Elders Ordered to Give Evidence in Sex Scandal Trial
by jw07 inhttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2365992/gordon-leighton-child-abuse-trial-orders-jehovahs-witness-leaders-evidence.html.
church elders refused to comment on a child abuse scandal because they had a 'duty to god' to keep the sex attacker's confession a secret, a court heard.. jehovah witness ministerial servant gordon leighton admitted sexually abusing a child when he was confronted with allegations before elders at his church,newcastle crown court heard.. but during the official police investigation the 53-year-old, who hit the headlines in the 1990s when his wife yvonne, 28, died after refusing a blood transfusion after childbirth on religious grounds, denied any illegal wrongdoing.. when detectives asked elders simon preyser, harry logan and david scott to make statements about the confession, all three refused and said what they had heard was confidential.. the elders knew about the admissions for three years, but refused to cooperate with the criminal investigation, the court heard.. .
the trio kept that stance when the case was brought before newcastle crown court.

The Watchtower Society Cripples Their Own Preaching Work
by Nosferatu inif there's one scripture that defines the entire purpose of a jehovah's witness's existence, it's matthew 24:14.
"this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.".
this is the entire purpose of going door to door.

Another kid just lost her education to JWs. Know there's gossip going round about me. My fabulous non-JW family. More.
by Julia Orwell ini didn't think any of these things really deserved their own threads, so i've cobbled some random observations, incidents and reflections together.
some are sad, like those poor jw school kids i know, and some are warm, like my friendship with my mother.. a year 10 girl who was enrolled in the a level science class was absent: i noticed because i used to be good friends with her jw mother, who recently ranted at me and unfriended me on fb.
i've supervised a couple of aisha's* classes this year, and found her to be a quiet sort of kid who gets on with her work.

The Inflexible Pipe Dreaming Governing Body, New Boys, The Hands Of A Few Without A Clue,
by frankiespeakin inhere we have a completely dumbed down rank and file from which to choose leadership.
after years of a steady diet of misinformation/propaganda which demonizes the world in general and make going to college a cause for removal of priviledges, the brain drain must be enormous, with critical thinking at an all time low and the information age just starting to get in to full swing the future looks bleak for these ceos that run the corporation.
only black and white thinking allowed at the their board meetings, a bunch of yes men being surrounded by a bunch of rubberstamping yes men getting deeper and deeper entrenched in group think, nobody feels comfotable to speak their mind least the be labeled apostate and be burned at the stake/df'd.

What on earth happened to the magazines?
by slimboyfat infor the first time in years today.
to say that it took me five minutes to read the whole thing would be to flatter the rag.
it doesn't even seem to contain actual articles any more, just headings and bullet points and pictures.
