Dpg,
The 7000 years you’re thinking of, is that the WT claims that mankind is 7000 years old (counting back to the days of Adam) and as that period since creation is considered to be “1 day”, then each creative day would also be 7000 years long.

Australian Taxation office investigating religions as charities/tax status
by Mattieu inthere has been a lot of rumblings in the media here lately as to the worthiness of some religions enjoying a tax free benefit due to charity/not for profit status.. the latest media reports are on the hillsong church:.
http://www.news.com.au/money/money-matters/tax-office-push-for-charity-monitoring/story-e6frfmd9-1225896551630.
i actually spoke to the reporter of this article a month ago on an unrelated matter, so will call him with a suggestion on a follow up article to this on the jw's.. we have an election looming, so will not hold my breath as to the government setting up an inquiry so as not to lose favour with voters, though based on the readers comments on the news.com.au website, they should.. cheers, mattieu (go webber at hockenheim......).

Hillsong is a money-making racket. It's about time the ATO looked into it.

The spanking room
by dgp ini just got "the spanking room: a child's eye view of the jehovah's witnesses", by william coburn.
the author says that their old kingdom hall didn't have a spanking room, so the spanking took place in the ladies' room.
there was always a line, either for ladies wanting to make use of the toilet the way it was intended to be used, or for ladies waiting their turn to spank their children.

one particular elder would leave the platform mid talk to go slap his kids to set an example for everyone else.
When my dad was an elder, he did that to me. I also remember him assigning another elder to discipline me while he was giving the talk.

Loz,
You don’t think it could be because of the fact that many Aussie’s ancestors were brought here as convicts by the English? People who were deemed criminals for simply stealing a bread roll or a handkerchief, and then transported to the other side of the world, never to see their family ever again?

His question was "What country would be a good example of treating blacks well that the US could look at to emulate?"
France?
