  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).

  The way that I read it "they don't this matter in open court, to not bring reproach". The truth is that maybe some heavy's at Bethel have been getting benefits from the scam and they don't want people digging into this. The affected parties are wasting their time looking for an internal solution and not going to Caesar;

  This is local government action, this is most backwards part of the country; the local laws are sometimes indigenous laws with "caciques" ignoring the central government.

  As you stated the comment was hidden.

  I kind of wondered when I saw that at age 15 he went by himself to the police station to ask about his uncle, as a JW you just don't do that in Cuba. Also the birthday.

  Who can explain why the "Two Witness" rule is wrong, in the simplest term?

  by DATA-DOG in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  with all the legalese being tossed around, and the expert manipulation on the part of the wtbts, who can explain why the "two witness" is being perverted by the wtbts?

  i don't care if you're a bible believer and want to approach this from a biblical standpoint, or if you simply use logic and reason.

  how would you explain this subject to a j-dub, or even a non-dub?.

  Was good for the legal system at that time, that system is not in force anymore and outdated.

  Nota Aclaratoria sobre la golpiza al menor de edad en Morón. Luis Lemagne Milian, de solo 15 años de edad NO ES TESTIGO DE JEHOVÁ, sus padres y demás familiares si pertenecen a esa religión. Ha sido un error de redacción en el encabezamiento de la noticia. No obstante el peso de la crónica radica en la brutalidad de la policía.

  
  

  They have this notation at the link, the 
  minor is not a JW, the family is.

  Sadly during the cold war the Watchtower was clearly on the anti soviet side, when I wrote about the Cuban experience I cited Awake 9/8/1960 page 16 under "Soviet master plan for world control" as an example of anti communist propaganda.

  Most likely the current Russian Government has a lot memories and record about that time period and they don't have much use for the Watchtower.

  Proscribing them is wrong.

  Feelings of Betrayal After Catholic Church Is Leased to Coptic Parish

  by Hecce in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  interesting article showing the different attitudes between the watchtower and the catholic church.

  when a kingdom hall or assembly hall is sold, we will have witnesses that are unhappy; none of them will dare to express that in public or do anything about it.

  they know that one way or another that will result in retributions.. since their church was shut down in a round of parish mergers in 2015, the group has been fighting to reopen it through prayer vigils and a continued legal appeal before the vatican.

  Since their church was shut down in a round of parish mergers in 2015, the group has been fighting to reopen it through prayer vigils and a continued legal appeal before the Vatican. But the archbishop of New York, Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan, has been pursuing a different plan, taking the matter of this East 62nd Street chapel to the pope himself.
  On Sunday, the jewel-box-like sanctuary of Our Lady of Peace was opened for a Divine Liturgy service, a weekly sacrament of communion, but not a Roman Catholic one. At Cardinal Dolan’s direction, the archdiocese has granted a one-year lease to the local parish of the Coptic Orthodox Church, an ancient Christian denomination based in Egypt. The lease is the first stage of a plan to transform the church into the Coptic Church’s New York cathedral, an idea that both Cardinal Dolan and Coptic leaders say Pope Francis has blessed.
