According to the Bible Jesus himself was conceived out of wedlock, with the father being someone other than the actual man that Mary was engaged to. Hmmm.

Do You Care If A World Leader Had An Affair Before Taking Office?
by minimus ini don’t care about it unless someone runs on a record of being a model family man or woman.. does it bother you if a president or princess or top government official “cheats “??

Good spotting. I found another Morris III approved picture. Could be the same bro.

Watchtower History Gem: I Found When Maria Got Her Teaching Certificate
by Wild_Thing ini consider myself an amateur watchtower history buff.
i have always read that maria frances ackley russell, charles taze russell's first and only wife, went to a teacher training college and was a teacher for a number of years before marrying russell.
but, i have never seen proof that she truly did finish college and became a certified teacher.

Bobby2446 - is that you Geoffrey Jackson? Your arguments and deflection are identical to your ARC testimony. Geoff, with two ef's, have you not listened to your own advise and followed the slave's dogma, i.e. your own dogma, regarding visiting sites like this? Naughty, naughty, but I forgive you.

smiddy3 - no other comments?
Just waiting for the government to release the details and vote through the new legislation to close the loopholes used by religion to claim 'poor.'
The Catholic Church in Victoria, Australia, uses the same accounting methods as the Jehovah's Witness Church. Interestingly Watchtower Australia claims no assets or real estate in Victoria and under $2million in real estate Australia-wide.
See news links:

smiddy3 - "This is not to say that the Slave is perfect and never makes mistakes."
The Slave made a big mistake in Victoria, Australia, in relation to their failure to comply with mandatory child protection laws, including the working with children laws and police checks for ministers of religion (i.e. every single elder). They were charged with multiple offences and summoned to appear in court.
So bad was the 'mistake' that they even had it announced by their legal representative (a baptized sister) in public court that they do not exist except as a "theological arrangement."
The unincorporated JW bodies that failed to attend court and answer the charges can now be sued for the 100's of millions of dollars in fines they were facing.
Did they ever in their wildest spiritual dreams think that the Prosecutor was ever going to let them get away with it long term?
Now the money can potentially go to the victims, the JW children, and not the State Treasury. Over Au$300 million in the first round.
Add to that all the payouts from the Child Abuse Redress Scheme put together by the ARC. Up to Au$150,000 per settlement as determined by the State who will investigate the allegations and not the Watchtower- who will be sent the bill.

AbusedAndPissed - There is already a legal entity that can be sued.
Watchtower Australia does not have the assets. See below.
The above amount is equivalent to US$1.5 million. That is pretty much all the assets that can be seized in any class action lawsuit. See the link in my above post.
However the branch committee members and certain JW leaders in Australia are underwritten via US-based insurance on an individual basis. We have the policy account numbers courtesy of the ARC. They can now be sued collectively as the Church of Jehovah's Witnesses instead of Watchtower Australia which is more-or-less a management and consulting company for congregations and elders, but not members of the congregations.
