  WT Lawyers response in Hines v. Watchtower CSA case 2/11/22

  by iloowy.goowy in

  2. scandals

  this is the link to the memorandum of law in the hines v. watchtower csa case filed last friday 2/11/22.https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/viewdocument?docindex=vzujfhgk0etye/azc/kcbg==.

  it is the wt lawyers reply in the trial where deborah hines accuses wt hierarchy even governing body members of continuing to employ a known child abuser, her own dad, at bethel because he was indispensable to them in video-production.

  the slimy wt excuses start on page 7 of 28 where, as far as my non-legally mind can understand, the wt lawyers say the governing body can't get sued because they're not a corporation, nor are they mandated reporters of abuse, meaning they don't have to say anything by law even if they know a crime has occurred.. the slimy wt lawyers are also pretty good at playing with words to hide the fact that the governing body does run the business of the watchtower but from behind the scenes.

  That just means that Deborah walked away with nothing more than a case of Macallan Classic Cut left behind in Tony's closet.

  Christmas Decorations at the Kingdom hall

  i can't remember if i've told this story before .... but back in the day, in irlam congregation (northwest england, uk, cheshire #1 circuit i think) we used to rent a kingdom hall for many years before we eventually built our own.. preston hall.

  ah, the memories .... it was primarily used as a community hall for old folks, but we had it friday night and sunday morning.. there was a loft and fold-out ladder and we used to store the chairs up their.

  every meeting, there would be an assembly line of all the "lads" to pass the chairs down and set them up, then collect them up and pass them back up at the end of the meeting.

  In the 70s and 80s, we had our circuit assemblies in a Jewish Synagogue in New York City. It eventually became Watchtower property but it practically remained a full on Jewish Synagogue with nearly everything (interior and exterior) still in tact. I remember thinking "why are we sitting inside this pagan church having an assembly"?

  the dalai lama has apologised after footage showed him asking a boy if he wanted to suck the tibetan spiritual leader's tongue.. .

  his office said he wanted to apologise to the child and his family "for the hurt his words may have caused".. .

  the video also shows the dalai lama kissing the child on his lips.. soon after the pope alleged peodo activity .

  The Gentile Times Reconsidered (607 B.C.E.) -Part A1 - Jeremiah 25:10-12 Reviewed

  during the last three to four months, i have spent a great deal of time sinking my teeth into various critical biblical commentaries and lexicons.

  naturally, after beginning to research "the truth about the truth" one of the most commonplace yet controversial arguments revolve around the "gentile times" doctrine (i.e.

  the application of the seven times of daniel 4 from 607 b.c.e.

  I could be wrong, but I seriously doubt that Tony Morris has PTSD.

  What I have noticed about Vietnam vets in general is the following:

  1) Those who saw little to no action tend to enjoy talking about the war at every turn for some reason. They also tend to embellish their role in the war.

  2) Those who brutal action on the front lines do NOT like to talk about the war at all... ever. Especially those who still suffer from chronic PTSD.

  Since Tony never wastes an opportunity to talk about Vietnam, that makes me believe he saw nothing that would give him PTSD. Maybe just a few bleeding patients every now and then. Just my humble 2 cents based on my own observations (not based on any medical knowledge).

  Does Gilead have any accreditation?

  by journey-on in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when a witness talks about someone who has "graduated" from gilead, they always make it sound like such an accomplishment as if they graduated from harvard or somethin...lol.

  i know it's called the watchtower bible school of gilead and is located at the watchtower educational center in patterson, ny (sounds impressive, uh?)..

  it used to be known as the watchtower bible college of gilead in south lansing, ny.. does this school have any accreditation that you know of or is it just glorified classroom training for jw "missionaries"?

  Confirmation Bias

  by allelsefails in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've read a lot of crap in my life (not just wts) and i have finally found the phrase to describe almost every religious wrting i've read.

  "confirmation bias" affects how jws look at historical facts, how dems and repubs look at economic facts, or how all people look at information presented to them.

  i still go to meetings every once in a while to make my wife and my boss feel better about me, but sometimes i can't believe how idiotic some things are.
