TheOnlyRealWittnessHere, "With all the negativity here I was wondering if I am the only one here that's a witness."
I think that there are others. I believe that SimonSays is one.

Conventions, Kingdom Halls, Relief Funds, and Other Financial Scams and Schemes of Jehovah’s Witnesses
by Watchtower-Free ina few seconds ago this hit the net todayhttp://jwvictims.org/conventions-kingdom-halls-relief-funds-and-other-financial-scams-and-schemes-of-jehovahs-witnesses/.
conventions, kingdom halls, relief funds, and other financial scams and schemes of jehovahs witnesses.
jehovahs witnesses often note that at their meetings (like church services), they dont pass a collection plate.

SimonSays,
"...it turns out the WT is no different from any other Religion when it comes to corporate money. Catholics, Protestants, Baptist, Mormons, Scientologist, etc. Well except the Evangelist like Joel Osteen that will tell you outright to give them the money for personal use. I wonder how transparent those other religions are with their finances. Could you research those as well?"
Why should he research another religion when, as you said, they're the same as 'Babylon'.

What do you think? Should chimpanzees be granted 'personhood'?
by fulltimestudent inthere's a current court case in ny which is hearing that question right now.
the precise issue is the continued captivity of two chimpanzees, (leo and hercules, names bestowed by humans) in a medical research laboratory at stony brook university.. i suggest that the application has some merit.
are not all of us "animals?

LoveUniHateExams, "Should Frodo be prosecuted for murder?"
Chimpanzees, male and sometimes female are known for this behavior. I read Jane Goodall's book In The Shadow of Man where she says that she kept her child inside a cage to prevent Chimpanzees from harming him. She described the anger of a chimp when he couldn't get through the cage.
The bottom line is that the chimp who did this should be killed.
By the way, I did not say that chimps should be regarded as persons, simply that it is not a question with any clear cut answer and I offered examples of other Homonin species that would probably be problematic in being referred to as a person. Their character would have to be taken into account if they would happen to be close to humans in captivity or otherwise.

Anti-JW billboard going up in Texas
by sunny23 inthe first ever billboard has been crowd funded on reddit and will be going up.
i'm curious to know if it will cause a spark in any jw's who already have questions or doubts and lead them to research into the child abuse cases and lead them to the thought that the wt and gb are not inspired or gods mouthpiece.
at the very least it will provide people a topic of conversation and questions to the jw's who knock on their door: "so whats this whole sex abuse in kingdom halls thing about i saw on the billboard down the road?

sunny23, You might want to link directly with:
http://jwfacts.com/watchtower/paedophilia.php
or:
http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/leaders-jehovahs-witnesses-cover-child-sex-abuse/
The reason being that, in a few days or weeks, the home page would have accumulated a lot of other entries on different subjects and whoever is interested might not see it.

sd-7, "That's the quickest way to end up in front of three elders."
sd, the rationale that the Watchtower uses is that you're running ahead of Jehovah. I remember hearing day at a meeting the following:
"But even if the organization is wrong how dare you correct it. You're running ahead of Jehovah."
I have also heard the example of an Old Testament scripture where someone saw that the ark of the covenant which was being transported was in danger of falling into the ground. An individual saw it and when he went to prevent it's fall he was stricken dead by God. That of course applied to anyone who might be correcting the organization with good intentions.
