This morning on my way to my office, I saw a sign in front of a church that really hit home.
"Unanswered questions are far less harmfull than unquestioned answers." Wish I had seen that when I was a dub.

Let's play a game - Follow the WTS $$ trail
by watch the tower ina huge question that i have in the back of my mind regarding the wts is where all of the money ends up.
no one really has a conclusive answer to that.
i think it would reveal a lot if we were able to find out.. i know there have been various threads in the past where it revealed a clue here and a clue there.

If the James McCabe info is correct, this could get very interesting. Rutherford used his expertise as a lawyer to gain control of the organization. It has been my opinion for years that the real power in the borg is controled by the attorneys. History may be repeating itself in a big way. The governing body members aren't wealthy...but at this point, they are not much more than a figurehead. Maybe if you follow the money...it leads to some very wealthy lawyers.... James McCabe seems to specialize in asset protection...he would know how to hide money. Hmmmm... I wish I had the time and resources to really follow the money and get some definitave answers. This thread is a great idea....like gathering the pieces of a puzzle....then starting to put the puzzle together.

What's The Most Scandalous Thing You've Seen Happen In A Congregation?
by minimus inmany years ago i remember suddenly how the bible study servant who was third in command got removed from his position, and was reproved for having a fling with his bible student who was much younger and very married too.
actually, her husband came in the hall while he was substuting as a watchtower conductor and i was reading and screamed all sorts of profanities to him all the while screaming that he was "f***king his wife"!
when the man told him, "i wanna talk to you", the elder said, "not now".

Eduardo,
Wife swapping among elders is not an urban myth... I personally know the jws involved in one case (in MA) back in the late '70s. They were reproved...and are still jws.. One is a pioneer.

Crumpet.... You are right. It was actually in April... I was in the same place, but it was for the Residential Build Boston Show that they have in the spring. This one was the Commercial one.... I got confused. They have 2 a year...and I get to do both. 3 days of a hug trade show.interspersed with seminars....fun but exhausting. My feet are glad it's over. The best part is they take us out to dinner after each night. Morton's on Tuesday (I had a $40.00 steak ) Sissero's on Wednesday, and Anthony's Pier 4 (a Boston landmark) last night. They treat us well.

Oops... pressed enter by mistake...anyway, it has been a year since I started a thread just like this one, and I'm back in the same place I was then. I'm sitting in the World Trade Center in Boston, looking out at Boston Harbor...waiting for the Build Boston show to start. I'm teaching a couple of seminars in a little while... just having coffee and relaxing... I'm the first one here from my company.
So....where are you?

Would You NOT Do Business With a JW Simply Because He's a JW?
by minimus inwould you discriminate against a person simply because he was a witness?

My dad, a well respected elder would not do business with jws. He had tried several times and each time was screwed over....and then there was no recourse because you can't take em to court... So, his policy became never to do business with them in the first place.
I was in business briefly with my now (x)SIL...wasn't the best..

LOL minimus... not ranting about you this time
Why Georgia... I don't participate in the grocery store card thing... Usually the cashier puts in a card for me and I get the discount anyway....at least 95% of the time.
This rant was because of Marshalls...but I've also had it happen at TJMAXX... and Frugal Fannie's. I don't mind giving my zip code...that's just demographics... what towns they should send fliers out to.... also they can plan where to put new stores. It's my personal info that I won't give out. Why bother to have an unlisted phone number...and then give it out to people who will use it for telemarketing purposes....sheesh!

What is the most unique name you've encountered?
by Why Georgia inthis question comes to mind right now because i seem to be surrounded by pregnant women.
3 of the mom's in my sons' kindergarten class of 12 - are pregnant and in the other classes i notice a similar trend.
it's not a large school - maybe 60 kids max between the preschool and kindergarten.
