I've been a tad more crafty, 'you ought be prepared on the Ministry, as there's a MASSIVE story on child abuse within the Society just broken in USA...' then fill them in with details. My figuring is THIS way I'm conveying the information in a way they will need to listen. Psychology.

Anyone Besides Me Have Difficulty Saying The Word "Jehovah"?
by Low-Key Lysmith ineven when i was a devout witless, i always winced a bit when i heard or especially had to utter "jehovah".
it's just one of those uncomfortable words to say like "colostomy", "vagina", or "erectile dysfunction"..

Yes, I always found it uncomfortable (even as a JW) as it seemed just wrong, disrespectful. Frankly I'd cringe at the almost continual use of the 'name' by JWs, slipping it in, totally unnecessarily... JW Tourettes, lol.

Was this their finest hour?
by Nambo innow regarding the candace conti case, where the org will be put under pressure to change their policies, will they obey caeser in this case rather than god?, .
my point not being to do with the rights or wrongs of current jw policy, but in the view that they obviously belive their current policy is from god himself, will they therefore stick with "jehovahs" percieved will or will they disobey god (from thier point of view, not mine),and compromise and "commit fornication with the beast".. is it the same religion that wouldnt bow down to caeser even in the face of death back in the 1930s ?
time will tell?, or maybe money will be more of an incitement to "disobey god" than the lives of faithfull and stout brothers?

I find it all very odd really. This isn't the first time they've paid 'compensation' to a victim, and no one likes paying out time and time again, yet they've maintained the same policy. However, IF they change their policy in light of this case, it will appear that God has been wrong (As the policy is straight from the FDS - I know what I mean) and is now changing due to man's Laws. Difficult.

Candace Conti - Preparing For The Appeal
by Joe Grundy inno doubt, wtbts ny will appeal this to the best of their ability, and they have almost unlimited financial resources behind them.. i wish i was in a position to fund candace through the appeal, but i'm not, nor i am cognisant with california law or the general fedaral law in us.. but i was a police officer in the uk for 30 years, 10 of that as a commander of a fraud squad, member of the national working group on fraud, europol, etc.
i did spend some time in the us working with fbi on a joint case.. my point is this.
i've read through some of the court papers including depositions and the one that stuck in my mind was the dep taken from the witness who worked in bethel and was asked about 'collated data' re child abusers.

And here is a genuine offer (I don't make less than genuine ones): I'd be happy to travel to CA and assist Candace's team (my expense) if it would help.
Blimey Joe - a fabulous offer! (Curious - are you Welsh?)

Letter from elders to WT about Jonathan Kendrick and the WT response
by wolfman85 in.
i don't know if these letters were posted here before , so i'm sorry if is something that all of you have seen already..

The WT's response (paragraph 2) suggests that Kendrick should only be deleted as an MS BECAUSE the incident was known outside the family. So, are we to believe that, if the 'incident' was contained, then he would have kept his position in the Congregation?

Jehovah, the God of Parking Lots
by 00DAD inthis idea was brought up on another thread today, but i thought this particular angle deserved it's own thread.
have you ever noticed that jws that have completely swallowed the kool-aid are really whacked in their thinking when it comes to interpreting life's events.
bb, "because i got the parking place and they didn't.

Only just been directed to this thread... I'm sure everyone can relate to this one - you have a JW over for lunch (or tea or dinner), and when you dish up, have to wait for them to say a (silent) prayer before eating. And while they're praying you're thinking to yourself ; 'hang on, it was ME who spent a fortune in Sainsburys - jostling the crowds and queueing at checkout. Then spent all afternoon slaving over a hot oven, and YOU'RE thanking GOD for the food? Hello?' Cripes, even when we ex-JWs do all the work, God STILL gets the credit..! Lol
