  Can a video involving a christien having sex be viewed and used by elders?

  by StephaneLaliberte in

  2. beliefs

  lets say someone has a sexual encounter and a third party video taps it.

  in canada, it would be illegal for the one that taped the video to show it to the elders as this would be "invasion of privacy".

  what i am wondering however is if any legal action can be done against the elders and the wt if they view this video and take it into account in a judicial comity.

  I have a relative whose wife told the elders he was physically abusing her. They wanted to meet with him. He wanted to prove his innocence and show that actually it was HER who was abusive so he videotaped several episodes of her fits of rage.

  His elders (California) flatly refused to even look at the tapes. Legal must have told them that there must be consent to be taped and consent for said tape to be viewed by others.

  Do you remember the 15 minute break at the Sun. meeting?

  by 3rdgen in

  a poster on another thread reminded me of when there was a 15 min.

  break between the talk and the wt study on sundays.

  the break was supposed to be to allow jw's time to drive their bible studys home from the talk.

  LisaRose asked if they shortened the meeting by 15 min. or fill in with "more meeting". As far as I can remember the attempt was to keep the meeting to two hours but at first HQ was not clear that the 2 hours INCLUDED the songs and prayers which often added as much as 10-20min.

  I remember my FIL at the time was the WT conductor. He would get steamed if the public speaker went overtime bc it meant he would have to shorten the WT study-sometimes dispensing with reading some of the paragraphs. Which reminds me, were read AFTER the QandAs. Can't remember when it was changed to reading the paragraphs before. He sometimes and told the cong that "We will have to move on to the next paragraph (without reading) because our study has been cut short. (By the speaker). LOL

  Yes, let the authorities sort it out. If it's a false alarm fine. If not, you may save a life.

  DD and Bonsai I agree, however, I do know one DFed nut job who left threatening messages to the elders and stalked the meetings to the point where the police issued a restraining order. There is no doubt in my mind that if left unchecked he could have gone postal.

  Nuts are found in every walk of life. Just because someone leaves a cult doesn't always mean he/she is is not STILL a nut.

  i think the GB IS concerned about the possibility. This fear is why tunnels were built for escape routes underneath the original headquarters and why the New headquarters is an isolated compound with plenty of security and an airport.

  RandF are on their own. GB........ NEVER!

  Employment Rules in the Watchtower Organization.

  by John Aquila in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a jehovah witness teacher is allowed to teach nonreligious subjects in a school owned by a religious organization but,.

  is not allowed to teach the same subject in a school funded or directed by the military..

  since the watchtower views all religious organizations as part of babylon the great who had gods disfavor and would be destroyed at armageddon, no elder including some members of the gb could explain this policy of employment.isocf pg 401.

  Here's another one. We know an elders wife (along with 3 more of their immediate family) who are professional photographers. Their main niche market is weddings. Nearly every weekend they are on location inside the various churches taking pics and making big money.
