If they are coming to you on hearsay, then tell them that the WT says that the Bro/Sis making the accusation is to approach you first. Not go and get the Elders involved first. You know; Mat 18 and all....

What if you were the victim? What if one of your children, or one of your siblings, or their children were the victim?
Let's start with YOU as the victim. You go to your parents and tell them "So-and-so molested me!" Then your parents said, "Thank you for telling us dear child, now forgive him and ask him to get help." Do you think this "pedo" will get help willingly, or will others means have to interceed to get him the help he needs? How would you be sure he wouldn't ever violate you again! How would your world have changed if you were a victim? How would you sleep at night?

I found this on the WTS website concerning the UN
by Leander inthis is actually posted under the first massive thread about the society and un, but i thought maybe it should have a post dedicated to this shocking softening of opinion.. my original post was as follows:.
i just shared the information with my wife about the society and the un.
she then replied that this situation was no different than paul making use of the goverment to further the preaching work.

Leander,
Who every told you to "keep your marriage" strong in one of thes posts. They aren't kidding. I've seen how the Elders work to the benifit of the wife (or the one who is a JW). She may be able to use scriptures to her advantage. Hope you take it slow.

Why so much DEFICIT?
by Aintthatcute inwhen i sit at a ca and the bro comes out and reads the financial report it is alwasy in the red (deficit).
then i ask myself: "if we own this building, the parking area, and there is no food being served; how in the world can we have a deficit?
" typically, the deficit is in the range of $5000 and $7000.

I'm not saying there is any "funny business" going on at the individual KH. I'm only questioning how a Circuit Assembly starts off with a deficit? When:
1) The JWs own the Circuit Assembly Hall,
2) I'm just telling it the way it was 'splained to me 'bout the donations and how they are prefigured per individual.Hope this makes more sence?

Then I ask myself: "If we own this building, the parking area, and there is no food being served; how in the world can we have a DEFICIT?" Typically, the deficit is in the range of $5000 and $7000. So, I asked an elder that question and he said that they count on a $5 contribution per day for everyone in attendece: i.e,. If you have 10 members in your family and the CA is 3 days then I would owe $150. He went on to tell me that if the CA doesn't get out of the deficit durring the CA, then they will go to the congregations in the circuit who were assigned to those days and get it from them.
It would appear to me that with an average District made up of 20 circuits, and the 1mm or so of attendees across the US. The WBTS is making a "killing!"
Is this an obvious loop-hole in the donation arrangement? Because, if they don't get the monies at the CA's then they get it from the individual halls.
I whish the WBTS would be honest with these things!

Hot Gossip: JW Lies Re Murder Attempt in WSM
by Englishman injust a bit of background first: my pal ray works as a barman in a nearby village social club.
sometimes he enjoys a pint in my pub, and sometimes talks with my estranged pal, dub-in-the-pub.
some years ago he married lucy, a vivacious middle-aged lady with something of a reputation.

Maybe Lucy has discoverde a way to count more time for her field service activities. And maybe, Dub-in-the-Pub, is monitoring her success rate.
Just "Maybe"! [8>]
