jehovah's witnesses to hand over top-secret manualon friday finland's jehovah's witnesses will give their religious rule book to the minister of justice and the minister of the interior so that it can be inspected to ensure that it's in line with finnish rule of law.
jehovah's witnesses will hand over their secret rule book to the minister of justice, anna-maja henriksson, and the minister of the interior, paivi rasanen.
image: heikki saukkomaa / lehtikuva until now, only senior members of the jehovahs witnesses committee have had access to the congregation's secret book of rules.. the disciplinary activities of the jehovah's witnesses committee have been criticised for violating human rights.. according to anna-maja henriksson, finland's minister of justice, the purpose of the handover is to examine the book and determine whether its rules and regulations run counter to finnish law.. henriksson and interior minister paivi rasanen met on thursday with the leadership of the jehovah's witnesses in helsinki.
well done. and as WE says above please Finland make sure she gets an untampered one. and "No longer interferes with matters of its members (members?)that go against church guidelines(which are)"
No longer .. really as of what last month when the Minister stated an intent to look into this religion?
No llonger shunning?
No directions on marriages on intimacy.?
fasten your seat belts!
funny how well that goes together.. interesting that several months ago people were fearful to bring their pc tablets to the hall for fear that others would judge them for their "showy display" now to see most everyone, even the tikes, with a tablet.
i can hear those little tykes now with the veruca salt voice of the old willy wonka movie, "daddy, i want a new ipad.
get me an ipad daddy!
we are the borg you will be assimilated..
so, we all remember the old "special needs room request" form from the old district convention arrangement.
those with accomodations in bigger cities where the district assemblies were being held would provide a room within their homes to house brothers with nominal resources.
at times, however, where these accomodations were unavailable, the congregation itself would put up the funds to assist brothers with the cost of the room (on the list).
brilliant provided the wts itself pays the bill.

a sudanese court has sentenced a woman to hang for apostasy after she left islam and married a christian man.. "we gave you three days to recant but you insist on not returning to islam.
i sentence you to be hanged to death," the judge told the woman, afp reports.. western embassies and rights groups had urged sudan to respect the right of the pregnant woman to choose her religion.. local media report the sentence would not be carried out for two years after she has given birth.. meriam yehya ibrahim ishagsudan has a majority muslim population, which is governed by islamic law.. the judge also sentenced her to 100 lashes after convicting her of adultery - because her marriage to a christian man was not valid under islamic law.. earlier in the hearing, an islamic cleric spoke with her in a caged dock for about 30 minutes, afp reports.. then she calmly told the judge: "i am a christian and i never committed apostasy.".
and this country gives aid to those bastards!
in sorting insurances out updating , i just mentioned to my wife who is 'in' that in the event you have to claim "dont give any of it to anyone else".. there was a pause i didnt like.. comments by others on this site indicated the wts has been beating the drum for $$ i fear what she may have agreed to.. to those who have insurance it is not.. not to go, not a cent to the wts as they have belittled anyone taking out insurance or retirement benefits.. my insurance has been created to keep her and our handicapped offspring not the gb on a building spree..
wow. thanks all but dont miss the point that the wts and its eternal 'trust in jehovah' and dont prepare for lifes ultimate eventualitys is lightening quick to put the hand out for peoples estates or the latest thing that as i say i fear she has 'signed up' to.
Take a look at
the watchtowerfiles
todays posting speaks of the"Watchtower money machine"

QED
russel is burried under the pyramid.
according to none other than frederick franz himself, in his own words!.
i read some wt trolls on here trying to say that he is under the marker a few feet away.. that is not true.
My hearts thanks to the 'old goat' and the 'village girl'.
watchtower has said that jesus is not the mediator of anyone but for the anointed.
then they tell you that they are jehovah's organization and that the flock should obey them.. basically, the watchtower corp. and it's governing body is taking the place of jesus as the mediator for people.
christianity, even by it's name, focuses on making jesus known.
Idolise Paul ? of course he had a low (typical of his day) opinion of women.
my mother in law (in her 80's) just told me that she had the elders around to pick up her 'donation' pledge.
it was 'suggested that $20 a month was the average amount pledged but she could pledge more or less.
so, rather than an anonymous amount they have a signed document stating the amount of her pledge.
When she gets hit with an unexpected bill and comes crying for money suggest she direct her concern to the elders.
