Hines v, Watchtower

by DNCall in

attorneys for the governing body have responded to the complaint in the above matter by filing a motion to dismiss the complaint.

the underlying argument its that the governing body is not a legal entity and thus cannot sue or be sued.. the zalkin firm will file an opposition to the motion and perhaps and amended complaint.. what remains a curiosity is why watchtower new york has apparently not been served.. you can read the motion here..

Go, Mr. Zalkin!! We are rooting for you!! 🙏😀👍🏻

JW’s and Charity Organizations

by longgone in

i was wondering if anyone is aware of the jw’s in general being involved financially and/or as volunteers in charity organizations?

i was a born in jw for 56 years and left in 2016. as far as i remember there was never any encouragement to help in the community in any way.

including soup kitchens, tutoring at schools, united way, etc.

What a horrible experience to go through, long gone. I pray that you will heal this bad memory, and can move on, and find a good charity. ((Hugs)). 👍🏻

I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s, and I too was always told if we had time for volunteering, our time is best spent in the field service, and any money we had to donate should rightly go to the society, not ‘worldly’ charities.

Did You Miss Playing Sports?

by Sea Breeze in

how many of you missed playing sports in school?

the wt was merely trying to keep us from committing suicide.... how loving.take a look at this fear mongering :problems with sports today - g91 8/22 p. 5. .

"people used to argue that sports were of value because they built character.... such arguments sound hollow, even hypocritical.. .

Yes, I hated being the outsider, always looking in, but never allowed to be part of anything at school. One teacher even put a comment on my report card that she thought it would be good for me to join the Girl Scouts. My parents, of course, poo-pooed that suggestion. No Christmas, birthdays, Halloween, Easter, etc. No after school sports, clubs, no school dances, no Prom, nothing. If you say you’re unhappy, they tell you to study the Watchtower more, or go in service more. I HATED going in service.

While I was never sexually molested, I learned about oral and anal sex at the Kingdom Hall, along with what an orgy is. I was 10 or under. This so-called ‘religion’ is harmful on so many levels.
