IM: OMG! The new light is that JW families must make pilgrimage to Bethel at least once in their life. Yes, Bethel is now the JWs' Mecca!

Well then I'm good. I went there in 1980s.

Now I'm going to Disneyland! At least the people that run that place know it's all fantasy!

Ann, thanks for your clarification on the "Service Committee," "Service Department" question.

You cited this: "... said defendant has a duty to designate as the deponent the Officer, Director, Managing Agents, Employees, or Agents most
qualified to testify on its behalf as to the following matters ..."

Do you know, did the WTBTS every comply with this?

GustvC: The abusers issue is of no consequence.

Would you say that to someone that had actually been abused?

We look forward to your report!

I'm predicting a total non-event: Satan isn't Gog of Magog after all. That being said, we need lots of $$$ for "Kingdom Expansion."

Ann, the Service Committee supervises the Service Department

How do you know this?

Have you seen an organizational chart or something? I'm not trying to be difficult, but even after being a JW for 30+ years, I have no clear understanding or knowledge of their organizational structure.

Your statement seems reasonable enough, but is it true. Losch's response seems to be a very carefully worded--albeit deliberately deceptive--truth rather than an outright lie. It would be interesting to know which it is.

I am convinced they are deliberately vague and obtuse. The segregation of responsibilities and the layers and shell groups indicate a very thoughtful and deliberate course of action to do just what they are doing now: play the legal game of, "That was not my responsibility."

Let's review: It's a cult!
