Maybe if only I was crooked and unscrupulous as hell I could duplicate their business model. Or at least develop a course and teach it.

Did you even read the story?
The man was far from suicidal.
He ran into the fixed bullshit of family law.
At its peak, his corporation "grossed" 186k - who knows the net. Regardless, that gross income plummeted due to technological change - the judge refused to ackowledge the change - he owes 6500 per month.
He then has a relationship with a lawyer - major mistake - his obligation increases to 8k per month. (He has paid 330k in legal costs.)
He cannot pay this impossible amount, so is jailed - his passport and drivers license are threatened.
Finally, his children are alienated from him.
I see no viable options for this poor soul.
(I have read with some amusement the trolls that bait this forum, receiving hundreds of incensed replies - but you, you have topped them all. I hope Karma repays you.)And just so people understand, his spousal support should be tax-deductible, but child support is not.
In order to SIMPLY pay 8k per month, this man needed to earn 133,280 per year. (https://salaryaftertax.com/ca ), an impossibility.

New teaching =There was no "Faithful slave" for 1900 years until Charles Russell!!
by Witness 007 inshocking video from jw.org shows the "new light" that there was no slave class handing out spiritual food for 1900 years!!
so the original governing body became apostate and fell apart.
charles russell re-started the faithful slave even though the watchtower admits he learned everything he ever knew from the "second adventists".

Hence, counting back from 537 BCE (the year the Bible says the Jews returned home) for a full seventy years, we arrive at the year 607 BCE.
(I seem to be missing that verse in my Bible)
Jehovah's Witnesses, on the other hand, believe something the secular historians do not. We believe the Bible is the inspired and inerrant word of God, so we take the Bible's prophecies into account when calculating ancient chronology.
Prophecies (future) are used to calculate ancient chronology (the past).
Say what?

Everything that i stated is correct you may not agree with my conclusion but that is what the law is. So are you saying that you feel that teenagers should be arrested and prosecuted for child pornography?It is the f'ing law, moron.
http://globalnews.ca/news/2393868/alberta-teens-sharing-intimate-images-of-under-age-girls-could-face-charges/
Every time your perv elders look at these images to decide another perv JW's degree of guilt, those elders are also committing a criminal offense.
Rev 18:4, buddy.

I hope any Alberta WT victims sue the asses off of the elders in their JC and WT.
EDMONTON - Alberta is changing the rules to give victims of sexual and domestic violence more time to sue their abusers in civil court.
Justice Minister Kathleen Ganley introduced legislation Tuesday that will end the current two-year time limit on filing lawsuits to recover lost wages and other expenses, or for pain and suffering.
Instead, there will be no time limit on filing a lawsuit, and the legislation will be retroactive.
“The decision to come forward is extremely personal and can be very difficult,” Ganley said at a news conference at the Sexual Assault Centre of Edmonton before the introduction of Bill 2.
“Survivors of sexual and domestic violence should be empowered to come forward on their own terms.
“They should not be forced to come forward on the basis of a deadline imposed by the legal system.”
The new rules will apply to sexual assault and sexual misconduct, as well as assault on children, dependents and partners. Sexual misconduct includes stalking or sending inappropriate text messages or photos.
The former two-year limitation normally begins when the assault occurs.
Debra Tomlinson, chief executive of the Association of Alberta Sexual Assault Services, said the civil action will “help lift that veil of silence” on violence.
“It gives survivors the time they need to recover and heal from the effects of sexual assault trauma,” said Tomlinson.
The civil process is independent of the judicial one. In a civil case, a judge rules on the balance of probabilities rather than on guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
Ganley said Alberta is the first jurisdiction to exempt sexual misconduct lawsuits from the time limit. Changes to the time limit on sexual assault will bring Alberta in line with most of the rest of Canada, she added.
Mary Jane James, executive director of the Sexual Assault Centre of Edmonton, said civil action is a vital option given the high standard set in the criminal system.
“Because the burden of proof is so high in the criminal justice system, a very small fraction of (assault) survivors will ever see the inside of a courtroom,” said James.
“For survivors to be able to pursue a civil claim at a time when they are ready to do so and where the burden of proof is significantly less onerous is a change that is truly representative of a government that gets it.
“When survivors are believed, listened to and supported, they can reclaim the life they had before the assault, a life that they most definitely deserve to have again.”
