Manchester Assembly Hall
by Lostandfound inmany years ago, the managers house was sold, and two flats built, high up above the stage, one for the manager (then derek carter) and one for the district overseer, a redundant position now.
who has the flats now.. also the figures on the charity commissions site, show the hall operating at a loss, surely not..

Brief Encounter
by snugglebunny inthe witnesses knocked on my door yesterday.
a married couple, 70's probably, and introduced themselves by giving their first names and stating that they were jehovah's witnesses.. it's 5+ years since we left our old address and moved a few hundred yards away.

"It is the victims right to approach authorities" The weak excuse used by the society
by stuckinarut2 inwe have seen that the society falls back on the line "it is the victims right to approach the authorities" during all the abuse claims.. they use this excuse to try and defend the passive lack of action in failing to report suspected cases of abuse.. a comparison came to mind:.
if we came across a person lying in the street who says they were hit by a car, would we say "it is your absolute right to call the paramedics and police"?.
or would we take the initiative and call those authorities ourselves to help the person?.

Question—does anyone know...?
by careful inmost here are familiar with the history of the child abuse issue.
one past policy the org had was forbidding parents to report the child abuser to police or warn other parents in the congregation of the abuser.
they used to threaten dfing if such parents disobeyed the org in this matter.

The case of Jamal Khashoggi
by LoveUniHateExams injust been catching up on the case of jamal khashoggi.. khashoggi was a saudi journalist who 'went missing' on 2 october after visiting the saudi consulate in istanbul.. he visited the consulate in order to get paperwork that confirmed he was divorced from his ex-wife and free to marry his turkish fiancée.. the details that are emerging are harrowing and show just how barbaric the saudi regime is.. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6288131/jamal-khashoggis-apparent-murder-follows-disappearance-three-exiled-royal-princes.html.
these assassins are the kinda people my government (uk) and other western governments are doing business with, propping up, and acting all smiley with in front of the cameras.. i suddenly feel the need to take a shower ....

What happened to the "New World Order"?
by stuckinarut2 inso as a child and youth growing up as a witness, (i'm 43 now) we often heard the expression "new world order".. the society just doesnt use that expression anymore.
so what was the reasoning behind them amending that expression?.
