can't see this having been mentioned already - forgive me if i missed it and it is old news.. velicia alston brings lawsuit against watchtower (irwin zalkin representing):.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=8nmgrvlmvxo.
It's not that old really. Consider how many cases we may not know about. Anyway, the information is important to all of us. I might not have found this had you not posted it.
Interesting the way the society is trying to banish this case to anther jurisdiction. I hope that the change of venue for the hearing that WT were trying to achieve, failed.
self-praise is no praise, brooklyn!
however, having skimmed over this latest offering - which was neither researched nor written by the f.d.s., according to geoffrey jackson's sworn testimony in oz - here is my favourite statement: .
p. 26 par.
Anyone checked out the "new favourite neutral expert?" The WTBTS cites Jason David Be'Duhn, as the expert in all things translation and bible.
They cite him this Dr BeDuhn, as a bible scholar. Go and type in his name, then look at the refutations to his claims and credentials.
He's all WTBTS pro.......they cite him as a reference of a good example of non bias.
you know the organization is slowly going down.
not as fast as we would wish, but nevertheless it is crumbling.
five (5) year old child baptisms, smaller magazines, child sexual abuse exposed, smaller annual growth, no one wants to reach out, young ones leaving.
2014 for the beginning of Christ's reign; because the watchtower forgot to 'carry the 1'
Ha ha ha ha ha ha.........love this sort of humour. It's as droll as it gets.
You are definitely going to get roasted at the big A......

The studies I have had with the elder and his wife.....( RC have encouraged me to cease allowing these visits due to the anxiety I have felt for being two faced)..... have cast off the Revelation book as no longer accurate, so many other books are not remotely referred to. So they are completely distancing themselves from as many of their past writings as is possible.
I know I have said this already, but it's been said to me by those who are very much in, that the large assemblies are cancelled here in Australia. At least in the West. When I asked why this was so, I was told that it was due to lack of funds. It is apparently too expensive to rent the venues that have always been a part of the yearly large conventions. (again, all this information was said to me before my official RC part)
This is so interesting as all my life, whether I was attending or not, there have always been very large conventions here. Now, they are being done at the WT owned facility, a place that is really hard to get to. It's incredibly difficult for families with children and older people. Plus, I think that if any new interested ones were left to find their own way there,..it would be completely off putting......unless there is some serious conversion thingy happening.....

Oh, FayeDunaway, I should read your story. Sorry that I have not. I didn't know you have been cut off from your' family. This sort of simple comment makes me ache inside.
Therefore I hope the Watchtower implodes. You should have the freedom to have your' family. I lost mine from a long time ago. Not all of them, but in the main I can say with total honesty that never in my life, have I been invited by my JW madly devoted sister to have one single meal with them. Even when I was close to baptism.
Some are harder than others. Mostly though, they have an entrenched feeling they are breaking the GB law by having non witnesses in their homes.....
i think you people would like to know that since the public hearing has finished.
there has been ongoing contact made to me by the staff at the rc.
they have been inundated with calls and the same experiences or similar ones are being related.. the staff are not backwards in coming forwards with insights that they have shared.
found this on my facebook page that someone had posted , just a joke i hope .
.
That's just some joke, really. The Arms. are the ones hanging off the shoulders

i am still attending the kh, i actually recently became aware of the ttatt, what i believed came as a huge surprised for me, i wasn't raised as a jw and have been for about 15 years.
i have always been a very open minded individual all my life always seeing both sides of any situation with logic and common sense and so i believe discovering all of the doctrines i have been taught sense 16 years of age, wasn't extremely hard for me to realize in my heart it was a lie.
well it was me discovering the watchtower society being a ngo member of the un nations for 10 years, after that the snowball just got bigger for me.
wing commander. I see you feel rather strongly about this and other experiences.
I don't think you would do this, but I do get the "gist" of your feelings.........(.a touch of irony)
Therefore I can't slap a red sign against you......I really hope you are just expressing a verbal reaction though....ha!

The staff are not backwards in coming forwards with insights that they have shared. For example, some of the people who have called in are suddenly getting these "Shepherding Calls". Quite a few actually, so I was told. Many of these people are a bit intimidated or wondering what to do. They are given advice and follow up calls to make sure they are handling things okay.
This advice includes their legal right, there rights as individuals, the right not to feel in some way intimidated by this sudden interest in their waning faith. Not once have I been cast off or left wondering what was going on behind the scenes. The lines are constantly busy in the aftermath of this particular RC.
I have complete trust since these follow up's are not a one off thing. People are asking for help and getting it......
