Plymouth Brethren have their application for Charitable Status accepted - finally.
by besty inhttp://www.thirdsector.co.uk/go/news/article/1226627/charity-commission-will-accept-plymouth-brethren-application-charitable-status/.
the regulator says the preston down trust, whose initial application was rejected in 2012, has agreed to change its governing documentsthe charity commission has said it will accept an application for charitable status from the preston down trust, a devon-based plymouth brethren congregation.. the regulator announced today that it would accept an application from the trust, which adheres to a doctrine of separation that limits members contact with the outside world, after it agreed to change its governing documents.. the commission said the trust had agreed to amend its trust documents by entering into a deed of variation, which sets out, in a manner that is binding on trustees, the churchs core religious doctrines and practices.. it signals an end to a dispute dating back to february 2009, when the trust first made an application for charitable status.. a draft deed of variation, published by the commission, includes directions on issues such as how disciplinary matters should be dealt with among members.
it also says meeting halls should display prominent details about how non-members can attend services.. the commissions decision document says that it has heard allegations of harsh disciplinary practices for minor transgressions and people being cut off from the community.. it says there had been claims that threats of legal action had been made against people who spoke out against the brethren and those who leave "are ostracised and consequently treated differently from other members of the public".. in responding to these allegations, the commission said the plymouth brethren christian church had told it some were of an historic nature but it did acknowledge "past mistakes in relation to its disciplinary practices".. the regulator said the trust had "demonstrated a willingness to make amends and to do what it could as a christian organisation to ensure, as far as it was consistent with its religious beliefs, it would act with christian compassion in the future", particularly in respect of its disciplinary practices and in its relations with former members of the brethren.

jw.org slipping down the search engine rankings?
by besty innot sure if anybody else has noticed this but when i search for jehovah's witness i would expect jw.org to be the 1st result.
until now.. http://www.flickr.com/photos/50714155@n07/11824103644/.
seems they are down to 3rd position behind wikipedia and beliefnet..... this is great news if true - seems that their shiny new jw.org might not be quite seo'd enough....
