Don Adams grew up in a family that joined the Jehovah's Witnesses in Illinois in the 1940s, possibly to avoid military service during WWII. He became a full-time preacher for the organization and was later invited to serve at the world headquarters in Brooklyn, New York in 1944. By the 1960s, Adams served in high-level positions and helped direct missionary activities worldwide. Along with his brothers Joel and Karl Adams, they formed a powerful faction known as the "Adams Boys" who gained near-total control over the organization through their positions in key departments like Writing, Service, and the Executive Office. Their influence and control over policy and direction has grown over the years, eclipsing even
This document summarizes the presenter's observations from peer reviewing four councils on their progress towards level 3 of the Equality Standard. Some common strengths included clear corporate commitment to equalities, frontline staff addressing equalities in practical ways, and innovative practices. Common areas for improvement included developing equality impact assessments with community input, inconsistent progress across departments, difficulty evidencing achievements, and lack of future planning with partners. The presenter recommends councils focus on telling their equalities journey with evidence and consider a single equalities scheme over multiple plans.
The expert witness describes how two Jehovah's Witnesses discovered evidence of money laundering through their local congregation's bank accounts two years ago. When they reported it to the Watchtower organization and local authorities, they were threatened and ignored. The expert witness then helped uncover an identity theft scheme used to open bank accounts and launder money. Their lawsuit exposing the scheme was improperly dismissed due to corruption within the federal court system involving Jehovah's Witnesses in positions of influence. The expert witness maintains the Watchtower organization is actively engaged in criminal acts like money laundering and covering them up using their religious protections.
Scientists originally thought hunger was a simple motivational system driven by stomach contractions, but a 1912 study proposing this theory was later disproved since correlations do not prove causation. Researchers are still working to understand all the factors influencing hunger and eating behaviors.

The document discusses the Cairngorm framework, which is an open source framework for application architecture in Flex. It contains several key layers including the business layer, command layer, controller layer, model layer, view layer, and value object layer. The framework promotes separation of concerns between these layers and facilitates rapid development of Flex applications according to the model-view-controller pattern.
The document discusses the operations of the Regional Building Committee (RBC) which operates under the Watchtower Service Desk but with some autonomy. The California RBC seems to have the most power due to connections to individuals like Don Adams. Records are stored on Alan Lee's computer and the RBC members are not very intelligent. Passwords for Watchtower systems usually reference Bible scriptures. The document source provides names, addresses and numbers of RBC members and suggests ways to potentially access their systems and records.

The document discusses lessons learned from designing an app called ArtikPix for children with speech delays. Key points:
1. It is important to check design assumptions with experts like speech therapists to identify potential issues. Feedback revealed images could distract children with autism.
2. User testing is also critical, as it uncovered that allowing simultaneous playback and recording improved the app's usability.
3. Observing students revealed some had trouble pressing buttons consistently, so buttons were changed to work on initial touch instead of requiring touch and release.
Future work includes adding tutorials to help adults use the app and incorporating new features like video capture.
The survivor was molested by a ministerial servant at her Kingdom Hall as a child. When she told her parents, they only privately confronted the man, who admitted it, and made her father promise to "ignore" her. She attempted to live with her biological father but was raped by a neighbor at 16. Her mother refused to help and tried to give parental rights to the neighbor. The survivor endured a dangerous childbirth without blood and was threatened by her mother. She and her daughter have been shunned for over a year after leaving the Jehovah's Witnesses. The survivor describes enduring extensive trauma and abuse at the hands of her family and faith community while growing up in the organization.

The document summarizes Hampshire County Council's experience with an equality peer challenge assessment. It describes how the council initially resisted the standards but then focused senior leaders and members on equality. The council conducted an internal assessment, identified gaps, and developed an equality scheme. The peer assessment process was stressful but brought the council together. The results helped embed equality into the council's performance framework. When acting as peer assessors for other councils, the key is ensuring the reported activities are real and assessments focus on outcomes rather than just process.

