    Let's be honest.

    At this point, they're scraping the bottom of the barrel for pretty much everything. :smirk:

    "The victims be damned; we are the Watchtower Society and we are Gods mouthpiece. We will not change our policy!"

    That's pretty much what they told Irwin Zalkin.

    If they really do start having the victims sign something about it being ok to notify the police, I can almost guarantee they'll couch it in terms of, "Having you sign this is a legal requirement, but it's entirely up to you whether you want to insist on your rights and drag Jehovah's name through the mud. If you wish, you can just trust in Jehovah and leave it in his hands."

    spot on, also the complainant or the complainant, their parents/guardian if present at such a meeting should get a copy of any document read out, which must have the names/signatures of ALL present. The document must include a comment to the effect that NO congregation action will follow any using right to approach authorities.

    Verbatim, I'm sure.

    Somewhere in the bowels of WTHQ, there's a loyal JW secretly assigned to monitoring this forum, reading your post, and thinking, "damn, that's good"...
