this is a must-read that, hopefully, will stay an "active topic" for all seekers and lurkers, by bumping it to the top as often as possible.
alan wrote it in randys {dogpatch} thread regarding knocking.org documentary and in reply to the email mr. engardio sent to barbara anderson.
however, it is so vital a read that it indeed needs its own thread:.
Thank you Alan this is very interesting have saved a copy to my files.
Do to the fact that WBTS has for years engaged in "Child Endangerment" of the children in the congregations by not having a policy of alerting the parents of the fact that a person has been found to be a pedophile, so I have decided to end my posts and tweets with:
Knock Knock Who's There?
simons critcal fact = defendants assigned candace to perform field service with kendrick.
martinez testified that she saw candace and kendrick in field service together.
was candace ever assigned to anyone else?
CRITICAL FACT:
Local JW and his family attend kingdumb Hall while he has abused 4 relatives starting at age 4 through 12 and when last family member found out years later it was too late for statues of limitations had run out. He was reported to police and elders where contacted and they worked out a deal with local police, who by the way did call the first victim from prior years to confirm it had happened before. YES the elders knew now it had happened before, ( I think that would be the 2nd eye witness) but the MEN all took it upon themselves to settle this matter quietly. You know Keep Jehovah's name out of the sh#t,
So what happened? He sent apology letter to first victim (she would not meet with him) he apologized to family of the last victim (6 yr old relative) agreed to attending counseling with local mental health agency and the elders I am sure convinced police they would make sure this didn't happen again. Police already overburdened were happy not to press charges as no one apparently wanted to, you know keep sweep it under the rug and it will go away.
So these four young girls got to be silenced by Men who control families within this religion, and they have privately had to deal with their abuse and I am not sure always in a healthy manner.
His Wife also knew about the abuse and stayed with him & later had a child (girl). Just makes my blood boil to realize years ago I sat in the same Kingdumb Hall with him and his wife. Never remembered anything about him being publicly reprimanded to the congregation. I am sure that the congregations (2) that he has attended since then know nothing about a man that attacks his young female relatives. Can't help but wonder how his daughter fared all these years and if she or her young friends from the hall where his victims as well.
I hope to run into one of the elders that would have been in charge of this during that time, when as far as I am concerned they as well as WBTS practiced "Child Endangerment" with the unknowing congregations children.
Just had to get this off my chest but so the troll will know what CRITICAL really means. This is just one story out of thousands that will only see the light of day on websites that we have the freedom to make it known.
Peace & Love,
My hope is that 2015 will be the year of healing for those who have been sexually/mentally abused and accountability for the Watchtower.
i can understand maybe wearing one of these out in fs, or at ca's & dc/ic, while out and about, but to the kh, come on who the heck are they trying to impress??
it looks so stupid for half the congregation to be wearing these things at most of the meeting.
oh and now when the circuit serpent, sorry servant, comes around it's even worse!!!
Yet a JW will frown on someone wearing a cross, so what's the difference!
Can't wait to run across someone wearing one that I know ad I plan to ask them what is the difference, you know just asking.
so most would now know of the vile act in sydney last week where a man held hostage over 17 people in the lindt cafe in the middle of sydney.. two people were murdered...a beautiful, educated lawyer,loving mother of three, and a brave, loving young man working as the cafe manager.. this senseless and cruel act has touched everyone deeply, especially in the communities of sydney.
the outpouring of grief and support for the victims and their families has been immense.. i was therefore outraged to have the following comment made by a witness in conversation at the kingdom hall:.
"well, we dont need to be sad, because at least now they (the two victims) will get a ressurection.
I can remember in 2004 when I told my best friend (JW) that my Mom had terminal cancer she said at least she will have the resurrection, to which I was in total shock, what the f*@K did that have to do with losing my Mom. This was the beginning of my leaving this Death Wish Religion. Still today they are still hoping the Big A will take care of all THEIR problems, nothing to do with mankind, its really about themselves.

see last item:.
"media request to record/broadcast oral argument; from abc news new york".
brealfast of champions
My thoughts exactly !!
filed letter from:.
rick simons, to notify the court of significant new authority not available at the time of the conclusion of briefing, and also to withdraw a previously submitted subsequent authority.. 11/20/2014.
calendar notice sent.
My guess the Appellant (Watchtower) has other sexual abuse cases in other cities for their attorneys to attend to, quite possibly trying to explain why no one in authority from the Watchtower can possible appear so they get a continuance. It is amazing that the mouthpieces for Jehovah God are so afraid to go before the superior authorities.
does a female kingdom publisher need to wear a head covering if she conducts a bible study in the presence of a male publisher?.
in a questions from readers item published in the watchtower of july 15, 2002, it was stated that a sister should cover her head if she conducts a bible study in the presence of a male publisher, whether he is baptized or not.
further consideration of the matter suggests that a modification to this direction is appropriate.. if the male publisher who accompanies the sister while she conducts an established bible study is baptized, the sister would certainly want to wear a head covering.
Boy does this bring back memories..many years ago Pioneer sister was sitting in on bible study I was having with a lady and she mentioned her husband would be dropping their son (12 yrs. Old) and that when he came we should put on head covering. I started to laugh and said are you kidding to which she explained doctrine that must have missed for so many years. So here comes her young son and she put her head covering on...I am sure her husband did a check on this as he as master of their house..I did not follow her example..what a joke.
the trouble with women is that they have a breaking point.
it comes when their needs are not being met or they are not respected.
and, that is a beauty too.
I wonder how the wife of an elder I know is going to like no tight gym outfits. She is all into tight cute gym clothes and even goes shopping in them. I had to admit the first time I saw her in Safeway I had to chuckle as she didn't fit the image of an elders wife let alone a dub. I am sure she will do just as she wants.
above is a quote from the close to jehovah book.. well, after last nights branch visit we can now add colorful socks, tight dress pants for men, yoga pants (he got the word very wrong), not being an ms by age 23, not working 8-5 fully at bethel etc.... that was just from two talks last night alone!
