18IICSA Final Report
by Phizzy inthe english legal system's independent inquiry into child sexual abuse has issued its final report, and its recommendations.
to read the report in full just google iicsa report, if you search on the iicsa site you can find the specific investigation into j.w's.. but this recommendation from the final report is interesting, esp.
the first and last sentences.

The sanctity of the confessional is , obviously, for people who CONFESS their sins. However if a child goes to a priest to report that they have been abused then that isn't a confession.
Surely then they should report this.

Canada exploring changes to tax rules that exempt religious organizations
by Scully inhttps://www.christianpost.com/news/evangelicals-oppose-removal-of-tax-status-in-canadian-proposal.html.
the proposed change will revoke charitable status of canadian churches who have an anti-abortion position, and will not give tax exemptions to organizations whose sole claim is to promote religion, which is the basic claim for all jw related entities in canada.
this will be interesting!.

Touchofgrey , individual church members pay taxes so fund the health and social services in their countries.

" whose sole claim is to promote religion "
Doesn't that describe most churches including those with no specific anti abortion stance ?
Or would churches that also engage in charitable activities be exempt? Most churches , certainly here in the UK , do strive to help people who are not congregation members in all sorts of ways .
However preaching the Gospel is the raison d'etre of all churches .

Age Appropriate Friends
by Riley inwe have a 25 year guy in our hall who is also a pioneer (which means he lives off his parents money), who likes to spend a lot of time with a 16 year old girl in the hall.
it is usually in a group setting but he seems to gravitate toward her.
he even has her auxilary pioneering , which is something i don't think any student trying to make the grades needs.

I got married for the first time at the age of 16 . I had to have my parents written permission. My now late husband had just turned 19 .
We had 42 happy years together until he died .
So l don't know what to think of the new law . I was pregnant at the time and we wanted our child to be legitimate.
This law would force young people to give birth while not married. I know that to many people that's not important but to some it might be .

Surely there should be a safeguarding officer.

Is there no safeguarding policy to report anything that you find suspicious or worrying?
