Lol well freemind my friend, the odds usually start at 20 pages, over/under. The OP isnt dogmatic though so that takes it down a little. The only hope for a long running battle is for some of the god people to show up and spout silliness prompting viv/coffy to battle back.

Talking with a young elder

and you and I totally agree on that ob, no question. Unfortunately I still have some inside that I care about and such a line of reasoning may prompt them to think just enough to see the obviousness of the truth...
The truth..?
That you are a slave.. Like everyone else in the organization, you were born into bondage. Into a prison that you cannot taste or see or touch. A prison for your mind.....
It only takes one chink in the armor. I like to have little things like that to take a chink out if possible

How bad do the JWs need to be doing financially

Interesting points..... Also consider the reason for filling chapter 7/11 is to protect assets and deal with creditors... Would that apply to the wt? What assets are up as collateral and what would need protection? Would there be hope for them to pay off debt? If not what would happen? A sell off?Link +1 / -0 -

Its an interesting question cognac.... If this were a normal company/corporation the answer would be "when it makes financial sense to do so"
the variable here is that they arnt just a corporation, they are a religious cult corporation. The extra 'god is on our side' aspect may drive them to do some otherwise foolish things... My answer though is ultimately: when it makes financial sense to do so. They will spin it the rank and file as a sign of the end type thing, play it up as "we gave it all up for the sake of the good news" blah blah blah.....
the really interesting thing is that it could happen! They were so stable fo so long its facinating to see it as a possibility

Hello everyone!
by Planetsmashers inive been lurking for a while and finally got around to registering.
about me: i was essentially born in & indoctrinated from youth.
i was always a borderline "bad association" type because i always did the minimum and always disagreed with much of what was taught; even when i was a child.. luckily for me my father was never a jw so i never had to endure the male head pressure.
