Third Witness's old go to line was to claim that the Wacthtower never lost a court case on abuse. With the Conti case he can no longer say that. He is scrambling for a rebuttal.
I'd really like to know who he really is and if he is really a witness.

Disgusting Words From A WT Apologist Regarding Candace.
by Bangalore insource: http://www.topix.com/forum/religion/jehovahs-witness/trp8rlm4l1af9sn60.
who wants to be a millionaire--conti's way.. for those that attended the north freemont congregation or the oakley congregation in california from 1993 onward (hot attractive females preferred but not necessarily a prerequisite) you have millions and millions of dollars waiting for you.
the only requirement is that you knew jonathan kendrick while you were a minor after all his responsibilities were removed from him in the congregation.

Latest convention brochure on,,, the Governing Body
by cedars ini've finally get my hands on a pdf of one of the two newly released brochures, this one entitled "who are doing jehovah's will today?".
here's a link so you can download your own copy.... http://www66.zippyshare.com/v/98881625/file.html.
predictably, the brochure is extremely vague on key topics.

The Governing Body is certainly being elevated more and more over the Faithful & Discreet Slave. My predicition is that the FDS will be redefined to be the Governing Body, the house is the anointed, and the belongings as the other sheep.

Seems like "mother" is getting reintroduced into the JW lingo. It went out a fashion for some decades.

The "Secrecy Policy
by Celestial ini've given this recent lawsuit quite a bit of thought and come to sound conclusions.
after examining other organization's child-protection policies (namely churches), what i've come to realize is there's a one-size fits all solution that's socially acceptable; all information obtained through witnesses and confessions by organizational personnel is be used to aid and abet law-enforcement.
there's no in-between or anything short of this objective that's socially acceptable.

The minister/communicant privilege does not apply to Jehovah's Witnesses, because investigation/judicial committes always involve at least two elders, if not more, and correspondence regarding the communicant is sent to JW HQ.

Hospitality after Public Talk - ???
by RubaDub ini see a lot of mentions about hospitality after the public talk and honestly, i guess it is a practice that was not in the ny/ct area i grew up in or here in south florida today.. i grew up with an elder father and grandfather who gave public talks and were generally well-liked.
as a child, i never recall being invited to someone's house after the meeting.
granted, it was rare to travel more than an hour but regardless, it was typical to get in the car and head home after the "amens.

In my midwest hall we had a sign up sheet on the information board that listed the speakers, both local and incoming. The more popular elders would get signed up for quickly, while the b-listers would be blank for a while, sometimes even up to the day of their talk. When I could, I'd sign up to take out the unpopular ones, other times it would fall to one of the elders or a bookstudy group. Normally, the speaker would be taken out to a local sit-down restaraunt. On occasion someone would fix something at their home, but that was difficult since you didn't really have time to prepare a lunch and so had to fall back to some kind of crock pot dish you could put while you went to the meeting. The most frustrating things were when a speaker would come in with an entire entourage: their wife, their brood, their moms, the single brotha looking for sistas, grandma, etc.
As a child I hated having to go over to someone's house. 1.) You often had to stay a LONG time and if they didn't have kids it was sooooo boring. 2.) You were at the mercy of whatever they fixed. The little old ladies with their salmon patties were the worst.

It doesn't have to be an annoucement from the platform. The current policy is that elders are gagged from informing families, even privately, if a known molestor among them. Why put such a restriction on the elders? This is a no-brainer and should have been lifted years ago.

Awesome news! I hope this puts the nail in the coffin of judicial committees and also kills that stupid policy of not telling families about known molestors in the congregation.

No. You can't copyright a name. You can only trademark one. Even at that, there is no confusing a magical warrior wizard with a brick company.
