What's stopping the dopes in Brooklyn playing hardball, closing down every major asset and siphoning off the vast majority of its money in Australia to the mother ship?

30Will Jehovah`s Witnesses join with other religions in Compensation Payouts ?
by smiddy injustice mcclellen asked g.jackson about compensation for victims of child abuse , and mcclellan suggested it be by a consortium of groups , presumably religious and secular in nature as a pool to dispense approppiate compensation to all of the victims involved .. g.jackson hesitated and said they would have to look at the details of that proposal , before committing to it.. jehovah`s witnesses consider themselves as the only true religion and ,all others as false religion .. they take pains to separate themselves from from any association with other religions , not even being included in newspaper notices about church services.they want to keep themselves separate and distinct from false religion as they see them.. so how do you think they will handle this suggestion / requirement ?
will they join in aligning themselves with "babylon the great" in compensation .?.
didn`t they align themselves with another religion in the u.s.a. some years ago , that had to do with the w.t.

Breaux says the video "... will help pull back the curtain, so to speak ...". How Ironic!
Empty Kingdom Halls which can be sold and empty congregations which can be merged and their bank accounts raided but we still need your money.
How dumb have you got to be to not realise what is going on???
Shouting voice on: HELLO! THE PREACHING WORK WITH ITS JW MESSAGE IS A FAILURE! A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME!

The reason they are selling it is that it is in a prime location in the biggest Capital city in Europe and will get them a huge amount of sovs.
The place they are building in its stead is:-
Much cheaper and will have far fewer people and no printing presses.
So lots of lolly coming in from the sale; much less going out and they still have the cheek to massively hint for donations/free labour to build the new place.
Just like its big brother in Brooklyn/Warwick, London/Chelmsford is a money realisation scheme.
At least Dick Turpin wore a mask!

@Listener
I wonder if they (GB) knew this added investigation was coming down the pipe a few weeks ago and this is why the Feb 2017 WT (Study copy) had that eye catching sentence about the GB in it?

That's a better resurrection than Lazarus, smiddy!
The points are good from the original poster though. The paperback stuff was an original cost cutting measure - remember those awful paperback bibles before the present silver one? And some of the books offered (like the CD-ROM still does) contained "old truths".

Look at the upload dates of previous on line Yearbooks on jayborg. They are usually late December.
Anyway I expect "they" are deciding whether to fudge the figures or work out whether the fall out is worth it if they drop them all together.

The Great October 2016 Invite to the Sunday Meeting campaign ...

In answer to the more recent posts this has been an "extra effort" for October started with a BoE letter back in March/April (Thanks WIFI BANDIT) and those newer small invites have been handed to mag routes and relatives.
The final figure for week 5 was 58 plus 12 listening in.
So it has crept up a little bit but still not even a match for the 75 publishers and my observation is that while there were a handful of new faces they all seemed a bit Misfit/Odd/Elderly/lonely types. Probably those long term return visits that look good padding out reports but going nowhere.
Let's see what happens as winter draws in. We've had an exceptionally mild and fairly dry October this year in my neck of the woods.

Lost and Sad, Then He Found Me...
by Sorry inwell, i got myself in a dilemma.
i'm currently 18, being baptised for a year.
i had my doubts, but due to a variety of reasons (getting subtle flack for not baptised, not having a support system even if i wanted to leave).

Welcome! Be careful not to "commit a DF offence" by action or word so that the rug is pulled from under you. Meeting with elders and telling them how you feel can rapidly (within minutes, even) become the basis for an apostasy charge.
