i've listened to quite a few but for some reason, this one has me really angry.. my heart goes out to the young family dealing with this bull shite.. give a listen.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifkpiqigq9c.
I didn't listen to the recording. I gather that this was at the conclusion of the audience:
"You've been disfellowshipped for apostasy, we have a few Scriptures we'd like to share with you ... "
It is very strange because after you DF an individual you don't share anything else spiritual with him, like a scripture or prayer; any texts will be mentioning prior to communicating the disfellowshiping and probably as the basis for the action.
belen castro sued the toppenish congregation along with watchtower bible and tract society of new york and watchtower bible and tract society, because she was molested when she was 11 and 12 years old.
he had sued virgil bushman, the perpetrator, but that was settled prior.
watchtower along with the congregation won the motion for summary judgment and belen then appealed the decision.
Sounds reasonable

Skepsis
Yes, JHK has been around for some time and normally he has inside information about the goings at the Branch. The other two sites are new and still stumbling.
Buena Suerte

The EXTJ forum was closed by the owners at the end of last year, they have gone thru a difficult time taking care of their elderly parents and were just worn out.
Some of the friends are trying to get some other sites going, I am listing two of them. It seems rather difficult, since they are competing against each other; none has reached 100 members yet.
I am listing also the blog of JHK, it has going on for many years and has excellent material and following.
i was doing some research on another topic and i came across this from the march 1950 watchtower.... absence of prayer at public meetings!november 17, 1949dear brother:answering your query of the 9th instant regarding the absence of prayer in opening and closing our public meetings:it is certain that the public does not come to our public lectures in our kingdom hall or elsewhere to hear us pray, but do come to hear the advertised subject spoken upon by the speaker announced as competent to handle it.
our exemplar jesus held many public lectures, but there is no record that he opened or closed any of them with prayer.
there is no bible record that he opened up the sermon on the mount with prayer, or those open-air lectures after which he fed the multitude, first the 5,000 and then the 4,000. but there is a record that when he thus fed the multitudes he did offer prayer of thanksgiving to god before breaking the bread and fish and distributing the pieces to the hungry crowds.

Early 70s?
Since the public talk was "public" there was a 15 min break from the public meeting to the Watchtower Study.
i recently caught up with an old friend who lives in fremont, ca (yes, the same fremont where candace conti is from).
it’s a good-sized suburb of san jose, with around a population of 230,000. i lived there for a few years during the 90’s, and at the time there were 7 english jw congregations with the following names:.
north, central, south, niles, warm springs, mission hills, and irvington.
Happening all over, without the Northern California mitigating factors:
i went with my husband tonight for the first time.
it was pretty appalling how they lied about the 144k and everyone else.
then passing the wine and bread for nothing.
One item, on the one that I listened the name Jehovah was mentioned only once.
did anybody (who went to the memorial) notice the opening song?.
keep in mind that this is the most important night of the year for the witnesses.
it is supposed to be all about jesus christ.
I noticed that they did not mention the number of partakers from last year like they normally do. Kinda hard to explain when that number keeps going upThe number was mentioned (15k) here and the speaker said the fact that it is a small number is proof we are in the time of the end.
this is the last boe we will be able to provide.
our informant or source, was caught, disfellowshipped, and thrown out of bethel.
we knew that sooner or later the watchtower would find him out.
No further news?
