  Need input: elders showed up at our door today

  by de-opresso-liber in

  2. experiences

  so as i announced last week, my wife and i started our fade and i sent in a letter to our body that i was stepping down and cited the arc as the reason and insisted that we not be bothered.

  my wife told a few relatives in person that we weren't going to attend meetings any longer (immediate shunning occurred, the new videos must be effective) and that what we found with the arc shocked us etc etc.

  i have an inside track on how this is all going down by an awake elder on the body, co told them to handle the matter quickly.

  Excellent use of language in comments on this site compared with WT publications

  i think it's great.

  when i read posts on here i have to use a dictionary because of the high level of intellectual words yet, when i read a wtbts publication, i have to ignore all the bad grammar and punctuation!

  More bad news for the Organisation in Australia

  by no-zombie in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  it appears the the commonwealth government is bringing in a national compensation scheme for victims of institutional child sexual abuse with individuals able to claim up to $150,000 each.

  it's clear that the australian government will not be able to fund this program without serious money from the offending churches.

  so it's bad news for the organization today.. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-11-04/government-announces-redress-for-abuse-victims/7996092.

  Listener, that amount is only low when set against US payouts. There is NO WAY someone like Candace Conti would have got 20m in the UK. It's the US awards which are hugely out of touch with the rest of the world.

  I can't see anyway that WT will be bankrupted by these financial penalties, but at the end of the day it is the judgements against them which are important.

  I thought Kendal KH was on the High Street above one of the shops. Spent some great times up there visiting mates who lived there. Thankfully most are out 😊

  so let me get this straight.. the borg moves into their new corporate country club....

  by nowwhat? in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  with their luxurious lakeside condos.

  takes all the congregations funds promising new kingdom halls.

  but instead starts selling off kingdom halls ..then makes faithful old brothers and sisters drive 20-30 miles to another one, and .kicks out half the bethelites for only only tech savy college educated ones.can barely afford to send out printed publications anymore.

  Just occurred to me....

  These 'lakeside condos' that the governing body have moved into. Can't we see this on Google Maps/Earth? Anyone know how to do this?
