Need some translation help
by Juan Viejo2 ini'm looking for anyone on jwn who might be fluent in both written and spoken italian and portuguese (brazilian dialect).. i've recently received two very interesting communications from jehovah's witnesses in brazil and italy.
they seem to be very anxious to tell their stories and share them with the rest of the world.
i've used google translator to try to get the gist of what they are trying to tell me, but i've found that for online translation services to work well you have to write in very short sentences and use very common phrases to make them truly intelligible.

Ridiculous elder ideas and rules
by Juan Viejo2 inin an earlier thread, i went off topic for a moment to share excerpts from an email i received from an active sister living in the midwest usa.
she mentioned that the elders in her congregations were extremely conservative and criticized the flock for using certain colors of highlighters in their magazines.
she also reported that they were all over the sisters for wearing stylish boots or tennis shoes during the winter months.. i know that some elder groups can be very liberal, supportive and loving toward their flocks - while others are exactly opposite to the point that they become overbearing and oppressive.. what have you experienced as far as ridiculous, over-the-top rules and ideas enforced by local elders?.

New court docs for Menlo Park KH scandal
by Juan Viejo2 ini've been fighting computer problems for over a week, but i finally got a new article up at ex-jw.com about the status of the court case in san francisco.. the plaintiffs will be going to court this week and possibly again in ten days.
the big issue is the bank account statements and signature files.
plaintiffs claim that defendants opened up unauthorized bank accounts and allegedly forged the then current coboe / ceo's signature.
