Some large businesses may choose to self-insure to save money and control costs for their commercial property, auto and general liability coverages. When a business chooses this route, they don’t buy a plan from an insurance company. Instead they set aside money and use it to pay for their general liability, commercial auto and property damage claims.

13Kingdom Hall Insurance
by NotFormer inthat the wt "self insures" kingdom halls has come up in occasional conversations on here.
how exactly does that work?
do they* actually set aside a portion of the monthly remittance from each kingdom hall and save into a pool to cover damage etc.

40 Years Ago Today: May 15th 1984 "1914 Generation" issue was released. False prophecy, thy name is WatchTower.
by WingCommander init's incredible how this cover, and also this "series" of watchtower's is burned into my mind.
i was almost 5 years old when these were released.
“1914 and you” — may 1, 1984 watchtower.

The WTS has an interesting way to say they are prophesying but not prophets: 1961 "The use of prophesying or the preaching of the good news with understanding and teaching others would result in benefits to those in the congregation and even unbelievers; or ordinary people who might come along could be instructed and come to learn how to worship Jehovah God." Prophesying = preaching (the prophecies written in the bible). But the WTS goes on to try to interpret by using phrases, "the bible does not say, but" and then proceeds to interpret it. (Not supporting WTS viewpoint, just reporting)

Constant Pleas For Money
by NotFormer init comes up from time to time: that the wt's "constant pleas for money" signifies their precarious financial state due to the pressure of the csa settlements.
is there any way of demonstrating that to be a fact?
i ask because i've always been under the impression that "constant pleas for money" is the default state of the organisation, possibly going back to rutherford's time.

When my husband was a ministerial servant, he was told to be sure to read from the platform the letters from the WTS thanking the congregation for their donations; it was a backdoor way of encouraging them to give donations so it would seem like the WTS was not nagging them to contribute...serioiusly

by was a new boy in'many survivors of clergy sexual abuse have never received an apology or any acknowledgement of the harm they suffered.
but at the may 3, 2024, meeting of the general conference of the worldwide united methodist church in charlotte, north carolina, the following resolution of apology to all survivors and their families was approved.. .
“the united methodist church apologizes for the times we allowed our desire to protect the church to outweigh our desire to care for victims and survivors of sexual misconduct.

The WTS looks at things very legalistically, "Pharisees" the lawyers per the WTS, 3 fingers pointing back at them. Since the WTS is fighting to establish the premise that they, the WTS, have no responsibility in their policy (behind the scenes they think) of hiding child sexual abuse (or any kind of child abuse) It's Deny, deny, deny. If the WTS hangs out the victims telling them and their parents, they should be willing to take the pain rather than make the WTS look bad to outsiders.

The snake of Genesis 3:1
by Halcon inwe've got some really knowledgeable members on here so i have a question for them and everybody.
what was the earliest adjective used to describe the snake of genesis 3:1?
currently one can read words in english translations like 'cunning' and 'crafty'....but in other languages you see words like 'wise' and astute...which convey a completely different idea.. i'm wondering what may have been the earliest and most accurate adjective known or used.

Rattigan350,, good point, no Mosaic Law then, no need for 2 so-called perfect people. My husband always wondered why a perfect person would talk to a snake, ignorant it must be something else.
