May 28--Four years since Dateline's JW sex abuse program aired. Results?
by AndersonsInfo insunday, may 28, 2006, is the fourth anniversary from when a threshold was crossed into uncharted waters.
on may 28, 2002, the u.s. television news program, dateline, publicized to millions of viewers the facts about watchtower's deceitful child abuse policies which protect pedophiles who target and molest jws' vulnerable children.
subsequently, this subject caught the interest of media throughout the world who, through careful investigation, substantiated the allegations made on dateline.

Some people followed Jehovah's Organization, and God killed 'em
by AlmostAtheist ingina and i were batting around how the organization calls itself "god's channel" out of one side of their mouth and then reminds everyone that they are "imperfect men" out of the other.
this allows them to claim a position of authority as "god's organization" while at the same time allowing them to make mistakes and get away with it.
(1975, "generation", all the flavors of blood, etc).

American Lawyers: Help on DF case!
by Narkissos inin a current european case, the wt lawyers refer to a judgment by the court of appeal of new jersey (nyc congregation of jws vs. mrs janice paul, # 819f.2d875, june 10, 1987) about the supposedly non-discriminatory character of the wt disfellowshipping arrangement and the related (shunning) instructions to its members.
according to them, in this case an exjw sued the congregation for slander, breach of private life, fraud and insult as a consequence of her disfellowshipment.
the court decided that the shunning of a disfellowshipped person was protected by the first amendment of the us constitution guaranteeing freedom of worship.

Should the WTS be paying minimum wage & taxes for full-time volunteers?
by Deleted inhey y'all.
the thread (via free minds) on "the real truth facing aging witnesses" has me back on one of my old topics.
namely, that full-time sales people, administrative and factory workers of a religious publishing company must be provided for when they retire - and i believe they should be paid minimum wage to boot!

by loveis in.....(as well as on the wisconsin supreme court one.
stung by 2 high court defeats just 2 days apart, marci fights back, showing where she believes the justices erred and what the state legislature now needs to do in each case.
the question for the new hampshire supreme court was whether the elders had a duty of care toward the girl.

Barbara's CD, the Three Year Rule & Pedophile Brothers. My comments.
by Seeker4 inok, i had initially intended on commenting on two things in barbara's commentary in another thread, that combined, make for an interesting scenario for jw pedophiles - then i was distracted by a question from purps, and decided i'd use this comment to start a new thread.
that is a hell of an avatar pic, by the way, purp.
if you're half as cute as that smile you're wearing, you must be quiet a heartbreaker!
