It's 110% impossible to deny now: Video evidence of the Chile flags
by ILoveTTATT2 inhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0auklk0uq8&feature=youtu.be.
this video leaves no doubt whatsoever.
the person who took the video got really close and the video clearly shows that the flag is behind the glass and behind the bars protecting the kingdom hall.

A simple explanation for the financial changes
by JeffT inas i've mentioned from time to time, i'm a retired accountant.
i have tried many times to come up with some logical, sound business reason why the wtbs has made the big changes in its financial arrangements: taking the congregations savings, the monthly donations per congregation etc.
i finally came up with the answer.. the leadership of the watchtower society is batshit crazy.

The GB does not handle WT finances as NHK did. It is delegated to clever cookies, very qualified to administer WT money. The WT knows what it is doing. -

Whey should their handling of money be any different?
They've been around for over 100 years.

Latest rumor - all WT construction "suspended", except for Warwick
by sir82 inheard 4th-hand, but from a full-on believer, so not likely to be an "apostate lie":.
apparently, at bethel's morning worship this morning, it was announced that all worldwide wts construction is "suspended" for an indefinite time, except for the new world headquarters at warwick.. also, the "relocation" of remote translating teams is also suspended.. finally, there will be a "worldwide" reduction in bethel personnel.. all this came to me in a non-english language, and,as noted, 4th-hand.
so it is possible something may have been lost in translation and/or in the multiple steps between bethel morning worship & me.. but if true, it would be quite stunning.

Laymen meetings instead of ordained ministers are all.
there's essentially no difference between the two magazines now
Too many watchtowers. One is enough for all.

They are in the top 40 riches companies in the world.
You are right. And the work, and a lot of materials are donated, and besides that, tax exempted, and the money from the sale of the Brooklyn properties alone, and besides that, investments to generate more money. WT has the money to complete its projects. These projects are done very cheap. Even locally, there are always individual JWs with $$ that will finance KH building if necessary.
Squibb building was built on quicksand and it was sinking into the Hudson but volunteer engineers and workers got that major problem solved very cheap.
But the bigger the machine, the more energy it needs to work. Book publishing ain't what is used to be, -but "it ain't over until the fat lady sings."

Terry, great reviews on your book. Thanks for the links. In all fairness to you, I would have to read what you have to say to form an opinion about your position. I also saw that you authored another book that sounds mentally challenging.
Based on what was said in the reviews about what you wrote in your book, above mentioned, you were not compelled to go to the Army (Thank God ) because at the time, you were a JW; You automatically qualified for the exemption because you were JW , but you don't look at that, you only look at having to go to jail because you think that WT should have allowed you to choose alternate military service which was a provision offered at that time to those that qualified. But you do not have all of the facts that led WT to their position nor did you have the burden that JW leadership had at that time. Seems to you so clear to look back in 20/20 hindsight. Nevertheless, your courage and loyalty that you showed then still stands.
