Master's Thesis on Witness CSA
by careful ini apologize if this has already been shared.
a chap named harvinder singh finished his ma thesis last year at the university of birmingham on csa among jws.
i think this may be the first of such academic works to directly deal with the matter.

Anybody else see KH sales lagging?
by careful inthere is a large kh in my area, a nice neighbourhood, that has been up for sale for well over a year now.
the old cong that used to go there travels miles to go to their reassigned hall.
i swing by the old one now and then to see if anyone has bought it.

Patterson renovation—new donation boxes
by careful inover at reddit a post has appeared stating that a letter was read at this week's clam meeting announcing renovation work at the patterson compound, er, site:.
https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/cmz8t5/announcement_patterson_is_being_renovated_extra/.
does it strike anyone as odd that at a time of pretty extreme belt-tightening the gb is undertaking another costly building project?

A possible move?
by careful inin the second section (money stuff) of this morning's usa today newspaper (print copy p. 5b) there is one of those legal notices that groups put up in order to announce things and set deadlines.
this one is from the santa fe, new mexico archdiocese, mandated by the us bankruptcy court.
it's notification that people who were sexually abused by rc priests have until june 17 to file their claims.. this got me wondering.

Like the Org, a Proestant Store Going Electronic
by careful inlifeway books is closing its brick-and-mortar stores and going exclusively electronic.
it's also cutting back on its publishing in print.. https://www.christianitytoday.com/news/2019/march/lifeway-to-close-all-170-christian-stores.html.
this somewhat supports what sbf has been saying as to modern wts history—at least it's a common pattern.

Will the org ever be forced to do this?
by careful inhttps://www.toledoblade.com/news/world/2019/02/19/nuns-priests-vatican-city-apologize-inaction-cover-ups/stories/20190220019.
the catholic leaders acknowledge "that their family-like communities blinded them to sexual abuse and led to misplaced loyalties, denial, and cover-ups.".
will the gb ever have to do the same, or will they just keep demanding silence from their members who know the facts and keep buying the silence from victims through confidentiality agreements when settling lawsuits?.
