    On page 41 of "Crisis of Conscience", it is asserted
    that the Governing Body debated:

    "issues about the
    Society's existing practice of using irregular channels
    to funnel money into certain countries(Indonesia as one
    example) in a way that would gain greater value for the
    American dollars involved, doing this even though the
    particular country had laws ruling this illegal; also
    as to getting certain equipment into some countries
    without having to pay the heavy import tax imposed by law."

    There have been rumors about this for some time - currency
    manipulations that could get them into trouble. Somebody
    knows about this and isn't talking......

    Metatron,

    You refer to that quote as having come from page 41 of the "Crisis of Conscience" book.

    I can't seem to find it in my copy?? Unless we have different editions? Mine is copyright year 2000.

    Hi Metatron, my COC is out on loan. Could you post the page? It doesn't surprise me. Paying 'Caesars things to Caesar' was never a WTS strong point.

    Yes. It is in my copy of COC.
    Bottom of pg.41. Carried over to pg.42.

    Speaking of coincidence - I just received a new edition copy of COC from commentary press and read that page this morning. It helps to re-read - I am getting a lot more of the flavor of what went on than more first read over 2 years ago. Probably because at the time, I was inactive but had thoughts of moving to another area and starting over. No way, no how now!

    Curious too if anyone has insight on this passage!

    Unless it's written in invisble ink, it's not on page 41 in my book. I have the 2000 edition. Page 42 is another chapter altogether.
