Should the Watchtower allow DNA evidence in judicial meetings. I think so, it is used in rape court cases. What do you think?
Just wondering

i saw the special on dateline, and read a few things on newspapers and online links.
i have a question though and wonder if someone could answer it for me, as this was asked to me by someone "outside of the organization" and i did not know.. .

Sorry if the above post made me sound like a ass, but that pissed me off being told I could not ask a question. I thought that was rude. I would never tell someone to not ask questions. That is so Witness-like.
My apologies

You should never assume!!! I see that there are rules to this board with you though, do not ask hard questions? I guess my question was to hard, and made to much sense. I wanted to know what connects point A to B and no one answered. I am sorry that was such a hard question and it causes you to give negative responses when it should have been such a simple answer. You have no idea what my objective was or is, and you assumed it was negative when it would have been something very positive.
Remember this ....
Assume = Is you making a ass out of you, while you try to make a ass out of me.
I have supported this cause for a long time, and thought it was a wonderful purpose to the world, not just the world of JW's. Thanks for enlightening me to my error, because I am just some ignorant person who knows nothing. (Keep telling yourself that, and maybe it will come true)

PS : I just thought you might like to know I know several abuse victims, but I do not wear that friendship like some badge that gives me special rights.

Thanks for hating my post I still have a question, what laws are you targeting to change these problems. Have you thought about checking into regions to see what laws need to be addressed, and put together organized groups to support this through subpoenas and regulations. After all, as long as religions have freedom to run amuck and do what ever pleases them, it will take a lot to change them.
You respond to harsh to people asking questions, I believe in what your doing and do not see why you would speak so harsh to me. In addtion, I saw in another post you said "it is about the children" and I have to ask, "is there ever to many support groups for abuse victims?"

Should it be about one specific religion though, or only about the victims? I am sorry I keep pushing this, but I have no vendetta against the Watchtower. They are no longer part of my life, and I stay away from them. Again I ask though, what exact changes do you want done ... details. I ask, as I would not march into any battle without a exact goal in mind. It might come to a point where you sit down with the Watchtower and they say, "okay, what do you want to shut up" and you need a well thought out answer and plan.
I don't think the motive should ever be about the religion's freedom to practice, it should be about making them obey the laws of the land they're end. Is that the purpose? If so, what laws exactly needs to be enforced or changed. Changing laws have a procedure and I have participated in it many times. Writing letters to Congressmen, signing and starting petitions, voting and marches on City Hall and other government buildings. Law is the set standard of the land, sometimes those have to be the focus to help children and other victims.

to everyone who is going to ny for the march.... this idea just came thru the silentlambs_march yahoo group .
.. get a big group to go to the david letterman show friday wearing the silentlambs teeshirts.
deliver a lamb to david letterman.. here's the info of how to get tickets to the show:.
When I went and saw David Letterman I had to order tickets 90 days in advance. When my friend went this year, he had to order his 6 months ahead of time. Not to be a bummer, but David is a hot ticket. Good luck, I hope it works out and you get tickets. Just do not get stuck in the upper deck. :(

Personally, and this differs a bit from yours. I say they change procedures that reflect the law, meaning do what is legally required. Everything else is religious freedom, and I would hope we never take that away. If they want to disfellowship, fine. It sucks!!! They do have the right though by law. Just do not harm children, or people ... that applies to all religions, not just JW's. So back to my point, is silentlambs looking to get them in line with the law ... or in line with what they want? I have learned in life when I get something perfect for me, 1000 other people see something they want done different. That is why their are laws, to set societies standards.

Does the society need to be destroyed or just corrected on procedures, so that they do not harm people?
