"The poor will always be with us" said our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The job of his disciples was to spread the news of God's Kingdom, and happy to say that has indeed become our trademark. There is much to be said for the scores of people that have accepted our gospel and their lives and economy has improved dramatically by taking responsibility for their actions and working as expected.
The abusers issue is of no consequence. There will always be abusers and predators among any one conglomerate. The Org just has to come to terms with implementing a new guidance to turn these people to the local authorities. That is coming. When it happens within a family that just happens to be JWs, well perhaps the religion factor is irrelevant. Predators/abusers are everywhere regardless.
Actually, for the number of existing JWs, the number of abuse cases is really minuscule. In our four generation JWship, I have never dealt with a case of pedophilia in any of the many Spanish congs I have served.
You all just need to learn to accentuate the positive of life in general. It makes for so much more happiness overall.

i saw this exact headline on jw-archive.org and couldn't find no other info about it.
anyone know anything?.
possible hoax ha ha.. .
This craziness was started by this online board and it continues on only here. The misinformation here is astounding! Reminds me of the stupidity of Fox News.
Silly.

Of course there will always be gripes and complaints. It is not a perfect arrangement as nothing of human making is.
I am as ready to cry as to rejoice, depending on the particular topic.
The contribution/donation bit, we sure got it right and most are so green with envy!

if you don't know, km's are now online too.
under the heading, "i cannot find him at home again!
" it mentions how a text message or email is to be counted as a return visit.
'Do-Nothing' people and yet we continue to prosper. Ain't that just swell?!
Things are getting better and better; the path gets clearer as time goes on. Stick around y'all!!!

Many preach through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, all available. Hey, just getting with the techno times! Counting service time is easier than ever!

Our efforts have provided us with beautiful places of worship here and all over the world, more than enough to help when disasters hit, hey, even for paying for the mistakes made for not turning in abusers to the authorities, truth be told. However, one must use common sense and intelligence when donating. We as a family unit usually donate as applicable for the monthly KH expenses and during the assemblies we donate $10 per person/per day; this sound quite reasonable and extremely affordable at this time. A heck of slot less than those crazies that give 10 percent of their earnings!
It is pathetic to see church members on street corners asking for money to fund their crap, or the silly parking lot, baked goods, etc., sales to gather funds. The way JWs do it is very dignified and thus far is working magnificently for us.

its been done for a long time.
relieved with the idea of finally being free without the fight.

Hi,
Another one bites the dust. One more statistic.
All situations in life have pros and cons. May the next life arrangement provide you with more 'pros'.
Be well,

syneidos posted some interesting information on reddit regarding jw.org's latest project for the upcomming 2015 memorial campaign.. for next year's 2015 memorial campaign, jw.org is producing an invitational video featuring jesus.
the video is still being filmed at the moment and i was told it was super "confidential.
" my source already saw several scenes from it and said, "it looks and feels like a cinematic movie.
The only thing that kept going through my mind is the Org requiring us JWs to show this on our electronic devices to the people in our territory as we invite them to the memorial. Well, it should be interesting!

Move to where the need is great for preaching work, or, come volunteer in the new Org construction sites.
