Maybe it's like houses in your suburb ,every now and then the same houses go up for sale having been used for a while ,and because the same type of people populate them all the time they come back on the market again

BOE letter dealing with old sins
by Masterji in.
.
is there a letter to the boe that stated that if an elder confessed to having committed a serious sin a number of years ago, (three years or so) and nobody knew about it, he need not be removed?

Try this link ,it is a BOE from England which suggests a person who sinned (molested in this case) some time ago can be appointed to the body if the sin was some time ago .Note this also applies to elders currently serving who were molesters some time before.
As long as Bethel says it's ok to serve then the elder body can appoint or reaffirm the persons position as an elder. Perhaps they figure that if nobody remembers the molestation any more then it's ok to put them or keep them in power! I hope this helps

What Do Men & Women Want From Each Other???
by minimus ini recently read of a survey regarding unhappy wives.
it seems that nearly most women wouldn't do it all over again with the same man.
they were unhappy for various reasons.

We all know what really motivated them to do this damage
Reporting to the police the damage and giving them a possible motive for what happened is a proper thing to do, and then let them handle it at your insistence.
Was there any offer of cleaning up the mess and financial restitution.....probably not, which indicates their disdain for you?
As regards the action taken by the elders, well they will only act in harmony with the public notoriety of the incident - if no action is taken by the victims probably nothing will be done to the perpetrators and they will be smugly content to continue in life with little damage to themselves within the confines of their spiritual city breeding children who know they can get away with what father did as a middle age immature hypocrite. The WTS is only interested in minimising publicity not whether some one is hurt by their buffoons.

Here's my post on another thread........

It must be possible in some way or other. Some of these guys are in positions of trust, and some are trustee's for the ownership of Halls. I have heard about some Aussie guy from Adelaide, South Australia who used a K Hall as security for a loan that went belly up and the hall was repossessed!
Knorr used to have two first class seats on the plane, one for him and one for his witnessing bag. Well that is pretty right , this happened in the eightees I think in the Adelaide hills area of Mt.Barker and he was was an elder and one the top honchos at the time on the quick build committee for the district ,you know the type, lotsa relatives as JW's ,a big arrogant attitude about himself and had too much power over the affairs of the quick builds. Of course had the mates in bethel etc. so had the freedom to put up WTS property as back up for his business as a builder. For some time I would hear of trades people not getting paid by him to do his private work so he must have looked for an easy option...take the brothers money. I believe one relative also was a builder and corrupt the same way for someone stuck some jelly in a concrete slab of his and blew it up! When this first brother got caught out he would stand at the assembly hall doors and hand out programs "humbly" and I complained to his elder cronie mates who ran the assembly hall that a normal publisher would not get priveleges like he did if they sinned like him - well that did not go welll! Now this is the clincher......people wanted to take the WTS property away legally as they were owed money by this blokes business and he had put up as collateral WTS property and it did not look good for the society losing out ,so do you know what they did..................................... They begged for money donations at local Kingdom Halls for them to defray the cost of littigation and loss of property!!!!!!! I'm not sure how it all turned out for we moved interstate at the time but that elder did get DF"d some time later but I don't know if it was for the reason above. My wife and I would be challenged at the doors from householders about this affair when witnessing and we lived about 40 km away! So I guess you can siphon from the society ,for when we moved interstate the first congregation we went to there asked me to audit the Kingdom Hall books, and when I asked them why me? they said the brother that did the books for the past few years had just been caught out for stealing tens of thousands of dollars and they wanted someone new and independent to audit them...whew it goes on..... -

WHO'S 40 OR NEARLY 40!!!!!
by bubble inhi everybody and happy new year.
2007 is the year i turn 40, in fact in exactly one month's time to be precise.. i've noted that a lot of people on jwd are a similar age to me.
i think it's because it takes us this long to pluck up the courage to finally leave the borg.. i need to know how turning 40 makes you feel.

Could someone be amassing a personal fortune at Watchtower land?
by Gill inhow sure can we be that no one or even two or more jw is amassing a personal fortune at the expense of the watchtower slaves and the watchtower society?.
locally, there was an elder who was able to have affairs with three different women, including his wife for thirty years.
during that same time he had his hand in the contribution box to keep his business going.. we're talking thirty years here.. i agree with many posts here that the legal dept actually run the wtbts now and not the governing body.

Perhaps this is a part of a campaign to soften up the witnesses for a huge change in doctrine like 1914

No where in the bible does it say Jesus taught his disciples wrong teachings to spread after his death and then change the teaching ,and the same goes for the other NT writers ,they did'nt teach and preach wrong things and then apostle John changed the teachings in his books written much later. The first century writings stayed the same , the only teaching that has changed is the 19th, 20th century writings of the WTS ,so if you don't start your org with truth ,how can it ever preach and teach bible truth?
