there is an article today in daily mail one of the largest uk newspapers about the plymouth brethren that should worry every thinking jehovah's witness.. the charities commision in britain is threatening the charitable status of a small offshoot of the aglican church the plymouth brethren .the reason ?
they don't perform enough charitable work for their local community .
at a time where the tax avoidance of large businesses such as google ,ebay,amazon and starbucks is under serious question in britain ,the charities commision's investigation into this little church's charitable status comes as no surprise .the 2006 charities act forced charities, often at high cost, to 'demonstrate' value to society .so far being a christian church automatically exempt you off taxes ,this is not the case anymore .
SIMON : I'm not taking sides, the papers and public forums describe these Secularists ,christian haters ,I don't .
Freedom of Speech ,that includes your freedom to insult other people's faith or take a radical stance on homosexuality ,is under attack from the new censorship laws .There is currently a pettition for a change in this law from a group of mp's and others with Rowan Atkinson at the front, these people can see behind the law and are concerned for the future of our democracy in Britain

there is an underground attack on Christianity in Britain that can be found on many levels of society and goverment today :
1. Homosexual interests are promoted and supported hidden behind equality rights
2. Laws are passed that allow for higher scrutiny of religious groups that hide behind charitable status
3.Free Speech is threatened by new Censorship Laws
I don't think this is a coincidence but a taste of things to come

Considering the election results this week ,there is a good chance the next goverment will be Labour ,who are almost in their entirety Secularists and "policily correct " inclined .This argument won't go away it will only grow ...

There is an article today in DAILY MAIL one of the largest UK NEWSPAPERS about the Plymouth Brethren that should worry every thinking Jehovah's Witness.
The Charities Commision in Britain is threatening the charitable status of a small offshoot of the Aglican Church the Plymouth Brethren .The reason ? They don't perform enough charitable work for their local community . At a time where the tax avoidance of large businesses such as Google ,Ebay,Amazon and Starbucks is under serious question in Britain ,the Charities Commision's investigation into this little church's charitable status comes as no surprise .The 2006 Charities Act forced charities, often at high cost, to 'demonstrate' value to society .So far being a Christian Church automatically exempt you off taxes ,this is not the case anymore . There is a war waging at the moment between Christian-hating Secularists and the last Torry MP's who believe that Religion is a force for good .
The question is :If Plymouth Brethren's Charitable Status is under question ,a church that is known for handing soup to the poor ,how easy would it be for the Watchtower to prove that they are a "giving" charity ? value for the community ?
This is a test case but definetely a sign for things to come ...

annual meeting reportfood at the proper timean audience of thousands listened to encouraging reports and an exciting discussion of matthew 24:45-47 at the 128th annual meeting of the watch tower bible and tract society of pennsylvania.. .
They lie about the original text ,the verse is " ελθον " and not just a form of the verb come "ερχομαι" but the past tense of it .Ελθον means "having come " and not "on arrival" which makes it sound as if a prolonged period of presence will follow .The Chirst will comwe in Armageddon and not in 1919 ,he nver chose them ,he never will because they are liars ,and the father of the lie is Satan

Sorry for the delay ,I have the letter and will uploaded here over the weekend (sorry I've been quite busy) ,then I'm going to need your feedback on this letter .I had to smuggled out of the meeting (theoctatic warfare?)
i just came back from the meeting .although the local announcements have been abolished recently as an item for the second part , an elder came on the platform to announce that the society needs more money and there is a letter on the noticeboard for all the congragation to read to this effect.
although the announcement was read half heartedly (this elder's daughter is an apostate ,it looks like he knows what's going on) the implictions are dramatic .
the society in brief,requests any brother or sister with funds sitting on personal accounts to loan them to the society ,he didn't go into any specifics but i will take a picture of the letter next time and make it available here .. i'm not amazed that they're asking for money ,i thought it will happen sooner or later .what i'm amazed is that 99% of the congragation are oblivious to the financial crisis that the society finds itself these days and the reasons why .i can see the future now .the watchtower will be the fist part of the babylon the great to go down in a blaze of scandals and financial troubles !.
I was the Cong Accountant and the donation from cogragations to the Society is old news but this is different ...
