I'm on your team smiddy. I cannot wait to see action although, covid is keeping the Govt a little distracted at the moment. I keep checking all Govt news outlets.

I wonder if that will need to be presented to parliament in some form first.

Hi Folks.

I put this in Practices as I thought that appropriate. Perhaps it should be in scandalous behavior.

However, here goes. Not a big deal but an example of the cult-ish intimidation and behavior.

At the end of this mornings short wt review prior to the convention brainwash by Jackson, ( Melbourne Australia) the elder stated "brothers we have a resolution to present to the congregation". He continued, " The ......... congregation of jws has resolved to send $750 to the worldwide work every month". Here's the 'clanger' ...... he went on, "we know it's difficult to pass resolutions with zoom so, if you don't agree please raise your hand and the elders will help you understand the reasoning behind this." A pause,,,,, "as no one has raised their hand we thank you all for your co-operation in this matter."

I received a couple of phone calls from pimo and pimi folk I know saying 'WTF,,, in jw terms'. And asking,,"whom in their right mind would dare to raise their hand?" Ha Ha, Interesting times in my view.

Cong of around 130 active publishers. about six bucks Au per head,,,,,,, That's not a tithe !?

Tonight's Meeting

by Studyover in

during tonight's meeting the brother seemed to read out something along the lines of "you may be helping a poor sister who you think may be struggling, but in turn that sister may be getting financial assistance from the government.

it is always best to stick to jehovah's arrangement in these matters so that help can get to those who most need it, including the worldwide work".

i think it may have been an article about social media platforms initially and how they should be avoided and then this was mentioned.

jonahstourguide

Yes. As Drearyweather stated, the use of apps for soliciting funds etc was in the outline. Also, the responsibility of starting something and being held to account was in the outline. (A PIMO friend related to an elder confirmed that to me.)

However, as we know, individual elders always throw in their interpretation of a subject.

The one I heard waffled on about what a wonderful provision the service group apps are and how wonderful it now is to be able to donate directly to jwog seeing the publishers can't physically do it at the kh. And please see your group overseer to help you do that.

There was also some gibberish about inadvertently sharing the wonderful spiritual food with apostates.

P.S. I agree with other comments regarding the popes' efforts to stem the information flow of their history of failures..... Even though the failures are becoming as obvious as dogs balls.

I will listen for it this Thursday here in Oz. Yes it's primarily about the use of social platforms.

Sounds like an extension of the letter to elders directing minions to exhaust every other option for help elsewhere (like government,relatives,other publishers ) before telling the co that someone needs help from the organisation.

P.S and they've got the gall to claim they are a charitable entity,,,,,,,,bullshit artists.
