London Bethelites Are Agitated!

by The Searcher in

a source has informed me that a relative who's in london bethel has said that a number of bethelites there are very uncomfortable and embarrassed because the branch has received "quite a few letters" querying why members of the governing body were wearing flashy rings and jewellery on some of the monthly broadcasts, but on the broadcast when the g.b.

asked for more money from the congregations - their gold and jewellery was not on display!.

will probably emerge one day wearing sackcloth, begging for yet more donations..

Just got this reply from the U.K enquiry into Child Abuse

by Phizzy in

i received an e-mail today, which says, in part :.

" thank you for your email dated 19 august to the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse.

regarding your concerns about the jehovahs witness religion and your offer to provide further.

Petraglyph

This is their contact page:

Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse

I'm glad this is happening and I'm going to put something together to send them to hopefully help change their 'may be considered further' into a 'will be considered further'.

Should Charity Organizations Be Forced To Be Transparent As To Where The Money Goes? Watchtower's Financial Books Should Be Made Public

by Brokeback Watchtower in

i know there is much encouragement for charities to have financial transparency and i'm all for it reguardless of whether they are a religion or whatever.

also lawsuit pay out should made easy identifiable on tax form too.

any charity should be accountable to the general public when funds are used to pay out lawsuits so that the general public is aware of where their money is going.

Any charity should be accountable to the general public when funds are used to pay out lawsuits so that the general public is aware of where their money is going.

Good point. It's easy to forget that the public are subsidising their activity. If this results in legal payouts then there is a public interest and the public should be informed.
