What should he do?
Start his own private investigation, go visit the hookers himself, and gather non-compromising evidence.

How many people in prison are JW's?
by Gadget ini've been reading the topic about how garrido met his wife while in prison, and the discussion about how prison inmates are preached to by jw's.. has anyone done any research into how many people claiming to be jw's there are in prison?
in the uk it should be quite easy to find out because of the freedom of information act.
it could even be broken down to how many are in dispersal prisons (and so for much more serious offences), and how many are covered by rule 43 (segregated for their own protection), and how this measures as a total of the prison population.. the last time i looked it up, there was 1 jw to approx 300 people in the uk.

Of course, back in my day (when we were of draft age), it must have been much higher. There used to be a small but sizeable population in most prisons (Feds) and the JWs were usually kept isolated (as much as possible) and were valued as trustees. Which made them all the more hated by the general population.
Of course, I hardly knew a one that did not come out completely messed up psychologically. Many later left the JWs, others got into trouble, died young, and so on.
I am sure it did not help to see the WTS change their own rules and make these young men's sacrifice completely meaningless.

Tragic situation for all.
Cynical, but maybe they think they will get more public donations by this relatively benign camoflage-account, and then can later give it to the Society.
Such misdirection is not at all uncommon in "charity solicitations".
BTW, if ANYBODY believes that JWs actually "hunt for purpose of gathering food - rather than SPORT", then they should buy some lottery tickets on the sale of the Brooklyn Bridge or the Eifel Tower.
EDIT - and if anybody (JW elders) around this tragedy gets up on the platform and uses this to denounce hunting - let them receive exactly what they deserve for being insensitive morons.

isaac, I've asked angel that question several times now and have been consistently ignored.
Here's another question I don't expect a response to: When someone is wrongly disfellowshipped--and their appeal is denied--where is Jehvoah's spirit? Imperfect men aside, is Jehovah incapable of protecting his loyal servants by keeping them in his congregation? In what way is his spirit directing these men?
Another point might be - why do they need to have a majority VOTE on the Governing Body to settle doctrinal matters...if the spirit was doing it, wouldn't it just be unanimous?

33 And a wind passed over the earth, and the waters were still and the ark rested.
Note that in this version of the fable, wind makes the waters stand still. This was of course changed after the rainbow (or was that after Shakespear wrote "The Tempest"?)

COCKY WEST : 'I SHOULD BE IN THE BIBLE'
Cocky rap star KANYE WEST is calling for a revised edition of THE BIBLE, because he thinks he should be a character in it.
The JESUS WALKS hitmaker, who picked up three Grammy Awards last night (08FEB06), feels sure he'd be "a griot" ( West African storyteller) in a modern Bible.
He says, "I bring up historical subjects in a way that makes kids want to learn about them. I'm an inspirational speaker.
"I changed the sound of music more than one time... For all those reasons, I'd be a part of the Bible. I'm definitely in the history books already."________________

Was he rocking it back and forthe like a Coke machine to get back his last 3 quarters?
Silly man - should have known that these on-demand miracles are about as reliable as a Yugoslavian economy car.
