    The current Awake (Dec. 8) is about Taxes!

    It seems to go to special pains to say that you MUST pay your taxes no matter

    how unfair they are.

    I would assume that this article was approved for publication because the $68 MILLION

    DOLLAR TAX BILL from France is about to be paid - unless they actually score a miracle

    and walk away from it.

    BUT IF NOT..... this represents an ENORMOUS OPPORTUNITY TO DEFEAT

    THE WATCHTOWER!! This article could be devastating if sent to French and

    European Union offices , demonstrating a cavalier and grossly hypocritical

    attitude towards tax compliance.

    Tell me which - I'm ready to call the nearest embassy

    As you point out, they would not say it unless they are going to pay it.

    Probably why they are selling some facilities.

    Met [edited to: finish my text],

    It's a no-brainer. Both!

    Will you be attaching a letter as well? You know, basically breaking it down for them?

    "... to him who calls for the tax, the tax, to him who calls for the tribute, the tribute."

    How often they quoted those words. Looks like the birdie is coming home to roost, and it's going to cost them a bundle!

    Yes! You may have a point!

    There could be value in pointing out Watchtower deception and moral expediency

    to sensitive political entities.

    Tax Attaché
    Christiane Maréchal

    The Tax Attaché represents the French Tax Administration in matters concerning tax legislation and treaties. The "competent authority" for the exchange of information between France and the United States, France and Canada, and France and Mexico. The Tax Attaché's office (Christiane Maréchal -Joëlle Hoffman) is also in charge of resolving difficulties relating to the implementation of tax agreements between France and theses countries.

    Well Met, I've often thought how well you do just THAT. Post upon post.

    Why not give it a go and see what results in the attempt of sending the actual article; magazine itself, accompanied with a letter only you can detail re: the deception and corruption? Don't forget to include the lethal policies.

    Write the letter and make copies. Send them everywhere.

    What's the worst that can happen?

    Go get 'em tiger!

    Is it actually possible that the Society is going to conceal their payment of this tax bill?

    Maybe they're embarassed by the loss.

    Is it otherwise possible that this article is a product of internal Watchtower factionalism and

    that it's a "dig" at some GB members? Similar to some past abuse articles?

    They can go either way...

    1. Pay, but protest about religious freedom.
    2. Pay and gloat about how they "Paid their due taxes and tributes" while conveniently forgetting to mention how they fought it tooth and nail.
