Charity Tribunal rejects Jehovah’s Witnesses charities' latest appeal attempt
Governance | Kirsty Weakley | 9 Apr 2015
A Jehovah’s Witnesses charity has been refused permission to appeal a Charity Tribunal ruling that had denied it extra time to appeal against the opening of a statutory inquiry.
The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society and appealed the Charity Tribunal’s decision not to extend the period of time that they had to file an appeal into a statutory inquiry that had been opened by the Charity Commission.
The charities had claimed that the ruling earlier this year that denied them extra time to appeal was unlawful. They both claimed that the 3 March ruling had three legal errors relating to whether the charity had a good reason for asking for an extension.
Alison McKenna, principal judge of the Charity Tribunal said in the latest ruling that she has “decided not to undertake a review as I am not satisfied that there was an error of law in my ruling”.
The 3 March ruling had criticised the delay to the Charity Commission’s investigation, and warned that this could result in “ongoing risks” to children.Trustees of the Manchester New Moston Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses had appealed a decision to limit the questioning of a Commission case worker at an earlier hearing. McKenna said that having examined the grounds for appeal she was not "satisfied that they raise arguable errors of law" and refused permission for appeal.
Last summer the Charity Commission opened statutory inquiries into the two organisations, after the Manchester Evening News reported that Jonathan Rose, 40, an elder of the New Moston congregation, was jailed for nine months for abusing two women when they were young girls.
The paper reported that after his release the New Moston congregation conducted a series of “disfellowship” meetings to decide whether Rose should remain a member of the organisation, in which the women were required to recount their ordeal. At one meeting, Rose was present and allowed to ask questions.This article has been ammended to clarify that the two appeals concerned different points

WT report:
2011 19,374,737 (worldwide) 2,563,518 (U.S.)
2012 19,013,243 - 2,502,055
2013 19,241,152 - 2,504,114
2014 19,950,019 - 2,505,825
So, 2012 showed a big drop on WW and US. 2013 showed slight increase from 2012 but still not as high as 2011. 2014 had a big increase for WW, but not much in U.S.

Petition to Revoke Scientology's Tax Exempt Status
by ABibleStudent infyi, if you feel that scientology's tax-exempt status should be revoked, you can sign a white house petition to revoke its tax-exempt status at https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/revoke-scientologys-tax-exempt-status.. i signed the petition even though i have mixed feelings about this petition.
i would prefer that dangerous cults like scientology be reformed by suspending its tax-exempt status until it makes needed changes and i do not like targeting a specific organization when the whole system should be changed.
on the other hand this type of action may help to promote debate about revising the tax codes in the us.. i do prefer revising the tax code like i wrote about in revise tax code to protect children from sexual abuse .. peace be with you and everyone, who you love,.

Barbara, I agree, I signed on also. The public are becoming more aware of religion corruption. If big business religion's corruption don't pay their share of taxes, then the rest of people have to pay. -

I wonder how the government asserted itself to the Mormons, that they simply can't have more than one wife (though their religion taught it was okay, even good), so the government reinforced would not let the Utahans become a state? If the government could assert itself on that, it should be able to assert the law about abuse protection on behalf of the children!

On March 25, defendant Watchtower — the corporate head of the Jehovah’s Witnesses — filed a “notice of removal” in Multnomah County Circuit Court to have the case processed in federal district court, where it is presently pending.
When can cases be switched from a state case to federal? With Watchtower requesting it to go to Federal, they must think it would go better for them? Are there so many 'state' cases as such against them, that they are making a "Federal Case" out of it?

by defender of truth in"bellows falls >> the attorney representing the bellows falls congregation of jehovah's witnesses and the new york-based headquarters of the jehovah's witness faith in a case of alleged sexual abuse said a judge's partial granting of a motion to dismiss makes him confident the entire case will get dismissed.. pietro lynn, of lynn, lynn & blackman in burlington, told the reformer that u.s. district court judge j. garvan murtha decided it was appropriate to dismiss certain legal theories raised by annessa lewis, who is suing the bellows falls congregation and the watchtower bible and tract society of new york, inc., which she claims ignored reports that she and her sister were sexually abused by a congregation member more than 20 years ago.".

his attorneys are also trying to have the case dismissed on the technicality that the two sisters may have waited too long to file a legal complaint. If they waited longer than six years past their 18th birthday, they may not be able to seek legal relief.
Horrible if this get dismissed on the 'technicality.' I wonder, shouldn't the ages of the two sisters have been established & documented already by the attorney of the two sisters right from the start because of this age/timing issue? Looks like the girls can not be over 24 years old now then? Zalkin shows to be involved in this case. He has been so successful in other "pedophile" cases.
