So your post exposes nothing that hasn't been predicted in scripture
I can't tell if you are being sarcastic in your post or not.
If you are serious, what you posted from Jude 1 perhaps fits the GB very well, but what is new is that GB members are being sued for the first time, assuming this law suit is real and makes it to trial.

Attorney Irwin Zalkin had previously said that Governing Body members would be sued in court. Perhaps this is what he was referring to.
The following is from the link posted by Xanthippe...
On Friday, attorney Irwin Zalkin held a news conference in Manhattan announcing that two alleged victims, Heather Steele and Michael Ewing, will file lawsuits in state Supreme Court in Brooklyn on Wednesday. The lawsuits will name as defendants eight members of the Governing Body of the Jehovah’s Witnesses (JWs).
Now located in Tuxedo Park, N.Y., the JWs World Headquarters occupied a building with a large Watchtower sign in Brooklyn.
“Litigation by the Zalkin Law Firm has exposed a database maintained by the JW containing information about known child molesters within the organization that dates back decades,” according to a news release from the law firm. “The JWs have defied numerous court orders compelling them to produce this database in several of the lawsuits.”

i live in fort worth.
fortunately, he preceded me by half a century!.
The History Channel's 'Haunted History' series did an episode on HH Holmes in 2013.
It's entitled Murder Castle, (Season 1, Episode 3). I stumbled on it completely by accident when channel surfing to see what's on.
They go heavily into the 'haunted spirits' angle, meaning the ghosts of Holmes victims are still roaming through his hotel in Chicago. This is nonsense to me, but when I hit the channel there was a photo of Holmes on screen that was one of the photos that Terry had posted. What a coincidence. It got my attention immediately and I watched a few minutes of it.
just in case this wasn't posted yet.. criminal charges against jehovah's witnesses for trial fraud.

TD: Members would be put under pressure if they accept blood transfusions in the event of life-threatening illnesses.
Thanks for the better translation. That makes much more sense!

...members of the religious community are pressured to accept blood transfusions...
Did Google Translate misfire here? Shouldn't it read that 'members of the religious community are pressured to reject blood transfusions?'
this happened yesterday.

Thank you Wake Me Up Before You Jo-Ho for explaining that!
this week alone this lovely person has been on bbc, late night comedy show, and now i read about her in toronto's globe and mail log inadchoices.
opinion.
i was raised a jehovah’s witness.
That was one of the most eloquent, accurate and gripping descriptions of disfellowshipping and shunning that I have ever read.
And the similarities between Chinese brainwashing and Jehovah's Witness indoctrination is eye opening.
i was recently talking with a zealous 'sister' who for years was assigned to use a certain chemical while taking care of wt property, only to have it irreparably damage her immune system partly because she wasn't trained properly.
she said there was a potential lawsuit but she didn't want to bring reproach on jehovah's organization.
has anybody else heard of similar situations, of people being hurt or injured in service to the org, maybe even because of them, and taking the loss so the org wouldn't look bad?.
... Watchtower actually asked for an official lawsuit because that is what is required for their insurance to pay out.
Are you sure that Watchtower isn't self insured in these matters? I'm not sure, just asking.
about birthdays.
several days ago i was waiting at the deli for the next batch of fried chicken when a man in his sixties came in.
he had called in his order two days earlier.
And that's exactly why birthdays and all other common occasions that bring families together are forbidden. New recruits stop being with their families. This creates a rift and resentment in the family.
Bingo!
JWs often claim the main reason they are not a cult is because they are not isolated from others by living in a commune. They may not live in a commune but they are as isolated as anybody on earth via no birthdays, no mother's day, no father's day, no Thanksgiving, etc. These are the very things that bring most families together.
