Are Jehovah’s Witnesses allowed to read Orlando Times sermons?
If this young lady was a study progressing to baptism, would she be allowed to share in the ministry as an unbaptized publisher?
Would she be allowed to keep her position, considering her employer actively partners with Christendom as part of its business model?
Or would she be coerced to quit a paying job so as not to stumble others?

Oops. They removed her article but not the byline.
i saw this posted on another forum and it raises a very good question.
maybe we can get a go fundme page to pay for the lawyer fees?
get a good shark lawyer on this?
Education. The WTBTS masquerades as an Education nonprofit.
As long as they print some skimpy brochures, or throw up a few articles online from time to time, they qualify.
Doesn’t matter that cart-sitters are virtually invisible, they offer Bible-based (tm) education free to the public.
Watchtower could cancel door-to-door work, eliminate the worldwide Bethel population, and operate with an 8-person skeleton crew.
They’d still qualify.
Historically, they’ve enjoyed agricultural exemptions, too. Watchtower was very clever to install a BIBLE MUSEUM at Warwick HQ. No matter how tarnished their reputation, no matter how many Witnesses leave, they could still solicit public donations on that basis alone. While sitting on billion$ in recent real estate transactions, and
compounded interest plus principal going back over a hundred years.
Works for them, works for Orange County, NY tourism and economic development. Very happy to have new neighbors fix up a decrepit site within the park and bring in busloads of neatly dressed, well-mannered consumer$.
Tourism is their new gig. Education always has been, and will remain, their phony, fraudulent front.
they offered themselves willingly—in new yorkricky, a construction project manager in hawaii, was invited to serve as a commuter bethelite to assist with the warwick project.
his wife, kendra, wanted him to accept the invitation.
however, they had a legitimate concern: the welfare of their 11-year-old son, jacob.
Will someone who has an established rapport with the ARC or the UK Charity Commission forward this to the proper contacts? That Watchtower encourages isolated children to hang out with single male Bethelites, even AFTER THE FACTS of the disgusting Jesus Cano case?
Thanks in advance.

They Offered Themselves Willingly—In New York
Ricky, a construction project manager in Hawaii, was invited to serve as a commuter Bethelite to assist with the Warwick project. His wife, Kendra, wanted him to accept the invitation. However, they had a legitimate concern: the welfare of their 11-year-old son, Jacob. They wondered if it would be wise to relocate the family to New York State and if their son would be able to adjust to a totally different environment.
“One of our priorities was that of finding a congregation with young ones who were doing well spiritually,” says Ricky. “We wanted Jacob to have plenty of good association.” As it turned out, the congregation where they ended up has very few children but several Bethelites. “After our first meeting there, I asked Jacob how he felt about the new congregation, especially since there weren’t any young ones his age,” says Ricky. “He told me, ‘Don’t worry, Dad. My friends will be the young Bethel brothers.’”
Jacob and his parents enjoy association with Bethelites in their congregation
Sure enough, the young Bethelites have befriended Jacob. With what effect? “One night, I was passing my son’s room and saw that the lights were still on,” Ricky relates. “I expected to catch him playing an electronic game, but he was reading the Bible! When I asked him what he was doing, Jacob said, ‘I’m being a young Bethelite, and I’m going to read the Bible in one year.’” Needless to say, Ricky and Kendra are thrilled, not only because Ricky can share in the construction work at Warwick but also because their move is contributing to their son’s spiritual growth.—Prov. 22:6.

So, Jacob is an only child, no siblings. Being raised in a high-control, closed environment. He’s not allowed “bad association” with non-JW children in the first place. Now he’s being uprooted and sent to a congregation with “very few children”, which is even more isolating. His own dipshit parents encourage him to hang out with horny virgin men from the local cult compound who have to be constantly reminded (even at the breakfast table) not to play with themselves or each other.
What could possibly go wrong?

what happens when bethelite gets sick.
There is a Watchtower-owned private home in Putnam County, NY inhabited by a licensed chiropractor and his wife.
Their relative, most likely a daughter, is a lawyer for … Watchtower Patterson. So either Watchtower bought the house for it’s private chiropractor, or a lowlife woman who protects child abusers. Either way, neither of these upstanding Witnesses were told “wait on Jehovah” in the career department. Which makes me question if these off-site professionals are even Witnesses to begin with.
I’d be really pissed if these were my neighbors. A doctor and a lawyer living property tax free while the townsfolk pay a premium to make up the shortfall.
(If the rank-and-file ever knew how many “Bethelite” professionals live off site in Watchtower-owned freestanding homes, they’d lose their minds.)
Sorry to go off topic. I also noticed a “therapy pool” on the Warwick blueprints. Just like the fake “baptism pool” in Brooklyn that never saw a drop of water.
This is most likely an ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) sham to grab federal government grant money.
