question re: conti case appeal/ legal question
by drewcoul in
1. watchtower
2. child-abuse
this may have been answered before, but i would like to know if the appeal basically re-tries the case or if the wt has to argue that the original trial wasn't conducted properly.

.

in other words, is an appeal in a civil trial like this basically starting from scratch, or is it a trial concerning alleged errors in the first trial.. (i'm on heavy duty medication and having a little trouble articulating my question.

With the "New Light" concerning the GB, How would JW's respond to this question?

i wonder if the wt or jw's in general would consider paul to be a member of the "faithful and discreet slave.

he wrote a good deal of the christian greek scriptures.

surely he would be considered one who was "dispensing food at the proper time" would he not?.

i have heard that there has been some changes as to what the witnesses teach regarding the resurrection of annointed to spirit life.. what is the current teaching?

i was also taught that this resurrection began in 1918. .
