as a few may recall watchtower policy has changed when circumstances serves the interest of the governing body in getting rid of someone they want to railroad.
an example that has been offered involves peter gregerson.
peter was a personal friend to ray franz, in 1980 peter wrote a letter to the society, saying he wanted no further association with the organization.
Obviously your insistence on communication through a lawyer is one of many things that irritate them about you and what you stand for. The WT hierarchy is not used to being told how to do things and is not about to change for anyone, least of all you.
They would rather be blatantly unjust than appear to respect your request, however reasonable.
I hope you do intimidate them. If so, you may have to go to several Thursday night meetings in a row.
Kind regards,
Sam
Nicely done, LL

the article in the calgary sun is entitled "jehovah girl's secret treatment still ongoing.
" interestingly, the girl's father has been forced to divorce his wife in order for the judge to grant him access to seeing his daughter.. http://www.canoe.ca/calgarynews/08n3.html
"...the girl's father has been forced to divorce his wife in order for the judge to grant him access to seeing his daughter."
The WTS really does break up families! What ever happened to famly headship in the JW community?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/2169663.stm .
just read this sorry if it's already been posted.. could this be used by those with power within the jws to cite against blood transfusions?
Im sure you know that all organ transplantations are performed with some risk, certainly including blood transplantation. Patients and physicians must weigh the benefits against the risks in this and all medical procedures. When ones life is at stake, the risks of transplantation usually seem small by comparison.
Remember, however, that JWs objection to blood transplants is
Religious, Biblically Based , not medically based, not cost/benefit analysis based, not risk based. Do you JWs out there remember that?

i am shocked and outraged by the recent actions of the watchtower society to silence child advocates who's only agenda is to stop the rape and molestation of jehovah's witness children and protect them from the known pedophiles operating within the organization.
those in the organization who are responsible for these reprehensible actions must be sanctioned.
i sincerely hope that voting members of the watchtower society will insist on the removal of all corporate directors who support the current policies that harm children and protect pedophiles.

this is to alert all folks in canada and the united states that a civil court case will be going to trial on september 8, 2002 in the greater toronto area.
again this case is a civil case and not a criminal case.
the case involves one vicki boer who now resides in eastern canada.
Vicki, it is great to see you posting. Those of us in the United States and elsewhere are with you in spirit. Im sure Hawkaw will beat the drums and get many of your Canadian sympathizers to offer support to you and your husband.
We will follow your case here.
Warm regards,
Sam
the jw comments to the scottish press available at the silent lambs website sounded very familliar!
looks like more outright lying!
"jehovah's witnesses further believe that it is the absolute right of the victim, his or her family or anyone else to report the matter to the authorities if they so choose.
Well said coffee,
I was not aware of the many twists possible with the word "sanction."

heh, while we'd love to have kids, we aren't too keen on the idea in this system...but the only way to guarentee that is to practice abstinence and we aren't too keen on that idea either, therefore we've "planned" in a way for it, but aren't planning on it exactly either... .
this is very disturbing indeed.
if you're going to bring another human being into this world, it should be a carefully considered decision and done at the appropriate time, when both partners feel it is right and you can support the child.
Before the pill most kids were "unplanned."
hippocratic oath.
to reckon him who taught me this art equally dear to me as my parents, to share my substance with him, and relieve his necessities if required; to regard his offspring in the same footing with my own brothers, and to teach them this art, if they should wish to learn it, without fee or stipulation; and that by precept, lecture, and every other mode of instruction, i will impart a knowledge of the art to my own sons and those of my teachers, and to disciples bound by a stipulation and oath, according to the law of medicine, but to none others.. .
i will follow that method of treatment which, according to my ability and judgment, i consider for the benefits of my patients, and abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous.
Thank you, NewWay. The WTS could benefit from adopting some of the principles in this oath.

LovesDubs said: I believe that the good hearted ones ARE LEAVING this organization. And we all know that takes time. It took me five years to actually leave once I knew I was leaving...FIVE YEARS. So have patience my loved ones...the exodus is happening like the beginnings of a Tsunami...silently under the waters until it builds the power to explode out onto the land. Wait for it.
Well said LD, and you may be correct.
Regards,
Sam
PS Excellent thread, btw.
