I agree with Village Idiot too. The way to bring the org to its knees is to freeze ALL assets and then sell off all Kingdom halls. Because you can be sure they will preempt anything that comes their way!
apologies if this has been posted previously, but this news item has appeared today regarding the proposed redress for abuse victims following the australian royal commission:.
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-10-27/labor-pledges-payments-for-sex-abuse-survivors/6886864.
what's interesting is that in january it was proposed that the federal government contribute almost half of an estimated $4.3 billion redress scheme.

for the lurkers and active jws here, are you really happy about the recent changes?.
are you happy where you are now?.
does it make you feel special that you are more "privileged" than non-jws or other jws who have less preaching hours than you do?.
boy oh boy did i feel paranoid at today's wt.
not only are we to watch our associations outside of the congregation, but also watch our associations 'within' the congregation.
this was emphasised by the wt study conductor.
third post about the big disappointments that woke me up.
i'm writing them in no particular order.
these episodes made me bitter when they happened.
why do there have to be wars?
why is there so much hatred?.
the collective answer i came up with is natalisam, or maybe the correct word should be politics?
We only have to look at the pasting Russia have given the US over the whole ISIS debacle to see things a little clearer The Rebel. It's hilarious watching our prime minster and the US president panicking and trying to cover up their absolute balls up they have created. Oh and not forgetting ISIS product of the CIA, who in turn protect the president of the US of A!
Putin's Painted the bad guy for going in to Syria and getting on with a job that the western governments kept saying they were going to do. In this case, it all boils down to one thing. Innocent lives are not on the agenda of our increasing globalist governments who are controlled by the central bank, which in turn fund the military industrial complex therefor raking in huge profits for said banks. War and death is profitable and until the average Joe on the street rises up and say, that's it. we don't want anymore murdering of innocent lives for profit then it will continue. Follow the money trail and the answer will be right there!
If anyone has any doubts we only need to look at watchtowers investments in the military industrial complex...Yah know, the very organisation that are supposed to be neutral when it comes to war and the most loving spiritual religion on earth!
