don't know which saturday it is but it's an open house for the surrounding community.
while on the your tour group , ask tough questions about the organization's policies on pedophiles and shunning.
do this as a concerned citizen and not a "raging apostate" .

this is part of the clam meeting this week.. how contradictory is it?.
first, they instruct people to avoid inactive ones and to shun them and to treat them the same as da'd or df'd ones, .
Do Not Give Up
19, 20. Why should we maintain a positive attitude regarding a prodigal child?
19 Helping a “prodigal” child ‘come to his senses’ requires patience and can be a challenge to parents and others. But do not give up. “Jehovah is not slow respecting his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with you because he does not desire any to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9) We have the Scriptural assurance that Jehovah wants people to repent and live. In fact, he has taken the initiative in making an arrangement to reconcile humans to himself. (2 Corinthians 5:18, 19) His patience has made it possible for millions to come to their senses.—Isaiah 2:2, 3
My note:
According to Cambridge Dictionary, when someone "comes to his senses", this means that he is starting to understand that he has been behaving stupidly. Thanks Gibbering Buddies for calling us "Inactive Ones" STUPID.
just your thoughts....i've been all over this site, everyone says, that if jehovah was backing the org.
then why so many things happen in the org.
child abuse, shunning, and so on....but my question or thought is why is the banning of witnesses all over the media, but the arc isn't wasn't picked up in the media, like this (oh little leaks here and there, but nothing major) nothing like the nyt or any major media venue where the friends would see it and couldn't deny it, even if they wanted to....why does the media care more about banning witnesses than child abuse...i know even if the arc was exposed many of the friends would stay, but would be shamed, because they talked about other religions...or maybe jehovah is bringing the org.
The Rothschild family controls most of the media worldwide and they also control many of the offshore banks used the Watchtower to deposit the proceeds of the sale of their Brooklyn properties which were sold to investors linked to the Rothschild empire.
i am convinced that world history will go on and on, and don't believe in an end time scenario.. but... and... .
when events occure like trumps tomahawk strike on syria, putting bombing a place and many, many coalitions are made with friends and enemies, my thought are going back to a 40 years ago, when i was a litle boy raising up in a cold war naval harbour town in northwest europe.
my jw grandfather learned me to investigate history.
Reminds me of the yellow book "1000 years" where I was continuously confounded by references to Gog of Magagog and twisted personal interpretations by Whacky Freddy of Bible prophecy. I was about 10 years old or so. What a strange time.
got this in my inbox today, thought it was kind of interesting.
i like the wording "all proceeds go to non-profit programs.
" i wonder what all exactly the "branch resource recovery team" gets involved in?.
Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
$$$ - $$$ - $$$
jw special conventions.
who's going?.
are you "special" enough to be chosen?.
My special specialty is being special... especially when special conventions require special specialists like me to make these special conventions even more special through my special demonstration of my special specialties among all the other special specialists in a way that is especially special.

the jehovah’s witnesses leadership (in northern spain) requested that a local material supplier (owned by rank-and file jws) not divulge that a million euros are unaccounted for.
the cult leadership requested peace from the congregation so as to put pressure on the material company’s owners (who are jws) and thereby avoid any possible litigation.. this case affects a well-known construction supply company with its headquarters in a large northern city.
Old Hippie... I didn't realize that "solid documentation" was required before posting friends' stories on this site. I don't have any friends' stories yet, but I'll be sure to remember this if I ever post any of my friend's stories in the future. Thanks for alerting us about this very important posting guideline.
from cronica (spain).
jehovah's witnesses 'plugged' a one million euro entrepreneurial hole.
the cult asked to maintain the "peace" of a congregation in galicia to avoid that the case of emptying of the company reached civil justice.. jws asked to hide a million-euro business hole at a supply company in la coruña (galicia).
Sorry Dark... I think you may have misread... Although what you stated in the title of your post may actually happen, I don't think it has yet.

(my own translation… yours may be better)
The Jehovah’s Witnesses leadership (in northern Spain) requested that a local material supplier (owned by rank-and file JWs) not divulge that a million euros are unaccounted for. The cult leadership requested peace from the congregation so as to put pressure on the material company’s owners (who are JWs) and thereby avoid any possible litigation.
This case affects a well-known construction supply company with its headquarters in a large northern city. The company, founded in 1975, belongs to a family that have been Jehovah’s Witnesses since birth.
When one of the company’s inheritors died in 2014, one of the daughters inherited his portion of the company. The remaining liquid assets remained in the hands of his closest people.
“ONE MILLION EUROS”
When his daughter received her share of the company’s stock, she discovered a notable gap in what she thought was a profitable company, as is evident from the documents has been able to supply this periodical.
Per these supplied documents, which are also in the hands of several congregations of Witnesses in the northern region, the shareholder had discovered a suspicious sale of an industrial warehouse and misappropriation of funds.
Coincidentally, a new company with a similar name emerged with a redirected web page and identical phone number. With this scheme, the parallel company would have then siphoned the money from the original one, its materials and its clients.
The plaintiff calculates that the damages caused by the alleged corrupt administration total one million euros which amounts to 400,000 euros in deviated liquid assets and 600,000 euros in materials that were transferred to the newly formed company.
THE WITNESSES SUGGEST KEEPING THIS QUIET
Since she was a Jehovah Witnesses, the plaintiff sought internal justice within her own doomsday cult. Her first complaint in 2014, which she has provided to this periodical, suggested that company stakeholders committed fraud, unfair competition and irregular administration.
The response from the central headquarters (bethel) in Ajalvir (Madrid) was very clear. “We encourage you to apply Biblical principles in all of your decisions and not be guided by your emotions.” says the response.
SECOND COMPLAINT
Not satisfied with this response, the affected persons took a further step. They faxed a certified letter to the Witnesses (in bethel) in which they insisted that outright fraud had taken place. Also, they requested the formation of a committee to investigate what happened.
(letter from bethel is pictured in article under this paragraph but not here)
Once again, the leadership of this cult responded imploring the family to avoid secular litigation. “Is money and our rights more important than peace and unity within the congregation?”, asks one passage of this letter from headquarters.
“We’re sure – continues the letter – that, as Christians, you desire to handle things as Jehovah would and try to be guided by our counsel and other advice.”
PRESSURES
In the remaining documentation, the cheated stakeholders emphasized the pressures they received.
Per how these documents read, the businesswoman rebukes the administrative wing of internal justice of her denomination for being so relentless with her even after all the money she handed over to her family when they needed her.
As is concluded from the latest communication with Ajalvir (bethel), the businesswoman has now appealed to the legal department of the world headquarters in the US in an attempt to reopen this investigation.
so a few months ago, a friend sent me an actual copy of finished mystery which was published in 1917 (not a pdf download... the actual book).
i must say, this was the most disturbing book i have ever had the displeasure of reading.
but i only read it because this was the main publication that was being distributed worldwide when jesus supposedly chose the watchtower in 1918 and i basically wanted to see for myself what jesus saw in the wt that would compel him to choose this religious corporation over all other religious denominations.. anyway, if anyone is interested in knowing the actual contents of this book, here are some bullet points i put together from some of the notes i took as i read the book:.
