  What is the best way to deal with the IRS?

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i will only give limited details - but let me rant a little.. wifey and i have been raising our grandkids for almost four years now.

  except for a short period of time in 2005, during which time one of them lived for 8 or 10 months with her father, they have all three lived here.

  we have paid all the bills, child care, tuitions, insurance, food, clothing, shelter.... on and on.

  I worked for the feds in an Ombudsman's office where we handled/processed complaints from consumers. (not IRS related)

  The complaints we received that were sent through Congressional offices got special treatment.

  In addition to speaking with the Taxpayer Advocate Office, I would suggest that you file complaints with your Congressional representatives. They have had hearings in the past about what IRS is doing to citizens. I think that is how the Advocate office got started. Congress needs to know what IRS agents are doing to us.

  Help finding a scripture

  by jookbeard in

  2. bible

  been trying to find a scripture i think o/t that is used to counter react the wts twisting of their adherence to abstaining from blood and all things strangled etc, the scripture speaks about if you obey a law of god that could threaten your life that you should rather save your own life rather than adhere to the law, anyone know where i'm coming from?

  see "appeal highlights church confidentiality.

  " do you think the accused is really interested in the clergy/penitent privilege?.

  Sinay denied telling anyone about Simental's statements to him when he testified last week in court.

  The elder is now denying he told the girls parents about the confession!!! Guess this also means he did not report it to Headquarters.

  Theocratic warfare at work?

  "Special" Talk Outline for this Sunday?

  by Mrs. Witness in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  last night hubby told me that his brother (an elder) told him how "provocative" the outline for this sunday's special talk is.

  apparently it's something like "who is qualified to rule mankind" and goes on about how government is not qualified.

  he then asked me if i'd like to attend (ha ha).

  Judge rules JW elders must testify in molestation case

  by pseattle2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  this just went up on freeminds regarding the jw elders in southern california, who have so far been stonewalling about their private conversations with accused jw child molester gilbert simental... the judge in the case has issued an order for them to testify:.

  (the judge) said... "it was more like a third-party investigation into immoral conduct."...

  the judge said, the elders' duty was to determine guilt and to protect the congregation, not to keep the communications under wraps.

  Here's another news article which sounds like all 3 children were in the congregation.

  http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/riverside/20080327-0308-jehovah.html

  "Gilbert Simental, 49, is accused of lewd behavior with a 9-year-old and two 10-year-old daughters of congregation members during sleepovers or visits by the girls to his Murrieta home between 2005 and 2006."

  Welcome to JWD pattio.

  I was looking at some of the info on www.jwfacts.com today. It's an excellent site.

  You might find some things you can use there.

  Bookstudy and the United Nations

  by bud2114 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  wondering if anyone else is taking advantage of the subject matter being covered these past few weeks at the bookstudy (revelation climax book) regarding religion's association with the blasphemous scarlet colored wild beast (un organization)?

  this week especially does the book get into religion's "heinous" involvement with the un with the wt society's writers even sarcasticly poking fun at other religions who have supported the un.

  i, for one, have been taking full advantage of this grand opportunity to "witness" to as many j-dubs as possible about the wt society's secret 10 year involvement with the un and subsequent coverup.

  Do you know of any links showing OSCE & WTBTS affiliation? It would be helpful if we had something to prove it to JWs.
