Hi all
So my "bethalite" sister calls me last night for a chat (now I must digress slightly and say that conversations with my sister are few and far between - we have very little to say to each other and any calls to each other are merely out of duty)
After all the small talk, she tells me that she was doing stocktake in the tuckshop for a change instead of the usual housekeeping job that she is meant to do. I ask her why and she tells me that all the dept's within bethal who keep a supply of products have to do a stocktake in preparation for the big courtcase on Friday. So I ask what court case and she tells me that they are going to court because the government is wanting the JW's to be listed as a business and no longer a non profit organisation.
Apparently if they don't win the court case, then JW's here will have a problem, because we have employment equity laws here and this would mean that there would have to be a quota of "Sisters" on the branch commitee and other "unscriptural" things.
I am very curious to find out more about this court case and see how it plays out!
