Is it clergy privilege?
by StarTrekAngel injust wanted to pose the question to the group and see what the general opinion is vs what the wt may have claimed in other cases.. we all know that they have argued over clergy privilege when elder learn of a crime but keep quiet about it.
regardless of what one may feel about this, lets assume for a minute that they are correct.. all elders are directed to contact the branch when they learn of a case of child abuse.
would the conversation between the elder and the branch be considered under the "clergy privilege"?

Help me spread the word. Local TV station looking for abuse survivors willing to share story. Deep South Texas area
by StarTrekAngel inyou all may recall a recent news article i posted.
it was about a bus driver who abused several school children.
while the news never really dived into his personal life, i did mention here that he is a well known elder to the hall i used to attend.. two new charges have been brought against him and now the bail is up to $420,000.

Random Musing of an ex-JW between a rock and a hard place.
by StarTrekAngel inmany of you may recall pass postings of mine where i mentioned my plans of moving away from my current neighborhood.
mainly because my office got moved and now my commute is about one hour each way.
my employer is pretty flexible so showing up on time, for now, is not an issue.

Yay! I get to go to the memorial this weekend
by StarTrekAngel ini kind of expected it.
this is an event that even satan himself could attend.
yes, if the wt don't quit blaming satan for everything, soon he will be more qualified for mercy than the f&d slave himself (or themselves).

Random Musings of an ex-JW in a boring meeting
by StarTrekAngel in[sorry for the long post].
i have been eagerly waiting to find another opportunity to write here.
i am somewhat done just ranting about the usual stuff that comes out of the watchtower society and its continuous, relentless futile effort to look like or resemble the organization that their alleged god would accept and proclaim as his own.

JC letter of invitation. Do they always get signed?
by StarTrekAngel ini was just shown a jc letter from a friend and i noticed that the bottom of it was signed by tree elders.
the letter specifically stated that it was an invitation to a "judicial committee" due to the brother having a marital relationship that was not aligned with bible principles.. i am asking because i remember reading experiences of brothers who demanded their jc be arranged over certified mail with signed letters to which elders refused to do.
since they could not get this done the matter was dropped and no dfing ever happened.

Random thoughts of an ex-JW on a coffee break
by StarTrekAngel inlately i have been finding myself doing a lot of thinking.
not that i am smarter than the keurig coffee maker in my office, which lately has made me reevaluate the perception of my professional career.
somewhere along the way between winding down my relationship with my now ex-boss and starting a new one with my current boss, i noticed that the machine complaints with a message on a touchscreen….
