Today I saw this news story from Australia, and I had never seen it. I wanted to create a thread that can constantly be updated as the media exposes the practices of the Watchtower of covering up abuse. I'll post the dateline story and some other silent lambs stories. If anyone comes across any other professional news stories that expose the Watchtower, please post them here.

He gave a few of us "new boys" a condescending look while riding in an elevator as we talked about the experience of the first night watch at the
Squibb building.
Maybe it was because you were on the elevator! Everyone knows new boys are supposed to take the stairs!!! Gotta save the Watchtower some money for electricity.

The only problem with the symphony version is that it does not follow the exact verse/chorus/verse structure of the regular song and hence the lyrics.
You can see that here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-lx-_5DXBs

Rules in the New System
by King Solomon inok, so even if laws are to be written on people's hearts vs spelled out into lawbooks, there's going to have to be some laws in the new system of things, right?
i say we get the ball rolling and brainstorm what they should be: after all, none of us got invited to the party anyway but since there just ain't going to be any party, why let that spoil our fun?
so, the theme is laws to be in effect in the new system.

Posted this on another thread, but apparently one of the rules of the New System will be that we all speak.... HEBREW! But probably with all the nasty yiddish-like words thrown out... Schmucks!
*** w74 1/15 p. 43 How One Language Will Bring Unity to Mankind ***
ONE RACE, ONE LANGUAGE
When we examine God’s original purpose concerning man’s language, it becomes clear that he will have but one language spoken during Christ’s thousand-year rule. God wanted man to communicate. He himself spoke to Adam, and arranged for Adam to talk to him. (Gen. 2:15-23) Also, he gave language to man as an indispensable tool for thought. Adam could build upon the language as he learned new things or needed an enlarged vocabulary. Adam could fill the spiritual capacity God gave him, learning about God and expressing himself fully.
What was the one original language? It was undoubtedly what later came to be called Hebrew. Why can we say this? Well, when the confusion of tongues occurred at the Tower of Babel, not all were affected. Noah had not rebelled. He recognized God’s sovereignty, not making himself king, as Nimrod did. Noah’s son Shem, whom Noah had prophetically blessed, evidently stayed with Noah and with true worship. (Gen. 9:26, 27) The Bible record reveals that true worship was carried down through the Shemites, particularly through the outstanding man of faith, Abraham. Abraham (Abram) was called a Hebrew.—Gen. 14:13.
Later, Moses, a descendant of Abraham, wrote his account (Genesis through Deuteronomy) in a language called Hebrew.There may well have been little change in Moses’ language from the original language spoken by Adam. Why? Because men then enjoyed very long life-spans, their lives often overlapping into five or six generations. Therefore, the language could have been passed down through only five human links between Adam and Moses, namely, Methuselah, Shem, Isaac, Levi, Amram. (Gen. 5:3-32; 11:10-32; 21:5; 25:26; 29:34; Ex. 6:16, 18, 20) Of course, after the exile of Israel to Babylon in 607 B.C.E., and right on down to our modern times, the Hebrew language has been influenced by other languages. Too, the exact pronunciation of God’s name as spelled out in the Hebrew of Moses’ day is not now known. But God can easily restore the purity of the language so that those living in the New Order will speak it naturally and fluently.
This speaking of one literal language will be the finishing touch to the unity brought about by the "pure language" of truth—beautifully so! All religious, national, social and racial barriers will be things of the past, and, additionally, with one vocabulary all will be able to express their thoughts fully and be understood accurately. Think also of being able to read for yourself exactly what the Hebrew prophets wrote—in their own language! The many resurrected ones who did not previously know God will find that the inspired Scriptures give an accurate account of human history down to the days of the prophet Malachi. Then the honesthearted ones will be able to say, as did the apostle Paul: "Let God be found true, though every man be found a liar."—Rom. 3:4.

I found these quotes on another thread (courtesy of Blondie) (not in the Prince of Peace book) that talks about us speaking Hebrews in the New System:

*** ws chap. 21 p. 176 par. 11 The Garden of Eden Restored—Earth Wide *** What will become the common language of all the earthly children of the "Eternal Father"? Will it be the original language of the first Adam, the language with which Jehovah endowed him? Likely.
*** w91 5/1 p. 12 par. 7 Become United by the Pure Language ***Since God can impart different tongues miraculously, would it not be wonderful if he made it possible for only one language to be spoken and understood worldwide? That would promote greater understanding within the human family.
*** g71 2/22 p. 10 The Gift of Language ***In God’s new order it seems reasonable that there will be a return to one language for all mankind. Whether that language will be man’s original tongue, Hebrew, or a blend of Hebrew with the most delightful aspects of other languages or something different, the Bible does not discuss.

Does anyone remember that the "Prince of Peace" book released in the 80's said that everyone would speak Hebrew in the New System? Anyone have the ability to look up and quote this? I can't seem to find it.

Name Some Stupid Watchtower Rules or Ideas
by minimus inthere's a lot.. one rule that is dumb is that a brother must wear a suit for a sunday public talk that he is giving.
any other time, the brother could wear a suit coat with a different pair of pants and not be counseled for it.. another dumb idea is that you cannot date a person unless you seriously might marry them.
if you're on a date, you were supposed to always have a chaperone and holding hands might not be allowed as well as sitting together.. what other dumb rules and ideas can you add?.
