Hearing Set in Delaware Suit Against Jehovah's Witnesses Elders' Failure to Report Sex Abuse
by OrphanCrow inhearing set in delaware suit against jehovah's witnesses elders' failure to report sex abuse.
the judge is set to hear arguments in a civil lawsuit by the attorney general's claiming that elders of a jehovah's witnesses congregation failed to report an unlawful sexual relationship between a woman and a 14-year-old boy, both of whom were congregation members.. state law requires any person, agency, organization or entity who knows or in good faith suspects that a child is being abused or neglected to call a 24-hour hotline.
the law specifically states that the reporting requirements apply to health care workers and organizations, school employees, social workers, psychologists and law enforcement officials.. but a lawyer for the sussex county congregation is arguing that the elders are protected from the reporting requirements by clergy privilege, similar to the confidentiality of a church confessional.. .

"The Calendar of Jehovah God" - a historical tidbit
by OrphanCrow inin 1935, clayton woodworth (editor of the golden age - later the awake!
magazine) devised a 'new' calendar that he proposed was far superior to the pagan calendars that have been used in human history.he wrote a three part series for the golden age (i am not sure if these were actually published) that laid out his justifications for how this new calendar was more accurate and of course, was right in line with the divine plan.
the calendar was published in the 1935 yearbook, but the watchtower magazine later published a retraction to the calendar.

by OrphanCrow infor background on this case, which involves two jws, twin brothers:http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/282450/on-jw-org-drug-dealing-jehovahs-witnesses-on-trial-murder-spiritual-paradiseone of the twins has now been sentenced and the other is awaiting trial.manuel rodriguez after his first appearance on charges of first-degree premeditated murder at the the john e. polk correctional facility in seminole county, on tuesday, january 21, 2014.
(ricardo ramirez buxeda / orlando sentinel) (ricardo ramirez buxeda / orlando sentinel)a twin who shot and killed a man in broad daylight near a bustling altamonte springs road was sentenced to life in prison on wednesday while his brother awaits his own first-degree murder trial in the coming months.. after deliberating for almost two hours, a seminole county jury convicted 21-year-old manuel rodriguez jr. of first-degree murder and fleeing from police.. circuit court judge marlene alva gave rodriguez life in prison the mandatory sentence for using a gun in a premeditated killing.. prosecutors initially sought the death penalty against the fraternal twins involved in the jan. 20, 2014 shooting at state road 436, less than a half mile west of interstate 4.. but as the facts revealed themselves, it would have been difficult convincing a jury to send the young men,.
jehovah's witnesses with no violent criminal history, to death row, said assistant state attorney dominick leo, who prosecuted the case.. the brothers decided to kill 22-year-old tevin demetrius davis, but it wasn't an intricate plan crafted days in advance, criteria needed to support the death penalty, leo said.. the rodriguez twins were driving a gold chevy cobalt when they spotted davis walking with a friend along the altamonte springs road, a commercial stretch less than two miles west of the altamonte mall.. they recognized davis, who had previously robbed manuel, and made a u-turn to catch up with him.. christopher rodriguez got out of the car and said "this is what you get" while manuel rodriguez remained in the driver's seat, leo said.. "the way it went down ...they were driving down the street and saw that guy walking on the other side of the street," leo said.
