  WBTS goes to Court of Appeal (Charity Commission investigation)

  by Mephis in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  after a number of high profile cases where both children and survivors clearly weren't adequately protected, the charity commission here in the uk launched an investigation into the wbts as a whole here in britain.

  the main concerns are around the child safeguarding policies being inadequate.

  wbts have fought every step of the way so far.. wbts have been to the high court, who told them to complain to the proper tribunal.. wbts have been to the proper tribunal, who told them that too darn right there were suitable grounds for the charity commission to want to investigate their inability to protect children.. and now the wbts have gone back to the court of appeal to demand that the charity commission inquiry be halted.. i hope the court of appeal tells them that, yes, they too need to have proper safeguarding measures for children and to get on with co-operating with the investigation.. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/charity-commission-defends-its-investigation-into-jehovahs-witness-charity-in-the-court-of-appeal.

  Now of course such announcements are right at the very end of the CLAM meeting.

  Perhaps get your phone to play "I'm Free!" by The Who as you march to the exit?

  Even better if the sound department unwittingly played it instead of the closing song!

  Leaked Elder's Video: How to deal with a suicidal sister

  by cappytan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this video will be played at one of the clam meetings in march 2016.. the content is kind of old news because it is a recut version of a previous video produced for the elder's school.

  however, it's still significant because it shows that the organization still has dissenting brothers in positions of leadership.. my thanks to the leaker.

  feel free to claim credit here.

  So we can pray to Jehovah without invoking his son's "through me" telephone exchange?

  Thanks for the stats STA

  1200 attendance with 5 baptised with a GB member present. Not too hot.

  I wonder if there will be a slight bounce back from last year's low figures. We had a zero out of 1000 for the first time in 30 years at a CA I attended in April 2015. And 3 out of 1000 last November. Next one is end of March - will be interesting.

  The millstone wheels of the ARC will grind slowly but I believe they will grind fine.

  Justice McLellan did say last summer that the investigation would take another two and a half years. They are working their way through.

  I have too much crap!! How to declutter/dehoard.....

  some areas of our home are very nice, tidy, clean.

  and other rooms are just junk and clutter and clothes and papers.... omg.

  and now that we are getting older, we realize that we face a time of transition -- and this is hard to cope with too, as we believed the lie that we would never get old, etc.
