Candace Conti: WTS Fails to Timely File Opening Appellate Brief (page 2)

Julia Orwell

Hey thanks for the info! Not sending it to the elders though because I want to leave quietly now I've had a preview of how they'll turn on me from my mini-inquisition, but I'll keep up with the case so I can show my husband when the WTS gets their butts sued off.

Maybe it was filed invisibly?

Once you have shown the elder that Candace Conti is a real person and that the Soc has been found criminally and maliciously guilty, perhaps direct him to these WT guidelines.

Good News Bible:

1Ti 3:1 This is a true saying: If a man is eager to be a church leader, he desires an excellent work.

1Ti 3:7 He should be a man who is respected by the people outside the church, so that he will not be disgraced and fall into the Devil's trap.

*** w10 6/15 p. 13 par. 13 Keep Building Up the Congregation ***

The first-century Corinthian congregation faced the situation of a man who unrepentantly practiced fornication. His conduct threatened the purity of the congregation and was a scandal even among nonbelievers. Hence, Paul rightly directed that the man be removed from the congregation

*** w76 12/1 p. 734 pars. 18-19 Giving Reproof “Before All Onlookers” ***

Undoubtedly most cases where congregation members fall into wrongdoing can be handled in a private way by the congregation shepherds. But if they have reason to believe that others may be tempted into the same kind of sin they should devote time in their meetings to reproof of that kind of wrongdoing. If a matter is of public knowledge or involves scandal, they should most certainly do so.

19 If they feel that the circumstances demand it they could even name the person (though doing so apart from any talk on the subject), stating that they have reproved him. Where scandal is involved, this would enable the congregation members to defend the congregation against those who might accuse it of condoning wrongdoing

*** w76 12/1 p. 733 Giving Reproof “Before All Onlookers” ***

The commentary of Schaff-Lange says: “The nature of the case itself requires that ha·mar·ta′non·tas should be specially understood of grosser crimes; indeed, of those which justly cause scandal.” Henry’s Bible Commentary observes: “Public, scandalous sinners must be rebuked publicly; as their sin has been public, and committed before many, or at least come to the hearing of all, so their reproof must be public, and before all.”

I wonder if they will measure out to themselves the same condemnation and punishment as they measure out to others?

Bad form for the "Great Timekeeper's" organization. The appeal will be dismissed unless the opening brief is filed on or before March 26th.

MARCH 26th! Memorial night, how fitting.

You gotta be kidding me!
