I think both points of view are valid the bad publicity in NY and also the Dollar $$$$ from there property sales.

16Why Is The Governing Body Moving Corporation Headquarters Out In The Boonies Away From Public Veiw?
by Brokeback Watchtower ini think the decision to move to a more secluded place was probably started taking shape right after silentlambs march at headquarters in clear public view of their neighbors.
i mean how do you respectively live something like this down in front of all those neighbors close by?
that's why i think they are heading for the boonies because deep down they know that their public reputation will only go from bad to worse at this late date of the faithful & discreet slave of god con game.

Eight men and eight women from different parts of the world make up the Catholic Commission to address the matter of child sexual abuse in their religion.
The WTB&TS could learn a lot from the Catholic Church ,while in the past they have had an abysmal record in this regard Jehovahs Witnesses may have an even greater abysmal record if you made a ratio comparison comparing numbers.

awake 12/8/2004 p 28
by gerry injust doing research and came across this.. i know this is old however.
here we have a worldly organisation distributing pamphlets and warning parents about child abuse.. last point in particular.
3) inform the child that what happened is against the law and that it is necessary to report it to the police so that it will not happen again.. pretty straight forward if you ask me.. watchtower were happy to use that in their magazine.

Typical ploy of the WT Borg ,ignore it and hide it from the faithful .Why advertise they have a serious problem with the ARC ,best not to say anything about it, Jehovah will sort it out soon and it will all blow over.
Then again pigs might fly, or Armageddon might come

Steven Unthank and his work.
by WHATSGOINGON inhi everyone, .
i have been trying really hard to find the court case transcript where steven unthank was in court in australia and one of the wt lawyers or a wt spokesperson said the faithful and discreet slave does not exist.. i hope that this is correct i remember reading about this a long while back and would love to get evidence of this.. i found steven on facebook and messaged him about 6 months ago and he didn't respond, he probably wants to let all this go, and i don't blame him for that.. any suggestions would be very much appreciated.. thanks wgo..

4 million year old superbug in a cave in New Mexico
by schnell inhttp://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2016/12/10/504691357/million-year-old-hero-bug-emerges-from-cave.
this is pretty fascinating.
paenibacillum is not pathogenic, but is absolutely battle-hardened as far as bacteria go, having spent 4 million years in a 1600' deep cave that takes 10,000 years to get water from the surface and never sees sunlight..

It sounds like the mentality of a die -hard Jehovahs Witness ...............Sorry I couldnt help myself,
JW`s claim they see the light getting brighter and brighter ,bacteria seems to be way ahead of them.
Will have a more serious look at it Later
