  Interesting conversation re: sexual abuse issue

  by Doubting Bro in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i may be outing myself so i'm changing some minor detail but i wanted to relate a recent conversation over the sexual abuse issue.

  i was at a party, er, gathering this weekend and there were several folks that i haven't talked to in awhile there.

  so, i sat down at a table with several other guys and the conversation went like this:.

  Kinda reads like a drama from the convention. A little too perfect for my radar for what its worth.

  Watchtower's Billion Dollars of Property Cannot Be Sold until Outcome of Conti Appeal

  by Dogpatch in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  30 minutes ago i just got off the phone with some important players in this case, and some things were relayed to me concerning a lot of details of the outcome of the last two days of court.

  i am passing this on.

  cynthia hampton, one of the main players in the candace conti case (and a close friend of 28 years), just informed me of a further, far more powerful move by the state of california against the watch tower bible and tract society of new york, inc.. by order of the superior court of the state of california - county of alameda (see documents below), until the watch tower's appeal, which won't begin until august 13th and will take up to two years to settle due to due process of law, has forbidden the watch tower to sell any more of its $1 billion in assets in the borough of brooklyn until the appeals case is finished, to assure they won't shelter their monies in the light of this most huge and devastating sexual abuse scandal ever to hit the watch tower society, and perhaps any other single-victim lawsuit.

  i've uploaded a video that discusses the dramatic jury verdict regarding the abuse suffered by candace conti, of which you are all aware.

  if you're not yet familiar with the story for any reason, please check out my blog article on the link below.... http://jwsurvey.org/general-information/the-watchtower-punished-society-loses-legal-battle-over-child-abuse-case.

  john hoyle suggested i get a youtube video out fairly quickly so that we can spread the message more effectively online.

  Such a soothing narration. Well done. I wish I had your editing program. What is it? How do you get the slides to zoom in and out and such? Thanks for the video it will open the eyes of many.

  Did You Watch The Waltons?

  2. entertainment

  if so, did you enjoy the show?.

  i loved it.

  missed quite a few episodes due to attending kh meetings, but i'm making up for that.. the show reminds me so of growing up in a large family, having to share everything, and looking out for each other..

  I guess I'm the exception to the rule. I abhorred the show. It was beyond boring and the people were less than attractive. The country hokum made me gag and it only irritated me to hear the narrator yaking all the time. Sorry kids but the show was on way too long and who cared? I guess you guys, I didn't. Ugh.

  He was my hero. I read it all..... Even the stuff not in his own name. Wish I had met him. I had heard he responded to fan mail personally. Night Ray. All the good guys are named Ray.

  You & Your Family Will Be Harmed If You Dont Obey The FDS 8/15/12 WT

  by yourmomma in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  here is a quote from the 8/15/12 watchtower study simplified edition that just was posted on jw.org.. on page 13 paragraph 12 it says "those who ignore the warnings from the faithful and discreet slave will harm themselves and those they love.".

  also, another doozy is earlier on paragraph it likens those who have not read social networking articles from the faithful slave before using, "is like taking a powerful medicine without first reading the warning on the bottle.".

  im not even done reading this whole magazine yet, but i thought i'd share these insane comments.

  If we don't follow a "nonexistant religious concept" it could lead to personal harm? The nerve. (They admitted it in court, remember?)

  Validation - a basic human need?

  by Fernando in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a friend taught me that this is a very important part of interacting with others.

  in her sales activities for example she makes it a point to listen carefully, indicate where she understands and agrees, make notes, and openly staple the person's business card to her notes.. should we be seeking to validate others in our lives and on jwn as having an inalienable right to exist, have an opinion even if different from ours, and to freely express that opinion, and to be heard, and to be understood?.

  i'd love to read your thoughts and opinions, especially if you are a member of the seemingly large and usually silent audience on jwn..

  If you don't get validated you could get a ticket.

  It was only last year we had that quoted. I've searched in vain. I thought I'd bookmarked it but guess not. I have two friends studying and this would put the nail in the coffin I think. Remember how it said that if you do not "accept the full scope of revealed truth" you could be expelled? This is my paraphrase. Can someone help a guy out here? THanks to all in advance.
