Dear Keyboard22,
WELCOME to the forum,
Thank you lady liberty. No-one can even imagine how anyone could abuse an 18 months innocent baby, it so vile even to think about. The sentence is also not just for all involved. I have children myself, The offender must be laughing down his sleeve at the sentence. I do hope there is a review and common sense and decency will prevail for all those involved and the families who suffer along with them.

Silentlambs ALERT! *A cry for help to all men of conscience in the organization of Jehovah’s Witnesses The recent court rulings in NAPA California have given authorities the right to access congregation judicial files that contain any information that provides evidence of the crime of child abuse. Yesterday silentlambs received a report from California. A Jehovah’s Witness on the internet revealed that “the elders in their family were very angry as they believed their religious rights were being taken away.” They also went on to reveal “the elders were destroying the records in the NAPA Congregations” to stop the judicial system from accessing material that might further convict Jehovah’s Witness child molesters. This is something that silentlambs feels is a very real threat and possibly happening as we speak. The comment above suggests that elders in California are committing criminal acts to protect child molesters. It is defined as obstruction of justice to destroy evidence of criminal behavior. This is verified by the directives in the 1989 body of elder letter that states; “The legal consequences of a breach of confidentiality by the elders can be substantial. If the elders fail to follow the Society's direction carefully in handling confidential matters, such mistakes could result in successful litigation by those offended. Substantial monetary damages could be assessed against the elders or congregation. In some cases where the authorities are involved, certain complications could lead to a fine or imprisonment. These possibilities underscore the need for elders to be discerning and to follow carefully directions provided by the Society.” “At any time an elder is confronted with a search warrant (whether given advance notice or not) , the elder should first ask to read the warrant. After reading it he should ask if he can call for legal guidance and then call the Society's Legal Department. If for some reason the Legal Department cannot be contacted, the elders involved should make every effort to obtain the assistance of a local attorney for the purpose of protecting the confidentiality of the records. It may be impossible to stop determined officers from conducting the search authorized by the warrant. Conscientious elders will want to do all they reasonably and peaceably can to preserve the confidentiality of the congregation in harmony with the principle set out in Acts 5:29. “ “Subpoenas may be issued by a court or in some cases by a governmental agency or an attorney. If an elder receives a subpoena, he should contact the Society's Legal Department immediately. Never turn over records, notes, documents, or reveal any confidential matter sought by subpoena without receiving direction from the Legal Department.” You can read the letter in its entirety at this link, http://www.reexamine.org/BOE/1989-07-01.pdf As you will note from the above directives elders are advised to not cooperate with legal authorities but instead act at the direction of the Legal Department. What does the Legal Department advise? Note the comment made in a 01/01/01 letter to all Bodies of Elders in the United Kingdom when the government attempted to access judicial files; “Between March and August 2000 circuit overseers discussed with bodies of elders how to bring personal and congregation files in line with the Data Protection Act. By now you should have followed all the instructions contained in the "Checklist for Complying With the Data Protection Act”. This involved the destruction of most judicial records, minutes and agendas of elders' meetings that contained personal information, letters of introduction, correspondence relating to individuals, and so forth.” You can read this letter at this link, http://www.silentlambs.org/education/1101boe.cfm If the judicial files had of been retained it could have provided the written evidence for legal and criminal actions for authorities to act upon. This letter exploited a legal loop hole to prevent that from happening. The evidence shows that the Jehovah’s Witnesses Legal Department will go to any deception to protect the Watchtower Corporation and use local congregation elders to accomplish their dirty work. We greatly appreciate the help of certain courageous elders. For example, the murder letter was sent by one brave former elder, the 4-25-01boe media letter by another elder who wanted to help, the British body of elder letter cited above by another gutsy elder was moved let everyone know. These persons were moved to do something and it has been of great assistance. With the events unfolding above we need this assistance once again. This matter is not about our stand; it is about what is right. Victims have spilled their guts to make this known, men in high places that have sympathy for this issue need to assist. It will not change from within, if you want to make a difference you have to stand up for what is right. This is it, the time is now, if you think you need to wait on Jehovah, how do you not know this is an effort guided by Jehovah that will succeed? When Jehu looked up at the window and asked, "Who is with me?" Those men in "high places" had to make a choice. They had to either do what they knew in their hearts was right or they could have waited on Jehovah. Sometimes you have to grab evil and throw it out the window. While we claim no special dispensation, silentlambs stands before you now and says, "Who is with us?" You men in high places have a choice to make. Support misguided people or stand up for the children. We ask no one to leave Jehovah but instead, to do what you know is right. If you have the power to make a difference and you choose to wait, can you in good conscience do this knowing that a child might suffer due to "waiting on Jehovah?" If you can assist, email silentlambs, at [email protected] or Love and Norris at [email protected] lets talk, we will protect your confidentiality as we have done many times before, let's see if together we can do something meaningful to resolve this matter. We need any written letter or directive that might indicate the destruction of records as well as any verbal instruction from any Legal Department representative or authority in the organization. Regarding any type of verbal instructions, if this could be recorded or Tran scripted as to time, place and the names of all parties present, to provide evidence of obstruction of justice. We ask each man of conscience to think about what you do from this day forward, you can make a difference and help the needed changes come quickly to protect children. We have spoken from our heart now what does your heart move you to do? Will you help the silent lambs? We await your response. *(We ask that this alert letter be delivered to all congregations of Jehovah’s Witnesses in the United States)

