You are absolutely right that the organisation is not geared to help the weak, only to judge and 'fire' them like a ruthless business manager. You may get two or three warnings (put on reproof if you grovel to the elders at your JC) but 3 strikes and yer out! No matter how repentant you are for your weakness, you WILL be expelled if you do it a third time (can't be repentant if you keep doing it the elders will tell you).
The WTS sounds more and more like strickly a business to me.....

There is one key difference between the Watchtower Society and other businesses.
Other buisnesses are not cults.

There ones in the congo I go that have not put a service report in for over two years, they come to the meetings regualary and one answers up, one an x elders wife (he died) the other born in the truth, and still many that only what the society says does a token service, they are all talked to and invited to do's. So I guess it is who you are and or maybe what congo you go to.
We have had one DA themselves, (I heard due to back biting and gossip) another reproved and haven't seen in almost a year, and others that seem to get away with stuff that if I did would be reproved or pulled before a JC because of insubordination.....figure.

I read that link to what Dave said, was very in tune to what I believe. But I have never heard of JW doing an add for TV, has anyone see it? did it go to air? or was it just a thought and not actually acted upon..

The WTS does not pay its workers but it gets them to work for it free a very smart and twisted use of religion. How many companies can boast of having zero wage costs for their work force?
And in addition they get some nice extras like large donations of cash and properties (supposedly to assist the world wide preaching work) from deceived members and all the KHs built by the local dubs at their own expense but given to the org, it gets the title deeds.
Religion has to be a great way to make money.

As I put on another thread, once I stopped regular pioneering they sent me a letter asking me to return all litertature, (they used to give it cheeper to the pioneers) I threw them out, really no thank sister for you're years of dedication and pioneering at my expence, the literature I had left would have worth at most, $7..now if that isn't buisness!
I couldn't help but see the petiness in this at the time, but still later on went back into the troof, (not pioneering) so I meed urgent mind help.....
