What the hell is "inapropiate touching"? Did he fondle their tits or bums or give them a hug? And the old girl liked a tipple? If she were a drunkard she would have been d'fd.

Sounds like local politics to me. Maybe an elders wife didn't like them.

Teaching our brains to think differently

by Lady Lee in

jw
friends

let me start by saying this is simply a theory.

a theory is just an idea that hasn't been proven right or wrong.

until tests have been done to get proof it is just an idea.. what we know:jws are systematically taught to think within the narrow constructs of wts teachings.

Many years ago my 8 or 9 year old son asked me for my opinion of a drawing he had done. I told him to hold it up to a mirror. I'ts an old trick but it works. You immediately see all the flaws. Twenty years later he told me that he used the same thinking in solving problems at work. I was flattered.

I reckon that Lady Lee is talking along the same lines.

I just got hold of the WTS Aust branch 2005 Financial Report

by jwfacts in

as mentioned in another thread, the watchtower bible & tract society of australia is refusing to give me my personal records, though i believe they are supposed to under the aust privacy act.

they claim to not be under the legislation, which exempts businesses with less than 3 million turnover.

anyway, i purchased their financial report that is lodged with asic to find out what the turnover is ($16million).

Thanks jgnat...How depressing. On that basis JWD could be registered as a charity.

In summary again, the WTS in Australia had over $16 million in revenue last year and devoted only $1,391 of it to humanitarian relief work. I'd bet that not one cent of that went to any organization or charity or person outside of the WTS............And they still get to be registered as a charity.

Other point..As shown by others earlier, the $30 million assets do not include all the KH real estate which has been hidden away elsewhere, impossible to find.

Yet they maintain that they are still a "small business" (see another post elsewhere) and don't even have to pay GST.

So much for rendering unto Caesar. They've got some good JW trained lawyers working there.

With all that money guess how much went to charity work?
"Shepherding (hospital information, legal support, humanitarian relief work)" $1,391
It appears the Aust branch received charity status in 2001, so now is tax exempt as a charitable entity.

There must be a minimum percentage they must give to charity in order to qualify as a "charitable organization". If you can't afford to sue them, at least report the anomaly to the treasury department or whatever office oversees this in Australia.

one spouse in each couple was an elder's kid !!!

Internet Fraud (Wilfred)

did anyone else receive this pm?.

I love receiving Nigerian email scams. They are so much fun to reply to.

Rather than send a Nigerian lady with a lazy $25 million my bank account details I instead proposed marriage to her. But when she moved to Australia she would have to wear a shirt if we dined out. Can't have her tits dangling in the soup. It actually got a bit worse but I'll spare you.

I guess that she's still thinking about it.
