WATCHTOWER DEFINITELY TRYING TO DODGE TAX OBLIGATIONS TO FRANCE Watchtower money woes became more evident by 1998 when it took out a full page advertisement in the New York Times protesting that the government of France was taxing and penalizing it.  To work against the government of France, Watchtower moved its printing across the channel to the U.K. and later sent France's JWs out protesting against the Government.  JWs in other lands such as the United States were misinformed by Watchtower that Watchtower was being "persecuted."  In fact it and its "Faithful and Discreet Slave" Governing Body were being unfaithful and indiscreet, not obedient to the "higher authorities" in heaven or those on earth.

WATCHTOWER DEFINITELY DIDN'T WANT TO PAY TAXES IN THE UNITED STATES EITHER -- THE PROOF! Watchtower filed a letter pro-Swaggart re taxes When Swaggart lost, the 1990 case so did Watchtower Click to see Watchtower's letter that it filed on behalf of the ultimately losing effort of Swaggart (and itself) to evade paying taxes: http://www.bibletopics.com/biblestudy/84a.htm Watchtower filed a "friend of the court" paper in the Jimmy Swaggart Ministry case which is where Swaggart claim he didn't have to pay taxes on literature sales.  When Swaggart lost the case, by extension Watchtower also lost.  It had to order JWs presenting magazines etc at the doors to not say the literature was for a definite amount of money.  For a while it went to telling JWs to say the literature was for a "suggested" price of such-and-such an amount.  The IRS may have viewed this as another effort at tax-dodging.  Uncle Sam always gets his money. Watchtower's Governing Body had yet again proved itself to not be the "Faithful and Discreet" (some Bibles say "Loyal and Wise" Slave of God, trying to dodge taxes in the U.S. as well as in France and not improbably other lands. With time Watchtower assets such as an upstate New York farm, giant skyscrapers in Brooklyn, numerous kingdom halls etc have been sold off.  Especially around the time of the Stock Market crash we have seen even more selling and moves to do future selling. Naturally the question arises: might Watchtower be quietly in receivership from the U.S. Government, keeping it quiet so that tens of thousands of the least mentally stable JWs in the U.S. and worldwide might not think it's Armageddon and suicide? Regardless, the Watchtower Society and its Governing Body men are proved Unfaithful and Indiscreet, Disloyal and Unwise.

POINTS RE WATCHTOWER RECEIVERSHIP BEING KEPT CONFIDENTIAL Must receivership as when IRS gets financial control of an organization, or the terms for such receivership, etc always have to be made public?  Note that law has stated "In the absence of objection, the entire decision will be made public" which conversely means that when there is valid reason presented in an objection then such matters indeed can be sealed.  Apart from law on receivership, when lives are at stake, such as when dealing with the organization of an Armageddon group like the Watchtower Society, the weight for saving lives would seem to out-weigh the usual disclosures to the public.  However, I am not an attorney and so you and others are invited to examine details seen on the link I've put a little farther below here.   Law does normally require full disclosure but as with all things there can be unusual circumstances and/or the disclosing of a matter may be delayed, possibly for decades so as to protect life and limb. And, going back to receivership, sometimes an organization itself may prefer to not have matters disclosed openly and therefore object.  If, theoretically-speaking, Watchtower didn't want it known that it was under receivership, it might be for any number of reasons.  One might be out of concern for those who might suicide, but another reason might be because it knew that once it became clear that it had not managed stewardship as a "Faithful and Discreet Slave" (Mt 24), then others would call it to task. http://www.uscourts.gov/rules/supct1106/CV_CLEAN_FINAL5-30-07.pdf  (b) Decisions of special masters and judges. When a decision of a special master or of the court is filed with the clerk, each party will be afforded 14 days in which to object to the public disclosure of any information furnished by that party– (1) that is trade secret or commercial or financial information and is privileged or confidential, or (2) that are medical files and similar files the disclosure of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of privacy.  If the party furnishing information objects to disclosure, that information shall be redacted prior to public disclosure of the decision. In the absence of objection, the entire decision will be made public.

