  Walter meaty: Fraudster butcher in £3.3million tax con

  Gary Turner convinced people he ran a meat wholesalers famous for its sausage rolls – but the firm had been bust for 14 years.

  His Walter Mitty-type fantasy was in fact a ruse to rip off the taxpayer by continuing to claim vast sums of VAT from HMRC on the basis he was still in charge of a going concern.

  And the cash he gained funded a luxury lifestyle.

  When Turner’s detached house was raided, revenue officers found five luxury cars with personalised number plates and a watch collection worth more than £35,000, including two Rolexes valued at £17,420.

  A £4,600 juke box and three guitars costing £2,000 were also discovered.

  It also emerged he spent £7,000 on family holidays to Spain and used more taxpayer money to build a new house with a top of the range kitchen and bathroom as well as two other properties.

  Turner, 47 a Jehovah’s Witness, was declaring huge profits from his non-existent business and claiming back tens of thousands of pounds every year.

  i remember going to a new school, and before i said anything there were a few kids poking fun at jehovah.

  jehovah this and that .

  at no stage did i ever hear anyone mention any other god or religion in conversation or playground banter.

  That letter from WTS is pure unadulterated bullshit.

  They still attend NGO meetings and represent the interests of JW's today (eg; conscription in S. Korea) . . . they just do it through individuals and paper organisations in order to hide it. They still have to swear allegiance to the UN charter. Nothing changed apart from the fact it became well known and their blatant hypocrisy was showing . . . again. The hypocrisy is still there . . . it's just not showing anymore.

  ok - we have "direction".

  delete the word society we don't talk about the society any more.

  we talk about the organization.

  Any reference to the "society" if unchallenged at the time, carries legal implications because WTB&TS is a legal entity.

  The "organisation" on the other hand is a generic phrase used loosely to describe a group of volunteers acting as individuals . . . no legal connection. No legal liability.

  To use Sabs illustration . . . only someone with free will can decide to become a robot.

  So instead of making robots . . . god made people with free will to decide to become robots for themselves. God knew in advance that some wouldn't use their free will to become robots, so that those free-will robots could feel good about their decision to become robots. And those who refuse to become robots would feel bad about being dead. God's lesson . . . you just have to use your free will wisely . . . by relinquishing it and obeying me . . . willfully. If you don't I'll kill you. Have I got that right?
