john roe 1 vs. defendant doe 1, congregation is a child sexual abuse case pending before the superior court of california, orange county (judge john c. gastelum).
jury trial is scheduled on june 15, 2020, but it may not occur: the judge is expected to decide on multiple pre-trial motions including motion for sanctions filed by plantiffs; next hearing on pre-trial motions is scheduled on may 14.. case docket is available here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dbqcronnkeax492pshgwpuoubt-xaabz/view?usp=sharing .
case documents are available for purchase here: https://ocapps.occourts.org/civilwebshoppingns/search.do (case number 30-2014-00741722-cu-po-cjc).. during the course of this litigation the court ordered watchtower to produce molestation complaints it received, redacting only names of victims and elders handling the matters.
... allegations that expose Plaintiffs to extreme harassment, humiliation, ridicule, social stigmatization, and physical and emotional distress, and that infringe upon their religious freedoms.
Imagine that, Jehovah's Witnesses are arguing against something that they and the Watchtower organization practice every day when a fellow believer awakens and disagrees with them (with the possible exception of harassment).
this is just a small portion of something i have composed.
hope you enjoy it.

I LOVE those lines!
i'm not sure how many in the organization is like this, but there some jws who love seeing others get disfellowshipped, and my father-in-law is one of those.
he became a jw because he loved the idea of being the head of the household, and lording it over his family.
as a jw he is very hypocritical, my husband would tell stories of how they would celebrate christmas until his mother-in-law called him on it.
Why do some JWs love seeing others get disfellowshipped?
Because in a perverted way it makes them feel superior.
Jehovah's Witnesses believe they are the only true religion. They have God's blessing and no one else does. They are doing God's will and no one else is. They will be in the New System and no one else will. Etc, etc.
For some of them the feeling of being superior doesn't stop there and they eventually begin to "cannilbalize" each other in the sense that they take pleasure in another being brought down, even one of their own. Most wouldn't let it show, perhaps even appearing to be heart broken about a disfellowshipping, but the feeling is there.
"So and so is disfellowshipped and I'm faithful."
i never post on here.
i am sanchy's wife.
i posted my coming out story about 3 yrs ago.
Way to go Corruptgirl!
The idea of JWs using extreme care at gatherings re serving alcohol had been going through my mind since the first mentions of it by those defending Tony Morris. You nailed the references that I thought must be there but had no idea where to look for them. Your research is outstanding and your communication skills are excellent.
That was a very enjoyable read on many levels. Thank you!
ralph candelario is a jw.
he murdered his jw wife (his second wife) around january 2014 in walsenburg, colorado.
his first wife disappeared and has never been found but the jury was not permitted to know this.
By my TV schedule it appears that NBC is airing it at 7.30 PM on the West Coast of the USA, 4-6-19 (Pacific Time Zone).
i remember reading this site and wondering how much of ttatt the writer(s) knew.
now i just found these series of you tube videos by the writer.
leaving jehovah's witnesses: "religion is a snare and a racket".
I've watched just 3 min of this video so far, and it is OUTSTANDING in showing the double standards of the Watchtower Organization. Now for the rest.
i was howling watching cedars latest video of tm111 buying a dozen bottles of scotch ((maccallans scotch).
you can't write this stuff.
right, i'm now off to buy a bottle of maccallans 😂..
I'm wondering what kind of backlash there will be about this within Bethel and the Governing Body. Maybe Watchtower will try to spin it, but how can you spin it into something that's ok? Bring attention to it might make it worse. It doesn't matter what you do, this doesn't look good for AM3 or the Organization.

One of the things that really gets me about this is that the Governing Body encourages little kids to give their ice cream money to Jehovah's Organization, while Anthony Morris III uses his money to buy hard liquor. The $850 he spent would have gone a lot farther toward "kingdom interests" than a child's dollar.
Another thing, mentioned previously, is that it's entirely inappropriate for someone that has taken a "vow of poverty" to spend lavishly on alcohol - I don't care where the money came from, even if it was his own.
a study of religious retention rates–that is, what percentage of people raised in a particular church or religion stay with it when they are grown–is quite interesting.

jdubs have alittle over 36%.
One of the most glaring JW failures is the inability to keep their young people. They are God's true people, so they say, but they have never come close to fulfilling Prov 22:6...
Train a boy in the way he should go; Even when he grows old he will not depart from it. (Prov 22:6, Revised NWT)
Elder's kids, pioneer's kids, ordinary publisher's kids, it doesn't matter. The majority have always left and today it's likely worse than ever.
i searched "gambling" on this forum and only found old threads.
so thought i'd share.
perhaps it has already been commented on and i am just repeating.. see you all in vegas baby!
When I came into the organization, in the early 1970s, I seem to remember that even penny ante poker was off limits. You had to play with tokens. Now recreational gambling is ok.
