When I first heard about it, I was at the book study. Of course, it was heavily criticized. I remember hearing how victims were threatened with disfellowshipping if they went to the police. Of course, I immediately said that can’t be true. It was unbelievable to me. However, the book study conductor, an elder, said, that yes, basically that was the policy at the one time. I couldn’t believe my ears.

Sam Herd’s comment on the 2001 Dateline expose
by Londo111 inim going by memory, so not an exact quote...i believe this was around 2002, at the crownsville assembly hall (now sold from what i understand)..
he said basically: some people watch an hour show and give up the faith that theyve had for decades..
the impact of this show was like a canon being shot into a swimming pool.

Russell v Russell: the 1908 court transcript
by Londo111 indoes anyone know how to obtain a copy?.
i have poked around pennsylvania websites, attempting to figure out how to obtain the transcript, but recently, i have it on good authority that the transcript went missing from the pennsylvania archives over 30 years ago.
it is likely that there is vested interest (jws, bible students) to keep this hidden..

Would it be possible to catch a GB on his travel plans?
by StarTrekAngel ini was just wondering if, among the many videos available, anyone ever caught one of the gb members leaving hq on a trip.
i doubt anyone followed them but at least leaving the building.
what do they ride?.

According to what Splane said at a circuit assembly, if they are travelling, if they are not dressed in suits, the Watchtower won't pick them up.

I stand corrected. For some reason I thought it was a theater now. My grandfather helped Crownsville way back when. -
