if any of the child molestation cases actually go to court, or if any of those witnesses that get disfellowshipped sue the society, what are the chances that some of the governing body members would get subpeoned to testify in court?
to me, this would be the best thing that could happen: these morons having to testify in open court and having to answer some pretty tough questions about their absurd policies and why these people have been disfellowshipped.. they'd look as stupid as freddie franz did when he was in court and said that jehovah was the editor of the watchtower since 1931..............i can see these bozos saying the same thing:.
q: who decided that nothing would be done to pedophiles in the congregations, if they are elders?.
That would be great! Having the GB testify... well I'don't know that it will ever happen,
By the way, I'm kinda new to this site: Does everybody agree to the same meaning for these
abbreviations:

Edited because I just E-mailed someone who told me what they mean! OMG>

what's the most outrageous thing that you were personally told ,while in the organization??
?
OK
Once I asked a ministerial servant:
"WHY DON'T WITNESSES CELBRATE THANKSGIVING?"
He said, "BECAUSE IT IS A NATIONALISTIC HOLIDAY"
I replied, "BUT WHEN THE PILGRIMS AND INDIANS CELEBRATED THE FIRST
THANKSGIVING, THE US WASN'T EVEN A COUNTRY."
Then he just stared at me speechless.

things that you definitely will not learn upfront: (and again, this is just a few...).
fight against independent thinking.
6-8-1986, page.9 would that all were prophets!.
Your idea is great!
Perhaps the first half of your points could fit in one page with average font size and single spacing.
A lot of people will be inclined to read it if it was like a one page flyer.
Of course at the bottom of the page, you could list the various web-sites for those who
want more information on the chronology and failed predictions, as well as SilentLambs.org
WatchtowerInformationService.org and Freeminds.org.
Quoting the Watchtower is an excellent way to help people see what they wouldn't be told right
away, especially the part of how the WTS looks down upon higher education and independent
thinking.
When you do get a final draft finished,
do you mind if I make copies?
Thanks, YoursChelbie

regarding law makers (members of parliment) in the uk taking steps to investigate uk branch of the wts silentlambs has stated:.
i encourage all to distribute this freely to local press here in usa.
this is newsworthy and could cause congress in this country to take a closer look at the home office of this database.
Thanks Frusr8d,
Together, all of us can bring attention to this problem and hopefully make a difference.

i have noticed for some time now, that when anyone mentions having hope in something said by the bible, some come forth and start asking pointed questions designed to denigrate that hope.
if one says they hope there is a god, someone else will come on ask how could that be because of all the ills in the world.
if it is said that one hopes the earth will be restored by god, another will come on and start asking what about lions being vegetarians, and eating birds and mosquitoes and such.
Hi DakodaRed,
I think you are a real gentleman and I sincerely HOPE that I will have the pleasure of meeting
you someday.

bill bowen just emailed this to me and i wasn't too sure if had been posted.
this is very significant.
if anyone has helen's email or the email of the minister she wrote too asking for the enquiry, please post them.. hawk.
That's an excellent letter! Be sure that if you are using snail-mail you include copies of all
the items that are part of the links. If you are E-mailing this letter, the links should work just fine.
Thanks for your help. Every single letter counts.
