in view of the statements below by the wtbts hierarchy, how on earth can u.s. supreme court judges possibly be conned into accepting jw lawyers' claim/defence of clergy-penitent privilege in the $35m lawsuit?.
if you don't have a clergy, how can you have clergy-penitent privilege?
has no one in the u.s.a. pointed out to the judiciary that they're being duped?.
ZebThey tried to pull the clergy thing at the CARC and got themselves rapped for it. The justice said (along this line) 'you deny clergy exist in your organization now you are claiming it. You cant have it both ways.'
Yup. If there's one other lawyer in the world that can follow a class act like Angus, Irwin Zalkin is the man. They're not pulling the wool over his eyes anytime soon!!
Thank you so much Zing
TLDR: it's a brief interview with one of the Montana case jurors who found Watchtower guilty of negligence and malice, in covering up child abuse.
Further there's a brief round up of part 1 of the recent Hearst TV 3-part series " Silent No More", where 12 victims are interviewed. Part 2 will go into the New York statute of limitations year-long moratorium and what that means for many victims.
is this a bad joke or "fake news"?.
nbc new york is claiming "attorneys are expected on monday to announce the filing of lawsuits in king's county supreme court against eight members of the governing body of the jehovah's witnesses for alleged child sexual abuse claims.".
eventhough i would enjoy to see this happen i am very suspiciouse concerning nbcs reliability with this case.. https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/happening-today-nj-water-cosby-appeal-epstein-probe-536740491.html.
Here's another link to an article concerning Irwen Zalkins team. It also includes an interview with a PiMO, interestingly, as the PiMO is demonstrating the fear witnesses have about leaving the org and loosing their famillies. This piece doesn't pull any punches and the title accuses the Org of being " Cultish"!!!!
i admit to not being very well informed about the watchtower's view on blood transfusions.
i have a couple of questions that i hope someone here is able to answer.. i understand that the watchtower now considers it to be okay to receive blood fractions.. my first question is: are all fractions considered to be permissible?
and if not, specifically which fractions are not permissible?.
Also, most white blood cells are found in organ tissue, not in the blood itself. Each organ transplant, permitted by the society since 1980, necessitates the transfer of millions of white blood cells.
I believe witnesses will have bone marrow transplants(?) If so they are taking the very thing that produces those white cells and red cells!

Transfusions of whole blood are relatively rare these days. Current practice is to give you the component you need.
Not where I work. Theatres we use whole blood all the time in major surgery.
what would it be?.

Mine would be either Lonely boy ( girl)
Or " Please Don't let me be misunderstood"
mark o'donnell ( john redwood) has outdone himself in this excellent piece on watchtower's appeal to the supreme court regarding their definition of clergy-penitent rights.. the case they are appealing revolves around gilbert simental, a known abuser who, although eventually removed as an elder, was allowed to remain in a position of respect, with the parents of his victims kept in the dark about the risk he posed to the children with whose care he was entrusted.
.
anyway it's an excellent piece and well worth reading.. https://jwsurvey.org/news/jehovahs-witnesses-lose-california-child-abuse-case-appeal-to-u-s-supreme-court-part-one.
Thanks Blondie 👍👍👍
i had gotten a phone call from a brother who was really upset.
he said there was a resolution passed that everyone is in agreement to the selling of the elmira hall.
the strange thing is at the congregation picnic an elder told him that a few years ago the deed to the hall was signed over to the org.
Don't they notice that the day something bad happens they get a talk telling them to grass on each other if anyone says anything negative and not to read anything negative about the org.
They took their money for the car park filling knowing they were planning to sell the hall. That must have been planned by the branch office at least a year prior. I bet the CO knew. It's becoming a blatant con, they are confidence tricksters.
They ask for a show of hands fully knowing the motion will get passed. It's just to fool them into feeling they have a say when really they have none.
........so far to date.
you've been warned....https://youtu.be/jjjnt5l5ts0.
