Grave art on the back of stone. That must be Russell frying his brain for the last two years of his life, trying to figure out why 7 times 360 doesn’t equal 2520.

Russell’s stone taken from the downhill side. It’s quite a steep hillside

Article: Pa. courts weigh whether Jehovah's Witnesses elders must report confessed child abuse

by AndersonsInfo in

https://pennrecord.com/stories/654791353-pa-courts-weigh-whether-jehovah-s-witnesses-elders-must-report-confessed-child-abuse.

harrisburg – after the commonwealth court of pennsylvania dismissed a petition from a group of jehovah’s witnesses nearly two years ago, which argued the confidentiality of their confessions shielded them from being mandatory reporters of child abuse, the supreme court of pennsylvania overruled their colleagues and decided the commonwealth court must re-examine the action.. in a 24-page memorandum opinion authored by state supreme court chief justice debra todd and handed down feb. 13, the court found that their commonwealth court contemporaries violated the coordinate jurisdiction rule – which states “judges of coordinate jurisdiction sitting in the same case should not overrule each other’s decisions” – by its initial pair of separate findings that ivy hill congregation of jehovah’s witnesses did not have proper standing against the commonwealth’s department of human services, and that a grant of declaratory relief would not terminate the legal controversy.. todd was joined in the opinion by supreme court of pennsylvania justices christine donohue, kevin m. dougherty, david n. wecht and sallie updyke mundy.

justices p. kevin brobson and daniel mccaffery did not participate in the consideration or decision of this matter.. “appellant is a congregation of approximately 140 individuals in philadelphia, pennsylvania, who follow the tenets of the jehovah’s witnesses religion.

In the time I was growing up ('60s-'70s) the JWs were very proud of pointing at their Supreme Court (US) victories for preaching and their role in defining the First Amendment right of free speech. My dad was really into it and studied the JW pamphlet 'Legally Defending...' like it was the Bible.

It's kind of sad now that they are spending their time and money defending their 'right' to allow children to be abused.

Faithful Slave Appointment: What are the assumptions of Watchtower Matthew 24:45-47 Eschatology?

by Vanderhoven7 in

text: matthew 24:45-47.

45 “who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time?

46 it will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.

When I was growing up there was indeed an evil slave, defined by the WT as the Bible Students who left in the Rutherford years. These were the bad guys of the time period, ‘60’s in the US. Particularly in Chicago area, where some of the Bible Student leaders lived.

The OP is just wishful thinking. There is no master plan; the JW leadership just reacts, usually when it is too late.

That being said, the recent changes to reporting, beard allowance, etc. point to their reacting to the declining membership and associated donations. There is undoubtedly more to come in the next year. It will be interesting to see. It's kind of like watching a train wreck in slow motion.
