  Texan Billboard

  by Pubsinger in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  didn't the judge rule in the candace conte trial that wts did not have a responsibility to notify the congregation only to protect them?

  i think this is hugely missing the point.

  other churches and organisations have strict policies to protect members from sex offenders but they do not 'notify' in the sense that i think these people want.. so the wt response to that particular question will be 'no.

  Yes so that means that the question on the billboard is totally the wrong question....

  607 article on JW website

  http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2011736.

  i've not bothered to read anything on this for years as i addressed it personally years ago.

  but in this official article they appear to be focusing all their argument on the '70 years' part of the debate.

  Read 'Reconsidered' 15 years ago. I know all about the 607 myth.

  What I am asking is: are they no longer tying 607 to the 2520 years ending in 1914? And just using the 'signs of the times' to support 1914?

  If they are then 607 no longer matters and this whole article is just to save face and make them appear scholarly.

There appears to be no mention at all of the small detail of them needing it to be 607 for them to arrive at 1914 for the end of the Gentile Times.

  Have they scrapped the 2520 years stuff?

  The Bones are starting to Show

  the latest phase of the uk charity commission case included this:.

  subsequent to the opening of the inquiry, in a letter dated 10 july 2014, mr cook of the watchtower informed the respondent that the disfellowshipping hearing for mr rose had in fact been carried out by the elders of a different congregation, so the charity had played no role in that process.

  mr cook (who is the in-house solicitor at the watchtower) later elaborated on his own letter in a witness statement for the tribunal.

  I wish some court would just lay it on the line and say the equivalent of 'look SOMEONE is going down for this, so if you don't think you are the person who is responsible, point out who is and we'll make sure the right person is sanctioned.' And then sit back while they all point fingers at each other. They want the authority but not the responsibility.

  Rob Sutherland in a young gun hatchet man out to make a name for himself. Expect to see longstanding, faithful elders removed and destroyed.

  Governing Body Sheep Fleecing - Official!

  fellow witnesses - do you think the kingdom hall belongs to you, just because you all paid for it and personally finance its maintenance?

  think again, sheep!

  the "shepherds" have announced the fleecing in black & white for you, in case you decide to question them!.

  Great stuff! That is gonna come back to haunt them next time they try to claim that congregations are not under their control or their responsibility. It also shows in writing that they hold the legal system in contempt.

  They really are idiots this lot.

  Congregation had to relocate Memorial...thanks to me

  by Shepherd Book in

  2. experiences

  so, the two local congregations were planning to hold their memorial together at 7:30 at the local community center, but they had to make a last-minute change to their own hall, and i'm pretty sure it was because of me.. let me explain.... at work on monday afternoon, a co-worker returned from her lunchbreak and showed me the memorial invitation that was waiitng in her door when she went home for lunch.

  i noticed the sticker on the back indicated the memorial was being held, not at the local hall, but at the community center.

  from a past (non-jw) event i attended there, i knew they didn't allow alcohol (unless you pay for security guards), so i wrote to the center's coordinator:.

  i'm sure many of us have seen the local design construction video for elders that was leaked on youtube.

  i saw a few seconds of it and was going to the library to download it, but at that point it was taken offline.

  now, a heavily edited version is on jw broadcasting.

  Are there other parts to this video and what is the bottom line? As per usual WT loves the sound of its own voice.
