A question
by JeffT inhas anybody ever written bethel and just flat out asked for an accounting report on the society's finances?
we all keep batting around speculation about the wtbs and money, and actual information seems non-existent.
what would they do if somebody asked for a financial statement?

I have access to that info, so I wouldn't need to. It's exists, but, privacy laws prevent me from exposing it, so, I can't/won't. -

Honestly, don't think I could ever fully be ready. But, the pain is sometimes more then I can handle....

Kingdom Consolidation and Sales are coming – Reliable Source
by thedepressedsoul ini heard form a reliable source that a kingdom hall consolidation is going to be happening in the us.
currently they are looking at every kingdom hall to see if they could and should sell it.

I would think that once Jehovah made things easier, he wouldn't turn and take his blessings away.
However; Simon is probably right. The hoops the r&f jump through in their mind to remain obedient is astounding.
Anyways, besides NY, anyone hear of Kingdom Halls being sold?

Are baptisms under the age of 18 valid? Can one baptised/dedicated prior actually be dfed according to law?
by EndofMysteries inin a business law class i've been learning all about contracts.
i wonder if for all of those who were baptized prior to the age of 18, if the wt/elders could be forced on our insistence that our dedication/baptism as a minor was made without proper mental capacity and that it be declared invalid, henceforth having never been baptized then family,etc, would be free in wt's eyes to treat as any non-jw vs shunning as an ex-jw.

Tried that. What they get you on is, "Even so, you went along with it all this time. Your actions since show you are in agreement." -

This is f*cking god damn bs. Really? Do you really think Simon has nothing to do but be on this 24/7? Don't stress him out and put this sort of stress on him when this is something he's doing for US in what spare time he has. He deserves to relax, go on a vacation, do his day job...
Cripes almighty, give the guy a damn break. What if he were to say, "you know what? I'm doing this is my spare time, with no financial gain, to help people. If this is how they show their appreciation, screw it."
God, is this unappreciative...
I'm really getting sick of this harping on Simon thing. Show some appreciation...

I'm just honest with my daughters. I don't talk down to them, I don't over complicate it. I'm just honest.
