    DesiriusOfCHange - "I'm beginning to think that this is a REAL financial crisis vs the 'man-made' conceived crisis to explain their stockpiling of cash for investment."

    Personally, I don't think they were ever trying to concoct a convincing fake crisis.

    To do so successfully would require creativity, imagination, and above-average intelligence.

    From what we've heard, Jaracz used 9-11 to essentially purge the liberals and moderates (they tend to be those types) from WTHQ, and that hasn't changed since.

    LV101 - "...there's plenty of pedophile criminal JWs that have been committing crimes for yrs/decades and WT couldn't care less..."

    Personally, I don't think that they "couldn't care less" per se (child abuse is causing them nothing but trouble these days, after all)...

    ...it's more a case of having painted themselves into a corner as a result of policy and legal blunders, woefully fucktarded ideological constraints, and good old-fashioned pride.

    LV101 - "...Yes -- morphing into skeleton -- now that'd be good news..."

    Not unprecedented, either...

    ...sex abuse scandals - ultimately - devastated the Hare Krishnas.

    Technically, they still exist, but they're a pale, whispery shadow of their former selves.

    There was a congregation picnic held in Elmira, On yesterday. This is why they had to sell their hall which was told by a dumb elder.

    1) It was going to cost $45,000.00 to do their parking lot and the org felt it would be better to dump that money into a Kitchener hall parking lot instead. Elmira is out in the country outside of the big city of Kitchener-Waterloo.

    2) Ever since the deed had to be signed over to the org a few years ago they have no say on anything.

    3) Because there are only forty to sixty publishers going to the meetings out of a hundred publishers this makes more sense to consolidate.

    The guy said they will be burning at least forty dollars in gas a week to go to two meeting alone. That doesn't make sense. The elder told him they are expecting ones to car pool. He can say that since his drive along with all the elders in Elmira will only have a four minute drive into Waterloo. The road this woman and many other single sisters have to go on is treacherous in the winter. We know because we had to do it back then when we were in.

    The guy wanted so bad to say to the elder it's because of the lawsuits and pedos but his staunch jw wife would have divorced him for it. Now she is panicking so guess who will be made to drive these sisters to their meetings in Fergus? This poor guy who wants nothing to do with cult.

    Gosh, that sure seems to have made it more easy and streamlined for said Halls to be reno'd, sold, and have the $ go straight to the Org's coffers.

    Over and over and over.

    You'd almost be tempted to think the Org planned it that way.

    Sometimes the JWS/WTS looks like its imploding and that real estate transactions are the only thing the WTS has left to sustain itself.

    I wished he would have asked the elder do all the hall shut downs across Canada have problems with their parking lots and that's why they have to sell?

    There is a brother and his wife from Fergus hall who got hired on to do just parking lots here in Ontario. Wouldn't surprise me if they are doing this as a cover up. Her cousin's father is the one who hires and signs the cheques at the Bethel in Georgetown, Ontario bethel. And the two who he got in also had two sons that were booted out of bethel because they had posted pics on face book being drunk and nude. Once they were kicked out their parents made them stay in Orangeville, On and attend their meetings there until their bethel term was up. They didn't want anyone knowing from Fergus what had really happened. They only went there to do a certain job and I think they were to be there for no more than two years. They didn't last long there. A brother from maintenance told us what had happened and we knew the couple that had sent the pictures in. Amazing what elders will do to hide their screw ups.

    This elder at the Georgetown, On bethel had also hired on his nephew who also was an elder and reported on for heavy drinking. They used him to make all the halls signs and cabinetry for the insides while renovations were gong on. Before that he could barely make ends meet. Now retired way up north enjoying what he loves the most and that's fishing and hunting.

    The hall in Elmira should fetch at least a million dollars.

    You’re not broke until you’ve got nothing left to sell.

    What will watchtower do when they’ve sold off all the Kingdom Halls?

    What will watchtower do when they’ve sold off all the Kingdom Halls?

    a quick answer: they will start ordering the rank and file to sell their houses.

    I’ve actually thought about this as well. The brothers could transfer title to the org and rent their houses back.
