One of many Theocratic Schools of Jehovah's Witnesses ------------------------------------------------------------------- Watchtower Bible School of Gilead is the formal name of the missionary school of Jehovah's Witnesses, typically referred to simply as Gilead or Gilead School.[1][2]Gilead is the flagship school at the Watchtower Educational Center at Patterson, New York, United States.[3][4][5] History In 1942, Nathan H. Knorr, then president of the Watchtower Society, proposed the Watchtower Bible School of Gilead as an opportunity to expand their global preaching efforts.[6] Originally intended as a temporary program,[7] the first class began on February 1, 1943. No tuition was to be charged. Five months later, graduating students began to move out to their assignments in nine Latin-American countries, including Cuba.[8] As early as 1956, graduates were serving "in about a hundred different lands".[9] Gilead School has held classes at several of the facilities operated by the Watchtower Society: Kingdom Farm in South Lansing, New York[10] from 1943 to 1960 Watch Tower Society headquarters in Brooklyn, New York from 1961 to 1988[11] Watchtower Farms in Wallkill, New York from 1988 to 1995;[12] and Watchtower Educational Center in Patterson, New York since 1995. As of 2014, Gilead has trained 136 classes.[13] In 2008, Gilead School surpassed 8000 students.[14][15][16] Encyclopædia Britannica notes that Gilead was intended to train "missionaries and leaders";[17] two current members of the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses are Gilead graduates,[18][19] as were four deceased members.[20][21][22][23] In 1987, an ancillary 8½ week Bible School for Single Brothers was introduced for single elders and ministerial servants (their term for deacons).[24][25][26] A similar Bible School for Christian Couples was introduced in 2010 for wives to attend with their husbands.[27] Curriculum and goals Theology lecturer George D. Chryssides writes that the initial Gilead syllabus was "described as the Advanced Course in Theocratic Ministry"; within months the program led to "similar training" in congregations as the Theocratic Ministry School.[28] Female Witnesses could enroll in Gilead school and present talks since its inception in 1943, but could not enroll in congregation schools until 1959.[29][30] The school is held twice each year and lasts about five months.[31] Students are selected by invitation, and are usually married couples in their thirties who have been involved in missionary work in their home countries for a number of years.[32]After graduation, they are assigned mainly to Africa, South America, Asia and islands in the Pacific Ocean. Gilead School's main textbook is the Bible. Lectures and student presentations focus on a verse-by-verse study of each book of the Bible, alternating between the Old and New Testaments, which they refer to as the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures. The curriculum is based on Jehovah's Witnesses' New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures, although other reference material, including other Bible translations are used.[33][34] Students are also taught about changes in culture and language as well as techniques for conducting meetings and Bible classes. Some students receive additional practical training for translation and literature production.[35] References ^ "Happy Climax to 80 Years of Gathering". The Watchtower: 22. 15 April 1986. ^ Merriam-Webster's Encyclopedia of World Religions (1999 edition), page 563 ^ Our Kingdom Ministry, December 1990, page 10 ^ 1993 Yearbook of Jehovah's Witnesses, page 25 ^ The Watchtower, November 15, 1999, pages 8-9 ^ The Encyclopedia Americana, Volume 20, ©2000 Grolier Incorporated, page 13, As Retrieved 2009-08-24, "[Knorr] established congregational Theocratic Ministry schools and the society's missionary college, the Watchtower Bible School of Gilead." ^ The Watchtower, June 15, 2001, page 26 ^ “Jehovah's Witnesses—Proclaimers of God's Kingdom” 1993, chap. 23 p. 522; “Missionaries Push Worldwide Expansion” © Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania ^ Interpretation, Volume 10, ©1956 Union Theological Seminary in Virginia, As Retrieved 2009-08-24, page 329 ^ Religion in the Twentieth Century by Vergilius Ture Anselm Ferm, ©1948, Philosophical Library, page 387, As Retrieved 2009-08-24 ^ "A New Home for the Gilead Missionary School". The Watchtower: 21. 1 June 1989. ^ The Watchtower, December 1, 1995, page 24 ^ The Graduation of the 136th Class of the Watchtower Bible School of Gilead ^ "Missionaries Encouraged to Be Like Jeremiah", The Watchtower, [he Graduation of the 136th Class of the Watchtower Bible School of Gilead February 15, 2009, page 22] ^ The Watchtower, August 15, 2008, page 30 ^ The Watchtower, November 1, 2001, page 23 ^ Watch Tower Bible School of Gilead.

