I thought the Charity Commision here in UK were going to end the 'charity status' of the JW Org because of the Child Sexual Abuse within the Org and because of the GB's obstanance and refusal to change their man made rules. Pity the CC didn't follow through on the plan. 

The courts of several countries have ruled differently on this matter.

Do, all humans go to heaven?

Maybe all those who believe in it are going to heaven.  

Speaking of heaven, I would say this too. The concept of the Catholic faith is that they hope to go / continue to live in heaven when they die on earth, for example.
At JWs, another situation has occurred, which is unfavorable at its core. Namely, JWs hopes that some of them will go to heaven, upon death here on earth. So it is similar to the Catholic belief, they die on earth and continue to live in heaven (only since 1914/1919 this is possible, of course according to WTJWorg).

Eh now, these other JWs who hope for eternal life on earth through the survival of Armageddon or through the resurrection are at a disadvantage. Because, such a change should have happened several times in these 140 years of WTS existence. And each time their faith and hope failed. And many died without the possibility of both combinations of gaining a “better” life.
So, Catholics believe and hope and it comes true to them at death. JWs believe and hope, but this is by no means achieved now or later, but is constantly delayed through various "new lights" and never come true.

I hardly ever think of an “afterlife”

I have decided it’s more productive to try and be better at the one I know about now.

I know it's off the topic, but the "algorithm" 🙃 just picked up something interesting about this particular spelling of "G-d" which was also a feature of several of the same accounts mentioned earlier. "Allen Smith" "Billy the Kid" "Dmitar" etc.

In fact, it was also used by one of your most cleverly named accounts, in my opinion. It was one that you used just after the "Billy The Kid" account, and I thought it was a clever renaming, remaining in the same genre of account names:

You either serve G-d the right way or you don’t.

@Patiently waiting for Truth had already pointed out McNelly's relationship to "Billy the Kid" since Leander H McNelly was from the same time in American "Old West" history, and from the same part of the United States, just one state over from where Billy the Kid was also active. McNelly was also famous for gunfights.

Of course, since Leander McNelly was a famous Texas Ranger, it might be of interest to note that the name "Walter Prescott" is also a two-thirds of the name of the author of "The Texas Rangers," a book that includes discussions about Leander H McNelly.

I noticed this specificity, but only for reasons of confusion. Because why would anyone even use this form ("G-d") when they can write "o" instead "-". First what came to my mind was, is he some sort of Mason?

Could you imagine being re-incarnated as a fire hydrant?

A lot of modern Jewish writing uses this spelling. Dmitar quoted from several such sources that used that spelling just in the last couple of months. Very few others have ever mentioned it or made use of this spelling.

[Pudgy]

Dmitar’s “new” personnas are easily recognized after a few paragraphs filled with questions it would take a thesis of large proportion to address, and a deluge of agenda driven downvotes.

When his new persona appears, It’s as if thousands of voices cried out in pain, and were suddenly stilled.

It’s like in the first Muppet Movie, the “… but have you tried Hare Krishna …” running gag.

(Just a note, I do not necessarily agree with all the stands taken by publishers of any of the above mentioned websites, but I do pray for Jan and I think he is very brave. May Jehovah continue to bless him for being willing to go through the hellish situation of being drilled by a Watchtower lawyer in order to bear witness to the truth. "Jehovah's Witnesses" as an organization have brought great reproach on Jehovah's holy name. Jehovah will cleanse His Name People for the sake of His Holy Name and regather all the little hurt sheep. May Jehovah be praised.)

WOW!

Those Norwegians are really SERIOUS about basic human decency and basic human rights!

WHO KNEW?

I guess being invaded and occupied by the Nazis during WWII made them sensitive about such things.

So the JW.Org published account is the LATEST NEWS?
