a number of years ago when i was still active, our service group was having a coffee break with the visiting circuit overseer.

during the conversation he mentioned that the "society" was now being run like a business.

Millie - combination of this over the years that have them bad credit. They were counting on certain monies to come in and it didn't. Obviously, they weren't counting on liquid assets and unless there was a sudden huge loss in investments, it wouldn't be that either. Although I do believe there has been loss in investments in the past. That leaves either fraud or loan(s) got denied. I think we'd hear something about it if someone or multiple people got caught for fraud.

Apostasy and Pedophile Scandal are Spreading

by cookiemaster in

so here's an interesting thing that happened lately.

if you guys have followed my previous posts, you probably know my mother almost died from severe anemia, decided to take blood transfusions to avoid death and the elders announced the congregation she disassociated.

last week a "brother" came to visit from a congo about 100 kilometers away.
