Saturday's Conference Call

did anyone hear this past saturday's conference call with rick?.

one of his guests brought out how back in 1989 the wt was considering whether or not they should disfellowship those in the congregations who were overweight!

their rationale for this was that since smoking was already a disfellowshipping offense and since smoking is bad for your health, being overweight is also bad for your health, therefore should it be made into a disfellowshipping offense.

2. child-abuse
i spoke to the bklyn da's office today and explained some details about the pedophile coverup within the wts.i told him about the list of 23,720. he asked me if i had specific cases of child abuse from bklyn.

i had to tell him i don't personally know of any.therefore if anyone on this board knows about any wts pedophile cases from bklyn ny, please either call the bklyn da at 718-250-2340 or you can e-mail me at [email protected].

they did at least seem interested in this situation but it seems like it will take actual cases to convince them that something should be done.
