  You could make the threat of leagal action? JC will be haulted, branch informed, case put on hold !

  if the accused knows he/she is getting the boot maybe they should call the branch themselves and tell the branch that elder ______,_____ and _____ are not following procedure and legal counsel will be retained and local law will be called in

  call em out on their bullshit

  it's so depressing.

  As noted on your blog, the time more than doubles when you include preparation, travel and time wasted waiting on others.

  I've already wasted a whole year of my life just travelling to and attending CONventions and ASSemblies. It adds up fast!

  the best assemby (meeting, convention, etc.) ever".

  It is amusing when you ask them "what part did you enjoy the most?" and all you get is a blank stare.

  You will never see your accusers and seldom know who they are. Thats the standard no matter what the Society says. I've only known of a few that ever knew who accused them.

  so you're basically saying I'm screwed

  edit post: that caption from 2009 is further evidence to me that there's another faction present within the upper echelons of the WT doing the work of a saboteur. I don't see how it's possible that such an article could have went out the door without the GB failing to see the irony?

  It is just a recruiting technique of a cult. Give the public a sanitized version of your religion. Enforce upon the members the harsh reality.

  One more thing.

  Has anyone ever threatened a lawsuit against a WITNESS at a hearing if they are/were lying?

  This pretty much proves that in most cases the decision is made BEFORE the judicial hearing even starts, the procedure is just a formality.

  Sadly I think that you are correct. The decision has already been made before the hearing has even begun.

  There is no jc yet Ray. I am doing my homework just in case.

  You have inspired many with your courage Ray by not giving them any power over you. A modern day Luther.

  I believe I was in the hall where the publicized jc was held. Makes me feel all special.
