.”

  Such BS!

  The incredibly white NAACP leader

  this is a bizarre story.. there is a woman who is the local leader of the naacp who is obviously trying to mislead people into believing she is black who is actually white.

  very white.. she obviously gets a tan regularly but looks more orange.

  yes, orange really is the new black!.

  Who cares!! I mean seriously if no one has been harmed by this, what's the big deal??

  We all have been part of a religion that dictated the way we should dress, behave, judge, shun, love and hate. I for one am thankful for the freedom to just let people be who they choose to be as long as they aren't hurting anyone.

  Would you warn your neighbors if a child molester lived on your street?

  by Stealth in

  just found out that someone who lives 4 doors down was convicted of molesting a 4 year old child twice.

  the second time was after he was arrested and released on bond from the first arrest.

  having two 4 year old children living in my home, i am concerned.

  Absolutely. Hand out a flyer asking neighbors to check Megan's law or the sex offender list for your neighborhood. They will get the point and watch their children carefully.

  By the way, how would this effect the Lopez judgement?

  In this case the WTS was thrown out of court for refusing to turn over the list of known molesters after two separate courts ordered them to do so.

  I'm sure Zelkin will know how to defend this judgement. But again....it's a marathon.

  This is just the first step and it's actually not over yet. The Supreme Court could take this case.

  Time will tell...it's a marathon not a race :)

  Being shunned only increases my certainty that the WBT$ is a cult

  by punkofnice in

  well, i don't wanna rant too much but sometimes things cut you don't they.. a family member had a get together for the family, jw and non jw and of course i wasn't invited being da'd.. i understand why they couldn't invite me but it just made me think.

  in normal society this wouldn't happen.

  i'd have been there.. the shunning is so unnatural and damaging.

  Even though we expect it and know why they are doing it...it still sucks!! I'm sorry Punk.

  It's truly unjust! They hold their love on a string like a yo yo...give you a bit of it and then pull it up again.

  so today i was asked my thoughts on the pool party incident in mcminney, texas.

  my response: it shows a clash of expectations.

  i saw police officers who expected citizens to listen to and follow instructions.

  Like others have said before. Where would these kids go? They most likely were dropped off by parents their bags with clothes and phones were most likely in the pool area. You can hear the kid saying he can't find his bag.

  Regardless...while a few of you are defending his actions...he is apologizing and admitting he was not in the right mindset after responding to two suicide calls before that one. He knows he was wrong, we know he was wrong. But go on and keep going...

  It's the full video with sound that I was trying to post.

  My mistake that the article might come off to some as me racebaiting. It's not at all what I'm trying to do. The video just shows what happened in real time, the kids were listening and walking away confused as to what was going on, some just trying to find their belongings, very politely I might add. It's sad that young kids have to exposed to such treatment so young.
