just called their media line:.
http://www.jw-media.org/contact.htm.
asked a young man named bryce where is the official press release on the cano pedophile situation.
Great job, LDH!
- Cano worked in the vehicle maintanance dep't at Wallkill
- Cano was assigned as an elder in the Newburg NY cong
- Cano has been removed as of Monday as an elder
- Cano is being held in Orange County jail
If you get a follow-up interview, it would be interesting to know where Cano came from and any information that would indicate he'd been moved from anywhere else by Society. Is the Society providing Cano with legal counsel? Or is he left to twist in the wind?
Fabulous coup, LDH!

an abusive priest accused of preying on children for decades.
It would be great if she could do a quick tie-in with Jesus Cano.
man the shredders!
they got warrants to investigate jose manuel cano!
Grumbling heard in the corridors of the Watchtower Society........
"I knew we should never have trusted a guy named Jesus!"
"So this was the special airport witnessing he was always talking about!"
well, i broke it to my super devout parents that after this i don't believe there is any reason why i should trust any 'brother' i don't know around my kids.. no way, no how!.
they had to admit this was pretty shocking and enlightening but they still ended up making excuses.
the society will soon have to drop the 'we are better than everyone else' argument for sure.
That photograph looks strikingly familiar. Did that brother used to go door to door selling Swedish Penis Enlargers?
Actually, I can't quite place the face, but there is something about his arse...............
"police in middletown are accusing 50-year-old minister jesus cano, a jehovah's witness, of trying to lure young boys for sex with nude pictures of himself, which he'd printed with his phone number.
i believe he is/was a bethelite at the wt farms.
saw it on my local evening news.. http://wcbstv.com/topstories/local_story_177180721.html.
He wasn't a lover of Jehovah he was just a fake!!!!!!
He may have been a fake lover of Jehovah, but he was a real JDub and apparently a real lover of little boys. And butts. The oppressiveness of the society breeds this type of sexual deviancy in the those who are susceptible. And I will go further and say that the WTS' naivety in these matters is harmful - they are so pompous and self-righteous that they do not bother to become informed about sexual deviancy in their midst. "Just study and go to meetings and leave it in Jehoover's hands." Not good enough by a long-shot.
there are millions world wide leaving their centuries old organized religions, why are ex-jw's joining together to create a fellowship and support system?.
are we the forerunners of something big?.
do we share something unique and don't know it?
Hopie,
Thanks - we all like to feel special !
However, I think each of the groups you mentioned probably DO have a similar support system. I'm too lazy to look them up, but I'd bet on it.
in the golden age goodies thread leolaia has posted two letters that were printed in the magazine written by rutherford, one in 1928 and the other in 1938. in both letters rutherford states either that radio "was created by god" or "no man invented radio".. rutherford also goes into his conspiratorial ideas of how the roman catholic church was working with the nazis to overthrow the governments of england and of the usa to bring in a totalitarian fascist government to both countries.. these remarks sound like the ravings of someone who is not mentally all there.. so the question that naturally arises is this: was rutherford mentally ill?.
i believe that he was.. --vm44
Tell that to the mudered people of Iraq.
kwr: Still not sure what this has to do with Rutherford - ?
well i finally came out and told my parents i did not believe in the wts doctrines.. for me the last straw was seeing honesty's simple clear proof of the wrongness of 607.
'course i couldn't remember all the refs last night but now i've printed them out.. told them about the ngo thing.
of course they said the "ebul 'postates" were twisting the whole thing.. my dad tried to "reason with me" thusly:.
Shador,
Get your ducks in row - at 25 you need to be out from under your parents roof, JW or no JW. They took away your computer? If you were 16, I couldn't argue with any of this, but at 25 it is time to 'break like the wind.'
The single most persuasive issue on your side is not trees or chromosomes or even love. IS THE WTS GOD'S EARTHLY ORGANIZATION, IF GOD FELT HE NEEDED AN ORGANIZATION TO SPEAK FOR HIM? That premise can be unravelled pretty quickly - have they ever, ever predicted anything at all that came true? Do they really have any new light about anything? Why would God choose an organization that fails to deliver and changes significant pieces of their platform? Why is their history a closed book, nearly forbidden from scrutiny?
Good luck to you, lad. Head for Grandma's.

this may have been discussed before, but how come:
we were always told that if an elder, po, co, do or the gb were wrong or misbehaving, to
"leave it in jehoover's hands.....he will take care of it in his own time.
He sort of agreed, and then said to "leave it in Jehovah's hands". Of course, now more than 30 years later, nothing has been done,
Yup, they got it comin' and goin'..................Thanks Alan and LDH for making my point........................

Rutherford murdered no one, unlike George Bush.
...or Ted Bundy, or the Boston Strangler or Son of Sam!
Not sure what George Bush has to do with this topic, but Rutherford certainly developed a religious ideology that has led to murder, suicide, illness and death. And continues to this day..............
