well the shit has finally hit the fan here in chanda for the jws.. an hour long investigative journalist program called w5 went deep into the jws's pedophilia cover up problems that have been on going for decades within the jws religion.. .
i think its good thing for the public to realize how religions can and will coverup egregious acts which are serious crimes in most countries just to up hold a clean wholesome image around their organizations.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1zlhbk6ihm.
Normalfulla: how popular is this channel, I have no idea about Canadian tv
CTV is a major national TV channel in Canada
CTV's W5 has a solid reputation right across Canada and they have built that for over 5 decades.
From their website:

A W5 broadcast in Canada is a pretty big deal. Their reputation is accuracy of documentary reporting

i have always wondered why there are more females than males in all of the congregations that i have visited?
some of these females are in their 70's so maybe their husbands have died and women just live longer.
or could the reason be that years ago men were the breadwinners and women stayed home to raise the children thus they were home during the week when the jdubs came a knocking?
Could it be that women are wired differently than males and have a stronger leaning toward spiritual things compared to males?
I don't buy into the "wired different" nonsense
It is cultural.
We live in a patriarchal society, regardless of the religion being followed and regardless of the culture that religion falls within. Inside of a patriarchal culture, women are groomed to be dependent and there is no better co- dependent structure than religion.
Women gravitate towards religion simply because it offers them a source of perceived personal power. Religion is their "penis"
if we eliminate all the controversial and confusing verses attributed to jesus we will get the crystal clear truth from him because his source was (1) god which can be seen from his habit of early morning talking to god in prayer (mark 1:35; john 8:1, 2) which would not have been for material blessings (mathew 6:8; 16:24), and (2) also observance of people.. 1) jesus who said judgment is based on whether we acted humanely or not (mathew 25:31-46) would not have spoken about god’s people and pagans (which means bulk of the things found in gospel had not been spoken/done by jesus).. 2) another important truth he said was about the real key to our happiness which he said is with each one of us.
(luke 17:21).
from his observance of history, he knew there are people from adversities who made great contribution to the world; and there are people from all abundance who lived a life of wastage accomplishing nothing; and there are people who are mixed in varying degree.

has anybody heard anything about this new store?
[link removed].
It is the case, Morph.
In fact, nonprofits are encouraged to find creative ways to raise money and licensing deals are certainly on the drawing board
The nonprofit industry has expanded lots in the past couple decades. Huh. You can even do university classes and get a degree in nonprofit management now, or so I am told. I haven't dug into it it much. I had my fill of the nonprofit sector a few years back.

Morph: A licensing fee isnt off the books
Of course.
But you are dealing with the WT
"Licensing fee" could very well mean "donation". You know... "voluntary" (wink wink)
Just give it a label and let er fly
*by the way...it is perfectly acceptable for charities to collect royalties and licensing fees

I'm pretty sure the WTBS could collect licensing fees on its logo without jeopardizing their tax free status.
Uhmmm.... why do you think that?
haha! That's easy...under the table deal - pay us "donations" (a percentage of your take - wink wink) or you will be "going against Jehobah".
Easy peasy - donate or get disfellowshipped - plenty of loyal JWs to take your place at the store
here in spain we have just had a special visit from the central branch representative (well i'm not sure what his position is) and in his talk he mentioned an episode in which an apostate and his supporters were expelled from bethel in the early 30s under rutherford's rule.
i didn't catch the name, it was something like "shutter" or "shulter".
this event was mentioned to bring attention to a woman who was very close to this apostate and just because of that she was unfairly expelled from bethel as well, but she was "humble" and "content" enough to leave the matter on jehovah's hands and she was reaccepted in bethel after a while.
