Welcome to all the newbies and lurkers that have joined this forum lately.
by smiddy3 ini`m sure you have all noticed the ever increasing number of newbies and lurkers who have visited this site over the past months and i am sure we could all collectively welcome them to this site and support them on learning the ttatt .
and helping them to navigate how they can look up older publications and quotes of the wtb&ts that they would rather remain hidden.. we all know jehovah`s witnesses /governing body never apologizes for mistakes they make they just don`t mention them anymore and explain it away as new light from god.. actually a big cop out.. welcome to all you who are new to this site .. every day their seems to be someone new posting which is great .. and if this is any indication of what is happening in all other ex jw sites the wtb&ts are in deep trouble .

Tax question: How are illegals paid at farms, lawn care, construction, etc?
by Bad_Wolf ini was wondering how exactly is it that illegals can get paid and be under the radar?
a business takes in cash.
at farms, construction, etc, most probably comes in from checks and credit.

A Question About Elders Knowing About Child Molesters
by new boy insupposedly the society sent a letter out on march 14, 1997 to all elders contained an instruction that inadvertently admitted they had a big problem: βthe body of elders should give the society a report on anyone serving or who formerly served in a society-appointed position in your congregation who is known to have been guilty of child molestation in the past.β .
can anyone here confirm/or not that this was a real letter that was sent to elders?.

Interfere between God and congregation.
by asp59 indon't remember when but gb wrote that if something went wrong or didn't work out in congregation they would vouche for the congregation to godπππ they put it in such way.
i thought that 140,000 and specially the gb are the one that were put in charge and are responsible if things didn't work out?
goes to show they never take responsibility for anything.
