Child Discipline, new article to address Jackson's Royal Commission testimony
by jwfacts ini have published a new article at watchtower corporal punishment, as a response to the testimony that geoff jackson gave at the royal commission.
it includes the relevant part of the transcript, along with a string of watchtower quotes to show that what he presented was not accurate, and that watchtower translates rod as a literal implement to hit children with.

Dunedain - I spoke directly myself to the CO. I just asked him if he had, "also heard that all the construction had halted worldwide except warwick?" and he said, "yes, that's what I heard too, and also that there are some branches closing too with some bethelites going into pioneering but that's because of the preaching work. So yes I've heard about but don't spread it. Wait for it to come out on JW.ORG on the news section first."
If I recall, that's pretty much the extent of the conversation. We didn't say anything about kingdom halls. I did get the impression from him by the way he was speaking to me that in the near future the borg would be making some type of spin announcement about the whole construction stoppage. It was almost like he was saying, "just wait, you'll hear about it soon enough."

Speculation on future donation arrangements
by respectful_observer inin the aftermath of this year's annual meeting and the recent tremors of cash shortfalls within the organization, i began thinking "what could they do next to bring in more $$$.".
many here have speculated that we're seeing incremental moves toward "tithing" (of course they would never call it that).
a recent thread (can't find it right now) highlighted that they recently raised the "suggested per publisher donation" at the circuit assembly significantly (tripled it?)..

Why not just put a "Donate" button on JW.ORG? Anybody can donate at anytime. -

I said wow, ok, and that's awesome to see Jah's direction in the matter, and how lovely his talk was, but honestly I couldn't believe he actually admitted it. ;)
Then on the way home I told my wife who is still totally in and she bought the whole thing, hook line and sinker. She said, "well, yes, the main focus should be the preaching work." :(