1. [14:49] WT operate primarily out of california cause don adams is related
to people in the
[14:49] san carlos congregation he has a neice or cousin who attends there
[14:50] the surveillance expert they use to spy on jehovahs witnesses is
named
[14:50] bruce raditich
[14:50] he owns a surveillance company and he is used to tap phones and spy
on jw's who seem to be trouble makers
[14:50] he resides in sunnyvale, california
[14:51] he is an ex cop who went private and started his own surveillance
company
[14:51] the RBC which is the regional building committee
[14:55] usually when they launder its large chunks of money
[14:55] we found a deposit of 200,000 dollars made into wells fargo bank
[14:55] <Anonymous> I saw a mill on one of there hedg funds
[14:55] that then was transferred into the account of the japanese
congregation days later then it just vanished
[14:56] yeah the hedge funds are into the millions but when they launder on
a congregation level its usually in excess of
[14:56] 150,000 dollars
[14:56] the money goes into the accounts its held for a bit then vanishes
[14:57] <Anonymous> Who do you think takes it?
[14:57] which is why we subpoenaed the bank records only to find out a ton
of jehovah witnesses work inside wells fargo bank and they worked their
asses off to prevent us from getting
[14:57] the info
[14:57] under subpoena
[14:57] it is my understanding it goes back to the watchtower
[14:57] see it works like this
[14:57] they send the money to a congregation in some location
[14:58] they say its a gift so they don't have to report it as taxible
[14:58] then after the audit they require the congregation to transfer the
money back to the watchtower
[14:58] from there it goes into hedge funds
[14:58] and other places
[14:58] i have been on the money trail for ten months
[14:59] but to pull this off they have to have congregations in various
locations
[14:59] that way they can spread it out
[14:59] and if all congregations are required to only bank in certain
banking institutions it appears to be nothing more then an interbank
transfer
[15:00] and those do not alert the fdic or any governmental agencies
[15:00] as long as they all bank at the same bank say for example chase
bank
2. [15:00] you never know they are laundering
[15:00] and if someone gets wise to it they have jehovah witnesses who work
in the bank
[15:00] who can help to cover the tracks or deny a subpoena
[15:00] judge james made a court order for all the bank records from chase
bank
[15:01] and wells fargo bank once we showed her the 200,000 dollar deposit
that mysteriously vanished
[15:01] she signed the order and three weeks later the case was forced
closed
[15:01] apparently certain clerks signed an order that APPEARED to be from
judge james dismissing the case
[15:02] but they were forged and did not come from judge james
[15:02] but they were willing to take that risk to prevent us from getting
the bank records
[15:02] certain accounts are used for certain things within the watchtower
[15:02] rumor has it that they have like their own
[15:03] witness relocation program, meaning if someone is accused of being
a pedophile and the evidence looks credible they will
[15:03] allocate money to that individual and get him out of town
[15:03] i believe they use chase bank for the laundering of big funds
[15:03] and wells fargo for incidential shit that comes up like getting
someone out of town
[15:03] then when you ask about that person you are told they are on
special assignment for the ministry
[15:03] and you never see them again
[15:04] a letter is sent to the local congregation they move into and the
letter states this brother was accused of blah blah but they are innocent
and please protect them and assure their privacy
[15:04] one of the main guys that they did this with was paul koehler
[15:05] he was a circuit overseer and when it was apparent he would have to
testify
[15:05] he vanished
[15:05] when the judge asked where he was the watchtower lawyer anthony
smith claimed he was on special assignment in chicago and could not be
reached
[15:06] like i said, our case was forcibly dismissed to prevent us from
getting the things under court order we filed for
[15:06] the clerk who aided them in dismissing the case has also vanished
from the san francisco court house
[15:06] her name was brenda tolbert
[15:07] we were never sure if she was a jehovah witness or someone who just
took a payoff to sabotage the case
[15:07] ironically the san francisco court is aware of all of this and they
have a real dilemna cause they don't want the new case to go forward cause
it will expose the clerks
3. [15:07] but they cant find a reason to dismiss it that will look legitimate
[15:07] so they have decided to continue the case for as long as they can,
we wont have a first court date for months now
[15:08] i guess to buy the watchtower time to figure out what to do
[15:09] not to mention they have threatened several reporters to prevent
them from writing any stories about this in the newspaper
[15:13] the watchtower only fears one thing we found out well two things
[15:13] the media and the IRS
[15:14] during the depositions we gave they demanded to know exactly who we
talked to about the money laundering and even went so far as to ask for a
physical description of the agents we spoke to
[15:14] they have much covered
[15:14] if say something comes up involving the FBI they have a witness to
handle that
[15:14] his name is Don Maynor
[15:15] his father was an FBI agent who actually worked in the FBI's cult
division and it was his job to spy on and infiltrate the watchtower to find
out more about their goings on
[15:15] Maynor followed in his dads footsteps but the opposite way
[15:16] he handles any legal issues that may arise involving local law
enforcement or with the feds
[15:16] like i said we learned alot in our lawsuit and the watchtower
forced the guys to sign a confidentiality order
[15:16] ironically i was out of the country when the order was signed so i
am not bound by the order in any way
