i just heard this within the last day.. i had no clue that the society had a travel agancy within its offices!.
anyhoo, in the area i live they called numerous hotels for deals for the convention and the gm whom i know through friends told me that they play hardball in getting the maximum commission possible for refering people.
he said the average is about 10 to 15 percent of the room cost.
They should just do a satelite feed to the K Halls, and charge admission. Would just have to do one Convention presentation in each major time zone/continent. They would have real control over the content too!
I'd gladly pay the entrance fee to avoid having to leave my home/bed and travel to some distant metropolis, go out to eat, fight traffic etc.
"you must be holy because jehovah is holy", the watchtower, february 15, 1976. page 124, "would not a failure to respond to direction from god through his organization really indicate a rejection of divine rulership?".
the above quoted watchtower article came the year after the failure of 1975 on every level.. not only was the worldwide publicity connected with 1975 totally embarassing to jehovah's name and organization it was the 2nd time the error.
had been made!
Great post Terry. I would love to just cut and paste those points into an email and send to my "active" friends. For some reason, the thought of doing that hurts....
Reminds me of when I was younger, and my brother and I would "fight". Neither one of us REALLY hit each other with any serious force. The thought of actually hurting each other kept us from that.
Throwing serious evidence/attacks like this at the "followers" just seems like giving them a real, full on, punch to the face.
I guess I'm not angry enough yet. Or, as some here would suggest....just a whimp.
