Looking for a BOE letter...
by LFitzwater inwe had an elder visit my husband this weekend and he said that the wts has given the elders new direction on the handling of child molestation but that he could not tell us what it said because it was confidential.
i'm sure someone has posted this and it is probably more bs.
i told my husband they tell the elders it is cofidential because it gives the elders a sense of power knowing they have info that the rank & file don't have.

Timing of pPersonal Stories
by 95stormfront inpeople here post a lot of personl stories about things that happen to them with their witness family members.
but what about the timing of these activities..... i know a lot of people here have to be very careful of what they post.
they either have family they're trying to convince to leave or they're posting here just to keep sane while the jw lifestyle swirls around them.

IS THE WATCHTOWER GUILTY OF TREASON?
by Dansk inmy dictionary defines treason thus: the crime of betraying one's country, especially by attempting to overthrow the sovereign or government.. queen elizabeth ii is the united kingdom's reigning monarch and she is also head of the anglican church.
now, as we all know, jws are forbidden to go to war to defend their country and they are also proud of the fact that their ministry includes presenting the watchtower and awake magazines.
the watchtower, especially, has frequently depicted various governments being overthrown by jesus and the jws believe that unless one becomes a jw one will die at armageddon - and that includes queen elizabeth ii, all her family and her uk government.. in other countries, monarchs, presidents, spiritual leaders and all their followers are threatened with complete annihilation.. surely, espousing such a message is tantamount to treason and, as far as i know, this law has never been repealed in the uk.

Need some legal advice(UK)
by Gadget inmy brother is having some problems with a violent ex-boyfriend, which resulted in him getting beaten up last weekend.
he's been to the police about it, and they adviced him to take out a restraining order, which would mean his ex would be arrested if he came within 200 yards of him, but this would cost 1500 pounds to get a solicitor to arrange this.
he cannot afford this, and is not eligable for legal aid.

Can we expect a WT 'report' from Iraq soon?
by nicolaou in.
.
leaving all the politics to one side, now that britain and the us are recognised and sanctioned as iraq's 'occupying forces' i would imagine that the watchtower would have the freedom to publish a report on it's activities there in the next worldwide report and yearbook.. do you think they will?

by core inseems so long ago, 1975, lots happened to us all since but not the promised big a and a new system - what we get now is bethelites made redundant, no sign of a promise fulfilled, and yet millions still adhere to the wt.
and still in front of us is 2014 - how will; the wt big that up'.
1975 has been made redundant like hundreds of bethelites - as far as i know the year has not been mentioned for - well 35 years now.
