  http://www.hartlepoolmail.co.uk/news/crime/jehovah-s-witness-spared-jail-over-grooming-girl-1-7551106.

  a jehovah's witness who groomed a girl has walked free from court.. .

  richard ogilvie was given a suspended prison sentence after a judge ruled his conduct was 'bad, but not as bad as some cases we see before these courts'.. the victim's father said he 'understands and accepts' the sentence and hopes the sex offender treatment ogilvie receives will prevent another child and family suffering at his hands.. .

  well, my sister-in-law and her husband, special pioneers for only a couple of years, just got their letter.. her comment was along the lines of, "they're having to do this because they forgave all those kingdom hall loans a few years ago and the brothers aren't donating anymore.".

  when my wife told me, i laughed so hard i farted.

  ;).

  It is hilarious - "the brothers and sisters aren't donating because the loans were let off" - just wait until she hears the letter to be read out this week with the underlined "very" in saying how very generous the congregations have been!

  So everyone is very generous and yet we've run out of money!

  Ha ha ha ha ha! - Luke 14 v 29 applies.

  Honestly, Do You Still Act or Think Like a JW?

  or do traces or attitudes still rear its ugly head of your past involvement with the witnesses?

  @Sir82

  CO's in the UK changed in September 2015. So these removals and resignations are across the "watch" of two CO's.

  Doesn't sound like the work of one CO to me.

  @vidiot

  Oh yes! 1960 through 1990 much better fitted the WT claims of the time.

  Cuba/Vietnam/Biafra/Cold War/Gemini and Apollo Moon Landing (Signs in the Sun and stars)/Generation that saw 1914/King of the North and South with their earth destroying nuclear missiles. Ten toes of the image of Nebuchadnezzer having the strength of iron and the fragility of clay - Student uprisings in Paris, Czech revolt (Prague Spring), Power outages and Miner's strikes in Britain. Berlin Wall coming down (here comes the peace and security!) Made sense to me.

  And all those good solid elders that were forged during this time are the last bastion of the WT. How old are they now? mid - late 50's are the youngest, but more likely 60's 70's 80's and dead! (Or resigned.)

  OK, I'll bite.

  Try Matthew 24 v 36 and Acts 7 v 55,56.
