  Suppose someone tells you he committed a murder. Does that in fact mean he really did kill someone? People may imagine they killed someone. Suppose you inform the authorities that a person confessed to a murder. Later the person says he didn't and then accuses you of slander?

  No it does not mean he actually commited a murder but the circumstances, etc should help a mature person make a mature decision. Reporting such a confession to elders COULD get you in trouble if the individual denies what he told you - however with the Police - any honest approach will not give grounds for the individual to allege slander.

  You appear hurt that so many take this direction from the WT as an indication that they put the image of the Organisation first, above all else. This does amaze me

  Once again this forum remains true to form. With absolutely no knowledge of the circumstances they are willing to pass a verdict.

  The Watchtower protects murderers!!

  The congregation is put at risk!!

  The content of the letter quoted is not challenged by anyone as far as I know ? Indeed for myself I have sufficient experience of these things to recognise completely the WT stamp on this document

  It is to my 100% satisfaction therefore the case that the WT protects murderer(s) - can't be certain of the plural but in this case what else are they doing - warning his "brothers", neighbours, the authorities - absolutely NOT! The congregation IS put at risk - if a fire hazard existed in a KH and the responsible elders knew and took no action then they are putting the congregation members at risk - if a confessed murdered is present in the cong and no one warns the brothers who is to blame if any harm results ?

  "Privilege" in terms of knowledge of anothers actions is a thin excuse for the WT to use here as they encourage blatant breaches of priviliged information across the medical and legal field and indeed any field they care to name.

  omg..........i am so nervous.... they only came cause 6 months ago, nodenial brought up a series of questions and the co asked if he could come back with the tattling brother (pm me if ya want to know about the tattling brother).

  i came down about 5 minutes after primping........just got outta the shower, and got ready...almost came down "braless"...but my modesty wouldn't allow me (lol).

  i looked at the co and said: you know the last time you visited, nobody ever introduced you to me......i knew you were the co but that's it"..(i said that because i wanted them to know i felt invisible).

  Why? Europe is the best thing that ever happened to the South West as more priority 1 money than anywhere else in the UK.

  As UK is a NET CONTRIBUTOR to the EU the end result is you are still getting less than you would have if all the EU Money (our money really) stayed in the UK and was not being used across the continent of Europe to enrich French Farmers and now all the new accession states

  recently, i visited an area known for its 'healthy' congregations.

  i spoke with an experienced elder about conditions.

  he spoke glowingly about pioneers and not having enough kingdom halls.

  As the saying goes round these parts

  "where the money is there the Circuit Overseer will be found" -yes call for brothers to lead a "simple life" but stay at the best homes and holiday with the well off...

  Agree with most of what has been said - sad to have wasted best years of life (and earning potential) in faithful service - sad to have damaged my childrens lives by putting them through all the hoops and man made rules - so sad we cannot go back and reclaim our lost time but time moves one way only - every day I feel more bitterness and determination to have a part in exposing the sham of the WT - yes we did have some good times and some fun along the way but overall the scales weigh heavily on the emotional trauma/ emotional blackmail etc which weighed us down so much..

  Jonsson has the gaul

  Scholar - I seem to recall that Gaul was the home of Asterix.......... think you mean GALL

  Can I ask what relevance your degree has to this argument - are you assuming some of us are ignorant , poorly educated people who should doff our caps at the "toffs" from University.
