Dissenters in Watchtower History: Differing Departures
by slimboyfat ini'm reading an excellent book about defectors from the mormon church called differing visions: dissenters in mormon history.
through a collection of essays from many academic authors it looks at the life stories of dissenters and reasons for departure, as well as analysing the impact of their dissent on the church itself.
fascinating stuff and makes me wish there was a similar volume looking at the key dissenters from jws/watchtower and the impact they had.

WT Society SEC Records : Hedge Funds, Cayman Islands, Financial Losses - Links
by flipper inso my wife and i were curious so i researched some financial links and found records indicating that the wt society has been operating at a loss since the year 2012. as you read the links it shows a loss of 10 million $$$ in 2012, about 16 million $$$ in 2013, and a whopping loss of 56 million $$$ in 2014 - where the expenditures exceeded the revenues for each of those years in the amount i've mentioned.
also there is a link on this same website with the sec records indicating that the wt society and it's representatives funneled 40 million $$$$ into hedge funds in the cayman islands as early as 2007. if you look online on other sites you can see evidence that indicates the wt society attended hedge fund conferences to look into more shadiness in 2011 and isn't it curious that by 2012 the wt society started showing losses.

‘We’ve Got to Be Close to the Bottom’ on Energy: Cushing Founder“So much has happened since the end of June and in July — it’s been one of the worst, most volatile months I’ve seen in some time,” said Jerry Swank, managing partner, founder and portfolio manager of Cushing, on its second-quarter call with investors Tuesday.
Crude oil fell 44% in the 12 months ending June 30, while natural gas prices dropped 37%.
This means that the valuations of many master limited partnerships have crashed as well, giving investors a chance to move into the sector.
“This is the most negative sentiment I’ve felt for a long time,” said Swank, who has followed the energy business for 41 years.
Gaining knowledge of the energy industry is a significant step in understanding how to invest in and profit from it.
“Everyone has thrown in the towel. Everyone is so negative, we’ve got to be close to the bottom” of the energy price decline, he added. -

The Cushing MLP Opportunity Fund I, LP
The Cushing MLP Opportunity Fund I, L.P. is a long/short equity fund investing in public and private energy and energy infrastructure-related securities. Investments will primarily include publicly traded Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) and their affiliates, including general partner (GP) entities of MLPs. The Fund seeks to invest in midstream MLPs as well as MLPs involved in other segments of the natural resources sector such as propane, coal, and shipping.
Because MLPs operate as partnerships (as opposed to corporations), they pass tax benefits through to their investors. The majority of the distribution is treated as "return of capital", thereby providing potential tax advantages for investors.

S&P cuts TPF II LC rating to 'B-' from 'B+'
May 3 - Overview
-- U.S. electricity generator TPF II LC LLC's cash flow from operations
may be insufficient to cover debt service beginning in the second half of
2012, given current weak merchant markets and the drop in PJM capacity prices
that begins in June.
-- In the project management's base-case assumptions, the project will
draw on the debt service reserve in the second half of the year.
-- As capacity prices are fixed and will continue to be low in 2013, our
projections suggest that the project will exhaust cash on hand and need to tap
its debt service reserve to cover mandatory debt service.
-- We are lowering our rating on the project to 'B-' from 'B+'.
-- The negative outlook reflects our view that absent equity cures or
other measures the project will likely experience a covenant default in the
first half of 2013.
Rating Action
On May 3, 2012, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its rating on TPF
II LC LLC's $205 million in first-lien facilities to 'B-' from 'B+'. The
facilities consist of a $165 million seven-year senior secured term loan
($74.5 million outstanding as of Dec. 31, 2011) and a $40 million revolving
facility, both of which mature in 2014. The recovery rating on the secured
facilities is '1', indicating our expectation of very high (90% to 100%)
recovery of principal in the event of default. The rating outlook is negative. -

JP Morgan Alternative Property Fund Domestic I, LP
“An open-end enhanced real estate fund investing in alternative property types such as hospitality, for-sale housing, and non-income producing investments in development and redevelopment.”
“A $600mm real estate fund focused on non core property types including student housing, assisted living, self storage, and hospitality.”
Zamansky & Associates LLC Investigates JPMorgan’s Alternative Property Fund
New York, New York (PRWEB) March 03, 2013
Zamansky & Associates LLC is investigating sales of JPMorgan’s Alternative Property Fund, Greater China Fund, Fleming European Property Fund and U.S. Real Estate Income & Growth Fund hedge funds (the “Funds”). The investigation focuses on whether these Funds were suitable for, and the risks properly disclosed to, investors by the financial advisors who sold them.
On August 9, 2012, a lawsuit was filed against J.P. Morgan Securities LLC by an investor in these Funds. The case is Esrisk Investments LP v. J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Docket No. 652764/2012, Supreme Court, State of New York. The lawsuit details numerous alleged misrepresentations made by J.P. Morgan in the sales of the Funds.
Zamansky & Associates LLC is investigating the sales of these Funds to other investors. According to Jake Zamansky, “the Funds, like most hedge funds, are speculative and high risk investments that are not suitable and appropriate for conservative investors or retirees.” The Funds are also not suitable or appropriate for most retail investors who are inexperienced or unsophisticated, and cannot truly appreciate the risks, Zamansky believes. -
