She won't be the only elderly person signing over her money, there are plenty of elderly ones out there with money to leave when they die, hence the push to convert them..

Mickey mouse 2 days ago"I have contacted them, I hope others do too. Watching the Australian Royal Commission has made me think it's not beyond the realms of possibility for the governments to enforce change."
Well done Mickey. Every who has witnessed the effect of the ARC, will need to find it within themselves to come forward (confidentially and anonymously) and help make it happen here in the UK.
"The inquiry covers both England and Wales and wants to hear from anyone who was sexually abused as a child in an institutional setting such as a care home, a school or a religious, voluntary or state organisation.
They also want to hear from anyone who reported their sexual abuse as a child to a person in authority like a police officer or teacher where the report was either ignored or not properly acted on.
Duncan Forbes, who chairs the South East Wales Safeguarding Children’s Board, said: “Those who have experienced abuse may be concerned about confidentiality. They aren’t expected to give information in public and nothing will be published about them which could identify them without their permission. You can tell the Inquiry as little or as much as you want about your experiences.”
Anyone wanting to provide information can contact the Inquiry using their helpline number: 0800 917 1000,
by e-mailing share@csa-inquiry.independent.gov.uk
or by writing to them at Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse, PO Box 72289, London, SW1P 9LF

Can anyone imagine the Governing Body saying this?!...
" The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, has met survivors of historic sex abuse in the Church, and outlined his promises to the delegation.
He wants a Government enquiry set up and running in the next six months and the Church of England to be examined first by the group."
"A spokesperson for the Church of England has confirmed to The Independent this morning that a private meeting did occur this week.
The Archbishop “has asked that the Church of England is reviewed first by the Government's National Inquiry once it begins its investigations,” said the spokesperson. “If this does not happen within six months then he will instigate an independent past cases review.”

i started questioning stuff a couple of months ago.. however there is still a scenario that makes me wonder.
considering the israelites as god's chosen people and the kings as anointed, the bible shows many bad decisions the people made, including the rulers that were anointed.

The following article about the Catholic Church is equally applicable to the Watchtower Society.
""Tell me," he asked, "how can I have confidence in anything? How can I believe in the Bible, in God, or have faith? Just ten years ago we Catholics had the absolute truth, we put all our faith in this. Now the pope and our priests are telling us this is not the way to believe any more, but we are to believe 'new things.' How do I know the 'new things' will be the truth in five years?"" Awake! 1970 Apr 22 p.8

Pedophiles in Good Standing
by UnDisfellowshipped inhere is a very good quote you can use against the society from a watchtower publication that everyone knows: .
you can live forever in paradise on earth book, pages 187-188: .
"if church members who gamble, get drunk or do other wrongs are permitted to remain in good standing within their church, what does this show?

The comments about a molester supposedly having to only attend study groups at the Kingdom Hall, instead of someone's home, made me think..
Could this have had something to do with everybody being moved to a Congregation Book study, instead of meeting in homes?
Limitation of possible future lawsuits?...
"ozzie post 11 years ago
These people are assigned by the body of elders to attend Book Study centers in private homes, oftentimes homes where there are children, and the parents are totally unaware of the reasons for Brother? or Sister? So-and-So's being disciplined in the first place.
In Australia, BOE have been instructed to assign such persons to Book Study groups that meet at Kingdom Halls only."

"The Truth Project
The Truth Project will allow victims and survivors of child sexual abuse to share their experiences with the Inquiry.
*Those who wish to take part will attend a private session* at one of our offices in England or Wales to share their experience with a member of the Inquiry. *Their accounts will not be tested, challenged or contradicted. The information supplied will be anonymised*, and will be considered by the Chair and Panel members when reaching their conclusions and making recommendations for the future.
As part of the Truth Project, *victims and survivors will be given an opportunity to write a message to be published* together with the Inquiry’s annual reports.
More information about the Truth Project is in our guide for those who wish to share their experience. The first Truth Project hearings are expected to start in October 2015.
Visit our share your experience page to find out more, or to take part. "

Thank you for posting this..
A Governing Body member is in contempt ofcourt?
So much for obeying the superior authorities..
"What is a subpoena?
A subpoena means an order requiring a person (called the addressee) to attend at court to give evidence, or to produce a document or thing to the Court, or do both things.
Disobeying a subpoena -
If the court wants a particular person to attend court to give evidence, but knows that the person does not want to do so, it can subpoena that person.
A subpoena is an order to attend court and give evidence, and it must be obeyed. If the person fails to attend court as ordered, even though the court has met any necessary expenses, the person will be in contempt of court.
Penalties
Anyone committing contempt may be fined or jailed for a fixed period of time. In some cases, that person may be jailed for as long as the judge wishes, generally until they have "purged their contempt". This usually means, in practice, until they have complied with the court order or apologised sincerely to the court and have agreed in future to abide by the court's orders. "
www.thenewsmanual.net/Resources/medialaw_in_australia_03.html
"Rules 24.17 and 24.18 of the Federal Court Rules 2011 explain how the addressee shall comply with a subpoena.
Failure to comply with a subpoena without lawful excuse is a contempt of court and the addressee may be dealt with accordingly. The Court may order the issuing party to pay the amount of any reasonable loss or expense of a person complying with a subpoena. The Court will usually fix the amount to be paid, which is in addition to any conduct money."
