    Jack Ryan got a reaction from Witness in "JW Box" of "Spiritual Food" for the Africans   
    https://www.jw.org/en/library/series/how-your-donations-are-used/A-Small-Box-That-Delivers-Spiritual-Food/
    The branch loads usb sticks with videos and content and sends it to the congregation, who then load it to the jw box, which the publishers connect and download into their devices. 
    It works as a normal device and can be charged through usb, adapter or power bank.
    The best part, they want donations of $75 for it! So they don't provide any physical food to people in Africa but they can send them "Spiritual Food" for $75. 
    Turns out, you can buy the same exact thing on Amazon for $45!!! All they did was slap a JW Logo onto of it and cover over the name of the product with a white sticky tape. 
    let's say they bought these in bulk for 20 dollars. If they sell 1million of these at a 50.00 dollar profit. The org just made 50 million !

    Belgium: Jehovah's Witnesses will be tried for hate crimes on February 16.
    https://www.nieuwsblad.be/cnt/dmf20200915_93224449
     translated courtesy pf Google Translate
    GHENT - The Jehovah's Witnesses stood before the Ghent criminal court on Tuesday for inciting hatred towards some ex-members. The various parties are now given time to prepare their pleas. The case will be heard on February 16, 2021.
    For a period of five years, the court investigated complaints from ex-members of the Jehovah's Witnesses. They testified about how they were rejected by order of the organization and became completely socially isolated.
    The Ghent prosecutor's office already sued the Jehovah's Witnesses in June, but the case was then postponed. On Tuesday, the case against the Jehovah's witnesses was reopened. The deadline for conclusion has been set and pleadings will take place on February 16, 2021. A dozen people already presented themselves as disadvantaged parties. According to the defense of the ex-members, this number will only increase.
    The non-profit association is charged with four cases. First and foremost, inciting discrimination based on religious beliefs against a person and against a group. In addition, also inciting hatred or violence towards a person and towards a group.

    Jack Ryan got a reaction from Srecko Sostar in Why Is Neutrality So Important? - Talk on Oct 26, 2020 just before the elections   
    Watchtower is telling Congregations to replace the 15 minute local needs talk in the Midweek Meeting of October 26th with a talk on neutrality.
    Outline here
    Watchtower is well aware that what they are doing may well provoke persecution and it is only officials who are actively opposing their activities that they are not to write to.
    This whole letter campaign has the potential to be politically dangerous for them as the magazine they are sending says their Government will be destroyed.

    Lost in twilight, the memories
    Precious moments, you and me
    We've been old friends, all through the years
    Picture postcards, sharing tears
    What's in our hearts, there's never time, to say
    Need you tonight, lover don't fade away
    I've seen your city lights
    As I walk away
    Why can't this night...go on forever
    Without love, we won't survive
    Run together, we rule the night
    Tell me secrets, oh that make you cry
    Where's the laughter, we gotta try
    What's in our hearts, there's never time to say
    Need you tonight, lover don't fade away
    Like a photograph
    That time won't erase
    Why can't this night...go on forever
    Go on forever and ever...ever and ever

    Jack Ryan got a reaction from Shiwiii in Norwegian court: Disfellowshipping was against the law   
    A Norwegian JW woman, who was sexually abused, was disfellowshipped for fornication. The woman first appealed inside the organization - without success. Feeling injustice, she then decided to sue Jehovah's Witnesses. The court decided last month that the disfellowshipping was against the Norwegian law and must be canceled. The court also ordered the local Jehovah's Witness organization to pay 100 000 NOK to the woman.
    Here is the story, in a Norwegian newspaper.

    "...I am however a member of the Governing Body of the WTBTS, perhaps the most senior of the eight GB members. In fact myself and my buddies channel the spirit of Christ Jesus and we take direction directly from him on all doctrinal and organisational matters, who in turn takes direction from Jehovah himself! You see Your Honour, WE are the faithful and discreet slave as described in The Bible! Yeah, check US out! But to answer your question, I have nothing to do with Watchtower whatsoever!! Next question?!"

    Paedophile ELDER.  Article dated : 12 April 2020
    Clifford Whiteley, 73, jailed for offences but court told church had refused to reveal details of what he told them
     
    A Jehovah's Witnesses group refused to help police after a paedophile elder had confessed to them, a court heard.
    Clifford Whiteley, 73, had admitted the child abuse to a West Midlands branch of the church after carrying out the attack more than ten years ago.
    But a court heard the group allegedly refused to reveal details of that confession to police - citing data protection reasons.
    After being arrested by police Whiteley initially denied his crimes, before saying: "My life is over now. Jehovah's Witnesses cannot lie. God will judge me."
    Whiteley, of Ball Fields, Great Bridge, Tipton, was jailed for nine years at Birmingham Crown Court.
    The Queen Elizabeth II Law Courts, better known as Birmingham Crown Court He had previously pleaded guilty to sexual assault of a child and three other serious sexual offences.
    Passing sentence, Judge Paul Farrer QC told him: "You used your religion to convince your victim she was complicit in your wrongdoing and, in that way, sought to silence her and, sadly, you succeeded for many years."
    The court heard the victim had been brought up in the Jehovah's Witnesses while the defendant was an elder in a congregation in the West Midlands.
    Kathryn Orchard, prosecuting, said the victim had tried to "blot out" the offences.
    But after she revealed what had happened to her there was a meeting with church figures where Whiteley denied the allegations.
    Miss Orchard said the Jehovah's Witnesses also launched its own investigation and the defendant had confessed.
    But it was claimed when police later quizzed about the details of what Whiteley said, the group refused to reveal them.
    Miss Orchard said the defendant had also not answered police questions.
    The judge said the victim suffered severe psychological harm and that it was enduring.
    Sharon Bailey, defending, said Whiteley had a number of health issues which would become more acute in time.
    She said he had not been responsible for the Jehovah's Witnesses refusing to disclose his confession - a decision allegedly taken for data protection reasons.
    So it continues. No cooperation with the police. Using Clergy-Penitent Privilege / 'Data Protection' as an excuse.  
    It isn't going to change until Yahweh, through Yeshua / Jesus, judges the CCJW and it's Leaders.

    A report like this is easy to purchase. The authors have no morals or credibility and the 'report' was built off a set of required talking points provided by the watchtower. The very fact that they spent an massive pile of ice cream money on something completely non-binding means they are mortified of the possibility that the Dutch report will cause a massive Exodus.

    China launches high-tech bird drones to watch citizens
    For those not interested in either politics or technology, you may not have heard of China's notoriously controlling government rolling out a massive surveillance system to enforce their new social credit initiative. What this does is provide everybody with a score or grade, based on everything they or close family members do, say, purchase, etc. Everything they can track, they will. Having a sub-optimal social score will result in losing certain privileges, such as getting a bank loan, traveling, education, or employment.
