  loneranger,

  Thanks for this post, and rebelfighter for the old link.

  Does anyone know who is doing the reconstruction, Witness volunteers or a professional company? If the latter, does the company belong to a brother or some worldly group? It would certainly be dangerous work for untrained nonprofessionals.

  It's interesting that they are going ahead with a fix since that will likely cost them some serious money. Of course, the other options like trying to sell it to someone else "as is" would involve them in legal liability, and leaving it "as is" is probably a health hazard and the local government wouldn't want some condemned building just sitting as an eye-sore.

  Yes, their environmental thinking is non-existent. Maybe things like this and the Warwick pollution will wake them up as to the need to check such things out in advance. They certainly are slow learners!

  How Precious Is A Governing Body Mole(Double Agent, 5th Colunm) To Sabatoge The Watchtower Organization?

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  i would suppose that there are many at very sensitive operations at headquarters and around the world that are moles or double agents a 5th column if you will that are in but mentally out and full of hated for the governing body.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/fifth_column.

  a fifth column is any group of people who undermine a larger group from within, usually in favour of an enemy group or nation.

  the activities of a fifth column can be overt or clandestine.

  It seems to be EVERYTHING and often we get it before the flock get it.
  

  Committee chairman, who has dropped out of this forum, used to say he began coming here because he could get the correspondence and publications here before they came officially to his BOE.

  Affected by assembly

  hi - first some context - i have been pimo for about 20 years now and so have been to a lot of assemblies in that time.

  last weekend i went to a circuit assembly and for the first time afterwards i was able to talk directly to someone who knows i'm out.

  i realised then that although i didn't agree with any teachings (i sat picking holes in the arguements as usual) the experience of being there had affected me - the way of life started feeling normal as did the overall way of viewing the world.

  Overlapping congregations? Kingdom Hall fragments? Oh, the suspense!

  Perhaps by "overcrowded KHs" they mean too many congregations in one hall, not that each cong. is crowded with publishers. Remember, they rearrange the English language in their own way...

  Thanks, Atlantis.

  Finland revuing JW Conscrition Exemption

  by Slidin Fast in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so, the ministry of defence is reviewing the legislation exempting jws from military service.

  apparently active members service is deferred every 3 years as long as they remain active.. https://yle.fi/uutiset/osasto/news/defence_ministry_reconsiders_jehovahs_witnesses_military_exemption/10148627.

  now it may be considered problematic, unconstitutional.

  Thanks, Ernest. So did Otto Absentz get out of prison? If so, by his sentence expiring or by the Court of Appeal's decision? Do you know how long his sentence is/was?

  SF,

  Thanks for the post. The news article states that the reason for the review is that the exemption specifically for JWs was made before the present constitution came into effect. But someone had to notice the discrepancy between the old practice and the new constitution. Do you know if the the growing public profile of the org and their child abuse policies played any role in someone noticing the disparity?
