    It’s now official - The Governing Body Members are called for Legal Deposition in a Major Court Case Against Jehovah’s Witnesses!

    https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/1ke6cgh/its_now_official_the_governing_body_members_are/

    Recent court documents show that members of the Jehovah’s Witnesses Governing Body — including former member Tony Morris — have been officially subpoenaed to give sworn testimony regarding cases of sexual abuse in New York and how the organization dealt with (or essentially hid) them.

    This could be a turning point, as they may be forced to answer difficult questions about the organization. If they agree to testify, the recordings will be documented and could become publicly available. If they refuse to testify, they could be found guilty, face heavy financial penalties, and essentially confirm to the public that the organization did, in fact, cover up these cases of sexual abuse.

    The sources for these legal actions against the Governing Body have been made public and are available here:

    Love to see these, but most cases have been disappointing. Watchtower have become masters of stall, appeal, appeal and eventual sealed settlements. GB members are terrible on the witness stand and their attorneys know it.

    These are depositions, not the witness stand. These can be very long and open ended (and really boring). The problem for the WTBTS is everybody talks eventually, the problem for the prosecution is what the WTBTS attorneys will be able to seal or limit before it goes onto the witness stand (or public access). Basically the deposition is the long form version to discover what they will be able to ask you about on the witness stand, after depositions, both attorneys and the judge have to go through it and agree on what can be admitted, then the case still has to get resolved before it will become public.

    The problem for the ex-JW movement is that this won’t move the needle for true believers, even if you had video evidence of them admitting serious wrongdoing, at best you’ll get someone saying it’s fake and those are not the real leaders of the JW, at worst they’ll say it is theocratic warfare and they are permitted to lie because more than likely the witness stand is where the Witnesses will lie and commit perjury (that is where the depositions and witness stand testimony conflict), then you still have 2 versions of the story, one where they said something in a 36 hour long video recording, one where they said something on the stand and then the story will be ‘the persecutors of this world didn’t like the truth so convicted them of perjury’.

    Can you tell the Difference between Real vs Fake?

    The real one is where Anderson Cooper is lying. You really don’t need deepfakes to make a CNN host say stupid shit.

    Anony Mous, we are now living in a time when anyone can put together a "Face" of someone in power, like any member of the Governing Body, and make it seem like what he says is coming from the actual GB member.

    I had a PIMI elder tell me that his family don't watch the news anymore because it's all lies. He said that they get all their news from their website, jw.org, because that's how Jehovah is communicating with them.

    So I agree that the true believers will not believe anything anymore coming from any other place besides their own website. It's their last stand.

    It wouldn't surprise me if they finally put all the Governing body in prison, but the true believers would never believe it.

    Wasn’t Gerrit Lösch called to court before and he got out of it somehow?

    On the fake videos, from here on in I don’t think we can be sure any video is real or fake. It’s a problem. Nobody could reasonably deny Jackson at the Australian Royal Commision was real at the time, but if something like that were to happen again?

    Given all the other problems AI may cause, all the way up to extinction due to misalignment, it may be the least of our worries however.
