    The latest phase of the UK Charity Commission case included this:

    Subsequent to the opening of the inquiry, in a letter dated 10 July 2014, Mr Cook of the Watchtower informed the Respondent that the “disfellowshipping hearing” for Mr Rose had in fact been carried out by the Elders of a different Congregation, so the Charity had played no role in that process. Mr Cook (who is the in-house solicitor at the Watchtower) later elaborated on his own letter in a witness statement for the Tribunal. He explained that the “Circuit Overseer” had taken advice from a body called “The Christian Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses” (a non- charitable unincorporated association which provides spiritual guidance to congregations) about this issue. In accordance with that advice, he says “The Trustees of the New Moston Congregation...did not select the elders who conducted the disfellowshipping and had no control over the process they followed”.


    So "The Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses" CCoJW a none incorporated, none charitable association, instruct the CO who gets an alternative JC on the case. Now we see why the DOs have gone, why the CO is separated from the .ORG. The WT thinks it keeps itself at a distance from the nuts and bolts cong problems by using the CCoJW and COs. It is trying to insulate itself from the consequences of its actions.

    Who are the CCoJWs where are its offices, who are its principals. Am I being paranoid or is this the new attempt at hands off disinfectant bath trying to keep the hirearchy away from the dirt?

    Sort of sounds similar to the other child abuse cases. One of loop holes technicalities, and out right it wasn't me. I'm not surprised about the deletion of the DOs. Wt if you read this I hope it comes back and bites you on the arse.

    If the DOs are gone who does their job? How can they efficiently run the hierarchy?

    Had no control over the process they followed?

    What?

    So these elders didn't use the Shepherd the Flock book then?

    OK St George, who are they in the UK? Who are they in the US? Are they a division of WT? Who are the associates? They seem to me to be a faceless shell company to break the chain of responsibility to the GB.

    You're not being paranoid. Of course this is a way to keep WTS away from all the recriminations involved in objections to disfellowshipping and all of the child abuse accusations. Complete whitewash. Those of us who were in this organisation know the CCoJWs is the Watchtower Society but they are trying to convince the Charities Commision otherwise.

    And the charity commision asks that question of them, as to if they are a part of the charity and by what terms they are engaged by the charity. love to see the GB digging the hole even deeper!..

    It should alert the Charities Commission (C.C.) to the undeniable fact that the legally recognised Trustees of the Moston congregation [the Elders!] are actually controlled and directed by a faceless, unregistered "Trustee" - the C.O.

    I wish some court would just lay it on the line and say the equivalent of 'look SOMEONE is going down for this, so if you don't think you are the person who is responsible, point out who is and we'll make sure the right person is sanctioned.' And then sit back while they all point fingers at each other. They want the authority but not the responsibility.
