i realize that wt has got a wind fall of cash through various means.

so my question is in the greater scheme of things is it really that much.

for example let's say with all their real estate and cash on hand they are worth about $20 billion dollars.

Indulgences!!
Of course!!
Passes through Armageddon
Issued by the GB
Then traded amongst the brethren
Hey it worked in Europe for hundreds of years
Before some cranky up start in Germany made a big fuss,

Hi,
You should go back (joke) and give them a free copy of the "The Selfish
Gene" or something similar,
Wouldn't it be cool if they read it!
But I agree completely, that you don't have to have the mysteries of the
universe sewn up in order to recognize what is clearly wrong

Stan,
What you are describing would be the old school way of doing things,
Handing interest over to the local congregation
I can't imagine why this would change

How do JW's determine a person is anointed?
by thinker11 in

i've always wondered about this.

when a person believes they made a spiritual connection with god and proclaims themselves as anointed, how do they determine whether this person is anointed or not.

does a group of elders look at the person's spiritual resume and check off the person's pioneer stats, bible knowledge, attendance, work ethic, personality, etc and then believe in the person if they have a good track record?

The brothers would say one of the prayers on Memorial night
(It was for obvious reasons considered their night)
They would generally be considered more spiritually in tune
And therfore what they said would carry slightly more weight than the
rank and file

I'm trying to understand some things
The book I referred to is God's Kingdom Rules
A book currently being studied in the congregations?
It shows Russell saying that if they ever have to appeal to men for money
that would indicate that the God of the universe who easily can provide,
isn't doing so, and that would mean that they should stop publishing,
Now Lett's on my TV clearly soliciting funds,
What am I missing here
I just don't understand
It's like everyone is under a spell,
May you have the peace (the spell of) Landru (Star Trek reference)
Well I might be an Evil Apostate
At least I'm not trying to bilk the poor of their money
Hey! I wonder if they know Jim and Tammie Bakker

God's Kingdom Rules
Chapter 18
Para 7
Quotes Russell as saying "they will never petition men for support"
And paraphrasing 'when the Almighty stops providing they WILL SHUT DOWN'
They've been quoting Russell's statements here for over 50 years since I was a child!
I looked at Lett's 2015 webcast
Thanks slimboy
