the uk charity commission lists 'the advancement of religion' as one of its 'first group charitable purposes'.. it makes the "general assumption that the advancement of religion is for the public benefit".

for the advancement of religion to be charitable, a religion has to:.

Excellent!!

I emailed through the think tank intranet the Uk Charity Commission.

If you type in International Bible Students Association you will see the charity status number and contact details. The entry can be found onwww.charity-commission.gov.uk

Normally a reply from them takes 15 days, got one in less than 24 hours on the subject of Identification Cards, JW's going from door to door. The case is that they are NOT required to carry identification Only if they were soliciting for funds for the charity.

They have an investigations branch, I have the e-mail address and will post back with it, so that others too can alert the commission to obvious flaws in the WTBTS IBSA organisation.

All the best!!

UK Charity Status

by Celtic in

jw

if you were to check out www.charity-commission.gov.uk.

you would find if you typed in ibsa the following registration number would show: 216647. as far as we know, for we are now awaiting a response, it is illegal all over the country for charities to solicit from door to door unless they have a full identity card, something which the wtbts has flouted law on for many years.. in view of current events, surely they must be able to see the wisdom of such an approach.

i mean its not exactly unreasonable when you really think about it, what the state is asking them to do.

On the charity commission website btw check out area of benefit of participating charity: Not defined

Yes, they can say that again.

Your involvement please - tv documentary

having continued to speak out on the hidden aspects of jehovahs witnesses and their real agenda's to professionals from across the board, preliminary inquiries are here being extended to involve members of the ex witness community to tell of their experiences and/or views on what it is that the wt actually stands for.. in the past few decades or so there have here, uk side, only one or two brief references of the jw organisation effectively escaping from media attention exposing what they are really about.. terror and all its combinations, operates on many sublime levels - contribute and have your say!!.

a friend of mine is looking for material to work from.

would you please be kind enough to send through via email to me any relevant documentation that you feel might benefit our cause.

Lest we forget; the other side of the coin

by Abaddon in

this is a post i've copied from randy's board (tishie's old board) - it was in turn copied from somewhere.. .

i've been hearing a lot of talk about "bombing afghanistan back to the stone age.

" ronn owens, on kgo talk radio today, allowed that this would mean killing innocent people, people who had nothing to do with this atrocity, but "we're at war, we have to accept collateral damage.

Thankyou for clarifying this. You explain the situation very well. Keep in contact if you would like to: [email protected]

My husband is smoking pot

by jurs in

jw
friends

i know this is not witness related but i just caught my husband smoking pot.

i am so upset !!!

he is an alcoholic and has a terrible temper.

Celtic

I'm relieved that you realize that this is essentially jurs decision, I agree. Of course I read the views put forwards, how on earth otherwise could I have expressed an opinion of my own on the subject. I know in future, I wont read what someone has to say, then I'll know in advance how to answer them. Hello, anyone in there?

My views expressed related to the 'evilness' of pot, linking it to addiction which is untrue and not based on substantial foundational evidence. To suggest that pot should be aligned with harder drugs is a complete misconception of the truth of the matter.

Perhaps you might read something of the subject to keep yourself better imformed.

Take care

Peace

I cant beleive the absurdity of some of the remarks and 'advice' here. Where on earth is the wisdom in the counsel here offered encouraging a possible break up in the relationship and the aftereffects of this on the kids. Obviously many of you know nothing of the qualities of hemp or indeed the cannabis plant in general, perhaps you should read something of its true history before you spout off incredibly crap advice that could by that very advice devastate a family unit somewhere else, affecting them not positively as well intentioned as you all are, rather, negatively impacting on the wholeness of the family unit and interdependence upon one another.

Support one another through open communication if you can rather than emotionally being controversial and ott. You've done coke before? You know what coke does to you, there is no comparison to pot, a word created by hoover back in the thirties.

Try reading 'the emperor wears no clothes'.

I smoke weed, I also enjoy a pint or two. I dont like getting drunk and being an idiot. I am ambitious, I work hard, I juggle many priorities, work in a UK government think tank on issues of social exclusion and community regeneration and revival. I give counsel on international disaster management amongst other things. I'm also studying three more subjects at college to do with my work. I care about myself and others. I enjoy the professional aspects of my life immensely, but when it comes to unwinding destressing completely naturally I smoke weed.

I am ex witness, 3rd generation, in since birth, left 6.5 years ago. In that time I have come far and will go further.

peace in your decisions
