UnshackleTheChains......thanks for respecting my opinion. Mike and Kim are creating a false narrative in their assumption that the 'boys in Pennsylvania' are some sort of 'power brokers' or money men behind the Governing Body. The reason that the Pennsylvania Corporation contacted YouTube is because most, if not all, of the Jehovah's Witnesses intellectual property is registered to Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania. You can confirm this yourself by logging on to JW.ORG and scrolling down to the bottom of the page. As for the Governing Body having a separate lunch with some of the members of the corporation, Mike and Kim are grasping at straws. There is preferential treatment in Jehovah's organization for long time members with positions. Sorry to be so blunt, but Mike and Kim trade in sensationalism! I know................I watch them myself sometimes! They are a real 'hoot' as long as you take what they say with a 'grain of salt'.

Oh dear.....it looks like a few feathers have been ruffled!!!!
Actually, I could give a rats ass what you want to believe. But spreading foolishness like this post only does a disservice to the ex-JW community. It validates current Jehovah's Witnesses beliefs that most so called 'apostates' are INDEED spreading lies and false information about their former religion.

Thank you, thank you, thank you............Fulano for shedding light on the foolishness that seems to get worse by the day. It's getting harder to carry on an intelligent discussion on this forum. But it does make for good entertainment!

How/when did you become a jehovas witness?
by Lewis1998 inso i've been a protestant for most of my life, it's how i was raised, but recently i started questioning my faith more and more and now i feel like my beliefs resemble that of a jehovas witness rather than a protestant.
i don't know any jehovas witnesses, so i was just wondering how a lot of you found the religion and adapted to it?.

"My brainwashed mother made a death threat to me by telling me that the generation that saw 1914 was getting old and if I didn't get baptized soon Jehovah god would have no choice but to execute me at Armageddon which was imminent." - hoser
Ha ha ha.........................my mother gave me the death threat in 1970. I was baptized soon thereafter. She had her own personal Armageddon when she died in 2000 never seeing a 'paradise earth'. Thank you, Jehovah for all the misery your organization has caused.

they have also recently begun to take cos back to bethel.. over the same channel i have already heard of the car fleet program and that the dos should be abolished.. has anyone else already heard of it?

Fall Guy......stop stating facts. It throws a 'wet blanket' on the 'doom and gloom naysayers' that will jump at any 'nonsensical' tidbit to prove the imminent demise of WATCHTOWER and Jehovah's Witnesses.

new boy, I have an interesting story to tell about Knorr's secretary. When I was at the Farm, I was chosen to take the secretary, Knorr's sister and a few of his minor relatives on tour. When we got to the kitchen, she asked to be let inside so she could have a private tour of the kitchen. I told her that I was sorry, but NY state health and hygiene laws prohibited allowing tours into the kitchen. Wrong move on my part! 'Do you know who you are taking on tour' ?asked Knorr's secretary. I informed him that I knew exactly who he was and who Knorr's sister was, but that if I showed her special preference, I would be breaking the law and it would be unfair to the thousands of other witnesses that came on tour every year if I showed Sister Knorr special preference but would not let the average witness also enjoy a tour of the kitchen. Into the kitchen went the secretary and he came out with the kitchen overseer to give them a tour. The kitchen overseer acted like he was taking Jesus Christ himself into his 'humble kitchen'. I remained outside the doors in protest.

"Subscriptions didn't make a lot of money but they clearly weren't a loss. Because when the charge was dropped, subscriptions were dropped pretty quick too." - slimboyfat
That has absolutely NOTHING to do with the discussion at hand. If you can't charge a fee for the Watchtower magazine on the doorstep delivered by a WATCHTOWER drone, you can't charge a fee for a subscription delivered by the Postal Service. So of course they dropped subscriptions! (The only thing you could charge for would be a shipping and handling fee) It's just plain business sense. Actually, I wish that you would stick with your original premise and stop 'going around the barn' to defend the indefensible.
As a side note, I tried to show you that individual subscriptions consumed huge amounts of materials and labor compared to shipping magazines to local congregations. The 'gross profit margin' on an individual subscription would be much smaller than on a magazine hand delivered by a publisher. If you were never a Bethelite in Brooklyn or at Watchtower Farms I'm sure that this is hard for you to fathom.

"Newspapers were seen as profitable." - shepherdless
Newspapers made their money from advertising. Watchtower and Awake NEVER had the luxury of income from advertising.
