  as many of you know my brother an elder was called on to sit in a "judicial committee" re-instatement.. the brother has in the past done all he can to prove he is repentant but this time the co was here and apparently had a few things to say to the cobe when they were discussing the process.

  the co asked why the poor guy had four re-instatement hearings and why the co had received a letter from him detailing that he "did not think he could do anymore".. anyway, long story short, the co sat in the hearing and hey presto the brother was re-instated.

  my brother and the co spoke with the brother and the co said that he had done well and was sorry that the process has taken so long and shook his hand.. now he mentioned the latest letter about confidentiality and said that the society is being hit left right and center with civil lawsuits and are scared as the have no way of defending them.

  a friend just showed me a message from steven unthank on facebook where he mentioned (about 4 hours ago) that the state of victoria will be launching an investigation into all religions, including the jehovah's witnesses... he also mentioned that he will likely testify.. i don't know anything else about this because the message was brief, but i assume it has something to do with the protection of pedophiles.... has anyone else heard this yet?.

  WTBTS and government money

  by The JHWH in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  from what i understand is, that the wtbts isn't funded by (any?

  ) government(s).. this would be very understandable, in order to get money from a government, they would probably need to open their books,.

  what i would like know is: has the wtbts appealed for government money?

  Judicial Committees prove that God is not backing the WTBTS!!!

  judicial committees prove that god is not backing the wtbts!!!.

  on another thread, one poster shared a humiliating experience they had in a judicial committee hearing.

  the poster was asked, as it typical of such hearings, a series of highly personal and extremely intrusive questions regarding their sexual activities.

  Stopped Dead Again.

  as many of you are aware my brother who is an elder, shared with me another "shut this down moment" in a jc.

  a brother who was to go before another body of elders told them that since they had contacted his former congregation they had lost their ecclesiastical privelege and that information they had is now subject to the data protection law including records etc.

  when he was told he could not take notes he told the elders the same that they had to abide by the same non scriptural mandate.. apparently it was enough to shut the proceedings down until they called the "mother ship" for instructions.. they were told not to proceed with anything at this time until they got back to the elders.. my brother who hates jc totally said that more and more they are finding people quoting the law to them and the elders are backing off, not sure about the us where they can do anything they please but in the uk the dpa has really messed things up for the society.

  Serena wants to marry a JW - does anyone want to be evenly yoked?

  http://www.s2smagazine.com/stories/2012/03/serena-williams-wants-man-her-faith.

  she says that she is "studying" to become a jw , so i guess that fits in with the report that her & venus are ubps , not baptised.. personally i prefer caroline woznaicki , but i don't doubt that there will be a quite a few jw guys that regard her as ace & might be tempted to play mixed doubles , court and have a love game with serena.

  and with her 85 million usd wealth , i'm guessing that that part time janitor or window washing job might no longer be necessary..

  i just heard this within the last day.. i had no clue that the society had a travel agancy within its offices!.

  anyhoo, in the area i live they called numerous hotels for deals for the convention and the gm whom i know through friends told me that they play hardball in getting the maximum commission possible for refering people.

  he said the average is about 10 to 15 percent of the room cost.
