Whoops, sorry about my earlier post…
…I misread the OP thinking that the WTS was accusing the Commission of abusing them.
My bad.
in case no-one noticed this yet -.
just found this on nz herald website, - watchtower trying to wriggle out of responsibility by claiming not to be responsible for children and other vulnerable persons!.

Seriously?

Funny you should say that.
As a loyal practicing JW, you’re technically willing to believe and/or disbelieve things on much flimsier foundations.

1290 jw congregations have been deleted since 4th dec 2022. i have a full map so you can explore active/deleted congs, and also orphaned halls https://analytics.jws-library.one/viewmap.html.
many of the deletions in the usa appear to be foreign language groups.
@ careful…

Fish:
So, are you saying that you believe the guy is innocent?
So, are you saying that you think the plaintiffs are all lying?
So, are you saying that the courts are right?
So, are you saying that the courts are wrong?
See, I can do it, too.

Funny, considering KHs in central Africa aren’t much more that dialed-up gazebos you could build for about 50 bucks with local muscle and materials.
from what i can see no such thing is happening.i became a jw in 1960 and remained for about 30 years and the numbers of active jw`s today in the world are far greater than they were back then.. and here in australia the numbers are much higher than they were back then .. so i don`t see that their in decline or have any worries about losing support .. don`t the numbers speak for themselves ?.
is it just wishful thinking on your part ?.
Constant reductions in staff and product output, unending legal battles, and regular liquidation of assets to cover expenses are not typically signs of robust financial health.
i had a luncheon yesterday with and aunt and cousin.
the only reason i went, and endured it, was because my father who can’t drive wanted to see them.
as i sat there eating the lunch at the restaurant, i couldn’t help think how totally oblivious they are to what’s going on, in an ever expanding organisation of the happiest people on earth.
Ding - “ Sometimes when I drive past a Kingdom Hall and see the parking lot full I want to walk inside, start reciting all the false prophecies and doctrinal flip flops, and yell, ‘Wake up, people!’…"
No point.
Odds are good said Kingdom Hall’ll be sold off with three quarters of the membership scattered to the four winds within the next half decade, anyway.

sunday, may 28, 2006, is the fourth anniversary from when a threshold was crossed into uncharted waters.
on may 28, 2002, the u.s. television news program, dateline, publicized to millions of viewers the facts about watchtower's deceitful child abuse policies which protect pedophiles who target and molest jws' vulnerable children.
subsequently, this subject caught the interest of media throughout the world who, through careful investigation, substantiated the allegations made on dateline.
Wow. Blast from the past.
Good stuff, though… the Org really went into Siege Mode what this dropped.
Just put a Bandaid on a bleeding stump, though, if you ask me.
