I cannot, for the life of me understand how they get charitable status.
This could be part of their downfall now. Present economic climate, if there was enough publicity about this, they might get hanged.
i went to a site which lists over 100 different registered jw charities in the us.
take a look.

haven't looked yet. Saving it for tomorrow, hope it's good. lol.
i want to start by saying i will not participate in discussion here about my resignation as a moderator at jwn.. simon please consider this as my resignation from that position.. i have been posting on this board for almost 12 years.
i know some of you a lot, others a little and some not very well at all.
i have remained here for those of you who have needed support as you make the transition out of the wts, who needed someone to listen to your experiences of abuse at the hands of jehovah's witnesses, and to both laugh and cry with you as you progress out of the watchtower society.. we know that we have all experienced the cruelty of abuse of one kind or another.
after leaving christianity it's common especially among the young to experiment with witchcraft.
some get drawn into it by getting involved with earth movements and back to nature groups.. .
witchcraft is an evil thing.
what's wibble mean ?
The ancestrol tribal nature is making a comeback, people want to get back to their heathen roots. lol. Go for it.
I'd say it's a great feeling to be in a period of absolute freedom, free from inhibitions, rules and regs, free to express.
No i know they ar not affiliated, and everyone else here who knows the truth about what went on (hindsight being such a wonderful thing) knows they are not.
But for the strangers out there in the land of 'web/net' who are pretty much ignorant. The 'mallible' ones. They come across the other site, read the spiel, see the other groups 'listed'. The credible groups, by proxy, give credence to their publicity spiel.
Subterfuge. Am I explaining it right. Do you get me ?
NOT saying it is so, before anyone jumps on me, purely hypothetical chit chat.
the power of eight.
in the first paragraph on page 26 of the 15 june 2013 watchtower we read:.
"on wednesday morning, september 5, 2012, it was announced to the united states and canada bethel families that a new member had been added to the governing body of jehovahs witnesses.
lol
It could just be diversionary tactics. Politicians are very good at it, takes ones eye of the ball, so to speak
so if i send money to al gore to pay for carbon credits, will it warm up the 30 degree temperature outside today?
pearly on years ago when i realized a few people and organizations were using junk science as away to build a cottage industry of money making and taxing, i knew it was a hoax.
then when the data came back to show the earth has been cooling instead of warming, the con artists changed the label from global warming to climate change.. believe what you want to, i don't care, but blind allegiance to the gw idea is so similar to jw belief in my mind, blind!.
besty thanks for link. interesting.
Anyone got more info on what the geographical climate .... ( grr memory block). You get what I'm trying to say ?
The middle east and egypt, were so different in ancient days. Rivers, trees etc. But cos they cut down all the trees to build the massive civilisation and pyramids etc... they destroyed the whole balance. Hence why it is now like it is ?
(sorry it's a bit muddled, can't get the words)

only apostates can warn you!
today i added a new article to my blog disclosing watchtowers new doctrinal position that puts apostates in a unique position to warn jehovahs witnesses of watchtowers 8-member governing body.
i doubt watchtower realized the can of worms it was opening with its new slave teaching, and how it elevates apostates from debasement to unique protectors of the victimized.
AA , i dunno. It's so easy to 'be paranoid' though. We learn from eXperience. i'm not a 'techi'. So forgive me if my understandign is wrong here.
Is it that AAWA are riding off the back of JWN, pretending to be 'affiliated' for credability. ?
