  A Judicial experience.

  by John Aquila in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  when i was an elder in the 80s, a 16 year old baptized jw girl had confessed that at school during lunch a boy kissed her and touched her privates over her dress.

  the circuit overseer was in town and we told him of the situation and he called the society and then told us that mother said we were not allowed to conduct the funeral in the kingdom hall or anywhere else with the threat of removing us and being dealt with judicially if we disobeyed.

  the mother who is about 79 years old comes once a year to talk to my mom about the situation.

  I don't think they can shield assets this way.

  Probably not, but it makes the process of collecting more complicated. Sometimes slowing the bleed is the only strategy available.

  this has been set up as a not-for-profit. There are no IRS Form 990s on Guidestar. Perhaps because it is too new. But this will be one to watch.

  This is a simple means of shielding assets from future litigation. Soon when someone decides to sue the Watchtower or Jehovah's Witnesses they will find no assets to collect even if they win. The goodies of money and property are being dispersed through many separate legal organizations.

  Sister attendants not able to give directions to a brother..Misogyny

  by Theburstbubble in

  2. beliefs

  at our recent rc i was advised by a sister who was an attendant that they have been advised not to be able to give brothers directions as this should be dealt with by the brothers.

  apparently at the pre-convention attendants meeting, the sisters were asked to stay behind.

  this was when they were given the news that the brothers should deal with brothers.

  women have two spectacular "pointers" thank you very much.

  No, thank you very much, they are marvelous pointers, I agree. But my problem is that I would focus on the pointers and not where they are pointing.

  I think it is obvious why sisters cant give direction - they do not have a penis to point with. How can you give directions without a pointer???

  I always loved the expectation of a big announcement. Growing up a witness I don't know how many times I was lead to believe there was something big just around the corner. With no exception I was always disappointed - always. But perhaps this time it really will be something big...

  While a young child we had a DF sister in the congregation who continued to go out in service. I doubt that she turned in her time but there was no doubt that she was crazy.
