i haven't seen this mentioned yet.
last year in the uk, shortly after the money grab that everyone had, we had a video and letter (both probably still available from atlantis) appealing for money for the new bethel and slips were handed out etc.
this means that most uk congregations are sending a regular donation specifically for the chelmsford build.
First there is the largest cull ever since the org began.
So when all the bethelites have been kicked out they will sell loads of prime property in London even before they move to chelmsford.
Its about 6 years away so they say when the branch will move and sell the remaining properties.
But they are putting brothers three to a room, so they can sell as many properties as possible.
there was a letter sent to elders in australia on 18th november 2015 asking for details of publishers that are solicitors, barristers and accountants.
what would be their motive for these details?
the rest of the letter outlines 8 specific pieces of information to compile and send to bethel's legal department, and reiterates to collect the information only be "as you understand, without consulting the publisher.
this article suggests that there are projects being halted, but chelmsford isn't one of them.
can someone from the uk tell me if this article was written by a reputable and known publisher?
plans for huge jehovah's witnesses hq continues.
In a recent sex abuse case agains the WT (http://jwsurvey.org/cedars-blog/watchtower-ordered-to-pay-13-5-million-in-sex-abuse-case-as-gerrit-losch-fails-to-testify), the WTS was requested to provide both their "pedophile database" as evidence, and GB member Gerritt Loche for testimony.
They refused.
As a result, they were not permitted to make any testimony on their own behalf ("contempt of court", after all), for all intents and purposes forfeiting their side in the case, and setting what I consider a virtually foolproof precedent to beat them in any future child-abuse-related cases.
And IMO, the WT Legal Dept. would have to be total f**king morons not to have realized this... therefore, they expect to lose lots and big in the near future.
When I first read about it, my immediate thought was, "are they (the WTS) crazy, or just plain stupid???", but considerable discussion has taken place here over the subject, and some of us have concluded that there is a valid (if extremely dark) explanation as to whythe WTs and its lawyers may have refused to cooperate.

There may well be paedophiles coming to meetings and nobody knows about it, but what can each congregation do about it?
But Im certain once it is known about they are not keeping it secret, they inform the authorities ASAP. And then every care is made being very careful in that conregation.
This conspiracry theory that pedos are protected and there is a pedo ring going up to the top is rubbish.
an updated list of documents relating to the charity commission investigation into watchtower of britain and jehovah's witnesses are available on jw leaks.. jw leaks.
original charity commission press release.
press release.
Again evidence of what?
Could somebody sum up, what has been done wrong?
please be aware of everything that is happening around the world at this moment in time.
this goes to anyone, ex-communicated, removed, serving, believer and non.
at this point in my observations i have realized many religions/ideologies know there is some sort "end of time" or a transition into a new order of living in this earth.

The may be flush in assets, but it's the cash flow that seems to be drying up.
The way they lost the Campos sexual abuse case last year has set a virtually foolproof precedent to beat them in court, and the lawsuits are piling up... not to mention many of us suspect that enough "conscious-classers" (those still stuck in, but know the TATT) have quit donating.
What is TATT?
This is new to me about that case last year. What has changed?
Arent there paedophiles infiltrating many organisations around the world? Why is the JW organisation different?
I dont understand how if a paedophile is in JW org, why are the other members at the top responsible?
why is there a huge cull going on of all bethels around the world?.
about 80% cull within the next year?.
some have been in bethel for decades and will be sent packing, the 20% of bethelites who stay will have to do their own food, laundry and clean their flat.
it seems unbelievable but turkey (a nato member state) shooting down a russian jet fighter on their syrian border seems to be "meh" news and no one is too bothered about it too much.. the world seems a bit upside down right now.
i don't think a lot of countries really know who the hell they are fighting and who is and isn't on their side in it all and really what is going on.. smaller incidents than this have led to major conflicts in the past but hopefully calm heads will prevail.
china shot down a us spy plane years ago and the world survived and forgot about it so things will move on i'm sure.. i'm guessing the price turkey pays for their gas supply from russia will be going up soon though.. man, that republican primary is sucking all the news attention from the room.
crofton wins key role on jehovah's witnesses campus.
6 may 2015 | by yoosof farah.
engineer lands role on scheme that will predominantly be designed and constructed by volunteers.
What no JW will ask is what happens to all the cash that they receive when they sell Mill Hill Bethel, the Bittacy Hill factory, and all the houses etc they already own around the old site.
A 5 bedroom house in that area goes for over a Million £. Think how many such properties they can put on 22 acres !
With the whole package, it will gross around 3 Billion £, less building costs. I would say that they have already covered the cost of the new place, plus a huge profit. As they are going to get a lot of donations for the new project, before they develop or sell the old Site plus the other buildings, they are going to turn a nice profit.
All this is Tax Free of course. At the expense of the U.K Tax payers.
I know the answer to this, but are they a Religion, or a Property Development Company ?
Are they, or are they not, a HUGE SCAM ?
-
Answer is, they are the number one property development company on Earth. McDonalds comes in second place and the Vatican/Catholic Chruch third place.
But McDonalds and the Vatican dont hold as many buildings in their portfolio in EVERY single country on the planet, (almost) even in North Korea, and the Middle East there are top secret JW safe houses.
