montana jury awards two women $35m in sex abuse lawsuit against jehovah's witnesses .
a jury in northwestern montana awarded two women $35 million wednesday in their lawsuit against the local jehovah’s witnesses congregation and its worldwide headquarters.. .
If the others are anything to go by, WT will appeal to get the amount reduced and will pay up subject to a gagging order.
Can’t the authorities see the irony that the whole thing is to do with failure to report and then when a judgement is made, the court allows WT to hide behind reporting restrictions!!!
walked into panda express for lunch the other day and there was a unusually long line.
i notice a large group of folks that had a familiar dress and smile on their faces.
the women dresses below the knees and the men wearing the top of line goodwill special suits.
Next time say very loudly as they leave “Excuse me?! Could you please take your RUBBISH with you”
well, the title says it all.
the dutch government will look into the possibility to revoke the charity status of jw after they refused to cooperate in the child abuse scandal.. the government urged the jw to start an independent investigation into the jw child abuse issues, and after some stalling the jw flatout refused.
unfortunately the government can't really force them.. the chance that the charity status is actually revoked is very small as there appears to be no legal basis to do so, but right now the government and house of representatives are very annoyed with jw.. and in the meantime the da will continue their investigation based on the victims officially reporting abuse to the police..
It is scandalous how toothless the government/authorities are when someone just point blank refuses to cooperate. If that doesn’t send alarm bells ringing nothing will.
i'm new to this site.
i've been out for 27 years and was trying to figure out how to get in touch with others that may also be on here from my old congregation.
it was warrensburg , ny....
You’d be better off searching Facebook. I have 100 friends on there, all of my best ones, who have all independently left the JWs.
who among us has known a jw who has committed suicide.
i believe this as a separate subject has not been covered..
At least 5 that I can think of immediately. Two were actual brothers, under 30, and both suffered with mental illnesses.
One a young woman from my own group of friends, in very early 20s.
An elder, very intelligent, had rebelled slightly and become a school teacher but ‘in good standing’ because of his connections.
Actually last one was a multiple attemptee. Including hurling herself from at least 4th floor of a block of flats. Survived. 2 kids under 10 at the time.
i met a wonderful man on match.com several months ago.
on our first date, there was amazing chemistry and we ended up having sex.
it was not planned, it just happened.
Seriously, follow my advice and see how quickly he drops YOU...

Tell him you want to go to the meeting with him. Insist on walking in hand in hand, and tell everyone you speak to that the last six months have been the best you’ve ever had and that when he stays over at yours you feel so loved and safe. Tell them all that you’re a Christian and that you can’t wait to take him to your church and introduce him to your friends.

Hi! I was here on the forum 16 years ago if that’s what you mean? And I have Little Toe on Facebook.
Much love to you. Hope your wishes come true!
this is the circuit assembly hall i attended since childhood.
if you're a jw and you grew up in liverpool, lancashire or manchester then this is the hall you attended.
when i was little i remember the decor inside being red and cream coloured.
Drove past it less than 2 weeks ago. Had to go to Didsbury from Halifax to pick up a rather nice guitar I had bought, and was blindly following my sat nav on the way back because I wanted to call in at the Trafford Centre to do some shopping. Next thing I know I’m passing a big sign saying Northenden and everything thing seemed so familiar. I also thought the building looked fantastic. They certainly know how to protect their investments.
since leaving the borg i jumped both feet first into classes i've always wanted to do but was never "allowed" to.
two of which are life drawing and photography.
i've been studying for almost two years now and have seen more nude men and women in our classes than i care to remember.. today in the photography studio i was working in with three others (two women, one man) we were told we had a new person modelling for us.
Usual hypocrisy. When it suits them.
