Oh my that's massive.

Wouldn't be surprised if it comes out that the WT has paid ZERO to victims so far.

Really hope the ARC releases numbers on them next month.

How can elders find someone.. And how long would it take?

by Randy notmarsh in

jw
friends

let's throw a hypothetical.

let's say that a body of elders is looking for someone in a different congregation, but don't know what kh he attends, how do they go on about it?

how long do you guys think it'll take?

LostGeneration

Way too many variables. How far away is it, to start?

Any local city the elders just lob a few phone calls to the elders they know and sniff around. Generally its an hours work at most in that situation.

Give up would all depend if the elder is a hardass or lazy.

That so called "father" is going to be on the stand, facing a skilled attorney. He's gonna look like the worst father ever if this plays out as described above.

Glad the parents notified the police.

Hopefully the elders didn't give them a hassle for doing so

So, the Womens March ... What Is It For?

by Simon in

it seems like mobilizing after the election, which seems pointless.

i keep hearing demands for equal rights but don't understand what rights they are missing exactly.. normally a march is to show the support (and potential votes) for a cause, but ... votes for what?

... and the election happened already.. is anyone else confused?

LostGeneration

He has offended ALL women , Let alone anyone that cant pass.

Broad generalizations don't play. YOU may have been offended, but millions of others obviously weren't, they voted for him!

2.16.2017 NJ Star-Ledger Ad: "Were you sexually abused by the Jehovahs Witnesses?"

by breakfast of champions in

my wife found this 1/4 page ad on page 2 of yesterday's nj star-ledger, probably the biggest newspaper in nj.

pretty telling.. .

Here's the thing Ritchie...it really doesn't matter if the victims win or not, if this firm and their allies go full target on the JWs.

Sure, I'd like them to win, mainly for the victims sake, and secondly to force WT to REPORT to the police immediately from now on so potentially THOUSANDS of innocent children aren't hurt in the future.

But even if they don't, this is ALL OUT WAR on the Watchtower, and their name is going to be drug through the mud for the next several years.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

I was thinking the same thing Crazyguy...

Total speculation but I wonder if attorneys who work with Irwin Zalkin have info on the "pedo list". If that thing comes out then we are going to see thousands of accused names splashed across the internet. That could prompt many to finally come forward.

Winnesses of ME (Jesus)...Acts 1:8...NOT Winnesses of Jehovah

by NikL in

so jesus said in acts 1:8 .... you will receive power when the holy spirit comes upon you,+ and you will be witnesses+ of me in jerusalem,+ in all ju·deʹa and sa·marʹi·a,+ and to the most distant part* of the earth.. .

witnesses of jesus and not jehovah.

so i was a witness for years.

Check some of Searchers threads if you really want your mind blown. Literally dozens of scriptures that all apply to Jesus, while all along you thought they were about the other big J
