  BIG SURPRISE at upcoming International Conventions

  by Smiles in

  1. social
  2. current

  has anyone else been told about this...... word out of hq bethel has it that the upcoming special international conventions will contain some kind of major information or releases.. we know the gb has been rather quiet the last couple years after their 'reorganizing'.

  perhaps because they are facing the sex abuse scandal..... but also likely they have been working on some fancy surprises for the upcoming special international conventions, to excite their masses......... and also try to detract them from the scandals.

  it would be good timing of their part.. this should be interesting......... .

  I'm not JW and have no family that is so if this sounds like a stupid question you'll know why.

  When are these International Conventions and where are they held?

  i went to a racially mixed congregation in the northern suburbs of illinois.

  i found that things done in the congregation if done on a job would cause a person to get fired.

  (in fact i know a jw who was fired for sexual harrassment.

  This doesn't surprise me considering their old publications also have really stupid racial remarks.

  It would be interesting to know how Joel got hold of these secret documents. Was another JW helping him out? If so, it would have to be someone with access to this information.

  I would love to see what those secret documents say. Something revealing enough to make the Society pay out 1.55 million dollars.

  Joel T. Faxon Curriculum Vitae Contact Joel's Practice Areas Civil Rights/Constitutional Law Air Crash Automobile Negligence Product Liability Premises Liability Commercial Litigation Joel's Cases Lawsuit Filed For Death Against Policeman Woodward family sues town for negligence Autopsy shows distraught man hit in the back by one bullet By Tom Marshall Witt vs. St. Vincent Medical Center 252 Conn. 363 (2000) A member of the Bars of both Connecticut and Vermont, Joel Faxon came to KK&B following a clerkship for the Superior Court Judges in Connecticut. For several years at KK&B Joel's practice included litigating the "Colonial Realty" commercial class action lawsuit brought against several prominent accounting firms including Arthur Andersen on behalf of 7500 investors in Real Estate Limited Partnerships. That suit ultimately was resolved by settlements in excess of 100 million dollars. Joel's practice includes products liability, employer liability, civil rights, automobile accidents, air crash cases, commercial litigation and claims against insurance companies. Joel is a graduate of Drew University and the Vermont Law School. He enjoys fighting the tough battles in trial and appellate courts. Some examples of Joel's trials and settlements: Casey v. Teledyne Continental Motors: $3.6 million dollar multi-defendant settlement arising out of the crash of a private plane in Rhode Island. Products liability defendant Teledyne manufactured a defective crankshaft that failed midflight causing the plane to crash. Joel represented the estate of the pilot and his surviving spouse. Product liability claim pending in Federal Court in Connecticut. Separate suit against A&P mechanic pending in Complex Litigation Docket of Superior Court. Coughlin v. Jehovah's Witnesses and Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York: $1.55 million dollar mid-trial settlement arising out of motor vehicle death. Jehovah's Witness defendants claimed that the driver who caused the death was not their employee but rather was on his own private religious trip at the time of the accident. Joel uncovered evidence of the sect's activities and obtained secret documents during discovery that bolstered the case and caused the Jehovah's Witnesses to pay the highest settlement amount in their history. No offers to settle were made by Jehovah's Witnesses until after the trial commenced. Scott v. Ford Motor Credit Corporation: $1.3 Million Dollar Settlement for Family of Nine Year-Old Child Killed in Vermont automobile collision. Case involved multi-district litigation and conflicts involving Vermont, New York and Connecticut law. Whitaker v. Erdos & Maddox: $1 million dollar policy limits settlement of legal malpractice action with underlying medical malpractice claim. Obstetrical negligence during delivery when doctor encountered shoulder dystocia and utilized excessive traction causing brachial plexus injury to child. Joel established that the defendant attorney allowed the case to be dismissed and failed to reopen it in a timely fashion. Defendant attorney testified during deposition that if he ever had another medical malpractice case enter his office he would refer it to Koskoff, Koskoff & Bieder. Air Crash in Dubrovnik, Croatia: Confidential settlement reached by several families represented by KK&B arising out of the crash of a military 737 plane carrying a United States Commerce Department delegation to Croatia. The estates sued Jeppesen Sanderson and Jeppesen Gmbh, the world's largest manufacturers of aeronautical charts and maps, based on the defects and inaccuracies contained on the map that misled the pilots thereby contributing to the crash. Witt vs. St. Vincent Medical Center, 252 Conn. 363 (2000): The Supreme Court of Connecticut, in a unanimous decision, expanded the continuing course of treatment doctrine allowing victims of medical malpractice to sue after the expiration of the statute of limitations where the physician fails to disclose information relevant to the patient's treatment. 350 Fairfield Avenue Bridgeport, CT 06604 ph 203.336.4421 800.366.4421 fx 203.368.3244 em [email protected]

  Before the US takes out Saddam. . .

  by drahcir yarrum in

  2. experiences

  we need to take into consideration that in the last election in iraq, he got 100% of the vote.

  like many dictators throughout the world, he is immensly popular.

  he probably is stockpiling weapons of mass destruction to keep them out of the hands of real bad guys.

  he got 100% of the vote

  Don't you think that's a little too coincidental that everyone in the country voted for him? Saddam is corrupt and so is his Government. No doubt this was an unfair election. That's why it's called a Dictatorship. He dictated to his people who to vote for, or else.....

  WHAT SHUD HAPPEN TO THE PILOTS..........

  what do you think should happen to the two american pilots who fired on and killed the 4 canadians over in afganistan last year in the friendly fire incident?

  this is a hard one.

  as a canadian, i fully support the usa and obviously this disaster was not intentional and i'm sure the pilots must feel awful about it.

  They've admitted to taking speed before the mission, but is that really an excuse?

  That's a poor excuse. I'm bothered when criminals use substance abuse as an excuse to get away with murder.
