i was wondering if co's who get 'green handshakes' ever report their 'income' from these jw benefits?
in the us even gifts beyond a certain amount must be reported.
jw's like to claim how honest they are, do they report all their income?.
The giver is taxed after the threshold to be clear.
There are ESTATE PLANNING professionals to advise for those looking to distribute their assets gradually before death to ANY heirs to avoid tax penalties. I’m pretty sure here are experts in Wallkill to advise any JWs who want to lessen their estate tax burden.
If anyone especially loves their CO or a GB member, they can double the donation if half goes to wife. Because women have no other glory than that in the borg.

I thought gifts are only taxable to giver if more than a certain amount.
i'm having one of those days where i feel lonely and wish i had someone to just hang out with.
my husband got disfellowshipped 3 years ago and even though i didn't do anything wrong i was pushed away.
my so called "friends" decided to avoid me.
Don’t be afraid of worldly friends. If you open yourself up to friendships, some will take, some will tank and some will fizzle away. And that’s ok. You will learn to choose friends that suit YOU rather than being stuck with pre approved WT associations by default.
i bought a book that was published by one brother in our area.
the title, if only, the brother didnt change his name he is, alex bogdanov, to support this brother i bought his book.
it is fiction about couples and i didnt think nothing of it, but after reading a few chapters one of the characters is an ex jw, i don’t think this character is disfellowshipped in the book, but she is definitely not active.
If you know the brother and it’s well known he wrote the book, your excuse is that you are supporting your brother. Haven’t had much of a chance to read it yet and have you( the interrogator) read it yet? And move on.
any jw's ex or pimo ones aware of child abuse cases in india.
.
if there would be seems like they would conceal it alot in india.
I can imagine with the honor culture on top of the JW indoctrination that it is much worse for the victim when the abuse comes from outside their household. Telling would have put extra layers of shame on the victim and their family. The honor culture is independent of religion in South Asia, but religion is often twisted even further to accommodate abusers and silence the abused. Unfortunately in the JW culture, the religious teaching is already skewed to favor the abusers.
i see there has already been discussion over lloyd’s new book how to leave the jehovah's witnesses.
this includes discussion around his personality, motives and financial gains.
i have written a foreword for this book, because it is an important topic that has not been covered in such a complete format before.
JWs s are taught from thefirst how critically important It was that no one in the organization is paid a salary or wage. We are taught that any perceived moral or social failure demanded our scorn rejection and shunning.
lloyd is human and shows us himself in a open honest way. So what if he makes money. I wish we all could get something back for our wasted years and hard won experience. I’ve seen blogs and folks making picture perfect videos. Lloyd is about the content and he doesn’t grovel enough to please everyone. Well, so far he has shown more character than most leading politician types and I’m pretty sure he isn’t eating off of a 30K dining table paid for by you so I’m good. He’s not my idol my leader my minister or my husband. I just don’t watch you tubers that offer me no value. I don’t go anywhere dissing them. Life is too short and we only get this one for a guarantee and there is no warranty of workmanship so just move on if you don’t like someone. I find some of the couples to be annoying and often drama queens, but they still offer good info sometimes. I like the variety, but I like apostate chick best. Give me humor and it’s like sugar to wash down the medicine.
so i donate blood because i can.
i donate every 4 months when the bloodmobile comes to my place of work.
i know it helps.. what about you, do you donate blood?
I did until my travels and health prevented it. I have worked with blood donation sites as a helper.
most jws don't see this as a problem.
they reason that.
just like the jws, the police will not convict a pedophile over the story of one victim alone, there must be collaborative evidence.
Legislative action could be a focus of any and all so called clerical privileges are removed and all who have knowledge of a crime against a minor or vulnerable citizen are required to report it.
Then there is a line down in the sand that can provide no one with an excuse to keep these crimes hidden from authoritie.
Clearly removing the sin/crime distinction with jws(or any group) is not going to be possible, but holding every elder, parent and any person with knowledge of abuse criminally and civilly liable could change things, especially if the repercussions were severe enough.
so lloyd evans will shortly be releasing his new book how to leave the jehovah's witnesses.
i do enjoy his rebuttals and the stuff he manages to get hold of and leak.
but i'm struggling to understand what he could possibly write to merit a whole book.. all info on how to leave is right here on this forum.
I like lloyd and the kooky couple in Az but they are so long winded. I don't usually take the time.
I love Lloyd because he has an entirely non JW persona, looking scruffy and a bit unwashed. He's not prettying up to us or anyone. I love me a rebel. Just talk faster!
I like shorter videos and humor is appreciated. The apostate chick should do more, I love her. Lots of ex jws are just boring and still speak and act like jws. I can't hear them droning even when the content might be interesting. Some present as if they are giving a talk. Aaaargghh. I gave up that crap!

There is not much new to say about anything that hasn’t been said yet, both here, in print, etc. Some of us hear it better or get more insight from one account or storyteller. Repetition is a learning tool for many. This site and all the new YouTube stories, etc-there is nothing new but new people awaken, new mediums, new scandals(ssdd) mean that there will always be new books and stories and newspapers . Why not Lloyd? Or Barbara or pale emperor. Who was speaking of writing one also wasn’t he?
