  Watchtower Not a religious organization?

  by RR in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i guess somebody should tell the watchtower, there not religious:.

  "this is a business association merely; it was chartered as a corporation by the state of pennsylvania, and authorized to hold or dispose of property in its own name as though it were an individual.

  it is merely a business convenience in disseminating the truth.

  Will the Watchtower file for bankruptcy?

  i wonder if the watchtower will use the same tactic as the hare krishnas.. devon.

  >>hare krishnas to declare bankruptcy to avoid abuse lawsuit.

  hare krishna congregations named in a lawsuit alleging sexual and emotional abuse of boarding school students will file for bankruptcy to avoid being sued.. a spokesman for the hindu sect said about a dozen congregations will start filing for bankruptcy reorganisation next week in several states.. the group hopes that if their plan is approved by federal bankruptcy judges, the $400 million (280 million) lawsuit filed in dallas by former boarding school students will be dismissed.. anuttama dasa, a maryland-based spokesman for the international society of krishna consciousness, or iskcon, said: "we don't believe that innocent members and congregations should be held accountable for the deviant behaviour of individual acts committed 20 or 30 years ago.".

  Bankruptcy is a tool used by accountants and lawyers these days. The Hare Krishas are not as rich as the Watchtower Society, but their finances are staggering and they are sitting on their own pot of gold.

  I was wondering the same thing. If they are perfect 100% pro Jehovah's Witness, then why are they posting on a web site not approved by the Watchtower Society?

  >>Hare Krishnas to declare bankruptcy to avoid abuse lawsuit

  Hare Krishna congregations named in a lawsuit alleging sexual and emotional abuse of boarding school students will file for bankruptcy to avoid being sued.

  A spokesman for the Hindu sect said about a dozen congregations will start filing for bankruptcy reorganisation next week in several states.

  The group hopes that if their plan is approved by federal bankruptcy judges, the $400 million (280 million) lawsuit filed in Dallas by former boarding school students will be dismissed.

  Anuttama Dasa, a Maryland-based spokesman for the International Society of Krishna Consciousness, or ISKCON, said: "We don't believe that innocent members and congregations should be held accountable for the deviant behaviour of individual acts committed 20 or 30 years ago."

  ISKCON also plans to set up a fund to compensate children who may have been victimised in Hare Krishna schools during the 1970s and 1980s.

  The Texas lawsuit alleges young children at Krishna schools in India and the United States were terrorised by their instructors.

  There are 94 plaintiffs in the lawsuit, according to the office of Windle Turley, the Dallas attorney who filed the lawsuit.

  They allege that young girls were given as brides to older men who donated to the religious community. Children were also allegedly deprived of medical care, scrubbed with steel wool until their skin bled, and prevented from leaving the schools.

  Mr Turley says the abuse started in 1972 at ISKCON's first school in Dallas, and continued in six other US schools and two in India. He says ISKCON knew that sex offenders were working in their schools.

  ISKCON formed a "Child Protection Office" in 1998 to investigate allegations of abuse and some members have been removed from the Krishna community as a result of the probes, Mr Dasa said.

  BABYLONISH WATCHTOWER TERMINATION SQUAD AIMS AT BARB ANDERSON:

  The wheels of the Watchtower Termination Squad grind on. At 4:45 p.m. today Barbara Anderson was contacted by the Chairman of her previous Judicial Committee from last week. Barb was asked to meet with a new Judicial Hearing to face new charges which are "adjusted" as follows: Disrupting the unity of the congregation. Undermining confidence in Jehovah's arrangement.

  It appears a week of discussions with Watchtower Headquarters has changed the original charge of "divisions" to the all encompassing charges above. This lamb must be silenced at all cost, to hell with protocol and forward with the executions, spiritually that is. It will be interesting to see how these charges will apply as JR Brown was quoted as saying, "Child abuse allegations had nothing to do with the hearings as they were set up for other sins against God." Does anyone anywhere on the face of the earth know of any sin against God committed by Sister Anderson other than trying to protect children? While wicked men direct these actions, local elders follow through and act at their bidding. Yet another living example of how molested children are often treated when they try to speak out. When Jesus identified Judas as the betrayer his final words were, "What you are doing get done more quickly." (John 13:27) How fitting those words describe the actions of these men today, you see it must be done quickly to discredit those who speak truth and prevent others from hearing it. While the Pandelo's appeal the outrageous charges against them, Anderson will once again face a Judicial Hearing that will not be satisfied until they have only one outcome, as with all lynch mobs there only purpose and that is to produce a dead body. Hence the judicial "mob" follows their masters bidding.

  I don't think this will have that much of an effect on devout JW's which is less than one percent of the U.S. population. But it may be the straw that breaks the camels back to inactive JW's. This will have a huge effect on the non-jw world, which is by far the majority.

  Dateline is a news program that is shown nationwide here in the U.S. Yes, it is big and serious. These news programs expose scams and scandals, bring awareness to touching stories, and report newsworthy stories. I don't know exactly how many viewers the show has but it's a lot.

  They give definition to "freedom of the press"

  i read from the freedom of mind web site that licensed cult-expert, steven hassan was also interviewed for the dateline episode.

  this would mean that in addition to the wt protecting pedophiles, they are going to expose them for being a cult .

  You are absolutely right. I am thinking that maybe they will tie in the fear of coming forward about a molestation as being a characteristic of a mind controling cult.
