    *** jv chap. 21 p. 340 How Is It All Financed? ***
    "As early as the second issue of the Watch Tower, in August 1879, Brother Russell stated: “‘Zion’s Watch Tower’ has, we believe, JEHOVAH for its backer, and while this is the case it will never beg nor petition men for support. When He who says: ‘All the gold and silver of the mountains are mine,’ fails to provide necessary funds, we will understand it to be time to suspend the publication.'”

    Thats the truth of the matter!.... WHERE IS JEHOVAH NOW!.

    Has Jehovah deserted this case?.

    He hasn't deserted, maisha. No god has ever supported Russel's or Rutherford's churches.

    EVIDENTLY, His funding must have been reduced by 50% at least, since the publication of the WT & Awake! has been reduced by 50%!

    (Only 1 Awake! issue per month. Awake! and Public WT now only 16 pages.)

    The Court ruled this morning that it would grant the WTBTS' request to allow oral testimony at the hearing on the WTBTS' motion. In California, oral testimony is not generally allowed at a motion hearing (i.e., all evidence considered is in writing, and it mainly consists of sworn affidavits/declarations from the parties or their counsel), so the WTBTS made a special request to allow oral testimony, and the Court granted the special request. Here is the relevant text of the ruling granting the WTBTS special request:

    "PARTIES ARE TO APPEAR. Defendants' request to present oral testimony at the hearing concerning the Patterson property is GRANTED. The court finds good cause for oral testimony not exceeding 15 minutes."

    The WTBTS filed its reply papers yesterday. As of this morning, they were not available to the public yet, but will likely be available some time today.

    yea that is weird. I wonder what the basis for requesting and allowing oral arguments at a motion hearing was

    Yeah, what is the advantage of an oral argument over written?

    Or do the WT attorneys think their "Theocratic Ministry School training" and the accompanying gestures, modulation, and sense stress will provide the extra "wow" factor?

    Funny stuff Sir82,

    I bet their strategy changed because repitition for emphasis is even more annoying in written form.

    See what I mean?