THE FOLLOWING SHOULD ALL BE VIEWED AS “THEORETICAL” OR SPECULATIVE-ONLY, OF COURSE TYPICAL DOOR-TO-DOOR PRESENTATIONS Before the Supreme Court ruling over the Swaggart case a typical door-to-door magazine presentation ran thusly, "The magazines are just 25 cents each!” Right after the Supreme Court ruling against Swaggart (and thereby also Watchtower), the typical presentation was more like "The magazines are for just a ‘suggested contribution’ of 35 cents each.”  After the federal authorites were informed that the presentation was being deliberately worded to dodge paying taxes as seen in the preceding, they would have put Watchtower into receivership, meaning begun controlling its overall finances and selling off some assets to pay the back taxes and penalties.  From that time forward the presentation would be more like " “The magazines are for any amount you may wish to contribute for the Worldwide Work.” OBSERVED RESULTS Watchtower has drawn closer to the U.N. hoping to get a bigger “cannon” to deal with the U.S. federal “cannon” of receivership and any other actions that might be taken to farther penalize or dismantle it Due to less and less money and imposed court direction, Watchtower’s publications would have had to be made more cheaply (seen), it would have had to lay off Bethelites (seen), had to sell some branch presses and buildings (all seen), had to sell huge skyscrapers (seen), compact kingdom halls (seen), sell its upstate New York farm (done some time back), sell some kingdom halls in the U.K. (done), etc.   Uncle Sam always gets his money.  (A given)  Due to the recession or depression due to the Stock Market collapse, Uncle Sam needs even more money than usual (definite), hence the quickened pace at which Watchtower property assets have been sold off. (logical and seen)  Watchtower heads have stubbornly, stupidly  resisted inevitable doctrinal reforms about blood and their two-witnesses policy on pedophilie elders (trying to show it has some ability despite the financial receivership -- seen), but the mounting fees of attorneys and sharply cut donations from regular JWs (seen) have caused them to make some minor changes (seen) and still more are rumored coming. (heard coming)    ExJWs have increasingly reported being stalked and harassed (seen and read), attempts made to disrupt phone calls and conferences etc that are local, multi-state and sometime interenational. (yes) Some now fear for personal safety and safety of loved ones.  (yes)  The Feds appear to be coldly ignoring this. (yes) JWs are increasingly upset seeing a lot of weird "New Light" doctrinal changes.  Armageddon has in essence been "delayed."  Still, paranoia about "apostates" is at a fever pitch and only grows.  Watchtower needs a scapegoat, so blames everything on ExJW apostates.  Of course the biggest cannon isn't exJWs but the authorities, but Uncle Sam.  As David said things aren't always what they appear to be.  Yet JWs have up to now not known what was going on so readily worked against and blamed anything and everything against "evil" anti-God apostates (ExJWs).   Also acted increasingly forcefully, physically against perceived foes.  WHY KEPT QUIET AND OUT OF THE MEDIA SO LONG, HOW IT LASTED AND HOW IT IS ENDING The suicides and fiery deaths that occurred in regard to the Heaven’s Gate cult and the Branch Davidians at Waco, Texas, clearly would have convinced Federal authorities of the need to keep the receivership quiet as long as possible.  Watchtower’s top-most officials would have hoped that if they played along quietly in time they might just as quietly get out of receivership. Federal authorities asked David to not blow the lid to the media so as to protect lives so he went easy but, as he could feel death coming, he insisted that he as a free, law-abiding and dying citizen get to express his proper indignation against Watchtower. They assented.  He was right, plus there was no way to lawfully keep him from doing so and since he knew he was dying there was simply no power over him except that if they went along and appeared to be treating him fairly they could prolong keeping him from going to the "General" Public rather than just the community of Ex-JWs and Friends. They helped him put up and defend the watchtower.cc website.  On facebook.com he put up a website for venting and letting off steam and they humored his request that they be among his Facebook friends there with their photos showing them in Judges' robes.  Now, this theory or exercise in speculation-only concludes with "how it ends."  The information is out there.  Although Watchtower has tried to keep it quiet, this has failed.  The authorities also wanted to keep it quiet, but that didn't work either.  Word has only spread. Therefore effort must now shift to preparing the general Jehovah's Witnesses and the local elders with the realities.  Too, there are Bethel workers of many years who were laid off.  By now some, having been insiders, will have for example informed European Union officials of various matters along with confirming documents.  All these things will hit the general news and simultaneously also get to the ears of regular JWs around the world.  Some, being depressed persons also upset that Armageddon hasn't come, may suicide.  Therefore, there is great need for U.S. federal officials to prepare for such possibilities and definitely to find ways to educate JWs so as to make for a softer landing. The only questions are if they will do so quickly, urgently, right now as needed, or if they will think they can keep prolonging the charade?  We shall see what we shall see. Again, theory or speculation only.....  Time will tell us more.

BRAVE EX-JW DAVID CARTER LIVES ON IN SPIRIT!  The Roanoke (Virginia) Times of May 4, 2010 noted that David Lynn Carter of Wirtz near Roanoke, Virginia, had died at age 44 with arrangments by Conner-Bowman Funeral Home and Crematory (540 334-5151).   David was born with Riley-Day Syndrome http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001387.htm , complained he was sexually abused by elders who to shut him up put another person up to administering strychine (rat's poison) to him.  In any case, he sometimes also drank to alleviate pain, but yet he was also well-known for being polite and considerate.  He confided that Watchtower's finances have quietly been into receivership (overall financial control) from U.S. federal authorities, not using that word but describing the situation.  To see an interesting theory about what that could mean in regard to Watchtower's efforts to dodge taxes in the tax-dodging effort of Jimmy Swaggart Ministries, its selling off enormous amounts of real estate, etc, see the section elsewhere here about Cash Cows And Other Money Trails Of The Watchtower.  On May 8, 2010, the world famous detective Scott Bernstein came on sixscreensofthewatchtower and confirmed that he has been investigating the case but can not give more information as the investigation is ongoing.  The show's tape will be available at http://sixscreensofthewatchtower.com/sixscreens-conferencecall.html Click to see Cash Cows And Other Money Trails Of Watchtower Some of the Friends gathered on the Friday night after David's passing by phone conferencing as a Memorial to David’s life and bravery.  Our prayers and thoughts were definitely with his  family.   Memorial By Phone: 11 PM EST (U.S.A.)  Phone 347-945-760* David's dog Honey CLICK FOR A THEORY OF SPECIAL INTEREST IN PARTICULAR FOR THOSE WHO KNEW DAVID
