how many people or their families, friends etc.
would have a turkey on or around thanks-giving and say they weren't celebrating they were just having dinner.. my mother and her friends would get a free turkey around tg time and they would cook it on thanks giving because everyone was home from work.. its not celebrating... its just turkey!!!.
.
Yeah - at least somewhere over that four day weekend we'd get together with an extended JW family and have turkey with all the fixins!
Lots of non-JW people tell me it's their favorite holiday - all the family getting-together and good food fun of Xmas without all the gift giving stress.

a very reputable documentary film producer would like to talk to a woman between 19-25 years old who is taking legal action in order to vindicate child sex crimes perpetrated against her and covered up by the wt society or their elders.
specifically, the "cover up," as in not reporting the crime to secular authority, should have occurred after 2002 in canada or us.
if you can help out or have information, please pm me.
Thanks for keeping this near the top. I'd like to do that for another week or so, see if we can get anymore responses.
Hubert - Hope you're enjoying your weekend!

Min is obviously a minimist, not an extremist.
Except when it comes to starting threads!

OM - it works nicely. That's an interesting thread.
The shortage of elders, and the fact that they've lost many of the best and brightest, does not bode well for the WTS. My ex-wife is still a JW, and does not speak well of many of the appointed men in the congregations she knows very well. There are only a handful of brothers she seems to regard with much respect.
The same is true with my daughter's congregation on Cape Cod.

Here's a thread I started on this same topic a while ago. Has some very interesting figures, which seem to be fairly accurate, that the WTS has lost about a third of the elders.

Maybe someone can activate the link for me, thank you very much.

they were talking about how when you are in a cult, you are not allowed to think outside their 'box'.
i didn't say anything and she says "that sounds just like the jw's doesn't it?".
i just smiled and said yes...i was thinking that very thought but wasn't going to say anything.
I remember the stock JW answer about people who were "on the fence."
"You know who owns the fence don't you? Satan!"
Yuck....

ive read barbaras intro to the pedophile records and thought it might be useful to have a record here on the forum of the most damning and verifiable facts regarding the pedophilia situation.
sort of a summary.
that way we can all have a source to go to and be able to quickly summarize whats criminal about the way the society has used its authority in this matter.
Very nicely done, LennyinB. We need to be compiling more threads like this where we break down and catalog the info from the court documents.
