Blood Cards on File with the Elders?
by EyesOpenHeartBroken ini have a question for elders here or recent elders.
were the elders, in the last 10 years, given instruction to keep a copy of every publishers blood card on file at the kh?.
we moved to our current cong 6 years ago, and shortly after we moved in, the boe requested everyone update and give a copy of card to the kh.

There has been a recent effort to keep the blood cards on file. At our hall each service group coordinator is responsible for collecting those of his group. I am fairly sure that there was a letter more recent than that KM regarding this but I have no idea when it was. -

How much is a Billion bucks to the Borg
by Ignoranceisbliss inin recent news articles it's been suggested that properties currently up for sale in brooklyn will fetch around $1,000,000,000.
just how significant is this kind of money to the wtbts?
my estimation is that would be the equivalent to 3 years worth of donations from every us witness.

Good point Jeff. Can a non profit legally invest like this? I'm not sure what the laws allow for. -

My estimation is that would be the equivalent to 3 years worth of donations from every US witness. That's figuring on each pub donating $27/month to the organization. (This seems about right not counting what they donate to the local hall). This is a ton of money. It could pay 1000 molestation cases at 1 million a piece. -

The Pain of Coming to a Decision
by daniel-p init's been at least a couple years since i've posted anything on here, and much longer than that since when i was active.
ten years ago i first came here all in turmoil over my disillusionment of my beliefs.
i've been through lots of ups and downs since then.

I can feel your pain my brother. I also have two kids under 5 and soon enough we will be a divided household. One thing I have come to appreciate is that there is no concrete right decision to make. We make a decision and then try to make the best of that situation. I wish you and tour family the best. -
