@phizzy, it’s not going to happen Mandatory Reporting has been considered many times in the UK and consistently rejected, for many good reasons. Don’t get too excited!

The Guardian: Former Jehovah's Witness elders call for mandatory reporting of child sexual abuse
by AndersonsInfo inhttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/aug/10/former-jehovahs-witness-elders-call-for-mandatory-reporting-of-child-sexual-abuse?fbclid=iwar13k3rzferkzvjj5lbxegzhjr1dkfw34gqchgms4gdmhjufcv24hpzjcco.
two former jehovah’s witness elders have called for mandatory reporting of child sexual abuse, saying the organisation believes it is “answerable only to god”.. duncan corbett, who was an elder for 18 years, told the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse that the protection of minors and the handling of abuse claims must be taken out of the church’s hands.
“let them deal with the sin and the authorities handle the crime,” he told a hearing in london.. lloyd evans, another former elder who now campaigns against religious fundamentalism, said: “this is a group that feels they are answerable only to god … they don’t feel as though they need to yield to any regulations that are imposed on them.”.

UK, Modern Slavery Act 1915
by Half banana ini have just had a glitch in logging in to my bank account.
the consequence of which was to start from scratch and re-register.
on doing so i looked at the small print and noted that the bank was obliged to include a passage on the modern slavery act of 2015. the purpose of which is not simply to avoid and exclude complicity with human trafficking but to treat all customers, staff and business partners with appropriate human consideration and dignity.

And the Domestic Abuse Bill doesn’t cover religious coercion, it’s family matters , primarily in the Family Court.

No, it’s just because they don’t because it ISN’T a requirement, they aren’t legally obliged to do so. Many charities voluntarily publish a policy, CCofJW chooses not to.

None of the above, people prefer to read online and it’s much cheaper to deliver. The halls will all be open post COVID. Control and contributions won’t work with a video only model.

This thread has some of the lamest criticisms-
-firstly the chap is not a ‘brother’ he has a beard, witnesses aren’t pictured as having beards in ANY WT pictures
- arranged and photographed perfectly, like something come out of North Korea ??? Or any other publication that publishes photographs
- doing alright for himself, top of range Apple? It’s not , it’s not even a top range iMac??
- white wine? You need some glasses
Once again, these petty comments make opposers look silly - well done for the more substantive comments in this thread

Good work! The income from sales in the UK is about the cost of the Chelmsford Branch construction.

Summary of this tedious video, 23 minutes of my life that I wont get back: JP Morgan have provided as commercial mortgage to finance the Chelmsford build, they secured it by registering a charge on the site. That’s it!
So a bank could theoretically repossess and sell Chelmsford if the society defaulted and courts awarded possession. WT have probably got a development loan to bridge the sale of the London properties, so they used some reserves, have spent the money from Mill Hill sales as they have gone along, then are bridging the sales of IBSA house and the other properties not yet sold, When the remaining properties are sold , they repay the bridge, or with bank agreement use the proceeds to finance the next phase coming next year. This is hardly rocket science, and JP Morgan are one of their asset managers, managing far more for them than they are borrowing through what is probably a relatively modest credit line. So no, no Jewish conspiracy, the banks aren’t running watchtower, just a boring old bank loan. Videos like this play to the apostate stereotype..