New trials were ordered in the murder cases of (l to r) John Pacchiana, Christin Bilotti and Michael Bilotti, accused of the 2005 murder of Richard Rojas in Davie. A father, daughter and strip club bouncer convicted of murder in 2015 are entitled to a new trial because the judge on the case unfairly kept a Jehovah’s Witness off the jury, an appeals court ruled Wednesday. Michael and Christin Bilotti were convicted, along with John Pacchiana, of second degree murder in the death of Richard Rojas, a Miami teenager who, according to trial testimony, had been falsely accused of rape and burglary. From Our Partners: What To Know About The Active Shooter Situation At Florida High School But Broward Circuit Judge Jeffrey Levenson was wrong to keep a member of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, commonly known as Jehovah’s Witnesses, off the jury, according to the Fourth District Court of Appeal. Jehovah’s Witnesses are prohibited by their religion from certain civic activities, such as voting, serving in the military and reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, but the government is not permitted to force them into or prevent them from such activities. According to the religion’s website, participating on a jury is optional. But when a Jehovah’s Witness showed up on the panel for the Bilotti jury, prosecutor Gregg Rossman objected because other members of the group who report for jury duty routinely indicate it is against their religion to pass judgment. “They’ve always said they can’t sit in judgment,” Rossman said during jury selection. Levenson asked the juror whether she could serve. “If the evidence that’s provided to me is clear cut and concise, I would be able to,” the juror answered. The appeals court drew a distinction between common understanding of a group’s religious beliefs and an individual member's adherence to those beliefs. “The potential juror stated that she would follow the law and gave no indication that she would allow her status as a Jehovah’s Witness to affect her decision-making at all,” the court ruled. “In moving to strike her, the state merely relied on the juror’s membership in a religion without any testimony that it would actually affect her service as a juror.’’ Rojas, 18, was shot to death by Pacchiana outside Christin Bilotti’s Davie home in July 2005. Her father, who was divorced from her mother, was accused of setting up the murder after Christin accused Rojas of raping her. The rape, according to the prosecution, never took place. "I did not plan nor did I direct the harm of Mr Rojas, " Michael Bilotti said. Pacchiana has always said he was being attacked by Rojas when he opened fire. Christin Bilotti maintained she was raped by Rojas the afternoon before the shooting. "I did not make it up. Everything that happened was true," she said. Michael Bilotti and Pacchiana were convicted of first degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder. Each was sentenced to life in prison. Christin Bilotti, who was 17 at the time of the shooting, was convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to 30 years in prison. All three are entitled to new trials, the appeals court ruled. Rossman, who is no longer a prosecutor, said the appeals court ruling was disappointing but declined to comment further. The State Attorney’s Office also declined to comment. Defense lawyers H. Dohn Williams, who represents Pacchiana, and Fred Haddad, who represents Michael Bilotti, said the ruling raises significant constitutional issues and they wouldn’t be surprised if the prosecutors appeal to the state Supreme Court. Attorneys are not permitted to ask jurors about their religious beliefs, Williams said. If a juror can be excluded based on religion, attorneys should be permitted to ask about the issue, he said. The juror in this case volunteered the information on a questionnaire in response to a question about hobbies. http://www.sun-sentinel.com/local/broward/fl-sb-bilotti-convictions-overturned-20180214-story.html
