  Churches in Australia could lose millions in tax breaks under radical national faith register plan

  by sherrie11 in

  churches and religious organisations would lose millions of dollars in tax breaks, concessions and hand outs under a radical plan to force priests, rabbis and imams to sign up to a national faith register.

  under the bold proposal clergy would for the first time be forced to undergo government-specified training and security checks and would be monitored by a national body, or risk losing government funding..

  former premier ted baillieu has backed the plan that has been put to federal and state leaders including the prime ministers office, and premier daniel andrews..

  The GB would never join in, and they would spin this and say that now Australia is a taxed country.

  Telling special pioneers that they are regular pioneers now is the lowest of the low I have ever seen. What possible reason could they give them?

  i'm not jw, so i see this all standing up and very clear from an outsider perspective (i am still seeking my path).

  i joined the blog a few weeks ago.

  i dated a divorced jw (jw from birth) for a couple of years recently.

  Printing Company to Video Production Company - Insider Information

  by thedepressedsoul in

  many people think that wt is a publishing company and at one time that was true.

  however, they are slowly fading that out into more digital publications.

  we all have come to the conclusion that printed material from the wt is going way of the dinosaur.

  Can you imagine dedicating your entire life to God and then going to Bethel and then them telling you that 'No now you must watch morning worship from your room', that must be the worst. I would pack my bag and leave!

  The Monsters the WTBTS Created

  growing up, the jws at the kingdom hall taught me that perfection is the only standard via which things can ever be measured.

  "well yeah modern medicine is great - but it's pointless because they can't save everyone.

  and they can't stop people from dying.

  You said it right. You hit the nail right on the head. That's exactly how JW's think and you can't get them to think any other way. They are brainwashed stupid. I've dealt with this myself, and still dealing with it.

  attached to a letter of disgust.

  .

  what would happen if the corporation got inundated with such letters or phone calls, would it add to the uneasiness of things at bethel?.

  Would the GB ever do this? Pope Francis did. What do you think?

  by LevelThePlayingField in

  2. child-abuse

  pope: bishops who covered up for abuse guilty of wrongdoing.

  [at mid point in article].

  on sunday, francis directed his attention to the victims of abuse themselves, meeting with five survivors, including people who had been molested not only by priests but also abused by family members or educators.
