Heh heh. I was not trying to insinuate that Broadmoor is full of JWs. I think it's full of deranged window-lickers..... wait- it MUST have its own congregation.......Surely?

The Yorkshire Ripper (A baptized Witness), who killed 13 women is asking for day release and to be put in a medium security prison. He's a nice bloke and he reads the Watchtower for the WT study in prison. That's alright, then.

Are we sure cave paintings were done by humans?

Nelly couldn't get her fat arse through a lot of caves. Also, she'd have to invent some sort of lamp for the pitch darkness.

Where does all the JW money go?
by LouBelle ini want to know.. does every kingdom hall, bethel and assembly hall belong to the watchtower, bible & tract society?.
each of those kingdom halls, bethels etc are built with the money obtained by that country's contributions.
if a loan is needed the bothers of that specific congregation pay off the loan.. the society has then an extremely huge amount of property worth billions of $$$$ who has control of all those funds?

I don't think I have ever either asked for/been given a donation when 'placing' literatrash. I assume that paying for the printing/distribution of mags takes a substantial chunk out of the contributions. I would say that all the capital is held in property, but isn't exactly liquid. If they ever need to sell property in the form of Kingdumb halls, they're only ever gonna be able to sell as community centres or doctors surgerys. I assume that even though they are all owned by separate legal entities, they are all property of the WTBTS anyhow.

GOOD NEWS. UK Charity Commisssion; "No presumption that religion is for the public benefit"
by nicolaou ini tweeted this link a couple of days ago but forgot to post it here .
the uk charity commission has refused to renew the charitable status of the plymouth brethren, a cultlike sect similar to the watchtower in so many ways.
as a result, some members of parliament are claiming that the commissions action is a "suppression of religion".

It would be ironic if a secular group managed to dictate what actions a religious organization needed to take in order to qualify as being a charity. Supposedly charity is a cornerstone of all religions, not just western, Christian religions. For the sake of clarity they should have to all submit annual reports to the commission to prove that their actions are indeed charitable enough. Perhaps by showing a ten percent contribution of net income to third-world poverty by means of a cash contribution which would pay for hospitals and the like. Also, they should clearly state that religions can't weasel their way out of performing real charitable actions by simply claiming that they give away free bibles and literature.
It's time that the charities commission got out it's moral rudder to guide all these clueless religions. I'd like to see all the rich churches sell off their gold crucifixes and priceless artworks, and I'd like to see the Dubs dishing out soup to tramps. It's time the secularists showed religion what charity really is.

It is OFFICIAL they want MORE MONEY : NEW ANNOUNCEMENT!!!
by raymond frantz ini just came back from the meeting .although the local announcements have been abolished recently as an item for the second part , an elder came on the platform to announce that the society needs more money and there is a letter on the noticeboard for all the congragation to read to this effect.
although the announcement was read half heartedly (this elder's daughter is an apostate ,it looks like he knows what's going on) the implictions are dramatic .
the society in brief,requests any brother or sister with funds sitting on personal accounts to loan them to the society ,he didn't go into any specifics but i will take a picture of the letter next time and make it available here .. i'm not amazed that they're asking for money ,i thought it will happen sooner or later .what i'm amazed is that 99% of the congragation are oblivious to the financial crisis that the society finds itself these days and the reasons why .i can see the future now .the watchtower will be the fist part of the babylon the great to go down in a blaze of scandals and financial troubles !.

Yorkshire Ripper (brother Peter Sutcliffe) vouches for Jimmy Savile
by oldlightnewshite inhttp://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/4629105/peter-sutcliffe-claims-jimmy-savile-is-innocent.html.
according to the yorkshire ripper, a repentant psychopath who is now a jehovah's witness in prison, jimmy savile is just being exploited because he can't refute any of the 300 allegations of molestation and rape.
there are some who think that jimmy savile may even have had a psychopathic personality.

According to the Yorkshire Ripper, a repentant psychopath who is now a Jehovah's Witness in prison, Jimmy Savile is just being exploited because he can't refute any of the 300 allegations of molestation and rape. There are some who think that Jimmy Savile may even have had a psychopathic personality. Nurses at Broadmoor joked that Jimmy should have been a patient himself. Some even think him capable of murder.
Good job that brother Peter Sutcliffe is his character witness. That's alright then. He must be innocent.

So utterly hurt.
by LouBelle intoday something happened that hurt me more than the jwks, more than the shunning, more than my sexual molestation, more than my hellish years at caxton and more than the year i've just had.. the moment i was told this, i felt like my insides had been ripped, torn, shredded and my heart squeezed of it's very life.
i put my head in my hands and for the first time in my life let out a primal gut wrenching wail.. my father had asked my gran why she has been treating me the way she has (which hasn't been very nice).
he though it strange considering how in the past i have helped her and given her so much.

In the past I have been accused of malicious acts and theft from a (previously) good friend with early onset alzheimers and traits of autism. With even mild forms of these illnesses and syndromes, they experience delusions, suspicions and paranoia. I used to cook for this particular friend, once busted a rib while cleaning ivy from their house (fell of a ladder) and even unblocked their sewage pipes!
It's gotta hurt even more when it's a close family member. I really feel for you. Old age is a bitch, and your grandma's behavoiur probably won't get better.

Survey: Who here is an atheist? Who here still believes in God?
by Christ Alone ini just wanted to take a survey.
let's not let this get into the same old same old debate of atheism vs belief.
just respond with "atheist" or "believer" or "maybe god exists".
-
oldlightnewshite
Atheist. Totally discount god/creator/first cause..... but not sure about existence of spirit beings/lifeforms in this universe which are beyond our comprehension.
