@shepherdless- dont mistake my 1.6 greenback remark for my assessment of their bank account. I agree with your perspective and have said exactly the same thing dozens.... and dozens... of times. We dont know anything in detail. You also left out the fact that they could be hiding money in different corporations or 1000’s of other ways... but the point is, as far as my post a few moments ago, is that slim is willing to say in the same breath “they have 1.6 BILLION dollars and they broke and have collapsed”. Its incongruous and, as per the norm, im trying to help slim be logical and think about what hes saying. It dosent seem to work , but thats my windmill.

by Diogenesister inin the montana sex abuse court case for the first time watchtower has been required by the courts to give a financial statement to the court to assess awards of punitive damages for negligence and (for the first time)malice in non compliance of mandatory reporting laws.. watchtower corp of new york has finances in excess of $2 billion while cc of jw is worth $49 million.
this doesn't include the pensylvania corp or what overseas branches may have.. pretty healthy bank balance by any standards..

Simon,
I willl try to describe this accurately and will provde more detail if its helpful, but recently the forum has been giving me a popup on my phone. I have cleared the cashe, cookies and saved websites bit it still happens fairly often, at least once every 3 threads i click on. I will post a ss of the popup.
The reason i wonder if it may be a script of some sort on the forum is because it only happens here. No other website or forum i visit pops this up. If its something on my phone i will attack it that way, just inquiring of anyone else is having this issue with IOS based browers?

JW's Would Stay With The Org Even If 1914 Was Dropped
by pale.emperor ini asked the question on quora: .
if the governing body abandoned the 1914 teaching, would you leave jehovah's witnesses or you would remain a member regardless?.

Lets review: its a cult

Any word yet on the Annual Meeting?

Not only is it a stero type its outdated. My 90 year old great uncle uses his computer everyday. My father (same age as gb members) is a huge techno guy. Thats not the issue for the gb... the problem is they live a huge bubble. They are insulated from society, quite literally. What they know of social norms and societal trends come up to them from the co’s who get a lot of it from the rank and file. They are txt book dwellers in ivory towers. Bethel is just like that and they are the top of the bethel food chain.

Maybe the video feeds to all the halls didn't bring in as many donations as wanted.
And THAT is probably a big factor

Maybe there is some sort of crisis going on at the headquarters and things are falling apart quicker than we expected.
Rotflmao!!!! Slim, you remain a treasure. Never ever change :)
its nothing. Some may have gotten accustomed to fanfare and broadcast of the annual meeting but it really hasnt happened much. This the norm. Nothing to see here.

How many here think Trump's news conference this evening was absolutely brilliant
by ShirleyW ini'm being serious, i would like to hear from folks here that support him describe to me how that news conference was absolute brilliance, he answered all the questions, he knows what he is talking about.
just want to compare note with those who aren't his supporters (and have common sense) as you know this forum is here to hear both sides, so, have at it .

The people who think he is a genius are very similar to the people who will believe anything the watch tower says.

Dirt Fishing - Latest Coin Finds
by cofty init's that time of year again when i can get back on the fields with the metal detector looking for ancient stuff.
the first field to be harvested was full of peas - ideal as it leaves no stubble and it's a two minute walk from my house.
it has given up two coins in two visits this week.. the first one is a cut-half silver penny from the reign of henry ii.
