Never work... puts the elders wife one step closer to the ear of god. They cant keep a secret now... rumors are bad enough...but one step away from the horses mouth?

Who would have listened to all of J.F. Rutherford's naughtiness? Oh, sheesh, that's right, his mistress probably did as he talked in his sleep.
#1: Contributions would surge sufficiently to allow elders to buy decent clothes.....How?..Elders buy their own clothes,with their own money...............#2:The WTBTS would be listed on the NYSE within about 10 minutes.....The WBT$ has been on the NYSE for years....................#3:Elders would give up their lucrative window cleaning rounds and get paid by the society to cope with the influx of sins/money.....The WBT$ never gives away money to Elders..Get a job or go on Welfare..................#4:Nobody would ever be diassociated (why lose the revenue?).....Now there is no way to keep the R/F JW scared of losing family and friends......................#5:New qualifications for elders would be accountancy related.....That would mean Education!..
........................#6:Collections would be outsourced to secuirty guards.....Nobody touch`s WBT$ money except good WBT$ Company men......................#7:RBC = regional box counters.....Huh?.....................

What if all Christians actually followed the command:
"Therefore, make it your habit to confess your sins to one another and to pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." -James 5:16
Then they would actually be listening to God, not men, and blessings would ensue. It is amazing how humbling and healing being honest about ourselves is, as stated in Ephesians 5:13-14:
"But everything that is exposed to the light becomes visible, for the light is making everything visible. That is why it says,
“Wake up, O sleeper!
Arise from the dead,
and the Messiah will shine on you.’
Instead, JWs have their "judicial comittee", judging sinners just like themselves on the basis of man-made Watchtower teachings rather than the Bible.
They "strain out the gnat, but gulp down the camel" - Matthew 23:24
They would do well to heed Jesus Christ: "If you had known what these words mean, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the innocent." -Matthew 12:7
And also Christ's words here: "Be on your guard. "If your brother acts wrongly, reprove him; and if he is sorry, forgive him" - Luke 17:3
BA- Follow Christ.
