i work in a business that sometimes has teenagers purchasing or renting items from us.
when they do so, we have to have a parent or legal guardian make the arrangements or sign any binding agreements.
if we didn't, nothing would be worth the paper it was written on, as people under 18 can not enter into a legal arrangement on their own.. .
It would only work (imo) if the action was taken by someone who was still under the age of majoirty. Otherwise your tacit agreement (association and cooperation with the Borg) after turning the legal age for your jurisdiction would indicate your willingness to continue your association with the Org despite not necessarily being able to enter into a contract while a minor.
Just my 2 cents

i need to know where abouts in the jw books does it say that you must obey your elders, and that if you don't listen, you can be disfellowshipped.
at the trial on friday, the head of bethel said that no one in the organization could be disfellowshipped for not following elders commands.
i know its written somewhere, and i have only today and tomorrow to find it.

You have mail. Please call me anytime after 1:00 Sunday.

september 1, 2002 www.torontosun.com reporter's email: [email protected] woman sues churchclaims jehovah's witnesses hid sex abuse.
by brodie fenlon -- toronto sun.
a new brunswick woman claims two jehovah's witness elders and the canadian church hid the sexual abuse she says she suffered at the hands of her father.

I have tried so hard to keep quiet, to quit these boards but arrogant &^&@#$ force my hand.
Honestly:
This man stuck his finger inside his daughters vagina. The elders then insisted that she sit in front of three men and her father and explain how deep his fingers went inside her.
Men of conscience resigned as elders over how the Society dealt with her situation. But nooo according to you it isn't true.
You are the one twisting facts. And yes I do know the facts. This girl was abused. Her mother was not told to report it and the Society told the elders not to report. Later on another body of elders also investigated and failed to follow the law and subjected her to another mental rape during said investigation.
The Society is culpable for the added mental strain and re-raping of this girl while she was a teen not to mention the interference they played in preventing the initial abuse from being investigated by trained secular authorities.
I am glad to hear you are free of the trap called Watchtower but your defense herein makes any such departure rather hollow. If you did indeed know all the facts, you would not be defending the Society in this matter. It sounds more like you have a personal beef with this girl. Be that as it may, a personality dispute is not grounds for denying that abuse took place as you have done here.

the discussion board and chat located at jehovahs-witness.com will be shut down permanently as of midnight (gmt), sunday august 18, 2002. .
this is primarily due to the recently added stress on simon and his family as a result of the moderator issue.
he simply does not want to see his hard work come to naught and is shutting down while still at the peak of it's success.
Simon:
I for one am glad to hear that. Perhaps the shock post was over the top but people ned to get over themselves and think about the possible outcome of their actions.
This is visions of H20 all over again. I just feel really bad that you have to endure this crap.

So how long do you think it will be before you see such an announcement here? Then what? All the whiners and complainers will have to find someplace else to complain about and the people who really benefit from this site lose out.
Simon doesn't need this aggravation in his life. Not to mention the fact that his one vacation with his family has now been ruined as a result of self absorbed trolls creating a huge controversy where there is none.
Don't feed into this. Don't feed the trolls.

i shudder to think.
thou art supreme.oh pris!
to make 4000 posts on this board i reckon youve got to be tough.

Interesting that you chose to post threads started by and not all posts made by.
It would be the latter in which people could see the foul gutterlike language and personal attacks of which she excels.
I am not necessarily saying she should be deactivated but let's not make a saint out of an abrasive and abusive poster that she has shown herself to be over the past several years.
And MD's participation of late has been nothing more than an attack and run. Such a fine addition to this board now...

Just a presumption. When they mentioned where you were from and your name I put 2 and 2 together..normally I get 5 but htis time I was right! LOL
I feel a bit guilty tho that they ran out of time. I was "Peter". I wasn't really expecting to be on the line as long as I was but my mouth is like a frieght train, once it gets rolling it is pretty damn tough to get it to stop.
Just to clarify to some who listened to the program, regarding some of my phraseology etc, Theocratic Warfare allows me to become all things to all people. When in Rome....

Nice job on the program. It was great that you could highlight the SilentLambs issues and the disfellowshipping of all the child advocates. Great tie in regarding Shunned Father too!!
It was too bad they ran out of time before Lew (Dakota?) could get on the air. But it was good to hear Craig tell of his experience.
