Oh dear.........have no fear .......Sir Richard is here ........now he is going to defend a nutter. I really thought that most reading this would see that this report was about a delusional pitifully insane man - wasting precious high-court time ! I have not implied anything anti-JW by posting this - Just that it is so sadly funny ! His demands for one !
Now have JW's ever said or done anything delusional and nutty in the past ? and until now?
i'm at the stage where i'd love a big scandal to come along showing clearly that the j.w's are not the true religion, but sometimes i get touched inside by various thoughts or events, the russian court trial being one of them.. i mean, j.w's are understandably fixated with attending the memorial, so why didn't the court say it will resume on monday or tuesday, instead setting wednesday 12 april as the date?
part of me believes the comments from pro-j.w's that jehovah moved events so they could attend the memorial.. it seems the j.w's will not be banned, which makes my mind and heart wrestle between thinking jah's behind it, or maybe the ministry of justice is just woefully prepared compared to the superb australian royal commission team who did their homework.
it surprises me the russians seemingly haven't done any homework..
You are really having "doubts" about your doubts ? The choice has always been yours whether to leave or stay -
Is the memorial as celebrated by JW's scriptural / logical ? Can you answer that for yourself?

Pretoria [ South Africa] - An unusual urgent application served before the Gauteng High Court this week,in which a Lyttelton Manor resident, who said he is was known as the “anointed one” among Jehovah’s Witnesses, asked the court to officially swear him in as the worldwide leader of the organisation.
Ernest Gericke, in papers before the court, told Judge Bill Prinsloo that the “first business of the Christ is the legal establishment of the Kingdom of God on earth, known as the Jehovah’s Kingdom.”
Gericke said this involved the the conducting of a covenant for a kingdom, which is to take place on April 11.
“In order to effect the legal requirements for the kingdom this honourable court is requested to hear the public oath of the office of the King.
Gericke said this involved the the conducting of a covenant for a kingdom, which is to take place on April 11.
“In order to effect the legal requirements for the kingdom this honourable court is requested to hear the public oath of the office of the King.
“The court is therefore requested to call the plaintiff (himself) to the stand to make his public oath of office before witnesses.”
Gericke said the members of the governing body of Jehovah’s Witnesses would on April 11 be presented “with an oath to the King and upon them publically expressing that oath, they will become citizens of the kingdom. The kingdom will then be established.”
He in effect asked that the court order that he be named “as the rightful leader” of the Jehovah’s Witnesses, so that he could start executing his duties.
Gericke Geriche said the matter was extremely urgent, because the date of the memorial of Jesus’s death is was this year on April 11 and he had to be officially appointed by then. He said he did not expect the application to be opposed, “because the governing body is aware of the scripture in Ezekiel” which made provision for this.
He said the governing body has had seven members, all of whom were “anointed ones”. He wanted the court to also make provision so that the help of the police could be called in if any of the members of the organisation disregarded the court order that he be appointed as leader.
Gericke said the head office of the governing body was in New York, but he wanted this changed, to reflect that the South African branch in Krugersdorp is declared as the new temporary headquarters of the organisation.
He wanted the court to order the South African branch committee to immediately make living and office arrangements for him and some other members and that all members of the organisation worldwide had to from now report to the South African branch committee.
Gericke Geriche, among a long list of requests, also asked for an order that those who resisted or contravened the court’s order, had to be arrested.
Judge Bill Prinsloo, after considering the application, removed it from the roll as it did not meet the legal requirements for an urgent application.

on another forum, a user posted that their partner is being hauled before a jc for asking questions and, that the jc will go ahead regardless if in attendance or not.. the post does not say what questions were being asked.
another user responded with - possibly viewed as 'brazen conduct'.

Just a follow-up here :
Firstly the topic was raised by Tallon and not by me. [No ill-feelings Tallon]
Secondly as someone has just stated, There is no intention to litigate etc unless something really crazy gave cause for that. Besides I don't have access to unlimited dedicated funds like the JDubbery.
There was also some harassment of me taking place which the Legals have put an end to.
Thirdly - Mr Oliver - the resident apologist and polymath here - there are other details of which you have not been apprised that exist and the Legal folk are extremely interested in this as this legal team specialises in working with people who are extricating from High-Control groups and these details appear to impinge on some very sensitive areas within my countries very liberal and advanced Constitution.
However I personally am not wishing to do anything more except to bring down the curtain on my past life in the Dubbery! The necessity to involve the legal eagles was advice given in counselling sessions I have undertaken in order to "draw a line" between the past and the remainder of my life. I am not a junior member of society any longer - I have suffered severe depression in the last 7 years which took a major toll on our lives, Most of it related to the life as a Dub.
I do have severe anger toward the JW movement sufficient to warrant professional intervention ! I have to work on that full-time now as we continue to rebuild our new lives.
Should anything 'Interesting' transpire I will let the forum know . I hope not though!
Oh...the reason my questions became a basis for a charge of Apostasy is probably because I sent these questions by e-mail to the eldubbery and so they had something in writing. They are such cowardly cowering men. But not once did they attempt to address them.
I have been in full-fade mode for 4 years now and I have been fully and totally shunned anyway for all that time.
There is no loss to me socially~
haha!
yes folks!

Guys n Dolls yours truly knows all about this case and will keep you updated over the next few days - but its now fully a Legal matter [for what its worth] Go figure !
Regarding the Questions .....which were ......
1 - Overlapping Generations [please explain from the Scriptures] and
2 - Geoffrey Jacksons...." that would be presumptious" statement - How can we claim to be the Channel to God ? How can it be supported with Scripture.
The charge is Apostasy !
At NO time was any attempt made to provide "pastoral" intervention ...spiritual intervention and "Scriptural correction" [God forbid that such were possible]
You saw it on Reddit .
The letter contained some other details which we wont go into now...
The Zappa will keep you posted but ...they will probably be contacting Bethel as we speak and then who knows.....just proceed with casting the stone against the head -
The intention was NOT to try to overthrow the JC etc etc but just to place a final statement on record as a 6 decade life hooked onto this cult now terminates !
Also there was NO intention to go and grovel in the back-room and waste precious time - while they boosted their ego's -
Amen

I cannot imagine that all the Muslim folk in the UK are condoning this attack in any way - However were I Muslim I would probably not want to be too conspicuous on London streets right now.
