jehovah's loses comp case
church may be forced to pay millions
by jess wisloski.
The line in the sand will likely be drawn on whether the bethel workers are members of a religious order. They seem to be stretching the definition to ridiculous lengths. Perhaps my company could swear me to servitude and avoid premiums.
If even 50% of past/ present Bethelites are determined as those who qualify to have worker's comp insurance because of their manual labor then this is going to cost the WTS more than they ever dreamed.

PS. (Just be sure she's not a jw, thanks.)
i sent it out nov 14. my bday.
thought that i would finally share it with you guys.
in the end, that story is just not that important now.
she got into it with my husband over the phone, accusing him of controlling me and taking me away from Jehovah
I can totally identify. When I was becoming vocal about the way things were not being done according the Bible and became inactive in the WT activities, I was also told that I was being influenced by some of my non-JW relatives!
No one could accept that I decided on my own to investigate the real truth about the Watchtower.

People want to know what happened, why I ended up where I am. I said this to mom and I will say it again… What happened is, I read the Bible
This introduction is powerful.
I 'd like to copy some of the fine points you made and use them to try to get thru to some people if that is ok.

I, for my part, cannot in good conscience continue my association with a religious organization that continues to put it’s members in harms way, and demands exclusive devotion, such that belongs to God himself.Your letter is excellent. It is intelligent and brave all at once. The illustration about being led astray in the WTC is by far one of the best I have ever read. Your eloquence is admirable. Congratulations for doing the right thing. YC
i'm so happy to have found this site.
i'm not a j/w, but my son is.
several years ago, he became involved with a j/w, although she was being shunned at the time.
