  Those in a position to call Brooklyn

  the allegations of sexual abuse against at least one child and subsequent attempts to cover over the crime made against theodore jarcacz are extremely serious.

  they have of course, yet to be proved one way or the other and theo jaracz has the right of proper representation both outside and within the walls of the wt, and should be allowed to defend himself against these accusations.

  many persons who have in the past been accused of 'gross sins' become victim of an investigation by elders.

  Yes, I have heard at least 3 or 4 people on this Board say they saw it on CNN also. One person even said they thought they saw Bill Bowen at the March on CNN.

  It is possible that it was on CNN and we could have missed it.

  When the story about the JWs being beheaded in the Phillipines was first reported I saw it on CNN one morning but I never saw or heard about that story ever again on National TV.

  Anyone else see that story on CNN????

  Would The SOCIETY EVER Give up CONTROL?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  someone recently suggested that if the society let the elders in the congregations strictly handle disfellowshipping and other matters, that this could free the watchtower from additional legal problems.do you think they would ever again give up such control?

  Speaking of control....

  Here is an excerpt from The watchtower of September 1st 2001 Page 14 paragraph one:

  Control is a distasteful word to many, since it brings to mind images of coercion and manipulation.

  Then it asks two questions.... Are we not free moral agents? Why should we let anything or anyone control in our hearts?