Jehovah's Witnesses are now allowed to accept blood transfusions without facing excommunication from their faith.
Following a secret meeting of the following's 12 member global governing body at their New York headquarters, a change in practice was decreed and blood transfusion was officially downgraded to a "non-disfellowshipping event." Jehovah's Witnesses may now consent to and accept blood transfusions in life or death situations without facing expulsion from the movement. This is the biggest stepdown in policy made at the Watchtower (the collective name of the movement's headquarters) since their predicted Armageddon failed to occur in 1975. It is, however, being dismissed as a "slight adjustment" to the rules by senior representatives of the organisation.
Jehovah's Witnesses may now accept blood transfusions in emergencies (JANE HWANG/AP PHOTO) |
Until now, anyone who accepted blood or consented to transfusion for their child, even under life or death conditions, faced excommunication from the religion. In what is seen as a dramatic turnaround, elders announced the decision in the wake of some high profile cases where patients have died or come close to death as a result of their faith. One such case was that of Brent Bond from Nottingham in June this year. Mr Bond was the victim of a machete attack and lost 2.8 litres of blood from his wounds. He renounced his faith as a Jehovah's Witness seconds before passing out so that he could have a lifesaving blood transfusion. Beverley Matthews, a 33 year old mother from Stockport, died following her refusal of an emergency blood transfusion.
Paul Gillies, speaking for the British Jehovah's Witnesses headquarters in Mill Hill, north London, said, "It is quite possible that someone who was under pressure on an operating table would take a blood transfusion because they did not want to die. The next day they might say they regretted this decision. We would then give them spiritual comfort and help. No action would be taken against them. We would just view it as a moment of weakness." He stated that the principle of not taking blood was still a "core value" of the religion.
thanks take care

Hello guys,
Your temperatures are a breeze considering Britain's just now. Never know anything like it since 1908 hotter than Egypt hotter than the canaries, only trouble is we are not used to it here. One guy in Arizona here for the golf mentioned he came here to cool off lol but we are warmer here at this time. Britain is always like that dare I say with tongue in cheek.

Britain sweltered on the hottest July day for nearly a century as the current heatwave reached its peak.
The all-time record British temperature for the month was smashed when the mercury hit 36.3C (97.3F) at Charlwood in Surrey.
It consigned the previous long-standing record of 36C (96.8F) set at Epsom, Surrey, on July 22, 1911 to the history books.
Forecasters said the hot weather reached almost every corner of the country with temperatures of 35C (95F) recorded in Birmingham, Bedford and London.
Other hotspots included Crosby, near Liverpool (34.3C/93.7F), Anglesey in north Wales (33.6C/92.5F), Bristol (34.7C/94.5F) and Prestwick in Scotland which reached 31.3C (88.3F).
i am not doing too well at the moment with my uc and am practically housebound.
so i have decided to do something productive and finally read all the magazines the society have ever published.
i remember greg stafford claiming that he has read all the watchtowers and thinking that was a good idea to get a real overview of the witnesses' history and development of theology and ideology.
Hi
There it is going to take u years to get through all that and time consuming, but good luck to you.
