hi a court in the uk in loughborough have fined the jws over £1 million pounds for the court costs for a child abuse case in loughborough in the east midlands..
The article reports -
Lord Justice Floyd said it was "fair just and reasonable" to order the church's governing body to pay compensation.
she turned one today, and 36 earlier this week.
we planned a big party, big for two people that have never thrown a party before.
we rented a church fellowship hall because 1. it was nice and big and affordable and 2. it was kind of awesome to throw a party in a place we would have never ventured in our previous life.
Dubstepped, thanks for sharing your wife's birthday with us. It sounded fantastic.
Unlike most people's first birthday, she gets to remember it😃.
the watchtower today says not to think of sex, or to have sexual fantasies.
i'm just wondering... how many people in the hall hearing this watchtower today would be having sexual fantasies?
sitting there thinking about sister hottie or brother hunky ?.
Well somebody could have told tight pants Tony before he started making sexual connections to Brothers wearing tight pants.
my son sent me a wonderful song a month ago on this thread.

it's amazing how a bad experience can trigger action.
You've been patiently waiting for this for a long time, congratulations.
my favorite were the ones where they were reading a wt publication in the break room at work, and an inquisitive co-worker, thirsty for spiritual knowledge approaches them.
this leads to an informal witness, which eventually leads to bible study and baptism.. in all my years of working, i've never had anyone show the slightest bit of interest in what i was reading while i was on my break at work.
but as i said, maybe it's just me..
One of the latest videos on JW TV is the Miconesia Branch Report. The experience related is another contrived fairytale.
There was a couple who decided they would contribute $20 US dollars per month to the org. This one month the couple's expenses were $80 more than what they took in but they were resolved to stick with their commitment and contributed their normal $20 to the org. Low and behold, BOTH of the won the employee of the month. Part of the prize included a monetary reward. Can you guess how much that was? You're absolutely right -$50 each.
Maybe it was the way I retold it, but it was more believable coming from the Branch Office Elder ;).

Fiddler, my guess is that he expected your typed transcript to be perfect and that he could use it just as it was. When he realised he would have to reword it and get it typed again he was frustrated and took it out on you. He was rude and bossy. You probably ended up saving yourself from being called upon by him again in the future, so the laugh is really on him.
I doubt a word for word transcript would have read well enough to be used for a 'press release' and would have needed some work to tidy it up anyway.
I used to practice my shorthand at the meetings, it was purely to get my speed up and not for transcribing. Another benefit was relieving the boredom.
revelation 6:6 kjv.
6 and i heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, a measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.. this prophecy starts to be true in south europe bethels..... according to our sources, bethel families have been asked to reduce their food allowance and even been informed that monthly contribution might not be paid.. meantime, one of these branches is sending millions of € every year as donation to other wt structures, not to mention the 7 digit number on their bank account.
bethel members are not blind ;).
They're rebelling against the organization SP74bb, it can't end well. Maybe the organization is just keeping them pacified for the time being so that it can send them their marching orders when the org. has made other arrangements and doesn't need them any more.
If the Spain Bethel family views this as a win then they may be in for bigger shocks.
last april, the pa attorney general’s office established a toll-free phone number for survivors of child sex abuse (who were pa residents, or were abused by someone in pa) to call if they wanted to file a report of being sexually abused or molested as a child under 18 no matter how long ago the abuse happened or no matter who committed the abuse.. .
the ag’s office is asking victims from all the places/institutions and all the alleged criminals that have literally gotten away with soul murder.
hopefully, the ag’s office will be able to take further steps to expose the criminals and the criminal institutions that aided and abetted the perps.. .
Awareness - While your specific abuse may have happened so long ago that there is no criminal or civil charges you can file, by your identifying perps and complicit institutions now, other victims may gain the courage to come forward once they realize they were not the only one abused by their perp.I don't understand how other victims would get to know that they were not the only one abused by a particular perp. simply by making a report to the PA's Attorney General's office. Particularly since the perp. will not be charged for anything.
it was rather quick one.
in just few months and after attending all of their meetings and giving them a nice show, i'm back to the org!!!
(what a relief-sarcastic laugh) .
Sound like you were very lucky Prom. Have your Elders been to the latest convention? They talk about 12 months in the shunning saga.
crowds celebrating bastille day in nice, france have been targeted by a terrorist driving a truck.. initial reports of 60 dead and 100 injured.. i am losing track of how many similar attacks there have been in europe in recently..
Zoos you're not the only one. When I read that the attack was from driving a truck through a crowd, I was speechless.
