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.

Pornography is Bad in Facebook, and Jehovah's Eyes
by jw07 inthank jehovah for facebook - sarcasm.
since i'm still 'in' for the time being, one of my pass times is browsing through the facebook profiles of jehovah's witnesses on my list, as well as friends' of theirs.
in particular i take note of their photos and comments, as well as pages they like and how those choices betray the squeaky clean images that they love to portray.

JW Grammar is...
by jw07 in*we are all from different cultural and educational backgrounds, we all experience different circumstances in life, and i don't mean to offend anyone on this forum in any way.*.
with that said here are my observations, and i want to know what you have observed.. in my experience i have noticed a trend: zealous witnessestend to exhibit the worst grammar when compared to non-witnesses!.
i want you to think back, or check it out for yourself if you haven't noticed it.. on social networks: compare comments on anything by jws (especially the uber-zealous ones) with those of your atheist or other religiously affiliated friends.

What happens before a Judicial Committee?
by jw07 ini can't get into much detail, but i might have been caught doing something natural and fun that the gb would have a fit over.
(i'm not sure at this point if i was seen).
the elders have called a meeting of the entire body tonight, which is strange since they usually meet on weekends.. i've been worrying and sweating like crazy since then, which i think is the programmed jw guilt switch in my mind going off like crazy.. what i want to know is:.

Research Our Spiritual Heritage Only From OUR VIDEOS
by jw07 insince last week jws have been presented with study material which slyly revises the history of the watchtower organization through omission and twisting of history.
among the tactics is clever wording to draw parallels between jw practices today and supposed true servants of god in the past in order to justify current policy.
for instance presenting as fact that there was a defined governing body operating in ancient times.. pa1: "during a milestone governing body meeting in jerusalem in 49 c.e., the disciple james said: symeon [peter] has related thoroughly how god for the first time turned his attention to the nations to take out of them a people for his name.".
