An innocent picture of a city in my country, Spain. The pic says everything. Many JW are really disgusted about everything, even their new preaching cart.
A trustful source has informed me today that an important city in Spain is preparing to require all carts to obtain a licence to use the public areas, an insurance for civil claims and a clear identification of the owner of them...
Again a very hard day for JW.org
https://congreshal.nl/.
built in 1966, renovated 4 times since last in 2011, they then built a new one for eur 8m and sold this one.. roughly translated: the foundation for building and exploitation of congregation buildings of jehovah's witnesses (department bennekom) is happy to announce the sale of the congregation hall at edesweg 147 in bennekom.. the well maintained building of approximately 5700 sq meters divided in two layers with approximately 300 parking places on included property offers great possibilities for various fits.. on the edge of the "food valley" and "knowledge axis" lays the place bennekom currently fully under development.
both the reachability and the compartments of the buildings offer the space for various fits and cooperation between interested parties.. .
Impressive !!!

Jehovah's Witnesses asked to hide a one-million-euro entrepreneurial hole at a Northern Spain supply firm. The cult appealed to the "peace" of the congregation to pressure the co-owners of the firm and prevent them from reporting the case to ordinary justice.
The case concerns a well-known construction supplies company based in a large northern city. The company, founded in 1975, belongs to a family that has been a member of the Witnesses since it was born.
When one of the parents died in 2014, one of the daughters inherited a share in society. The rest of the capital remained in the hands of his relatives.
"ONE MILLION EUROS"
When the citizen received the shareholding inheritance, she discovered a remarkable puff in the firm in what seemed a solvent company, according to the documents to which this newspaper has been able to access.
According to the documents in the hands of several congregations of Witnesses in the northern area, the partner would have discovered the suspicious sale of an industrial warehouse and diversion of funds.
Likewise, the creation of a very similar company with a similar name emerged, a redirected web portal and an identical telephone. With this stratagem, the parallel merchant would have taken the goodwill, the merchandise and the clientele.
The complainant estimates that the loss caused by the alleged unfair administration totals one million euros, 400,000 euros in diverted funds and 600,000 in goods transferred to society B.
THE WITNESSES SUGGEST TO BE SILENT
As a Jehovah's Witness by birth, the neighbor came to the internal justice of the millenarian cult. Its first complaint of 2014, to which this newspaper was able to accede, suggested that its partners had committed fraud, unfair competition and irregular administration.
The response of the head office of the denomination in Spanish Bethel was very clear. "We want to encourage you to apply the biblical principles in all your decisions and not to be carried away by the emotions," says the letter.
SECOND COMPLAINT
Not content with the answer, the affected ones took another step. They sent an official letter to the headquarters of the Witnesses in which they insisted on indications of fraud. In addition, they called for the creation of an internal committee to investigate what happened.
Again, the leadership of the cult responded ( letter enclosed ) calling on the family to avoid ordinary justice. "Is the money and the rights, or the peace and family unity of the congregation more important to us?" asks a passage from the response letter.
"We are sure," continues the letter, "that as Christians who wish to do things in Jehovah 's way you will strive to follow these and other advice."
PRESSURES
In the rest of the documentation, the affected people emphasize the pressures received.
As the documents read, the businesswoman is affiliated with the denomination's internal justice administration circuit that has been relentless with her even though she would have delivered money to the family society when she needed it.
According to the latest communication with Spanish Bethel, the citizen has now turned to the Witnesses legal department at the world headquarters in the United States to try to reopen the investigation.

@Vidiot
Getting out of the radar of JW and being requested by written 5 years later to follow a judicial audience is in fact a "persecution"...

Barcelona, March 8, 2017
The Ombudsman requires the Attorney General's Office to act on sexual abuses within Jehovah's Witnesses.
The #AbusosTJ project was born in Barcelona in October 2016. It is a project promoted by different victims of sexual abuse within Jehovah's Witnesses. Several media and national newspapers collected several months ago different testimonies of this type of abuses and how the religious group has silenced other cases.
On December 15, 2016, several Jehovah's Witnesses who were victims of abuse have requested protection from the Government. We send a letter to the Minister of Justice, Rafael Catalá, to find out if there are parallel courts in Spain. #AbusosTJ refers to the so-called judicial hearings of this confession, which judge cases of sexual abuse without any guarantee. These internal hearings of the Jehovah's Witnesses judge Spanish citizens every week without any kind of control.
We sent a copy of this formal communication to the Vice-Presidency of the Government, the Deputy Ombudsman and the Justice Commissions of the Congress of Deputies and the Senate, demanding that the minister act immediately.
We have recently learned that the Ombudsman has accepted our complaint and has asked the Attorney General's Office to act immediately.
At all times #AbusosTJ has assessed that the facts are sufficiently serious for the State Attorney General to intervene. Victims of abuse have asked the Public Prosecutor's Office to order the seizure and protection of the integrity of the files of sexual abuse that the religious group has collected over the years.
We affirm, as indicated in the protocols and written instructions of the religious confession, that the national headquarters of Jehovah's Witnesses in Spain located in Ajalvir (Madrid) and the different local congregations in our country maintains files generated by a protocolized system of data regarding the different cases of sexual abuse within the religious group.
In the coming months, #AbusosTJ will organize actions in European institutions and a seminar at European level to give visibility to this situation to the European bodies, like the Parliament and the European Commission.
