And since I was not around when this other thing happened, what was the issue they fought in France? I remember it was mentioned in assemblies as one of the many legal battles Jehovah fought for them and won. I also remember taxes were an issue.
Any ideas?

recently they announced at my hall that a large donation had been made to the local congregation-- nearly $100,000.
they then proposed a resolution that we continue our new(ish) practice of only keeping enough money on hand locally for monthly expenses, and send the entire amount of this large donation to the watchtower society.
aside from the fact that our congregation has already sent well over a half-million dollars to the wt in the last 12 months, i don't understand the motive of the person who made the donation.
Tax shelter.
Although you could also use the annuity arrangement and get a better long term tax plan.
i don't know if any of you have seen the video posted by mike and kim regarding jw.org advertising on a thailand computer game review television show.
its interesting - check it out.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57nigmnim18.
the show is called game show social - i looked at a few of the videos and jw.org is on a lot of them.. at first i thought that it was a review of a jw.org app but when you look at other videos jw.org is on a lot of them as a sponsor as well as dell lg and others.. wgo..
are you still a jw?
please ask yourself and think about is deeply..... if there is a god and he made this incredible universe.......what is more likely?.
a) that he needs your dollar bills to achieve his plans for the universe.
what is the most obvious thing you can think of about jehovah's witnesses from the standpoint of worldwide recognition?.
wouldn't it be 2 primary things: the name jehovah and secondly, the public testimony or witnessing?.
let's begin deconstructing those two things.. first, why would christians refer to themselves by any other name than christian?.
Well, Jesus did clarify how to identify "Christians". The name sure is generic and hardly makes a case for any single organization to be identified as the true organization. But yet again, I personally don't think that such a thing was in the mind of God or Jesus. The bible clearly states that you would recognize this men (not organization) by their fruit and by their love among one another. Never, I believe, does the bible mentions that they should behave and act as if they were their own sovereign country with legal systems and all. Yet, this is what the WTS is attempting to do and more so this days. Just review the new book (God's Kingdom rules) and you will see that. They lined up closer to the Jews of old Israel than they do to the first century Christians.
Just wish I had more time to write. Not saying my view is better or is the only one right. Just like Terry here, I am trying to put my thoughts together for someone to review.
sounds familiar?.

about time..... "teachers, councillors and social workers in england and wales who fail to protect children could face up to five years in jail under new proposals.. the new measures, being unveiled by the prime minister, would see the crime of "wilful neglect" extended to cover children's social care and education.. there would also be unlimited fines for individuals and organisations shown to have let children down.".

when they so cleverly predicted to us all that the world would turn against them, something that has not happened despite over a 100 years of taunting power and opposing religious figures, now it is likely to begin, they failed to mention that it would be due to rampant paedophilia in 'gods earthly organisation'.what a wholesome enviroment to grow up in and raise a child.. we have heard it said many times here that the jw's won't last as they are so entrenched in trends, so opposite to modern human progress, culture and society, they stand out as more extremist and inhumane by the year, mocked regularly in the media now.
@Vidiot.
Not a far fetched idea and not something they have not done before. It would be a great way for the FDS to run and hide its masters "belongings", if you know what I mean.
what would you do if you were conti or lopez and had a large award?
sure, the options and the tastes are many but consider this.... i don't know if this has already been covered or mentioned but i think there would be no better investment of that money than to put into a non-profit.
on dedicated to seek out and bring forward more cases.
