  So correct me if I'm wrong. This is 2 new new law suites this week e.g Connecticut & Texas. Please clarify. I reckon the GB must be soiling their undies at the moment. Clearly this has to be their biggest concern in the way moving forward.

  I can't help but think how different apostates are to the ideas that are drummed up the literature. When i was indoctrinated my idea of an apostate was a person who had resorted to mud slinging due to been kicked out as an unrepentant sinner. Yet in reality they can be the very ones been invited to witness gatherings.

  i had a look in the library last meeting and my hall still has all the bound volumes going right back to the beginning.

  including studies in the scriptures.

  i thought the order from on high was that these were to be destroyed or taken away?

  Like the catholic church the sex abuse cases certainly hurt them and shook up their operations but it hasn't finnished them. So to,will be the case with the WBTS.

  Oh I didnt realize was there orders issued from on high to get rid of all the old books. I was a bit annoyed the other day when I found out that my mother had gone through the garage getting ride of all the old books. I said she shouldn't of done that because some of thos old books can be worth some money now.

  It wouldn't surprise me if in the area where I live if 2 congregations get merged into 1. There has already been a couple of territory reshuffle over the last 10 years to redistribute publishers to stop a congregation finishing.

  Surprisingly as speaking on behalf of myself and others that I know. I have yet to have one elders visit after a year and a half ago of not attending. I personally know of a PO of a cong who walked and only 3 could be bothered to contact him. I think the idea of been hounded and hounded is a myth. Never has such lack of concern been do welcomed. Do it right and you will be surprised how quickly they will forget.

  The damage to their reputation and fear of members walking out on them should be of greater concern to them than any money settlements. If I was to show any of my relatives that court document about a hirachy of a religion intimidating victims not to go to police. They would be in disbelief. Sadly though they have got no idea of what's going on and will probably remain that way.
