Pete Zahut: I would like them to be required by law to make a public announcement that acknowledges to their members and to the general public that there is a problem within the organization and offer an apology to those who have been affected by it and an outline of what they plan to do about it.
That would be the most agonizing punishment imaginable for the GB. They would rather bankrupt the entire corporation than be diminished into making a public apology for their ineptitude.

Go get 'em, UMBER! We look forward to your report when you return.

there was a letter sent to elders in australia on 18th november 2015 asking for details of publishers that are solicitors, barristers and accountants.

what would be their motive for these details?

the rest of the letter outlines 8 specific pieces of information to compile and send to bethel's legal department, and reiterates to collect the information only be "as you understand, without consulting the publisher.

Would love to see a scan of the letter.

they seem to have laid off their proofreaders.

in the new 03/2016 study watchtower there is a picture description:a mature young person does not act like a friend of god at the kingdom hall but a friend of the world at school.

the german issue saysein reifer junger mensch verhalt sich im konigreichssaal nicht wie ein freund jehovas und in der schule wie ein freund der welt.

How could Jehovah's Holy spirit miss this? Sam Herd JUST TOLD US of his confidence that Jehovah is richly blessing the world wide work.
I am befuddled.

Yesterday I encountered a car group of Witnesses in my community as I was coming home from the gym. Actually, their van was blocking me from entering my driveway. I saw that they had just left my doorstep and were climbing back into the van. I waited patiently, even smiled politely. As the driver pulled forward he gave me an obvious apologetic look for blocking the drive. I winked, nodded... no harm done.
I didn't recognize any of them. I know they didn't recognize me. Why didn't they come back to my door after they knew I was home. I saw them pull into my neighbor's drives as they worked on down the street, but they never came back to the house where they KNEW someone was home now.
Apathy needs no cart.

So is he saying that when my wife is right she's a homosexual?

Are you thinking that's kinda hot? Are you thinking she should invite a friend over and be right together while you watch?

The first time, it is probably going to look either wimpy or sloppy or both.

Yeah, it turned out a bit wimpy. It looked a lot better in my mind.

Turns out one of the OTHER talents I lack is taking night time pictures.
Oh well. I had fun anyway.

Nothing special. In fact, I have learned I'm not very good at it. I have many talents. Christmas decoration is not one of them. (I struggle with posting interesting crap on discussion forums too.)
But... DAAAYUMM! I put up lights this year. Had a blast!
When the sun goes down a little more I'll take a picture and show off my low-rent display.

Coordinator of Elders Problems in One Southern England Circuit!

information just passed to me.

let's hope this becomes even more widespread.

i wonder if the britain branch suspects a conspiracy?
Zoos

They said that the hall was not really safe to use due to the risk of a rock fall and other maintenance issues...

Let me guess, they sold it to someone else without any concern for their safety. This kinda reminds me of the ARC accusation that elders send known pedophiles into the community without any regard for other children in the neighborhood.

I just found out that my youngest brother committed suicide
by SnakesInTheTower in
1. jw
2. friends
my middle brother called me a couple of hours ago.

our youngest brother, josh, who was 38, was found by his friends in his apartment.

he hung himself.
Zoos

Shouldn't I be crying? Not sure how to process.

What was your relationship with your brother? Were you close? Even semi close?
When I got the news of my brother's suicide it had no real affect on me at all as we had no relationship to speak of. I acknowledged the unfortunate circumstances and went about my day having suffered no loss.
