Yes, the whole charity status is their life line, without that they would go under financially

They need to be a legal entity for human law: but which law?
by psyco ini could be mr. green and, due to mistrust considering the times and what is happening, study with the jws as mr. brown.. get baptized as mr. brown.. become one of their congregation elders as mr. brown.. etc.
etc.. all this since i am not required to provide any signature and/or document to identify myself as mr. brown.. are they complying with human law?
but which law?.

Churches are not legally obliged to become corporations or charities, they all do it for the tax benefits though

unbaptized boy having priority over women
by enoughisenough ini was thinking about the male children ( even unbaptized ) being placed ahead of the sisters.
; and i thought the jw were raising a bunch of misogynist.
would these kids not feel more important than their mothers let alone other women.

God cursed Eve with 'your craving will be for your husband but he will dominate you', historically men translated that as 'she wants to have a monogamous marriage but I can do what I like while she has to be faithful to me alone', what it actually means is that women crave respect and recognition from their men.
This doesn't mean that men don't have the choice to behave better, Jesus obviously thinks they can and so did the Apostles, but men prefer to interpret God's words as a licence for bad behaviour.

Why the term "disfellowshipped " was removed

Dictionary defines remove as moving something or someone away from where it was. Doesn't sound voluntary to me, actually sounds worse than disfellowshipping.

Why do exJWs sign disassociation letters?
by psyco inby law, they ask you to sign to leave a society/organization when, by the same law, they do not ask you to sign to join it.. imagine being in court with a representative of the jws.. the judge asks you: "are you a jw?"..
you could respond: "let them prove it!"..
question: how would they prove it?

I remember being asked to sign a publisher record card, they were updated every x amount of years. I wonder of those are still in use nowadays?

Paul's letters are not all in the Bible, so we don't have a full picture of why he wrote what he did. It is very likely, going by context, that there was an issue with the women in that particular congregation, like with other corrections and admonitions in his letters, that didn't make it a blanket rule for all congregations.
It's also very possible that these anti women verses were added at a much later date, and not by the original writer at all.
Beroean Voices channel on YouTube has been an eye opener for me regarding the history, accuracy and origin of the NT.
'All scripture is inspired of God' was written before the NT even existed, what we have now, is what the Catholic Church deemed 'holy scripture' in the 3rd century. And they had no original writings to go on, only copies. Copies full of mistakes, damaged and marginal notes of which no one knows if they were in the original or added afterwards.
Makes we wonder what they kept hidden in the Vatican vaults?

It's actually disgusting to read, children more qualified to serve God than women is my take away. And do NOT bother sending your time or money to your imprisoned brothers, better give it to us instead 😡😡 Totally opposite to how first century Christians looked after each other!
Is that letter read out at a public meeting?

Wow I did not know that about the Free Masons passing the bread and wine!
I find that JWs in general don't believe Freemasons actually exist, a clever ploy by the borg!
