hello simon.
i'm using chrome on android and cannot access the search function.
i tap on search and am returned to the home page.. for why, simon?
Yeah I meant to mention it too - the mobile menu closes when you click on the search, presumably because it's set to do so onblur.
I just hack it by going to the search page address and adding my search query to the URL:
http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/search/?q=
(Also an empty search gives a "Server Error" message rather than a slightly nicer "You didn't search for anything!" message.)

atlantis provided a uk branch letter regarding a 3 levy per publisher to pay for the britain branch c.o.s 85 new cars.

with approximately 120,000 publishers in the uk, that will rake in 360,000. .
jehovah church faces flood of sex abuse cases.
"a woman who was abused from the age of four by a senior officer of the jehovahs witnesses has lodged a 500,000 claim for compensation in a test case that could open the door to hundreds more suits involving members of the religious organisation in the uk.".

It's not in the Scottish version of the Sunday Times, sadly, so readers north of the border won't see it except online
And now I feel dirty because I just gave £2.50 to the Murdochs.
so here we are, almost a year into the "new" congregation donation arrangement.
and its beginning, as was predicted, to fail miserably, and to have direct negative consequences on the poor sheep.. let me give you a little experience, directly from our congregation of about 80 publishers.
back in may, after reading the letter about the "new" arrangement, the elder body decided to "donate" the extra funds on hand to wt, as directed.
DesirousOfChange - I know of a pioneer brother who had a very fancy custom-bound leather NWT with a large section from that old Watchtower including that quote pasted into the inside cover of his fancy leather binding. Ironic that the WTBTS has got rid of that translaton and also pretty much breaking that promise.

Also hopefully monitors with AMD's FreeSync will be coming out later in the year too and they might have HDMI as well as DisplayPort - maybe best to wait on this one, but nice to see monitor manufacturers at least trying to keep pace - they've been very stagnant lately.
I'd much rather have an AMD/ATI card anyway - I still haven't forgiven nVidia for the "bumpgate" fiasco and lying.
letter read out at meeting last night - for scotland!.
the scottish rbc urgently requires qualified plumbers who are registered central heating installers.. also, they are looking for volunteers to train as plumbers for the scottish rbc.

watchtower body of elder letters:.. this pdf file is the largest boe file ever compiled.
it has been downloaded at least 30 times with no virus issues.
the file is from 1905 to 2015 updated, and includes all the elder manuals from 1961 to 2010 at the bottom of the bookmarks.
Lots of little gems in there - I've never seen those little public talk outline change request slips before - i.e. page 11209
I knew they existed as the P.O. here used to make the corrections by hand to the congregation's box of outlines. Nowadays it's just a PDF file that gets distributed and updated similar to this one.
Thanks!

I think I probably know who your grandfather is, notsurewheretogo.
Things were always a bit tense with the RBC in Scotland and London Bethel. I don't think they realize we build things differently up here to cope with the much harsher climate and weather - i.e. every roof tile needs at least a clip and/or a nail. Bethel also said they should do roofs without sarking boards, which means it's less safe to work on and doesn't cope with the weather as well.
so.. some asshole visits another asshole but a mob erupts and wants to rape the visiting asshole.. the host asshole offers his daughter and the visiting asshole's concubine to appease the mob.. sure enough.. the concubine ends up gang raped and murdered.
in the morning the visiting asshole loads her up on his donkey, takes her home, dismembers her body into 12 pieces and sends it to all the tribes to incite war.. so an army of 22,000 is formed, some prick goes and asks jehovah if they should go and destroy the gang raping mob.. and jehovah says 'yes.. do it.
they go to fight and loose all 22,000 die.
I think you mean Judges 19 - 21.
irondork did a good explanation of why a comparison with this account helps explain what the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah was - rape is mainly about control, not sex:
