And?.... Update?
This news video report is from 8 September 2015
http://ktla.com/2015/09/08/santa-ana-man-charged-with-molesting-4-children-of-fellow-church-members/
The news report states that, when one of the young victims told a family member what happened, they informed the police.
tl;dr: if you live either in scotland or in other parts of uk and you don't mind traveling, you might be able to help a fellow ex-jw by being present during a courtcase where she alone has to face more than two dozens of jws who have ruined their business.
please contact me directly for details on when and where the court case will be held (i will know these details in few days probably).
ps.
And another week goes by and still no update....
Polish, more like Pledge Furniture Polish , all glistening and no substance
Wow, one thing I did not expect on these forums was hostility, guess I was wrong. Maybe this was not the best place to look for this kind of help...
Hmmm, yeah I know, the problem is this forum, we ask way too many questions - which is kinda awkward when all you want is a bit of confirmation bias
the jws strongly condemn any form of gambling or decision making that invokes luck or divination.
however, no where in the bible is the "casting of lots" which basically amounted to gambling specifically condemned.
also, many jws don't realize that jewish priests (levites) were instructed to make decisions using the urim and thummin which many scholars argue was a divination practice similar to casting lots..
Watchtower 1 February 1954
Check Your Memory
After reading this issue of “The Watchtower,” do you remember —
+ Why gambling cannot be justified by pointing to Israel’s casting of lots? page 95 paragraph 1.
Questions From Readers: Is gambling a violation of Bible principles? Is it wrong for a Christian to have secular employment in a gambling project, such as a legalized lottery or gambling house?
Religious organizations have sought to justify gambling by pointing to Israel’s casting of lots.....
i know they have slave labor free but it costs a lot to print, ship ect and then you have waste.
digital would cut costs.
i was thinking about this because my wife visited her mother an father who are still cult members.
Your Avatar is oscene.
The poster - dogon - has used the same Avatar for around two years now, so I'm sure Simon is perfectly happy with it.
Instead of shaking hands with each other, the two semi-naked guys are shaking each others 'something else'
It's a play on 'taking care of the little things'
That's Austrian politics....
The guys are both wearing ties, and have briefcases, so dogon may also be playing with a JW field ministry subtext.
so last night it was announced at the local hall that the ldc had decided against building a new hall, and that the existing hall would be "renovated.
the prospect of a new hall has been dangled before this congregation for at least 10 years now.
in fact, the congregation had already purchased property, had approval from the rbc for a new hall.
Hey breakfast of champions!
The prospect of a new hall has been dangled before this congregation for at least 10 years now. In fact, the congregation had already purchased property, had approval from the RBC for a new hall. . . .. and then everything changed (the RBC was dissolved and the LDC was instituted).
yeah, seems to be the same as what's happening here....

we are almost in 2017 and some 3 to 4 years have passed since the release of the 2013 revised nwt.
also, i am supposed to believe much money has been spent on rto's.
and as the end is even closer, i should have access to the "best translation ever" in my own language...how else can i be saved???.
Hey menrov!
So question is: WHEN IS THE NWT IN DUTCH AVAILABLE, be it in hard copy or just digital? What is holding them back?
Why don't you ask when you visit the the Dutch Bible Expo? And let us know afterwards?

" and a mighty cry went out over all the land: "sell !
sell !
sell !
Hey blondie!
Have to drive farther, too bad, many bethelites drive 30 to 50 miles to their congregations near Wallkill and Patterson.
Notice what notsurewheretogo 'complains' about today at this post
I've heard that they do not rent other towwn halls from quite far away...folks as far as Perth, Crieff etc have to travel a fair bit for their assemblies because he WT doesn't want to splash cash on nearer venues.
This is in Scotland, where they are used to travelling further - BUT Perth and Crieff are still only around 45 to 50 miles from Livingston, and assemblies are now only twice-a-year, NOT twice-a-week!

i think this deserves it's own thread, so as not to get mixed-up tl;dr - go to the bar charts at the end...picking up on jambon1's comments:.
the one in the op - livingston, was a merge to the newly built assembly hall in the same area.
i think three congs share that building now.. nice wee scoop up of the cash from the sale of livingston and whitburn.
I've re-checked Google StreetView from the main road and it shows it being built in 2012
November 2010 - initial groundworks

notsurewheretogo - Hated them...everything is about money, possessions etc to them.
jambon1 - Witnesses in the area are hyper-materialistic.
haha - two doors down!
