- in which european country, not member of the eu, and well known for their banking industry, jw.org and some affiliated structures do maintain some business incorporated structures and companies?.
- which is the purpose of these business and company structures?.

i don't think this has been picked up anywhere yet.
the revised nwt released in 2013 is already out of date.
the second half of psalm 51:4 now reads "therefore, you are righteous when you speak, you are right in your judgment" in the online version where the printed version reads "so that you might prove righteous when you speak, and be right in your judgment".. fairly unimportant in itself, but i wonder what else has been changed without telling anyone..
Give the JWs a little slack. It must be very difficult for them to read conflicting "truths" between what the Bible actually says and what the Watchtower magazine actually teaches.
It is only to be expected that the official JW bible would be revised and constantly updated to fit in with the new light published in the Watchtower magazine.
Keep in mind the publishing precedent set by the Watchtower magazine in reducing the number of pages and volume of words printed, of which was then adopted into the bible by reducing the number of pages and volume of words printed in the bible, which then set the scriptural precedent to justify the previous reduction of the Watchtower magazine.
These changes to the bible were prophecied in the bible in the revised version of the prophecy which stated "the light gets brighter".

1:3.. full-time servants have significant responsibilities in the most important work the world has ever known.
(matt.
Q: What would a full-time servant of Jehovah's Witnesses do if confronted with a homeless person who had lost their primary means of support?
A: Read them a scripture.
Oh the irony that those Bethelites who were suddenly made homeless, and who have lost their own primary means of support, are read a scripture. You reap what you sow.
how did such a weighty decision get put directly in the hands on the average citizen?
and with only a simple majority required?
in the usa the biggest thing that people vote on directly is city building projects or infrastructure.
It comes down to the GOD effect and the unintended side-effect.
GOD = Guardians of Democracy. Equal say for all people. The decision with the most votes wins.
Not to be confused with the other GOD effect, Guardians of Doctrine, the prefered choice of the governing body of Jehovah's Witnesses, in which no one has any say over anything but for the self-chosen holy seven.
judge sanctions jehovah's witnesses.
imposes $4000-a-day penalty for not producing documents in sex-abuse case.
by dorian hargrove, june 24, 2016. a san diego superior court judge has ordered the church of jehovah's witnesses, also known as the watchtower bible and tract society of pennsylvania, to pay $4000 a day for every day that it fails to produce documents requested in a civil lawsuit brought by former parishioner, osbaldo padron, who claims a church elder sexually abused him when he was seven years old.. in a june 23 ruling, expected to be made final today, judge richard strauss admonished the church for willfully ignoring a court order to produce all documents associated with a 1997 body of elders letter that church leaders sent to parishes around the world in a quest to learn about sexual abuse of children by church leaders.. over the course of the past year, the watchtower society and its lawyers have fought hard to keep the letter confidential, claiming that turning over the documents would infringe on the privacy of those mentioned in the letter that were not associated with the case.. in march 2015, the church turned over a heavily redacted version of the letter.
To All Congregations in the USA
Dear Brothers,

Your brothers,
Watch Tower Bible & Tract Society of Pennsylvania

punkofnice: It's the feet of clay in Daniel's drug induced vision, they mean something again. The UK and the USA will be the dual world power again. Phew! The WBT$ were right all along.....apart from the feet of clay....and everything else they predicted.
Not if Scotland goes to another referendum and decides to leaves the UK so as to remain part of the EU.

So Britain is leaving the European Union (EU).
The governing body of Jehovah's Witnesses have over the past year moved the majority of its European activities to the control of Watchtower Britain and the IBSA primarily because of Britain's membership with the EU.
Further, the incorporated pseudo-political lobby group, European Association of Jehovah's Christian Witnesses, based in the political lobby district of Brussels, is administered by Watchtower Britain and its officers.
Expect major changes in the structure of Watchtower.

In reply to my post Simon says: "it doesn't matter what they do. We're better than that."
No truer word said. This forum welcomes all.
According to JW leadership theology ... the ruler of this world is Satan ... God loved the world so much that he sacrificed his son Jesus ... only JWs are in line to benefit from the sacrifice of Jesus and to live forever. Go figure.
