this is what "undue influence" looks like.
it's how you train someone to abandon their children, become a martyr, and drink the kool-aid.

The irony about "the Assyrian"
Assyria’s mighty army was maneuvered by Jehovah and used by him as a symbolic “rod” to execute judgment on apostate Samaria, as described at Isaiah 10:5, 6: “Aha, the Assyrian, the rod for my anger, and the stick that is in their hand for my denunciation! Against an apostate nation I shall send him,

look at all the lawsuits, scandals, unsuccessful cover up, contribution shrinkage, stopped building project, and much more.
these guys are steering jehovah's chariot off a cliff if someone don't put the breaks on these delusional clowns.. so what do you think is there something a foot there at chemical dump clean up site warwick?
i bet you a coup is in the offing, because you know not everyone close to the governing body believes their bull shit but are playing along until the time is right to keep the wt ship from sinking like the titanic..
The GB themselves have little to no direct control over anything.

Financial Review:
Watch Tower and Tract Society of Canada is a Major 100 charity with $79.7m in donations in F2015. Its administrative costs are 3% of revenues, and the charity does not report any fundraising costs. For every dollar donated, 97 cents go towards the charities programs, falling outside of Ci’s reasonable range. Before its $27m in bank loans, the charity has $19.8m in gross funding reserves
Current (and year-over-year) Canada financials are here:

geoff jackson speaking at a france dedication:.
then he said (i'm quoting him best i can remember, but you'll get the idea): "imagine if next week i go back to us and you see in the news that the whole gb was arrested for no reason.
how'd you react?
Geoff Jackson speaking at a France dedication:
Then he said (I'm quoting him best I can remember, but you'll get the idea): "Imagine if next week I go back to US and you see in the news that the whole GB was arrested for no reason. How'd you react? Well, surely you'd say to your coworkers or neighbours: "Jesus warned us. They were arrested for no reason." You would feel bad for us but be proud because you are sure it's persecution from Satan and that we're innocent.
So imagine they would make up false accusations, with false witnesses and false testimonies and all the newspaper would talk about how the GB was arrested for stealing billions of $$ to their followers. How would you react when coworker talk about it? Be ashamed? Would you believe it? Well Satan will attack us using lies. Lying about our high morality.
Maybe they will accuse us of covering child sexual abuser. Would you believe it? Surely we know those lies come from Satan."

I would bet that their growth in underdeveloped / developing countries costs them money.

If the average price of each property is $500,000
"Many of them smaller properties of limited value" as well as "global"
Very unlikely that the average price is anywhere near $500,000
16 years ago dateline's report on jw's and child abuse was aired may 28, 2002, a tuesday night and tonight a&e aired on may 29, 2018, tuesday night!.
i can't help but think how barbara has tirelessly worked to expose the child abuse issue within the watchtower/jw.org and is still working to not only expose the problem but to help change the laws in the usa to help protect children.
she has a wealth of information gathered for over 20 years on how the governing body protects the pedophile and not help the victims .
On May 18, Barbara Anderson, an ex-Witness-turned-whistleblower who worked for a decade at the religion’s onetime headquarters in Brooklyn, filed a complaint with the New York State Attorney General’s Office that accused top Witness officials of “covering up criminal activities committed by up to 775” pedophiles who lurked within the organization.
Anderson, 77, spent much of the last year compiling the 113-page complaint, leveraging a trove of internal records and memos that she amassed while she worked in the 1980s and ’90s for the Witnesses’ leadership, the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York.

Watch Tower Britain recently reported that the total amount of its cash was at an all-time high of £100 million as of 31 August 2017. Shall we conclude that the financial situation of JW organization in UK is extremely good?
That's a lot of cash.
Is there a year-over-year posted somewhere?
my father died a couple of months ago.
he'd been ill for some time and had many health scares and heart troubles over the years but always managed to keep on going.
then one time he didn't.. i'm glad i got to know him again and spend some more time with him after so many years missed because of the wts but those years will always be lost forever.
I stumbled on this thread just after stumbling on a DC advertorial article from 2015 with the appeal to improving family life:
https://www.sudbury.com/local-news/jehovahs-to-gather-downtown-for-imitate-jesus-convention-256000
The annual three-day convention for Jehovah's Witnesses takes place at the Sudbury Arena starting this Friday.
The religious group will discuss “the keys to family happiness” during their 2015 “Imitate Jesus!” Convention.
“The Witnesses’ three-day convention series will demonstrate how Jesus’ example can give parents and children the tools to build stronger and more united families,” a press release said.
“The program will also include a stimulating examination of Jesus’ famed Sermon on the Mount. Wayne Holroyd, a spokesman for the convention program, explains: 'Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount offers timeless advice that can help parents to better use their time and resources to build a more secure and loving family environment.'”
This organization is truly criminal.
