wondering if anyone here knows why local congregations in ecuador do not have accounts under the congregation’s name.

i just found out they use the personal information of one of the elder’s 😳 wtf .

what’s the legal reason for this?

@New day: Equador is pretty much a free and open and relatively stable country since the early 80s. It’s also a very religiously diverse country, so it’s unlikely they would tax religion, you’d hear them complaining loudly like they do about France and Russia.

The WTBTS doesn’t know it is being stolen from if it disappears between the box in the hall and the bank. I happen to know from experience it’s rather easy to divert funds from one set of books to the other and even completely have it disappear from the books into someone’s pocket. I know at least one person that was disfellowshipped for doing it.

Delroy Grant the "Nightstalker"

@diogenesister: that isn’t true. Child rape and pedophilia happen in both white and black communities, there is a stigma in the black community against reporting to the police and there is a lot of normalization in that community however so it is often not reported. Most research even explicitly excludes blacks https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1130987/ but there is plenty of evidence that the problem is a lot deeper, generational and culturally accepted amongst blacks.

The media also play a role in this as they tend to amplify the stories about white people ‘doing something bad’ (it happens a lot less in relation to the share of population, so it’s more newsworthy) a lot more than blacks (based on crime statistics, you should see a lot more black people in the news if reporting was done on every crime)

In regards the elderly, more black people work in lower end healthcare jobs such as elder care and nursing, and again, that behavior is normalized, especially against elderly of non-black races (black supremacy has been a thing since the late 50s and is now deeply engrained). So there is more opportunity, it is acceptable within the black community, hence you hear about it more.

HLC confidentiality

by shadowclone in

lots of hospitals have hired jw's as bloodless care manager.

if they find out that a jw agrees to take blood, what is their protocol in such a case?

usa scenario so hippa is a factor.

Anony Mous

Volunteers or not, they have to follow HIPAA protocols. The hospital is liable for all actions of their representatives, that includes contractors, volunteers, students, clergy etc whether they are paid or not.

It doesn't matter what happens to the victim as a result, if anyone representing the hospital discloses any medical information to another elder or the organization, they're in violation of HIPAA protocols.

In the EU it probably would be a GDPR violation and the UK has similar provisions. Although public healthcare doesn't necessarily offer bloodless solutions as they are too expensive. I know back in the day there were private hospitals in the EU that would do this, but it was pricey.

Annual Meeting

is it the annual meeting this weekend?

any insights on "new light" or new releases?.

Anony Mous

So their excuse to build a media center by 2026 is that this is for the new world. So they’re setting a new end date now (sometime in the next 5 years).

Not only that, but after the pictures we see in all the books, like the Revelation book, of meteors and burning cities, they believe they will have the Internet up and running in no time, without any telephone poles or roads or big buildings to speak of in any of the pictures.

I mean, it just sounds more and more ridiculous these excuses. Are they going to retcon the Bethel complex they built in all these pictures of god overseeing the paradise, shouldn’t like their complex be shown on earth instead of the implied elder on the porch of some wood bungalow in a tropical environment?

Anony Mous

Sounds like someone (else) is fleecing the flock, the local congregation does not have a bank account under its legal name (the corporation that owns the deed and is owned by the WTBTS does, but not the legal entity that is the congregation and is owned by the elders) and they would only use this account for making cash deposits.

It would definitely not be under the name of one of the elders, it would be something like “Kingdom Hall of <name of the area>” and require 2 signatures for withdrawals. The “Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses <name of the area>” should not have any assets and at no point would they allow “Joe Elder” to be the congregation bank account.

All other bank transactions, including savings and credit card donations is handled directly by the local branch office.

I guess good for him, he’s probably creaming off a nice chunk before forwarding. As long as he can hide it from the others, I know it’s pretty simple to use your authority and subvert a younger MS to do this. Your CO must be laying into the donation thing pretty hard every time he comes though.

GENDER PRONOUNS

by JohnTron72 in

just to put it out there, the whole gender pronouns idea being pushed by the lgbtq+ minorities is just a way to try to hide the sin of homosexuality.

if you can void people talking about your true sexual identity then it seems there is no sin anymore if two they or them of the same sex are together.

example of the coverup: ("i don't identify as either gender"), so the kids i'm raising in a lesbian relationship need not speak of me as a mom or any other female term and we all don't have to feel any stigma attached to the true terms so, any shame we might feel is hidden anyway.

Anony Mous

Gender pronouns simply make everyone a victim. And your level of victim hood amongst the left is your status. If you’re not a normal, you’re a victim, so if you don’t have a reason to complain about your lot in life, make yourself a victim to get attention.

Be crazy, I won’t hire anyone with a pronoun marker on their resume.

I found a bunch the other day on a commercial real estate website. Simply filter by house of worship or church and then look for all the plain buildings without windows but with a massive overhang on the entrance.

So much for Jebooger’s protection. The WTBTS has always been weird, a left wing evangelical group.

Where to flee Covid mandates and restrictions?

by Kosonen in

at the moment there does not seem to be any place to flee to from covid mandates and restrictions.

we are stuck like the first century christians in jerusalem.

but jesus said when the disgusting thing would stand in the holy place, it was time to swiftly flee to the mountains.. will jehovah god open a path to security where we can be in safety?

Anony Mous

@joey jojo: If you think this is all temporary, you are grossly mistaken. Australia is still ticking up in cases and deaths, regardless of the lockdowns. All the lockdowns were implemented in September and October of 2020 and they didn't have any cases till July of 2021, yet they didn't lift the lockdowns. Instead, they intensified the lockdowns and since then cases are spiking again.

This thing isn't going away, it's going to be a repetitive flu-like disease that kills a minority of the weak and elderly, just like the flu and pneumonia and cancer and heart disease does kill much more people on an annual basis.

@rafe: Millions are dead BECAUSE the lockdowns, there is a massive spike every time lockdowns and mandates are initiated because they are counterproductive, there is plenty of scientific evidence for those facts. Instead we are promoting a vaccine during a pandemic, so the virus can evolve around the vaccines. At no point in history did we give vaccines during pandemics. You let the pandemic burn out and then vaccinate so it doesn't return.

PE1905: Public Inquiry into the response of religious organisations to allegations of child sexual abuse since 1950

hi guys.

i live in scotland.

i need help from the xjw community.

Anony Mous

Given your age, it may be too late, but have you talked with a barrister about taking action personally against your abusers and the elders? That's often better than a big government investigation that basically ends up nowhere.
