  a woman is suing a local congregation ("kingdom hall of jehovah’s witnesses, roy, utah, an unincorporated association"), individual elders and watchtower ny after, she claims, a judicial committee forced her to listen an audio recording of her own rape.

  the trial court summarized the facts as alleged by the plaintiff as follows:.

  at the time of the judicial committee, plaintiff was fifteen years old.

  Gotta worry about Government getting its hands into religious debates.

  DOC are you serious? This goes way, way further than “religious debates”. I would go as far as to say those elders participated in CRIMINAL behavior.

  Also do cults carry out mind control? If yes, why do people leave? Shows the issue isn't mind control. But it could be mind manipulation. Then you get back to the issue of is this a secular or a theological problem?

  Anna Marina I think another poster had the right idea when he said that elders are human resource managers and watchtower is a corporation (which of course it is). We need to treat it like he multi level marketing fraud it is....if there was a way of dealing with watchtower the corporation, watchtower the “religion” would soon disappear within a generation. Without the cash the management would no longer have the power (Jwbroadcast, the books, magazines and lawyers to steal their Kingdom Halls)to effect cruelty on JWs.

  Anthony Morris wants former Jehovah's Witnesses DEAD

  by neat blue dog in

  in a disgusting new video, anthony morris iii talks about apostates, and brings to mind his 'hot dog' talk all over again as he anticipates the demise of ex-jehovah's witnesses.

  i don't know if you're familiar with maggots, but when you see a whole bunch of them it's not a pleasant sight.. .

  what a fitting picture of the final end of all of god's enemies.

  the zoog fire is burning just outside of redding ca., 0% containment, 3 dead.

  sounded like ww2 with air tanker traffic going over the house yesterday.

  quite amazing the size of aircraft used; large jets, military air lift transport plus the prop jobs of cal fire.

  Does that mean the fire has been put out? Hope so. It’s very interesting hearing it from the horses mouth, so to speak. How do these fires start, by the way? Is it because temperatures are rising? Are they accidental?

  PS I think the pandemic may have the witnesses running back { metaphorically!} to the Kingdom Hall, but when it dies down and the press gets hold of the child abuse scandal in the states things may change and witnesses may start listening.

  Best Reddit post ever! Very shrewd observation. You’d think them absolutely psychotic...god speaks only to him and he has a dreadful persecution complex. Classic schizophrenia.

  This one really irritates me. They changed Ephesians 4:8 from “Gifts to men” or “gifts unto men” into “gifts in men”

  A way to give more power and awe around COs and elders.

  Wow Doug that is absolutely fascinating , thank you. Like all ex witnesses I am rather obsessed with the origins of the book of Daniel. I’m going to order that book on kindle or Audible. Sounds fantastic.

  Do you subscribe to the You Tube channel “Digital Hammurabi”? If not they are well worth a listen to. A married couple of academics with expertise in ancient near eastern languages. They have several videos/podcasts specifically on the book of Daniel, Doug.

  3rdGen It's obvious to me that the lawyers want to remove as much liability as possible for the Borg. If nobody is a member how can the borg be sued for what an individual chooses to do (or not do) on his own? This is yet another way to distance themselves from having to pay settlements.

  I agree. In another thread I said I think the confusion over the following - Governing Body’s 2009 statement that as The Slave they are appointed over\responsible for Jesus’ “valuable things” In the form of Kingdom Halls, Assembly Halls and Warwick etc

  Yet at the same time not appointed Over/responsible for ‘the domestics’ until Jesus Antony Morris drama Queen return in the form of Armageddon - is just the Watchtower lawyers talking

  a month ago it might have been questionable.

  not now.

  after bader’s death and biden’s inability, this shouldn’t be close.

  Silent Buddha He has a looking history of making ridiculously racist stereotypes and then doubling down on them as well as introducing a crime bill that he knew would disproportionately impact minorities.

  oh god yes Biden is embarrassing when it comes to race. Something I’ve never heard Trump do.

  Yawn."Trump said", wah! wah!

  Have you noticed no one cares apart from you sad bunch that pretend you care because you think it's damaging?

  Oh come on Simon, if someone on the left made the statement about grabbing a woman’s punaani you’d be disgusted with them. Listen I actually think he’s kinda funny most of the time and god knows he’s eternally optimistic 🤣I don’t have any real interest in American politics since, quite frankly, I don’t understand it. But I really do think NO other politician would get away with saying what he does. In particular that comment.

  I mean we humans judge someone on what they say, that’s just the way of the world. What do you expect?!
