I probably wouldn't hire that company... but if I saw that truck driving down the street.... I would be talking about it for days. There are probably people who would hire him just for is sense of humor.

a friend of mind went to elder school recently and i convoy the following for him: .
the co asked him previously if he could assist with a demonstration showing the superiority of wtbts education to university education.
my friend holds a few masters' degrees and will be starting a phd program soon so the co thought he would be an excellent candidate to demonstrate the superiority of wtbts education, but there was a little problem my friend he said no.
I actually went to college 1969-1970...with my dad's encouragement. (he was an elder who believed in education....1 in a million) No one dared challenge him in the congregation.... I was an idiot and quit to get married.... I never partied in college. I lived at home.... had a 3.8 gpa. I did learn the art of critical thinking while there...it just took a very long time for it to kick in.

a 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.
Bumping this to the top

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.

many 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.

Heehee... I said hug trade show.... I meant huge trade show... a hug trade show sounds like more fun!

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.
