  1. For those wonderful and compassionate friends (active JW's) of JTR that was charged for felony child porn, his court date has been set for arraignment on December 3, 2020. For those of you that have never understood secular law, this is where JTR will plea “guilty” or “not guilty” to the 4 counts he has been charged with. If he pleads guilty, he will have a final hearing with the court's recommendation. If he pleads not guilty, court will set the agenda for pretrial.
  2. I will correct a mistake, its 4 counts of child porn. Now, before 2013 each State had their own scale in age on what child porn was. Some states had it at 13 years and under, some had it at 9 years and under. After 2013 the Federal Government made it at 18 YEARS and under. So, let’s NOT presume to know what the age level on the charge is. I think the point here, where's the outrage when people rebuke, the Watchtower. Where’s the slander, the condemnation of him being part of the Org. Instead, there is a soft appeal. I am waiting to read someone accuses the watchtower and elders for the action of this individual. In the USA, the presumption is, innocent until proven guilty. In other countries like Australia, Canada, UK, the presumption should be the same. But times have changes since 2013. Now, the presumption for such crimes is, guilty until proven innocent. Since the accusation is, about possessing child porn and “distribution” of that material, then it should be noted that most of the time, it comes from internet traffic. Meaning, he was under surveillance after he was “flagged” to be doing things over the internet that were questionable. Therefore, the State has a strong case. Most likely to avoid prison time, James will plead out to “guilty” as charged. Once again, the only person James hurt was himself, no one else if anyone is alleging. Whoever he forward that material to, will most likely be getting a knock at their door soon. Sentencing guidelines for 4 counts of child porn in North Carolina is 4-6 years in prison, or 5 years’ probation. Penalty and fines. Court Cost. They can break it down to 4-6 years in prison, serve 2 years and get released for good behavior and be placed on probation for the rest of his sentence. Probation means, no active life. No smoking, no drinking, no drugs unless approved by the PO, no interaction with families that have children, no social interaction with children outside the family circle. Needs to stay away at least 100-300 feet (ca. 91 m) with kids when grocery shopping or other matters such a kingdom hall if he doesn't blame the Watchtower for his downfall and action as customary with some. Will need to live at least 1-2 miles (3.22 km) away from any school or child institution zone. Needs to report to his PO, whichever the court decides by, day, week, bimonthly, month, get drug tested, no internet access through any form of media, pay for probation. Sentence will include “community service” ranging from 250 hours and above. Behavioral Counseling. His name and address goes into a sex offender registry that will follow him regardless where he is allowed to move for the rest of his natural life. Failure to comply with any of these provisions can land him, being violated (revoked) and sent back to prison. The most common ones are DRINKING and internet access. As far as I can see, this is James first offense on this matter which will work in his favor.
  3. It seems Allen Smith called it in the past and was deleted for speaking up, as many do here about such behavior. The condemnation is strong unless a beloved friend becomes, involved. https://bustedncmugshots.com/rook-james-thomas-mugshot-8-16-2020-424-pm-gaston-county-north-carolina/ I will not disparage his person other than to say, regardless if he is convicted or not, he can still “repent” in order to save his soul while contemplating his past actions should it end that way of being judged and sentenced by a government he imagined of. Unfortunately, no one, be it a former member or a present one can defend an action coming from human imperfection. This is why God choose to put those words in scripture, because those opposed to structured law be it from man’s law or God’s law, anyone can fall victim to Satan’s influence. My heart goes out to his family with such a human trail. § 14-190.17. Second degree sexual exploitation of a minor. (a) Offense. – A person commits the offense of second degree sexual exploitation of a minor if, knowing the character or content of the material, he: (1) Records, photographs, films, develops, or duplicates material that contains a visual representation of a minor engaged in sexual activity; or (2) Distributes, transports, exhibits, receives, sells, purchases, exchanges, or solicits material that contains a visual representation of a minor engaged in sexual activity. (b) Inference. – In a prosecution under this section, the trier of fact may infer that a participant in sexual activity whom material through its title, text, visual representations or otherwise represents or depicts as a minor is a minor. (c) Mistake of Age. – Mistake of age is not a defense to a prosecution under this section. (d) Punishment and Sentencing. – Violation of this section is a Class E felony. (1985, c. 703, s. 9; 1993, c. 539, s. 1197; 1994, Ex. Sess., c. 24, s. 14(c); 2008-117, s. 4; 2008-218, s. 3.) § 14-190.17A. Third degree sexual exploitation of a minor. (a) Offense. - A person commits the offense of third degree sexual exploitation of a minor if, knowing the character or content of the material, he possesses material that contains a visual representation of a minor engaging in sexual activity. (b) Inference. - In a prosecution under this section, the trier of fact may infer that a participant in sexual activity whom material through its title, text, visual representations or otherwise represents or depicts as a minor is a minor. (c) Mistake of Age. - Mistake of age is not a defense to a prosecution under this section. (d) Punishment and Sentencing. - Violation of this section is a Class H felony. (1989 (Reg. Sess., 1990), c. 1022, s. 1; 1993, c. 539, s. 1198; 1994, Ex. Sess., c. 24, s. 14(c); 2008-117, s. 5; 2008-218, s. 4.) Thus far, the State is charging him with 3 counts of sexual exploitation of pornographic material, not interaction with a physical child. The States argument is Child Porn. If he gets a good lawyer since this is a criminal offense, he can get 3 years probation. However, he will need to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life. This is the argument brought before the courts. How excessive is the punishment against the crime.
  4. That's true. That's why he wrote the book to begin with, since he had already been removed as an overseer. Just like Raymond Franz, his thinking on matters of God belong to those that have fundamental flawed views about scripture. In other words, those in spiritual responsibility let it go to their heads instead of sticking to scripture. I've seen enough Elders and Ministerial Servants, they believe they understand scripture while not realizing how far they have gone from scripture. Usually, those are the ones with a greater voice, but then again, so does the devil. So, it wasn't a surprise. Now he can concentrate on apostate books like the rest of them. Maybe he will get some pointers from "Floyd" lol!
