Yep i remember a couple of people getting robbed by fellow bethelites. Damn shame to be robbed not only by so called brothers but also by people who understood exactly what they were doing, someone in the same position as you.

Good question smiddy and theres lots of angles... one i like to explore is why the nwt added back the name of their desert god.... if he is all powerful and able to protect his word through 1000’s years then why was his name ever gone? Why is there a need for textual comparisons and revisions over time if his word was protected? Wouldnt we have good copies throughout the centuries?

REVEALED: The number of Bethelites over the years
by darkspilver inin response to this thread.
i've put forward the argument that i believe that the 'organization' is financially effectively bleeding itself dry - it is actually financially imploding.. i believe that over the last 45 or so years, in particular, it has evolved from a relatively 'lean machine' into what is now a huge unwieldy organization.
as an organization grows i would expect increased efficiency through by both economies of scale, and advances in technology.. how has the watchtower organization fared?....

Gotta say dark this is an interesting and i like using the bumber of bethelites to pub ratio. Im thinking thats a true reflection as opposed to raw number of hq staff. I find it curious indeed that they expanded so much given the trend toward automation but clearly someone clued them in since the number is shrinking. Another factor in this would be the staff held for construction in warwick. They may have been counted for a time even though the powers that be knew they would be cut once construction was done.

The branch is so loving to have expressed prayers for her family and arranged a special meeting for all 135 engaged in the public witnessing work! Cant have that shit slowing down because someone was murdered... also have to explain to them that their petty ass god dosent actually have the power to protect his people individually only as a group :/

And this is no surprise as i have said it before , but i agree that the confrontational anti proselytizing never works. Even when newbies show up here its a bad tactic, imho. Reason is the only way to go if we are to have any chance at success.

Chapter 28 Part B New Boy 50 years a Watchtower slave
by new boy inback in the nineteen seventies hundreds of cars were stolen, in the city every day!
the new york post said "the average life span of a corvette stingray (sports car) parked on the street in new york was only 24 hours!".
one time driving back from rhode island at 2:00 a.m. i took a wrong turn in the south bronx’s.

And let me add that i was taking notes... ive done my share of reverse proselytizing and wanted to compare tactics. I like the angle of separating the cultiest from the source of authority. That was for me the final straw, realizing the “circle of delusion” that kept me was exactly the same as a muslium or hindu etc etc

Will hurricane Harvey infuse the WTBT$ with more money? Or cost them more money?
by exjwlemming inin the past, i have known many brothers that had trekked down to the southern us to perform relief work on behalf of the wtbt$.
they return as heros.
they shared the repairing and rebuilding of kh and the property of fellow believers.

What magnum said x2. It wont cost them a dime. They will profit on the generous spirit of dubbies who want to help those effected by the storm

Faces on TV Broadcasting
by TheFadingAlbatros ini agree that being photogenic is not given to every ordinary mortal.
.
but when at the beginning of every new month i am confronted with the various faces of those males showing off as a priority on tv-jw (see jw broadcating september 2017), i am asking myself if i honestly am faced with normal people, or with people who went mental already since ages ago.. is it maybe due to the fact that the majority of them already do not feel anymore like belonging to ordinary mortals ?
