  COVID-19 another example showing local publishers/congregations are on their own?

  my area is a large city spread across two u.s. states and multiple different cities and counties.

  the area of 2.5 million is covered by parts of 4-5 different circuits.

  many of those attending meetings are at-risk individuals with health problems or age related risk.

  The WT is a corporation first and foremost. It has put the corporations existence first for decades, as that is what you do as corporation...make decisions to keep in operation. Liability is the concern for all corporations at this time.

  I can't wait to see this. Thursday as I understand is JW day.

  I was advised by several people to listen to this podcast. I finally did this morning.

  I will listen to the scientists as to how bad this is, not to anybody's "hunches."

  I hope all of you and yours stay well.

  What Kramer said.

  I didn't watch past the section about Chase being able to take the property or such, but I knew where it was going. sigh

  The WT has astute money managers and is doing quite well. Getting a bank loan to create more operating expense as a cost of doing business and putting their cash in more lucrative areas is a savvy business move.

  For those of you who've watched the Witnesses documentary, let's suppose for a moment that...

  by My Name is of No Consequence in

  for those of you who've watched the witnesses documentary, let's suppose for a moment that the org was forced to make their database of abusers available to the courts.

  if this database is as detailed and meticulous as it is claimed, how in the world could the org (in its present form) survive that?

  assuming they don't go bankrupt after all of the new abuse claims, would they go underground, shut down the kingdom halls, stop the preaching?

  I don't think this will bring the WT down. It's a nuisance for them, and they have to keep figuring out how to hide money/documents, create more lawyers etc.

  I watched the new Cedars video on the Loesch's talk at the annual meeting. I thought it was interesting, the KH grabs internationally. Hey, it worked great here in the USA. And in other areas building the generic KH's that can easily be sold when needed. All of a sudden they need more KH's! I too think it's a way to generate income by investing in real estate. Unlimited funds to invest under the guise of providing places of worship and then when the time is right, they are sold.

  This child abuse issue is like thousands of stinging mosquito bites on mother. It's wonderful to watch the continued attack on the WT. Their arrogance in refusing to change their procedure, the "we will never change the two witness rule" stance...never say never buddy! The way they absolutely vilify victims, and protect the pedo, is only to protect the corporation. It is so disgusting to me.

  I really hate this organization.

  I think this was really well done and looking forward to the next episode. Well directed and edited.

  I am still amazed at the support of the perps by this organization, and the total vilifying of the victims, children...unbelievable.

  That one victim's elder father is a special kind of evil monster.

  since disassociating in october 2008, i've had little to no direct contact with the jws, apart from immediate family members (ie my parents).

  i've lived in my rented flat since may 2014 and haven't had a knock on the door in that whole time.

  until saturday morning.

  Hi password! Well done.

  I too agree, if at all possible, to engage as you have done just to leave a thought they might not be able to get out of their minds.

  Would You Ever Go Back To The Witnesses??

  2. friends

  every once in a while you hear people say they actually “miss” their old witness friends and or family.

  some would have even stayed in the organization if they became a bit more liberal and open minded.
