harrisburg – after the commonwealth court of pennsylvania dismissed a petition from a group of jehovah’s witnesses nearly two years ago, which argued the confidentiality of their confessions shielded them from being mandatory reporters of child abuse, the supreme court of pennsylvania overruled their colleagues and decided the commonwealth court must re-examine the action.. in a 24-page memorandum opinion authored by state supreme court chief justice debra todd and handed down feb. 13, the court found that their commonwealth court contemporaries violated the coordinate jurisdiction rule – which states “judges of coordinate jurisdiction sitting in the same case should not overrule each other’s decisions” – by its initial pair of separate findings that ivy hill congregation of jehovah’s witnesses did not have proper standing against the commonwealth’s department of human services, and that a grant of declaratory relief would not terminate the legal controversy.. todd was joined in the opinion by supreme court of pennsylvania justices christine donohue, kevin m. dougherty, david n. wecht and sallie updyke mundy.

justices p. kevin brobson and daniel mccaffery did not participate in the consideration or decision of this matter.. “appellant is a congregation of approximately 140 individuals in philadelphia, pennsylvania, who follow the tenets of the jehovah’s witnesses religion.

Lines you would never hear from a Jehovah's Witness

by Ron.W. in

a slightly tongue in cheek, but also serious roundup of jw speak and why trying to reason with them is like trying to chip through concrete with a plastic spoon.. how many can you think of??.

elder: 'yes.

i read through the material you asked me to at your judicial meeting - you're right we're both in a cult!

A home remodeling job in England that went wildly wrong:

A builder who bludgeoned his client to death with a hammer in a row over her new extension has been jailed for at least 15 years for murder.

Peter Norgrove killed Sharon Gordon at her home on 20 July last year.

Her daughter Rhian Brown said Norgrove acted like a "wolf in sheep's clothing" after earning her trust at the church they attended in Dudley.

Wolverhampton Crown Court heard he led the Jehovah's Witness service the same night he killed Mrs Gordon.

He repeatedly lied to her about the work he was doing, which took 15 months instead of six weeks.

"He didn't have the experience to be doing the work he was doing," Miss Brown said.

"He took full payment for the extension in advance, which we believe to be more than £30,000."

Mrs Gordon fitted a video doorbell to her home to prove that Norgrove had been lying about the times he was claiming to carry out work.

"He drove my Mom mad with stress and anxiety - she noted everything down," said Miss Brown.

"She had notebooks, receipts, everything, because of how bad this man's workmanship was."

The court heard Norgrove became furious when quizzed by his client and hit her eight times in the head with a lump hammer.

"The level of violence was horrendous," Miss Brown said. "We couldn't believe what we were hearing.

"'What do you mean she's dead?' I thought.

"My son was saying 'where is my nanny?' He was due to sleep over there that weekend."

Norgrove, 43, of Bromford Road, Sedgley, claimed to police he had left the property the previous day, but bloodstained items were found in a wheelie bin at a family address and a lump hammer discovered in his mother-in-law's shed.

Miss Brown said her mother was introduced to Norgrove at the Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses in Dudley but after being recommended to her, it emerged he was a newly-qualified bricklayer.

"This man deceived a lot of people," she said.

"He had the security net of being of this faith and hid who he really was.

"It doesn't matter what community you are in, you can have bad individuals.

"I use the phrase 'a wolf in sheep's clothing' and that's exactly what he's been able to do."

Mrs Gordon's sister Hilary, who lives in Australia, said in a victim impact statement her death had left "darkness and an indescribable pain".

"It's affected our sense of family, and robbed us of our future," she added.

As the world com- memorated the 97th International Holocaust Remembrance Day (also known as World Holocaust Day or IHRD) yesterday, one of the groups targeted by the Nazi regime, Jehovah’s Witnesses, has said it should not be lost on the world that they were among the first to be sent to the Death Camp.

Accordingly, as conferences and exhibitions related to the 79th anniversary of the Auschwitz liberation take place around the world, Jehovah’s Witnesses have released a 32-page digital brochure titled: “Purple Triangles – “Forgotten Victims” of the Nazi Regime”. In a statement, the National Spokesman of the Witnesses in Nigeria, Mr. Olusegun Eroyemi said the group then referred to as Bible Students, suffered inhumane treatment at the Auschwitz- Birkenau Concentration Camp by the Nazi regime “solely on the basis of their religious convictions.

“During its nearly five years of operation, Auschwitz expanded to include a concentration camp, a forced-labor camp, and an extermination camp, as well as over 40 subcamps. Here, the Nazi regime carried out some of the most agonizing human rights abuses against millions of Jews, as well as Poles, Slavs, Roman and Sinti, homosexuals, and people with disabilities, among others. Some 400 Jehovah’s Witnesses of various nationalities, including Polish and German, were also among those victimized at the infamous camp. Four gas chambers claimed as many as 6,000 prisoners’ lives daily.

“A purple-triangle patch stitched near the prisoner number on the left side of uniforms identified Jehovah’s Witnesses who were imprisoned, not for their national or ethnic identity, but for their religious beliefs. “The Nazis offered them freedom if they would renounce their Christian faith and support the regime. Yet, they had the courage to stick to Chris- tian values—loyalty to God and love for others.”
