  my dad now an ex witnesses was visited last sunday by an active witness who said that during the special talk in the assembly in colchester england they would be advised to begin stockpiling food and water for what could a economic meltdown!.

  my dad reminded him about the ancient israelites who relied on jehovah and were provided with mana after their escape from egypt, the point was lost on him!.

  have the governing body become a pseudo survivalist regime, and where is their faith!!.

  Yesterday, while researching and calling various people about the Stacy Dugard/ Gulardo case and why the Watchtower/ JW connection was buried, I found it interesting one of the prosecuting DAs on the case was a D.A. who has done pro-bono work for Watchtower. More digging to be done on this one!

  I think the Society might drop its appeal over the Conti case

  by cedars in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i've been giving some thought to the recent development in which the judge has ruled that the society is barred from completing any property transactions until the appeal is over, which could take up to two years or even more.. i've submitted an article to randy at freeminds in which i basically argue that it is no longer in the society's interests to appeal this case.

  if i correctly understand the restrictions placed on the society by the judge, then the governing body has far more to lose by appealing than they could conceivably gain.. think about it.... by appealing, they buy themselves time in which to formulate a long-term strategy for dealing with the fallout of this case, but will be barred from liquidating $1 billion in property assets at a time of global economic uncertainty when their donations are dwindling.

  there is also no guarantee that their appeal will be upheld.by dropping their appeal, they take a hit and pay $23.8 million but retain the freedom to see through their real estate projects; retain their financial flexibility to respond to dwindling donations, and get to pretend to their followers (as with the un scandal) that it never happened.of course, i am only saying that dropping the appeal would be the only intelligent option for the society, assuming they are aware of how legally precarious their child abuse policies are.

  What Watchtower Got Wrong with Their Child Molestation Policy

  by Billy the Ex-Bethelite in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  in the style of stephen lett, i'm trying to come up with an exhaustive, enumerated list (without his crazy eyebrows, goofy facial expressions, and nutty voice).

  what watchtower has gotten wrong isn't just their 2 witness rule.

  it goes much deeper into other failures of jw dogma that has allowed this injustice and others to flourish in their organization.

  Spot on Billy.

  The secret meeting stuff bothered me when I was a kid. The society made a big deal about Jesus being tried in secret. The older men at the gates struck me a totally different than what JWs have done, appointing any "yes man" with or without a "GED" (or IQ), and an average of 10hrs in field service as an Elder.

  In the ancient cultures I would imagine it only took a FEW of the best, most experienced men for an ENTIRE CITY to judge in PUBLIC. Not a ton of struggling inexperienced men in secret star chambers.

  In most "Worldly" courts today, a relatively few people judge for entire populations. They had enough smarts to get through many years of college, pass a difficult exam, practice law for years, stay out of scandals, and be respected/popular enough to appointed judges. The courts are open to the public and press to help keep everyone honest. Even they are kept in check by Juries, and opposing attornies.

  Elders have no business investigating crime. They have NO training. They have no equipment or access to forensics. They have no legal standing.

  I have hired 2 more employees this week that are DF'd to go with my several jw employees...i am giving an amazing witness!!

  by oompa in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i had two new positions open up out of the blue recently and as luck would have it...for some reason i know a helluva lotta ex-jws lol!

  especially with two young and popular dfd sons who also hang with a lot of ex dubs...but that maybe is another thread....we are drawn to those with similarities very often and being an exjw is a pretty small club....and we left a true brotherhood to many and a network for sure to everyone else.

  so at work none of the non jws care for the jws and some have asked them to stop giving them paper crap and leave them alone...when one of them acted pissed that i had told some of the guys he would not ride with me to a jobsite lmao....of course they thought a new level of insanity had overtaken one of my normally great employees...so i told her "why would i not mention that to the shop guy/friends...im not ashamed of anything???".

  Last night I got some unusual phone calls from active JWs. WOW- one walked out of the hall when the part about Estate planning and Wills was presented (leave all your $$ to WTBTS).

  His take. Not a word at the hall about Child Molestation and this case that was all over the papers this weekend. Just "give us more money"..."they sound like Christiandom"!

  He asked me if I remembered as a kid "all the parts making fun of the Catholic Church constantly begging for money". I simply said YES. - Well another one bites the dust.

  Candace Conti, not satisfied with the outcome

  by Joey Jo-Jo in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  so the evil slave was fined, and there was justice, but really was there any justice?

  when was the last time you saw a helper for a crime be fined money?

  why is it that those maggots at the wb&ts who have cause such pain and death be allowed to walk away with a 26m fine and frozen assets?

  We need a fresher case. Statute of limitations. I am thinking about obstruction. Possibly some Rico statutes. :)
