Clink 3rdgen. I have no qualms telling this guy I don't go, but it's been a surprise both times, and I'm at work in a very public area. I don't mind my co-workers hearing him go on about things, and his "god is good" comments because I have let everybody know how I was treated after I left. So they already have no respect for the WT, and crazy talk is just icing on the cake.

Gregor, I think he is just hanging on. But I think he is the type that would be lost without the rules and boundaries of the religion. You know, if he wasn't a dub he'd be one heartbeat away from extreme behavior. I know several of those types. They have told me going to meetings keeps them "off the pole" if you know what I mean. **sigh**

Mr. Orkin dropped in again today just to visit. Lucky me. I know that will stop when I tell him I don't attend meetings.

Anyway, in talking about the old congregation he told me that a big group left the hall, and that there only 70+ or so "publishers" (don't ya just love that word!) left. He said there were about 110 when he was there a year ago. And frankly, the count was was NEVER that low the whole 20 yrs I was at that hall. I know of about 8 of the elderly that have died, and people do move for different reasons...but it is truly "happifying" when a congregation shrinks...for whatever reason.

Marketing to distract attention from million dollar lawsuits for harboring pedophiles.

"Look! We LOVE children! Why else would we have cartoons?"

Arrogant liars.

Don't forget Anthony Morris. 😃 He's got some great comments in his head I'm sure he'd love to share with the world.

Lett, they could show excerpts of his brilliant video on how much they "LOVE" the children.

(wow, just noticed Iannelli isn't on the Writing Committee anymore.)

Yeah, the "Dalai Lama defense" was an interesting tack. I was expecting them to add they are a "volunteer" organization and cannot direct anybody to do anything. (Just realized I might use the "Volunteer" issue sometime. "I stopped voluneering.")

Some of the things the WT lawyers say are so incredulous! Especially to a judge and jury who are trying to seek the truth in a case to render a fair decision.

Thank you Barbara for those details.

At first I was thinking, why the heck did WT counsel respond this way to the court? They should get a new legal team.

Then I caught myself self and realized they are a perfect team.

Goes to show they have no respect for anybody or anything. Nobody is running to become a JW as it is, but this would be the icing on the cake for those involved with this case I would think. The next time a JW comes to their door...I think the householder may have a few things to say and it wouldn't be good.

That is funny.

I think the marketing firm convinced WBTS any publicity is good publicity if you want to get your name out there.

In the past, the WBTS corporation put a kabash on certain materials third parties were selling with their name and logo. Now it is the opposite. Nobody really cares about jw.org except those currently worshipping it. I think with today's techological tools available, this may explode and flood the miniscule JW market with...oven mitts, mousepads, clothing, bottle openers...so far there are no limits. I wonder how long before a BOE letter comes down putting an end to it and the necklace will be a collector's item.

She's wonderful. So much fun to see her take on things.

The article title we love to make fun of is "Your Servant the Pencil."
