with many more cases in the offing the zalkin lawfirm will press the issue again and again and force gerrit loesch to testify.
what say you?.
.
All that being said, why did Zalkin only subpeona Gerrit Douche? Why not the president of the WTBTS of NY, Leon Weaver Jr.? Or the president of the WTBTS of Pennsylvania, Don Adams?
It'd be nice to get any of these guys on the stand and nail them down as to WHO exactly determines WT policies and practices.

AnnOMaly: The Service Committee supervises the Service Department.
It would be interesting to know the exact relationship is, according to the WTBTS, between the SERVICE COMMITTE and the SERVICE DEPARTMENT.
That being said, Lösch 's declaration (drafted by an attorney at WT legal no doubt) is designed to obfuscate and avoid responsibility.
He admits to being in the GB, the "highest ecclesiastical authority for the faith of Jehovah's Witnesses," but denies any responsibility because, "Hey, it's not my job man!"
What douche. That's it: Gerrit Douche!
i posted here a week ago some disturbing news for congregations being consolidated in britain.
my goodness that was nothing !
a letter was read today from bethel addressed to all congregations in britain that can only be described as the biggest news for years.the main points:.
Raymond, thanks for responding.
I read the letter. I just think it's good for the doubting lurkers to see scans of actual WT letters on WT letterhead. Most still won't believe it, but some will.

Mike and Kim, Do you have more than just the first page of the Declaration?
Can you please quote in a post the specific comments that you think are relevant and then upload the supporting pages?
Thanks,
Oubliette
one of two things will happen.
i'll get disfellowshipped and never have to worry about being "told on" again for living a normal life, or; they won't do anything.. either way, it's freeing and i feel relieved... it will be sad if i get disfellowshipped but i've come to terms and made peace with it as much as can be expected.
it's a huge weight to have off.. was told on a week ago and haven't heard anything.
Cognac, so your hubby turned you in to the elders. Nothing says "CULT" like ratting on a family member.
if you don't know, km's are now online too.
under the heading, "i cannot find him at home again!
" it mentions how a text message or email is to be counted as a return visit.
I'm waiting for the KM that says, "Just thinking about an RV counts as one!"
thought you all might enjoy this, i sure did!
hugs, .
rcat.
WMF, I just got here too, so not to worry.
The advice in the OP was good then, it's still good now.
the biggest sell off of kingdom halls in britain.
hi guys last night i posted this here but only a few notes as it was quite fresh and only announced lasdt night at the meeting.i have now updated article and included a couple of useful links about this matter .

raymond frantz, on another thread of yours I commented:
I'm curious about the full-time nature of the "construction servants" that will be involved with this. Do they not have outside sources of income? Who is supporting them? All of this seems to be increasing the control of the branches and by extention the GB. This would correspondingly increase their liablity in any legal issues.
It defies logic. I get the need for money and I understand they're control freaks, but they should be doing things to distance themselves from the "authority" of the local elders to further insulate their liability, especially concerning the endemic problem with pediphiles in the ranks.
We're missing something ....

Flipper: I'd say about 95 % or more of JW's are not even aware of these child abuse lawsuits happening within their organization
I would have to agree with Flipper's informal assessment. The WT's indoctrination to avoid anything negative of their precious little cult is very effective.
