    First I get a group of gullible people and tell me that I am in possession of the only true religion. Then I print a whole bunch of books and magazines using free workers who are only too glad to have the "privilege" of working free for the "Lord" at my book printing headquarters and then I tell my local groups of gullible people that it is the will of God they buy all the books and magazines I print, not just one copy but mutiple copies. Of course, each person in their family has to have their own copy too, no sharing books. Even babies should have their own copy. Then I tell them that they have to go out do the Lord's work, which of course I back up with scripture, and that Lord's work is for them to go from door to door with the books and magazines they have purchased from me. If they don't "place" this literature or get contributions from the householder, its no skin off my teeth, because I've already got my money.

    Now I tell my people that their goal is to get as many people as they can from this door to door work to join them in this unique religion because then I will have new people to buy my books and magazines and (Oh, boy!) I am going to get rich. Because then those new people will start going from door to door and they will indoctrinate more new people and then those people will get still more new people, and I keep growing and growing....

    Of course, I have to give my people an incentive for doing all this free work. I know I'll tell them that they will get everlasting life in a Paradise New Earth. Yeah, that's the ticket. Everylasting life. And the more they go from door to door the better chance they will have to be i God's favor.

    And I keep on growing, I get richer and richer and those poor duped people don't know that what they are is salesmen.

    Oh, yes because I call this a religion, my groups have to make contributions too. Yes, as much as possible, because God's work has to go forward.

    I am going to make a killing!

    Said a while back in chat to someone, that the WTBTS is a MLM corporation, in the disguise of religion, with 6,000,000 free members of slave labour.

    You have to admit despite everything else the entrepreneurial edge they've maintained over a lot of other corporations that in business, have to pay their employee's. Takes the biscuit it does.

    Peace

    Who is getting the money??? Is there any way an individual can get his hands on any of it? I've never seen any evidence of this. If money is the motive who benefits from it? I just think they are blinded by their own power thrill!

    Several years ago, I was at an MLM (or also called network marketing) convention for the company I work with, and my roommate was a woman who was studying with JW's. I was still a dub then, so naturally I thought it was Jehovah's will that we got put in the same room. (lessened my guilt for going to the "worldly event") She told me when they came to her door, she thought it was so great that "here is a group network marketing their religion." I was offended by that comparison, but as the convention progressed, I had to admit the similarities were astounding!!

    A sidebar: It was at this convention, that I realized that all the things my husband had been telling me about the truth of the truth, were right on. My roommate quit studying too, and never became a dub. So good things came out of that week in Atlanta, in 1995.
