  Dutch judge rules that elders are not entitled to hide behind clergy-penitent privilege

  by Anders Andersen in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  today a dutch judge ruled that jw elders and the jw branch cannot invoke clergy-penitent privilege when it comes to information used in a judicial committee.. jw had filed a complaint with the courts because the branch office, two kingdom halls and a few elders' homes were raided by police almost 2 years ago in search of evidence related to child abuse issues.. jw argued that the information that was taken by police is protected by clergy-penitent privilege.

  today the judge ruled that 1) an organization doesn't haven't such a privilege, 2) jw elders don't always act as spiritual counselors.

  their actions as judges in judicial committees aren't protected by privilege, and 3) conversations jw have with their elders are often not confidential at all (as per jw policy) so jw elders can't rightfully invoke clergy-penitent privilege to maintain absolute confidentiality, because there isn't absolute confidentiality in the first place.. jw are thinking about appealing the verdict..

  The Watchtower Corporation started out as a commercialized false prophet organization/ publishing house, 140 years later on it still is.

  The Kingdom of the WTS/JWorg. is where men built up their own power and authority if they were sanctioned by god himself, luring people into their Kingdom to be their subjective and submissive slaves.

  But wait they were apostate false prophet sinners who the bible says to not listen to, let alone to subservient and loyal to ????

  today is the 75th anniversary of the end of wii in europe.

  they were a special generation who were literally prepared to give their lives rather than submit to fascism.

  millions paid the ultimate price.

  Behold the face of JESUS!

  eight years ago, i lived in a kind of "retirement" hotel.the palm house.no - it wasn't an old folks home.

  it was an ancient folks home.mostly senior ladies living off of faith and a dead husband's money.. my encounter with jesus came about in that environment.. once a week there would be a coffee and doughnuts get-together to get to know your neighbors.. well .

  .i got invited repeatedly, badgered, coaxed, pestered and i gave up.

  The Motive of the Governing Body

  i have been quiet of late, developing other interests, happy that there are a whole group of people producing great resources.

  however, i found some old emails from ray franz that promoted me to write an article that answers a question i regularly receive.

  it is in regards to the motive of governing body members.

  To identify a motive by the WTS/JWS leaders (GB), it really was about creating set doctrines which could be utilized to not only attract people to the literature the organization published but to coerce and manipulate people to publicly distribute those pieces of literature themselves. This was strategically designed as preaching an accurate bible based gospel of Jesus and his new kingdom order.

  Eventually overtime these doctrines ran their course and are easily pointed out as false unscriptural doctrines.

  The Watchtower Corporation was tricky, deceitful, lying, corrupt, apostate and sinful in its endeavour of preaching a tainted and commercialized Gospel.

  Have you ever known elders who were more into being and elder than really being a believer?

  by phoenixrising in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have known many elders who were much more into the idea of being an elder and getting all the old ladies to tell them what wonderful talks they give and the power then really being a believer.

  i had one elder tell me that when he became an elder he was on top dog on top of the heap.

  i knew some who were really all about the religion and following the cult.

  Oh to bask in the power of the almighty creator, oh the glory, the prestige, the power.

  One day I might be chosen to be an anointed GB member of his earthly organization and really feel the spirit force of the almighty god Jehovah. !

  The most important truth of the JWS/WTS leaders is that their teachings and propagations drew interest to the literature they published and garnered a semblance of power and control over others, they essentially became Kings and rulers of a Kingdom they built, all pretentiously marketed as god's chosen organization here on earth.
  

  The reality they were just corrupt religious charlatans who were novice bible theologians at best.

  It is absolutely unforgivable in light of the fact that any rank & file JW who dares to disagree or even question the GB will be labeled an “apostate,” disfellowshipped and lose their family and friends!

  That's indicative to the inherent corruption of the WTS by its developing leaders (GB), the chosen self anointed ones and set out instructions to demonize anyone who questions their position and leadership.

  Anyways what could possibly go wrong with someone using the ancient Hebrews via the thousands year old bible book for humanity's social moral standards today ? .
  

  They are the chosen intermediary ones between Jehovah and all of mankind, according to them. , oh wait a second there are hundreds of men who proclaim the same thing all around the world

  The main objective to the WTS leaders is make an increase in " numbers ", which equates to more subservient mental and physical slaves beholding to these men, which equates to more power and money, the power and glory of God is attained.

  ....a motive is established
