    Wherami, quite the video - seems familiar to be sure!

    These charlatans are more 'hit and run' evangelists. Pump them up, grab the money and run!

    To compare these guys with the watchtower is ..... hmmm is there a comparison??

    Seems to me the watchtower magicians want your whole life .... as the born-ins can confirm. They aren't asking for a quick hit of your money .... they also want your blood sweat and tears.

    They want you to work in their factories producing books & magazines, they want free labour - salespersons to not only sell the stuff, but to continually buy it themselves and convince others to join them. Thereby guarranteeing more foolish future salespersons. It's a longterm contract that has you basically signing on the dotted line to ..."identify you as one of jehovah's witnesses in association with god's .......spirit-directed organization" (baptismal vow)- & god help you if you try to break that contract!!!!!!!

    So geez what an amazing plan! What other Printing Co in the world has 7 million workers who not only do not expect a paycheque, medical or retirement plan, who themselves cover the costs of distribution for all literature in the communities, spend millions of hours training new workers for this company org, show their loyalty by even letting their families die for it, get thrown in jail for it, deprive the family of special fun times that make wonderful memories to cherish, give up all relatives who 'just can't see what a great thing this', shun family and friends if they stop doing all of the above ......boy that will make them think twice eh??

    What other Real Estate Developer has millions of skilled tradesmen & women to go to work on all and any project in the world (well mostly NY 'cause that's where the best RE is) Willing strong backed workers renovating old buildings, quick build's ... a snap of the Fingers and it's done ... all costs (travel, equipment, etc) mostly covered by the 'workers'! Oh, and don't get hurt 'cause your on your own then!

    I could keep going here but my head is starting to ache, so add your own thoughts 'cause there's way more!!

    Clarity - Your comments help me to clarify some aspects of the WT operation. I once saw Publishing Cult compare it to Amway in that the WT's biggest consumers are its members - so an important part of the operation is to get more members. I would like to see this Amway comparison developed further. I guess you could say any religion recruits members & eventually asks them to donate. However, I think there is something different about a group that expects the members continue to consume a steady stream of its own literature. Something about having a tangible product in your hand makes you feel like you should give some monetary compensation, even if the expectation is not overtly printed on the product.
