"

On January 27, 2005, DEP's Exemption Manager endorsed his agency's 2002 decision to return the Church's exemption application. He summarized what had happened in 1991,

and pointed out that a recent inspection had revealed guest rooms on the building's fourth floor, or balcony level, which were not disclosed in the Church's 2002 application. The Exemption Manager then concluded that"

France taxing The Watchtower, what became of that?

by VM44 in

years ago it was announced that france was going to tax the watchtower.. i believe the watchtower took out a full page newspaper ad in the new york times (?

) protesting this action on the part of france.. the watchtower in france appealed this decision to the courts.. so, after all these years, what happened?.

did the watchtower (france division) have to pay taxes or not?.

mraimondi

its not quite fair - all so called religions should be taxed.

they are all cults.

hear me and my gf having sex

listen

bring it up later (at the judicial commitee)

This happened a long time ago hehe, i had already admitted i had done it, after an elder's wife (pioneer) decided to look through my emails whilst the elder and i were talking in another room. they had already known the truth, so it was hard for me to lie to them... but that gave 2 nice little witnesses to my admission... how convenient.

does this happen often?

Honors classes "puff you up with pride"

by rebel8 in

in us public schools, they used to have special classes for gifted students.

all students would be tested for academic achievement and iq, then placed in "gifted classes" with parental permission.. in my kingkongregation, parents would not give permission because it would make the children arrogant and later leave the trooftm.

it would also mean more time studying worldlytm subjects than necessary.. and if the student is female, oh hell no, she wasn't getting into the gifted courses, no way, no how!

my experiences totally go against that. ive met a LOT of smart people in the org, even being out of it, i look back at them and realize YES they were pretty damned smart, even though i hated some, ok many things they did to me and others....

being involved in the witnesses does not imply lack of intelligence... i mean i guess if it makes you feel better, you can believe that....
