  Perhaps LIABILITY is the deciding factor as to who get to call 911. Are we in the clear? Yes Brother, call 911. Did this person slip and fall over someones bag, perhaps we can drive you home?...... just a thought

  2007 District Conventions

  by dozy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i've heard from 2 independent and impeccable sources "close to the gb" (i should have been a journalist!

  ) that the 2007 conventions are all to be held within a one month period.

  as stadiums are often booked up to five years in advance , this has caused consternation among district overseers and at least one stadium has charged the jws several thousands of pounds in a penalty clause to cancel and reschedule the booking.

  I'm sick of the witnesses bragging about their memorial attendance!!!

  by Highlander in

  2. friends

  i'm growing tired of the phone calls from witness relatives proclaiming how wonderful it was that we had 203 in attendance, or 180, or 265, or whatever the number happens to be.

  for whomever is calling.

  someone from my old, old congregation informed me they had 203 and this person was just giddy about it.

  Heaps of once a year attenders. How sad. Imagine wasting a perfectly good evening going to attend that! I wonder why they attend at all? If you can be "saved" by going to the memorial once a year, that might be one thing, but there is no salvation in JWdom at all.

  by architect in

  2. beliefs

  the lastest study article says in a nut shell that we should tell our new workmates/employer that we are a jw..for you folks who do not attend anymore or you've got out of the "theocratic routine" do you still make it know you are a jw?

  I do not say I AM a JW. To the dubs, we are inactive, materialistic, pleasure seeking. To those others that matter, I am happy to tell them we dont go anymore, and they always want to know why and I tell them heaps.

  Secret info from Page 143 of the ks book:
  This is page 143. Blank in the ks91 book but with carefully dictated paragraphs:
  
  k.s. p143 addendum
  Child Abuse. Ref Letters: A.B.E Aug 29th 1989 pg 3; LLA 10/10/2002; 28/8/02.
  Legal ramifications.
  In cases of either accusation or allegations of child abuse, immediately contact the society. Do Not talk to anyone else.
  If a brother or a sister confesses to child abuse, ask them not to speak to anyone else till you get back to them, and contact the society immediately.
  In contacting the society simply state “Matter involving Child Abuse” and the switchboard will put you through.
  *If interviewed by the police, tell them you are not prepared to make a statement until you have sought legal advice. Contact society immediately or a local barrister if necessary.
  *If presented with a search warrant or a subpoena, the last resort is to hand over any material. (Cong file) Find out exactly what is wanted and hand over only that. Preferably seek legal advice first. (stall)
  Read the warrant. Write on envelope “Ecclesiastical privilege claimed, not to be opened until matter is determined by court.
  
  *Expressions that are not to be used on S77 & S79 forms:
  6 expressions that should not be used on the S77 and S79 forms are:
  1) Anything eluding to or naming one of the societies lawyers.
  2) Any mention of the Legal Department.
  3) Any comments referring to direction from the society.
  4) Any comments mentioning anyone other than the committee itself as a possible influence in the decision reached.
  5) Any comment that might suggest to someone with a critical eye that the committee did not reach it’s decision on it’s own, but instead, somehow yielded to the influence of an outside party.
  6) Any comments indicating that the elders mishandled the case or committed and error in the investigation or the judicial process.
  • see also pages 122 and 101.
  
  Letter to A.B.A June 30, 1995.
  All material related to judicial matters should be kept in a safe place, accessible only to Elders. Final reports on handling of judicial matters should be kept in a sealed envelope in the congregation file.
  A Judicial Committee should avoid sending to an individual, any kind of correspondence that accuses him of specific wrongdoing. (note: k.s91 pp110-111)
  Nothing should be put in writing to any disfellowshipped person to advise him of his status or the reasons for it without specific direction from the society. The rules and procedures of Jehovah’s Witnesses do not require such written disclosures. Anything in writing submitted to a Judicial Committee should be kept in strict confidence. If a Judicial Committee disfellowships an individual, he should be informed orally of the action taken and of the right to appeal.
  If the wrongdoer refuses to attend the hearing, two members of the judicial Committee should attempt to contact the individual at his home and inform him orally of the decision. If this is not possible the two elders may be able to inform him by telephone.

  Hi, I wish you all the best with your meeting, appeals are a bit of a waste of your time, but it is also a waste of the original 3 and the appeal committees. They only want tom determine if the original committee erred in it's judgement and methodology.
  Ask heaps of questions, pull them back to origunal points. Ask why.....why.....why.... the three times asking why will help keep it on issue. Ask for the Bible reasons, not publications, read the context of all the scriptures they use, get them to read the context too.
  Good luck.

  David Kohler, you rock man. I hope that you read this forum and know that you are a legend. Thanks for getting this information out and for trying to make the GB of the WTS accountable, wven though we all know that they will never admit it ever.
