Upcoming Trial in Child Abuse Cases
by Amazing insome have asked me if i plan on being at the upcoming child abuse trials in california ... i have heard second hand they are tentatively scheduled for around april 2007. i will try and get this time frame confirmed, as it has been over 7-years since this issue commenced on ex-jw forums.
yes, i will be at those trials in which i am called as a "fact" witness, or as a type of "expert" witness.
i have not been told exactly when i will be called, or for how much testimony, but i have a general idea based on my previous depositions and preservation testimony.. i will keep you all posted as events develop.. jim whitney.

Society unsure about Adam's Sexual Orientation
by Amazing inyes, folks, the all-wise, all-knowing, all-seeing watchtower society peers into and explores all possibilities of thought and logic.
yes, right back to our beginnings they look at how adam needed to determine who would serve as his companion ... and where did he search?.
"before god created anything new, a woman, god left the man free to determine whether there was a suitable companion for him among all the lower animals.

JW view of Worship is the problem
by Amazing inin some private discussions with ex-jws over the years, i have boiled down some of the disagreements to a different view of what worship is or is not.
this view often unwittingly affects ex-jws, and underpins their arguments, even though they do not realize it.. to a jw, worship of jehovah is done by going out door-to-door, attending meetings, commenting, singing, and prayer.
these are acts only done to and for jehovah.. to a protestant, going door-to-door is nice, vene being at church is nice, but not worship.

Another Deposition with Watchtower Attorneys
by Amazing inwell folks, ever since the end of 1999, when the issue of child abuse among jws was raised, things seemed to have moved slowly ... at least too slowly for those who need and want to see justice done for the vctims.
in 2000, bill bowen, who was teaming up with those of us already working on the topic, finally emerged in public to start silentlambs, and brought in nbc dateline, etc.
for much welcome attention.

I'm one of the EVIL SLAVE
by Amazing inbasd on my comment to another post titled "1979," i thought that this would make an interesting separate topic.. a little history: many here are aware that i was an ms and then elder and of the anointed while a jw.
i openly professed anointing for 20-years of the 27-years i was associated with the watchtower.
since that time, i have totally and completely renounced all but one watchtower doctrine.

Christmas is Christian
by Amazing infalse reasoning: the wts claims that there are only two birthdays mentioned in the bible, both of which resulted in someone being killed.
thus, they conclude, that this is jehovah's way of telling us that we should not celebrate brithdays, including the birth of jesus christ.. fact: there are five birthdays mentioned in the bible.
the most important and celebrated is the birth of jesus christ himself.

Transgender - A Case of Tested Friendship
by Amazing infriendship comes in all stages, shapes, and sizes, from the very close, as brothers, built over a lifetime, to the budding kind that has only a few months or a year or two.
i have been friends with sam (fictious name) for about seven years.
we are not real close friends, but have a good quality relationship that is mostly confined to the office.. recently, sam told me that he had an issue with a female agent who tried to get him fired.

3 Salvation Concepts
by Amazing inif salvation could be compared to trying to get from los angeles to santa catalina island (about 20 miles out in the pacific) and you could not take a plane, helicopter, or take a boat, but you could only try to jump or swim, then salvation might look like this:.
the typical protestant view of salvation: no matter how strong you are, or how well you can make the long jumps, no one can jump 20 miles.
jesus died and made the jump for you so that you do not have to jump in the first place.
