Latest and greatest from Warwick
by Warwickslave injust received two emails .
recently, it was announced that the warwick whq project will be completed by september 1, 2016. with a little less than 10 months left to go on the project, the construction project committee recently met with representatives from all eleven warwick construction groups throughout the u.s. the purpose of this meeting was to determine what can be done to more effectively continue the wonderful progress being made.
as a result, it has been determined that, for the duration of the project, all warwick construction groups will focus on sending experienced, skilled tradespersons who have regularly worked in their trade(s)in a secular environment.

JW.ORG | BRITAIN - FINANCIAL NEWS - SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE GOVERNING BODY OF JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES
Theme: "Making the Best Use of Donated Funds"
Follow JW NEWS on Facebook: FB.ME/JWNEWS
TO ALL CONGREGATIONS IN BRITAIN
The Governing Body has directed that a number of branch and Assembly Hall construction projects be delayed, reduced in scope, or in some cases, cancelled. In the case of our branch relocation project in Chelmsford, this will still go ahead although it will be reduced in scope. However, Kingdom Halls will continue to be built or renovated in proportion to whatever the brothers are able to contribute for this purpose. In addition, all branches have been asked to reduce the size of their Bethel family. There will also be some reduction in the number of special pioneers.
Please be assured that these adjustments are not being made because of a lack of financial support on your part. Far from it! You have been very generous in your support of the Kingdom work. And in your letters and cards you show a high level of spirituality and great appreciation for all that Jehovah is doing on behalf of his organization.
However, it must be acknowledged that the Kingdom work is expanding at an accelerated pace and the Governing Body can only do so much with the funds at their disposal. Every family head realizes that where the household income is limited, he must carefully budget available funds so that his wife and children will have the necessities of life. At Philippians 1:10 we are told to “make sure of the more important things.” In harmony with this wise advice, the Governing Body desires to give priority to those activities that contribute the most to the spiritual welfare of God’s people and the advancement of the global preaching work.
Consider, for example, the announcement at the Annual Meeting that beginning in January our public magazines will be published bimonthly. There is no question that an abundance of spiritual food has been produced—so much, in fact, that many have found it difficult to keep up. This adjustment will not only allow available funds to be used effectively; it will help us to keep up with our spiritual provisions.
Please make all of these adjustments a matter of prayer. May Jehovah continue to bless each one of you for the love you show for his name.
Your brothers,
Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses in Britain

Back in August during the Australian Child Abuse Royal Commission Geoffrey Jackson was questioned under oath by Angus Stewart QC in relation to the role of the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses and the "faithful and discreet slave".
STEWART QC: “Do you see yourselves as Jehovah’s spokespeople on earth?”
JACKSON: “That, I think, would seem to be quite presumptuous to say that we are the ‘only spokesperson’ that God is using.”
Evidently there seems to be room for more people, or groups, to be spokespersons for Jehovah or guardians of doctrine, and the governing body know it.
There is also a group in Australia, same age (generation), partakers of the emblems, that feel the same way and operate similarly. Earlier this year they sent a representative to Brooklyn to resolve certain doctrinal issues with the governing body.

Lets start a "Go Fund Me" for those special pioneers being kicked to the curb by the GB,.
by notjustyet inlots of great potential to help those sp that are being sent off without any financial help from the wtbts.
i think that it would be a great way to get some exposure on this topic and how the wtbts thats those that dedicated their lives to the wtbts only to be sent packing at a late age.
then someone can take the funds to one sp couple, possibly, and give it to them in honor of the apostates that know what is really happening.

Has anyone noticed how in the October JW Broadcast, Losch encourages good works towards ALL people?
by Tenacious ini can't help but notice how this past year alone has seen the gb start to turn more towards the teachings of the christ instead of peddling their falsities.. study articles have talked in length about the fine works of christ.
assemblies have been dedicated to speaking about christ.
and this month's broadcast is about doing good to others copying the example christ left for us.. what's more shocking is that losch actually says kids should speak, share, and even give food and clothing to non-believers!!

Sounds like someone needs a quote for the UK Charity Commission investigation into the Jehovah' Witnesses and the Watchtower Society of Britain.

Jehovah's Witnesses - Group Action Lawyers Fighting for Justice | Artemis Legal
Artemis Legal | Watchtower Claims
13 October 2015
Artemis Legal has fought many institutions for its failures to protect people, particularly children, from sexual abuse. We are currently gathering evidence and encouraging people to come forward to tell their story with regard to abuse within the Jehovah's Witnesses.
Artemis Legal has launched an inquiry into group or class action against the Jehovah’s Witnesses in Australia. This follows criticism by the Australian Royal Commission into the Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse that revealed flaws in the deeply secretive religion’s attitude to dealing with child abuse and in response to a spike in recent enquiries to the Sydney based law firm.
Artemis Legal has over 15 years of experience of fighting institutions who have failed in their duties to protect people from abuse. These include the Catholic and Anglican Church. Jason Moody, the Principal of Artemis Legal says “the code of secrecy is so strong that survivors of abuse by Jehovah’s Witnesses have are only recently starting to contact us. Those accounts are deeply troubling and show a reckless and systematic tolerance of child abuse by some elders and those in authority within this religion. The Royal Commission identified over 1,700 alleged victims of child sexual abuse within the religion of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Australia. The Royal Commission heard that none of those cases were reported to the police by either church elders or by the Watchtower Society. That is unacceptable in our society”.
Artemis Legal is building a war-chest of documentation and information for civil actions in Australia. Jason Moody said recently “The Royal Commission helped give survivors a voice and now we are helping them take on the fight. We currently have over 15,000 pages of documents in our growing war-chest from this and other jurisdictions. In addition we have started assembling a team of experts within their various fields. We are urging survivors not to delay in coming forward and seeking advice”.
Artemis Legal invites anyone who is a survivor of Jehovah’s Witnesses or other institutional abuse to contact them for confidential advice.
The Jehovah's Witnesses have rules that possibly run contrary to good practice rules that minimise the chance of child abuse. Those include:
· Two witness rule- officials cannot accept and accusation of child abuse unless there was a second person who also witnessed the abuse. The organisation considers this to be a protection against malicious accusations of sexual assault.
· Women’s role (or lack of) - As a patriarchal religion, women are to view men as their head. They cannot be part of a judicial committee. This means that a young female victim must divulge details of her abuse in front of three older men.
· Survivors are expected to confront the perpetrator.
· It is not (or was not) mandatory for elders to report accusations of abuse.
· Allegations are not reported to police due to general ‘mistrust ‘of non-witnesses.
· Fear of psychologists- give advice that does not align with Watchtower principles.
· Theocratic War Doctrine – encouraging members to lie and purge themselves if it is in the interests of the church.
CONTACT US CONFIDENTIALLY
Artemis Legal respects freedom of religion but there are no excuses for permitting child abuse or failing to take reasonable steps to prevent it.

Serial Killer Converted to God
October 13, 2015
Perth serial killer Richard Dorrough had found God and was struggling to live with the guilt of three murders on his conscience when he decided to take his own life last year.
The West Australian [newspaper] can reveal Dorrough, who admitted killing three times in a suicide note, became a Jehovah’s Witness after door-knocking “missionaries” visited his Byford home months before his death.
It is understood he was unable to reconcile his dark past with his new life, prompting his decision to confess to his crimes before shooting himself.
The 37-year-old did not reveal in his note who his victims were or where and when they died.
