The ruling on the Boer v WT case in Canada could set a precedent if the courts in US follow a similar line of reasoning.
PS how the hell do I just add to a post instead of putting a new one up when I think of something else?

Supreme Court Ruling Thursday on Grounds of Privacy
by ninecharger inthursday, the supreme court overturned the ruling in the 1986 georgia case bowers v hardwick.
in essence the court said that anti-sodomy laws are unconstitutional as they invade the citizen's right to sexual privacy.

The secret elders book is called "Shepherding the Flock" or something like that. Go to www.watchthetower.com for a link to where it has been posted.
I personally know of cases where elders have spied at all hours of the day and night on people they want to nail.

It is one thing to say this covers the intrusion on a citizen's right - but that right to privacy is a citizen's right whoever is seeking to invade it whether the US Government or the WBTS.

Two witnesses to the the same kind of sin?
So why has Silentlambs come to exist? Nearly everyone on this site is smart enough to work out what is going on.

I think the secret elders book is posted on 'Jehovah's Witnessesquotes.com' A more seasoned member of this site could point you to where it is posted. The two witness rule seems to be more and more only invoked in cases of child abuse.
One guy sees you smoke (in July) One guy sees you smoke (in September) BANG Disfellowshipped.
One little girl says "I was raped" (in July) One little boy says "I was raped" (in September) Nothing happens. The elders now need two witnesses to each event.
Parents go to police. BANG disfellowshipped - They are slanderers. See Silentlambs web sight.

Do You Feel That Your Parents "Did a Good Job" Raising You?
by minimus inbeing raised a witness, my mother has asked me whether or not i held her responsible for her bringing me up in the way that she has.
i feel that my upbringing is something my mother can be proud about.
even though i do not believe in the "truth", i do feel that she did a good job of raising us.

I don't think that any parent deliberately does a bad job raising their kids.
Good parenting skills and bad are learned at the breast. If your parents did not love you, you would have died as a baby. Everyone does the best with what they are given.
Unfortunately WT gives a lot that damages otherwise good parental instinct - mussnt touch it demons watch your naughty bits etc.,
Before he died my father said the only people in this world he really loved were me my brother and my mom. He got married to hide he was gay, and then abandoned us, to go off and have his fun.
Of course this begs the question about the Big Daddy in the sky. He seems to be very good at killing people to solve problems.
A WT once said even if you were raped or abused that was nothing compared to an eternity of not being raped and abused in the new world.
Just ranting...

New Releases - What is there left to write about?
by truthseeker inhi everyone, and thanks to all for your comments in my recent posts.
i can't always get round to logging on, but do appreciate your feedback.. now for a question - what is there left to write about?

The WT thinks the internet IS porn and would close it down.
I think the main reason that the bethel boys have to share rooms is to prevent masturbation. Otherwise those buildings would have collapsed long ago from all that frantic swaying every night...

"Reinstatement Party" Called Off Per The Society
by minimus ina number of weeks ago, i mentioned how my niece was seeking reinstatement.
well, after all was said and done, the elders allowed her back in.
my brother and his wife were giving her a little "coming back" party with about a total of 35 guests.

A practising JW is free to express an opinion, but only that approved by the WT.
"If I want your opinion then I'll give it you."
Euphemism, really!

Euphemism - you are right, that is why I think they will waste money on court cases instead of spending it on something more worthwhile. There are bound to be people who sue because elders sat outside their house at 3 in the morning.
Further to this, if a single man has a dog could the elders decide to disfellowship on the grounds of bestiality?
Strange how a father raping his daughter when home alone is not recognised as a possibility even in the face of concrete evidence.

At present, the secret elders book says that if the elders know a man stayed overnight in the home of a homosexual, he can be disfellowshipped. (Whether they can prove sex took place is not relevant.) Or if a man and woman stay overnight in the same house in "incriminating circumstances" the elders can decide to disfellowship, even in the absence of concrete evidence.
My question: will they remove this policy from the elders book to protect themselves from legal action arising from the new ruling, or will they waste millions of dollars defending their right to pass judgment on their flock without interference from the state?
Details can be found on CNN.
I think they will take the latter course.
