In my country Bethalites have to be "employed" - the Labour Law does not recognise a Volunteer as being apart from the definition of employee and therefore being laid-off should constitute a Retrenchment and therefore subject to all the legalities protecting that situation - which should also involve a formal exiting process - which could be challenged in court. etc etc Most reasonable countries have similar labour laws.

me: i've been told that construction of the new branch has been stopped - is this true?.
debbie: no, it has not ceased, it's carrying on as normal - can i ask where you're calling from?.

The nation is in shock and mourning -
Springbok flavoured Sushi was had last night!
Japan played incredible rugby with guts, tenacity and flair. Tackling was outstanding and the decision to forego the penalty kick in order to take that final lineout was something the Boks [and many other teams] would never have done !

Washington Post in US: Jehovah's Witnesses Face Child Sex Abuse Investigation in Australia
by cultBgone init's finally hit mainstream media in the us!
let's hope some savvy investigative journalists see a pulitzer for opening up this story to cover the us and worldwide cases.. jehovahs-witnesses-face-child-sex-abuse-investigation-in-australia/2015/08/14/.
everyone who is able should hurry up and post comments on their website as the pro-jw forces have rallied and are trying to squash this as libel.

We can all do a bit to ensure that the report does "get out there" - Many did the same with the ARC hearings. I mailed it directly to the branch comm. members of the local Bethel - until after the 3rd or 4th mailing the replies started coming back from the main IT centre etc as 'unable to deliver' etc - But at least one or two were seen..
You have friends, contacts, colleagues and also your local district "free to the door" newspaper. FB / Twitter etc etc

Looks very Primate to me ..................................but hell what do I know ....I only live in Africa ! Had an African edumacation !
Actually the way the Paleontologists ...Peleon ...Pealeontol......whatever ....wax on about how they were found in a section of the cave which "proves" that they were conducting burial rituals at that time and so on and so on is akin to JW. Org making up shite about doctrine !
Sorry - I am not convinced one bit/
