  Now you are arguing semantics, so argue with yourself.

  Defensive. No, just not going to argue/discuss something that happened 30 years ago under a different leadership and different legal and financial structure. It’s irrelevant now.

  It was THIRTY YEARS AGO! Move on. As you say, they are not in financial trouble today, so what happened then has no financial consequences that we are seeing today. No current GB member was on the GB in 1990, and the WT has been legally reorganized since. Jesus dude...

  Look, I am not going to argue over something of little consequence that’s about 30 years old. You have your views, and I’ll have mine.

  And to add, before the donation based only change, a person still could get the magazine if they didn’t contribute any to the printing costs. How many organizations selling you something lets you have it without paying?

  You’re stating the obvious, but before you were ambiguous, and apparently, you weren’t talking about those reasons before as it seem to be more about attributing motives to the change.

  Anyway, its and bad financial and environmental management to keep printing in this day and age.

  And when the government attempts to tax them for something they were not doing (selling literature), it was reasonable to make it donation based only, as the intent was clearly to help pay for printing costs, not to make a profit.

  Pope meets victims of child sexual abuse in Chile and cries with them. WHAT ABOUT THE GB, WHEN WILL THEY FOLLOW RCC???

  the title speaks for itself.

  lots of coverage of the pope's personal (!

  about a month ago we all could read jochie's post regarding investigation of sexual abuse among jw's in the netherlands.

  I just wanted to chime in on this: you don’t have to apologize for something you are not guilty of. The pope is apologizing because the RCC time and time again, admitted that it’s leaders hide abuse and shifted pedophile priests. To date, they do not deny that they are responsible for it. Secondly, the vast majority of abusers on the RCC were priests, and their abuse was done during their duties as priests (meaning, in the church).

  This is really in stark contrast with JW’s, where the vast majority of child abuse is done by non-elder family members, in the home. Why should the gb apologize for the crimes members commit outside of the Hall?

  Should an employer “apologize” to a bank because one of its employees decided to rob it?

  So trying to compare an institution that admits it fostered an environment that permitted child abuse to one that didn’t foster such an environment is really asinine.

  Freddo —

  The envy and self-deceptive delusion is just oozing from that hate-rant of yours.

  lol — I don’t need “inside information”. One just needs to be observant to connect the dots, divorced from biased and wishful thinking (i.e the organization is “going broke”).

  Technology is expensive, especially on this scale. Broke organizations simply cannot afford this sort of overhaul.
