get a lawyer.. expatbrit
Well, thank you, Expatbrit. I enjoyed reading the highlighted areas. The Foster one I read all the way through. The man's a jerk.
I'm getting an education in reading legal writings, and the appeals. Sometimes I can understand them......sometimes not.

protest rally agenda:
purpose :
to make the public aware of what the watchtower society is really about and what harm it is deliberately doing.
Yo Herk,
Uzzah's a man. You know how men are. (Stop glaring at me, Uzzah. I'm older than you & I don't care. You're still cute, so I've heard.)
Btw, are you a man, Herk? I would assume so by your opening post on this thread.
I was there when a JW businessman was threatened by his fellow elders and by the Society with disfellowshipping. And for what reason? He felt he had a legal and moral obligation to report to the police about a case of pedophilia in the congregation. Despite the Society's threat, he went to the police and, yes, he was disfellowshipped for "insubordination" and "rebellion."
If you've been following Barbara Anderson's Court Case (which is just starting) - her attorney has offered an open invitation for any of us to call him either for information about her case..........or for anyone who wants to talk about their own situation. One of the main points of her case is that she was df'd for being in a Whistle Blower's situation with a corporation/religion. She was df'd for exposing their secrets - the same as the above jw businessman.
I've heard of some of Ed Bell's cases (other than jw ones) - and he has a good win record in some major cases.
If this xjw businessman is still around and wishes to speak about his situation, even set the matter straight............please pass on Ed Bell's phone number? 1-843-546-2408 Either speak with him or his paralegal. Good people.

edited to add - I didn't stop to think that you may be in Canada. Bell's in South Carolina, USA. So it might be a moot point. But I enjoyed your post!
whispered on the grapevine in oz is that a former elder has sued a body of elders for wrongful df and won!
the plaintiff claimed harrassment and physical abuse by the elders.
apparently the court awarded costs amounting to around $30,000 australian to the plaintiff.
HEY OZZIE!
The beginning post above is MARCH 18, 2002 (or close.)
What's happened since then?
Is this court decision on an internet somewhere?
Thanks - waiting
i would just like to take a moment to thank all you generous souls for the donations that you have sent to vicki and scott during this difficult time for them.
i know that some of you have little cash to spare and yet gave what you could to a person you likely have not even met.
this is a very touching.. at the risk of sounding pushy we would just like to stress the ongoing nature of this collection, so please do not feel that you are too late to help, or that what you have is too little to make a difference, even a few dollars makes a big difference.
Dearest Hillary,
Is it really true that we get a Celin Dion Greatest Hits CD? Not that that wouldn't be marvelous........but I turn her off on the radio now.
What will I do with a whole CD of her songs? Christmas Gift?
Thanks, Simon, for the explanation. I didn't have any problem using PayPal for Vicki. And the site was great looking.

*sigh* - no costumes for Mr. & Mrs. Waiting. I told my born in the org. husband about that.........and I thought he was gonna lose his eyeballs - they rolled so far back in his hard head.
lol - good thing he's easy going on some other stuff. But costumes? A Big NO.
I'll just drink & watch the kilt wearers in the breeze.

i thought you would enjoy this gem from the archives.

jehovah?s witnesses, in their eagerness for jesus?
1974 "Yes, the end of this system is so very near! Is that not reason to increase our activity?...Reports are heard of brothers selling their homes and property and planning to finish out the rest of their days in this old system in the pioneer service. Certainly this is a fine way to spend the short time remaining before the wicked world's end." (Kingdom Ministry, May 1974, p. 3)THIS is the infamous quote that the locals would LOVE not to be there. They insist that the WT NEVER encouraged that thinking of selling your home, etc. The locals "made their minds over" just as the WT told them to.

This thread changes subjects more than the WT.
My kids are all 1/5 Osage. Their great grandfather was nearly full blooded - and weird. My middle son found that side of the family by doing a google search. One of his uncles had posted a message......"If you know Paul................, email. You've got family."
He emailed, he got family.....LOTS of 'em. They've corresponded through the mail, sending him pictures & stories - which are similar to what I'd heard.
Strange family I married into (1st husband).
