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.

Reports of lower memorial attendance
by thedepressedsoul ini have heard a lot of reports from kingdom halls in the area that there was less than last year, for both time slots.. we had the first time slot and we were down 50+/- compared to last year.
last year we had the lobby full of people standing and this year we had empty seats and no one standing.
we ran out of parking last year and this year we made it.. like i said i am hearing quite a few reports of this from halls in our area.however, somehow the number seem to inch up every year.

"Pray Anything" is the tenth episode of the fourteenth season of The Simpsons. It is the 301st episode of the Simpsons in broadcast order; in production order, this is the 299th.
In the episode, Homer discovers that praying can solve problems, and uses this to his advantage. After breaking his leg near the church, Homer sues the church and ends up receiving the deed to own it when the church was unable to pay him $1,000,000 as granted, where he would have used the money to repair the house's pipes and drywall. Under his ownership, the church becomes a hangout for townspeople, where the Ten Commandments are all broken, much to Reverend Lovejoy's dismay when he decides to leave Springfield after losing his church.
The episode starts with The Simpsons visiting The Springfield Square Garden to watch a WNBA game. The announcer offers a $50,000 prize for shooting a half-court basket.Homer presumes he is the winner, since he is sitting in Section A, Row 12, Seat 16. His ticket however turns out to be for the following day's "WNFL" match and, to his dismay, the real winner is Ned Flanders. Ned kneels and prays before shooting the basket, and he makes it. He declares he will donate his money to "Bibles for Belgians." The Rich Texan then gives Ned an extra $100,000 for his generous attitude. Adding to Homer's fury, Ned gets to drive home in the Wienermobile.
The following day, Homer asks Ned what his secret is, and Ned replies it is hard work, clean living and a little prayer does not hurt, Homer ignores the first two which require effort in favour of prayer. Later, Homer cannot find the remote control and prays to God to help him find it. He finds it under the couch and is able to switch away from a Ken Burnsdocumentary to the "Monkey Olympics." Homer sees that his prayers are working, and sets up a prayer station in his workstation at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant.
After Homer prays for a new snack treat (resulting in Bacon Fudge after two trucks collide), prays to help Bart with his homework, and asks God to help him unblock the sink,Marge then tells Homer that he cannot ask God to do every little thing for him, which he bluntly refuses to consider. A plumber who comes to examine the sink finds the pipes full of roots and points out that the moisture is ruining the drywall, which crumbles at his touch.
On Sunday, Homer is walking towards the church and looking up, talking to God. Not looking where he is going, he falls down into a shallow hole, reserved for the Nativity Scene. A shady lawyer is walking by, and convinces Homer to sue the church. Homer goes through with this because he needs the money to fix the pipes and drywall. While in court, theBlue-Haired Lawyer shows a video of Homer's stupidity to prove he is accident prone, but the jury (led by Cletus) still finds in Homer's favor. Homer is granted $1,000,000, but the church cannot pay this. Instead, Homer receives the deed to the church and, despite Marge's objections, moves the family there, displacing Reverend Lovejoy, who relectantly accepts an invitation to stay with Ned Flanders and his family.
Homer immediately commences watching TV in his underwear, drinking beer out of a Communion chalice, and using a crucifix as an air-guitar when he sings the KISS song I Was Made for Lovin' You. He kicks out an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, telling them that the room now belongs to the dog. Marge tells Homer that he is not being a good Christian, and Homer decides to repay them by throwing a big party.
Meanwhile, Reverend Lovejoy has set up a temporary church in Barney's Bowl-A-Rama. Only a very few faithful, including Marge and the Flanders family, still attend. Constant interruptions of his sermon cause Lovejoy to give up hope and leave town.
The church becomes a bar and hangout for the townspeople, complete with drinking, poker, violence, fires, and worship of idols. Ned observes that they have broken all Ten Commandments. As Marge worries that Homer is incurring God's wrath, a rainstorm begins and Homer is struck by lightning. The town begins to flood, and the townspeople flee to the roof of the church. Homer tries praying again but the flood keeps rising. Just as the townspeople are about to enact revenge on Homer, Reverend Lovejoy returns in a helicopter and leads everyone in prayer, asking God to forgive them for letting themselves be led by a "demon in blue pants."
The flood subsides, and Lisa explains that the rain is actually the result of soot in the air from the earlier bonfire, and the lack of trees in Springfield caused the flood. Bart asks what made the rain stop, and Lisa shrugs and says "I don't know, Buddha?" The final scene shows God, Buddha and Colonel Sanders in heaven eating popcorn chicken.
