First off a big thankyou for putting this together.
A very disturbing and most useful collection of information. This is a doc that all here will print and pass on to those whose professional life involves kids.
an astonishing article has been published yesterday by the italian newspaper l’indro .

so let me get this straight.
even though law enforcement has their hands full with illegal drugs and guns on the street, child traffickers, dangerous gangs and such.
they are going to now pool all their resources to confiscate bibles and religious literature?!
Unless paper is water proofed once buried it will quickly rot.
I wonder what message the magazines from 1956 would have if dug up today, some very very old light?

Yes, you are quite correct the program was only a snapshot but must have been an 'eye-opener' for many who watched it.
the montana case enters the home stretch.
the state supreme court will hear oral arguments tomorrow, 13 september, at the northern hotel in billings during the state bar of montana’s annual meeting (announcement 1, announcement 2).
an introduction to the argument will begin at 9:30 a.m., with the argument starting at 10 a.m. (4 p.m. utc, 9 a.m. sf time, 12 a.m. ny time, 5 p.m. london time, 2 a.m. saturday sydney time).
re clergy privilege etc.
The wt here in Australia tried to pull that one on at the CARC and got told by the justice they cant have it both ways . I hope the lawyers in Montana for the victims have been made aware of this.
so let me get this straight.

Thanks all for the correction.
there was a time we could laugh about mindless silly things.
someone using an ethnic accent, making fun of their own race, making fun of someone’s intelligent, etc.
we could laugh without feeling constantly offended , upset or disturbed.
and here in Oz we have few nationally known comedians. And some especially female cant open their mouth without using profanity.

The convener Jennie Brockie missed a gold opportunity to ask the jw there the one in pink just why she insists on shunning her sister.
Their father said a few times his family was broken but he didnt have the ability (quote: the psychology") to make it well again. and why? was this because all the years of wt 'culture' meant he had no mental or learned ability in interpersonal skills? That he was as we all have been dissuaded from going to a counsellor?.
This family said several times they cant get together as the fight much of the time. The nature of those fights like what about would have been in context and revealing.
also, the one attending the kh said and this was not taken up, that she always got (gossip) told by other sisters of the the doings of her mother.
But these insights aside it was a clear expose of the family wrecking the wt indulges in.
Much credit must be given to the people involved who stepped into the spotlight with their 'demons'.
oh and best I recall the dfd started because one lady was "pecking" (kissing.?) an elders son. That is it.
what are you resolved to do if under ban?.
i wonder how many people were thinking about how that would be a great excuse to leave!
finally, a good out, you were just too afraid of the persecution.
Does anyone recall the experience given where a family/group/ what ever told of being away from the kh for a time and forgot they were in the t?
Blondie and Vidiot you are correct 100%
and the big persecution convention coming up will have its call for........................................$.
so let me get this straight.

I believe that such speech from the wt is just saying how important they are.
Persecution? It would not be beyond the wt to start an antisocial program of some sort to invoke the wrath of governments in one country or more in order to bring action against jw.
Wt had the funds and ability to repatriate the jw out of Nazi occupied lands to the US prior to the US entering the world war but it did not. The wt wanted martyrs.
I am on my third reading of the AV of the bible and do not recall the 'eyeball' quote. Perhaps it is in the wt bible only.yes/no?
