If the Watchtower Society and Jehovah's Witnesses were really Jehovah God's true organization and representatives on earth then the following is what the judges really said...
[Jehovah God] contend that Conti’s parents could be found at least partially responsible for the harm she suffered because they were negligent in supervising her and entrusting her to [Jehovah God's] care. However, the court properly refused to allow attribution of fault to Conti’s parents given the absence of any evidence they had reason to know [Jehovah God] was a threat to her. (See Chaney v. Superior Court (1995) 39 Cal.App.4th 152, 156–158 [parent must have actual knowledge of threat of molestation to be liable for negligent supervision of the victim; such knowledge was not established by perpetrator’s allegedly “excessive” gift-giving and attention paid to minor].)

Brother Kendrick's "Publisher Card" and "Letter of Introduction", should those Elders get Sued?
by PokerPlayerPhil ini am pasting what flipper posted here below because i wanted to know how culpable the body of elders are your opinion and as a juror what you would do to this person(probably the secretary who was his friend, sounds that way.
) the odds are this was their secretary and conveniently he make's no mention and downplay's kendrick's bad qualities because there's another root why kendrick's acted as bad witness.
jws elders will go to great lenghts to cover up their buddy and family's sins while blasting those who they hate or pick on.

In reading any sentence, statement, or phrase be careful not to miss the grammatical modifier.
"He never called undue attention to himself."
The use of the grammatical modifier "undue" changes the statement and structure of the sentence. The word "undue" can mean unwarranted or inappropriate or excessive or disproportionate.
He never called inappropriate attention to himself.
Grammatical modifiers are often used by the governing body and the writers of Watchtower literature to entirely change the meaning of statements and sentences. Consider the phrases "mature christian" or "spiritual brother" or "qualified elder" and how the grammatical modifier is used to change the meaning. The phrase "qualified elder" does not mean there are unqualified elders, for the Watchtower Society would never admit that.
Not too long ago Stephen Lett of the governing body gave a talk in which he warned JW's to reject "false stories ... apostate-driven lies and dishonesties". His talk was replete with grammatical modifiers such as the three just quoted in the previous sentence.

An updated list of documents relating to the Charity Commission investigation into Watchtower of Britain and Jehovah's Witnesses are available on JW Leaks.
ORIGINAL CHARITY COMMISSION PRESS RELEASE
Press release
Charity Commission investigates Jehovah's Witnesses charities
From:
First published:
10 June 2014
Statutory inquiries opened into Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Britain and Manchester New Moston Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses
The Charity Commission, the regulator of charities in England and Wales, has opened statutory inquiries into Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Britain (registered charity number 1077961), and one of the congregations, Manchester New Moston Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses (registered charity number 1065201).
The investigation into Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Britain is to examine:
· the charity’s handling of safeguarding matters, including the creation, development, substance and implementation of its safeguarding policy
· the administration, governance and management of the charity by the trustees and whether or not the trustees of the charity have complied with and fulfilled their duties and responsibilities as trustees under charity law
· the charity’s safeguarding advice provided to congregation charities
The regulator opened a case into the charity in July 2013 to examine concerns about the trustees’ approach to dealing with safeguarding matters and discuss the scope of the trustees’ duties and responsibilities under charity law in connection with safeguarding issues. The Commission has corresponded with the charity and met with its trustees in March 2014.
The charity has a safeguarding policy and the trustees agree that the charity, and the congregations, should have adequate safeguarding policies and procedures in place. The inquiry is about the regulator assuring itself about the policy, procedures and practices in light of recent events.
The Commission’s duty to protect public trust in charity has prompted it to open a formal inquiry to investigate these concerns. The Commission’s concerns have been amplified by recent criminal cases concerning historic incidents of abuse involving individuals who appear to have been connected to Jehovah’s Witnesses congregations and/or the charity. In addition, there has been growing public interest in how the charity and congregations of Jehovah’s Witnesses deal with safeguarding matters.
The investigation into the Manchester New Moston Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses is to examine:
· the charity’s handling of safeguarding matters, including its safeguarding policy, procedures and practice
· how the charity dealt with the risks to the charity and its beneficiaries, including the application of safeguarding policy and procedures and any related policies and procedures particularly as regards the conviction and release of a former trustee
· the administration, governance and management of the charity by the trustees and whether or not the trustees of the charity have complied with and fulfilled their duties and responsibilities as trustees under charity law
The Commission has serious concerns about Manchester New Moston Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses, having most recently opened a case into it in December 2013. There has also been recent press coverage in connection with the conviction and release of a former trustee of the charity.
The two investigations announced today are separate but linked.
Trustees are under a duty to act prudently and all times to act exclusively in the best interests of the charity and to discharge their duties in accordance with their duty of care. In consequence it is essential that charities engaged with children or vulnerable people (a) have adequate safeguarding policies and procedures which reflect both the law and best practice in this area, (b) ensure that trustees know what their responsibilities are and (c) ensure that these policies are fully implemented.
The Commission stresses that it is not a safeguarding authority and its inquiries will not investigate allegations of abuse or actual incidents of abuse, whether historic or recent. Its concern is with the proper regulation of charities. Anyone with concerns about specific incidents of alleged abuses, whether historic or recent, for any charity, should report their concerns to the police and the relevant safeguarding authorities.
The trustees of each of the charities have indicated to the Commission that they intend to challenge the regulator’s decisions to open the statutory inquiries in the First-tier Tribunal (Charity).
Notes to Editors
1. The Charity Commission is the independent regulator of charities in England and Wales.
2. Our mission is to be the independent registrar and regulator of charities in England and Wales, acting in the public’s interest, to ensure that charities know what they have to do; the public know what charities do and charities are held to account.
3. Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Britain is the national governing body for all the Jehovah’s Witnesses Congregations. There are 1354 individual congregations registered as charities.
4. The inquiry into Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Britain was opened on 27 May 2014.
5. The inquiry into Manchester New Moston Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses was opened on 30 May 2014.
6. Statutory inquiries are the Commission’s most serious type of engagement with charities; the opening of an inquiry gives the Commission access to a range of protective and remedial powers.
7. It is the Commission’s policy, after it has concluded the inquiry, to publish a report detailing what issues the inquiry looked at, what actions were undertaken as part of the inquiry and what the outcomes were. Reports of previous inquiries by the Commission are available on its website.

Recycled WTS beliefs
by Simon inwe all know the wts abandons and invents beliefs faster than apple can churn out new shiny stuff.
but have they ever abandoned a belief and later picked it up again?.
i remember many years ago we had one of those post-district-assembly review parts (part of the service meeting) where they were discussing some "new light".. there was some confusion about which was the "new" and which was the "old" and a semi-discussion ensued with people commenting.

The "faithful and discreet slave".
In Russell's day, and for sometime thereafter, the "faithful and discreet slave" was Russell by reason that he was in solely in charge, being viewed as God's channel. It was not a class of people.
Later the teaching of the "faithful and discreet slave" was changed a class of anointed JW's all around the earth.
Today the "faithful and discreet slave" is only the seven members of the governing body by reason that they are in charge, being viewed as God's channel.
