Ownership does reside at the local level. Current bylaws that are being put into place state that if the kingdom Hall is sold the proceeds go to Watchtower bible and tract society or a corporation designated by the governing body of Jehovah's Witnesses. And the board of directors at the local level is made up of local individuals who are elected by the voting members of the title holding congratulation. Normally voting members are defined as this of majority age in that state who are baptized and have their active publisher cards at that congregation.

As you have confirmed it is other actions by that man that makes her uncomfortable so it is not the exclusive thing of asking her for lotion. -

The husband may have felt he was flirting and the man may have been flirting. But to just equate asking for lotion with flirting is a far stretch.

Your analogy of the baseball stadium is not equal. Obviously these individuals see each other often and is not a stranger. A better analogy would be if you go up to a woman at work and ask her for lotion or an aspirin are you flirting with her?

I still don't understand how asking for lotion is a way you can equate to flirting? Also how dare you use the term queer in such a deratory way.

I called them today. I expressed my concerns and the did listen. It didn't seem like the law firm itself but an intake center but I maybe wrong.

I am confused and I maybe an idiot. How is asking for lotion flirting with someone? Isn't it like asking someone for some Aspirin?

Judge sanctions WTS - $4k per day penalty for not producing sex abuse documents
by Simon injudge sanctions jehovah's witnesses.
imposes $4000-a-day penalty for not producing documents in sex-abuse case.
by dorian hargrove, june 24, 2016. a san diego superior court judge has ordered the church of jehovah's witnesses, also known as the watchtower bible and tract society of pennsylvania, to pay $4000 a day for every day that it fails to produce documents requested in a civil lawsuit brought by former parishioner, osbaldo padron, who claims a church elder sexually abused him when he was seven years old.. in a june 23 ruling, expected to be made final today, judge richard strauss admonished the church for willfully ignoring a court order to produce all documents associated with a 1997 body of elders letter that church leaders sent to parishes around the world in a quest to learn about sexual abuse of children by church leaders.. over the course of the past year, the watchtower society and its lawyers have fought hard to keep the letter confidential, claiming that turning over the documents would infringe on the privacy of those mentioned in the letter that were not associated with the case.. in march 2015, the church turned over a heavily redacted version of the letter.

No orphan crow. I only said that because someone called the ARC a court. It is not a court. It is a clarification statement.

First of all the ARC is not a court because it does not have the same due process of a court, no defense, cross examination of witnesses or evidence being presented by the defense. The witnesses are put under oath and lying does carry the pains and penalty of perjury.
Second, it is that Watchtower says that they don't have control over CCJW or of congregations in the US since 2001. It is important that this is their argument. But that argument has worked in another state in a different type of tort case over a wrongful death lawsuit over a slip and fall.
