Q16 So they(GB) will make clear the meaning of those instructions
when the time comes for us to follow.(When the tribulation starts)
They have the nerve.They think they are God.All their instructions are meaningless
*See Watchtower,January 15,2000 page 13 para18
Yet many R&F buy this crap and fallow these poor helpless men.
i've been giving some thought to the recent development in which the judge has ruled that the society is barred from completing any property transactions until the appeal is over, which could take up to two years or even more.. i've submitted an article to randy at freeminds in which i basically argue that it is no longer in the society's interests to appeal this case.
if i correctly understand the restrictions placed on the society by the judge, then the governing body has far more to lose by appealing than they could conceivably gain.. think about it.... by appealing, they buy themselves time in which to formulate a long-term strategy for dealing with the fallout of this case, but will be barred from liquidating $1 billion in property assets at a time of global economic uncertainty when their donations are dwindling.
there is also no guarantee that their appeal will be upheld.by dropping their appeal, they take a hit and pay $23.8 million but retain the freedom to see through their real estate projects; retain their financial flexibility to respond to dwindling donations, and get to pretend to their followers (as with the un scandal) that it never happened.of course, i am only saying that dropping the appeal would be the only intelligent option for the society, assuming they are aware of how legally precarious their child abuse policies are.
Not in a 100 yrs.They will wait until hell freezes over.
Could it be way they put a hold on the new HQ.

Was (Elder) Bill Bowen married and did he have children when he got the GB Boot (DF) for doing
the right thing.
Maybe they should have taken his wise advise back than.
But I guess they have that right per undercover.
now, we realize things are tough right now for you guys, but...you are telling the world how unfair the recent damages awarded against you are because he was not in a position of responsability "this is the first time that an organization was found responsible for the alleged misdeeds of a member who held no position of leadership or authority''.
11 the second question asks the candidate, first of all, if he understands that his baptism serves to identify him as one of jehovahs witnesses.
after undergoing immersion, he becomes an ordained minister who bears jehovahs name.
So when they say this is the 1st time a member who held no position? Are they admitting members who hold
position have been sued.
http://www.jw-media.org/usa/20120620.htm .
just plain old corporate denial.
let the games begin.. .
I agree with Billy the ex-bethelite
He is a "Ordained minister of Jehovah's Witnesses"
Just like a Roman Catholic priest is "Ordained minister.
How many are/will be baptised at this years district conventions will be called "You are now an Ordained minister of Jehovah's Witnesses"
That to me is a position in the cong.
i wonder..
Maybe not to the ones that are brain dead in the cult.However,with all the bad news about
the wbts will instill in peoples mind NOT to join this religion.Thus in the western world their #'s will be down.

Also does not the wbts say it is a sin if we don't warn someone of danger.(preaching about the end)
Warn people if you know the road is washed away.
The wbts says they keep the cong clean by warning the members of someone that
is DF from the platform.Not talk to him/her.
WHY WHY NOT warn them of a sicko PEDO.

R a D Says "I am really torn on this"... because of the numerous lawsuits for slander and libel.
Maybe they (society) should look at their policy of disfellowshipping,breaking up families.They deserve to be suited.
Are you more concern about lawsuits and protecting a corrupt organization than protecting little children.(families)
of course watchtower lawyer says it's not over yet, we are going to appeal.
thats what they are suppose to say.
but wat is going to want to put this nightmare behind them as fast as they can.
Maybe I am wrong but the wbts admits it done wrong but they are appealling the amount they have to pay.
how can we imitate the loyalty.
in our loyalty to our marriage.
your marriage mate.
Thanks Blondie!
Q11 talk about worshipping men.Pts in WT from FDS hard to understand.Yeah.because they are not in the bible.Like FDS understanding of the length of a generation.Like the FDS saying the generation that saw 1914 will not pass away(die).
Q17 Do you think he came back after 10 years to worship the FDS or he was pulling the wool over their eyes so he could talk to family.
