Losing their best--Getting rid of good elders
by VeniceIT inin january of this year, a prominent elder resigned because he was criticized for continuing to talk to an inactive couple, who had been very close friends.
this couple are being gossiped about, as being apostates, although no action has been taken, and no announcement.
he didn't like the scrutiny on himself and his wife, and thought they were wrong to talk to him about this issue, so he resigned.

Seattle Times reporter calls about more victims
by Mulan inbruce baker, who led the press conference a week ago, in seattle, just called to tell me that the reporter who wrote the article for the seattle times, had called him to say there were 36 victims who replied to her after her article came out.
they all have told her the information is correct, but that they are fearful of "coming out" because they are still active jw's, and are in fear of being df'd.
she is planning an in-depth article in the times to correspond with the march on september 27.. stay tuned.

Church/State "Caesar's laws" & WTS
by Cappuccino OC infact - the wts has their own judicial committees.
who gave them the authority to have their own trials just like a government court system?
if the the government can't mix with the chuch (in certain countries), why can it be the other way around?
