i have received a reply from the society regarding this issue.
sorry, no scanner but quoted below .there was just an introduction and concluding paragraph in addition to this :-.
"after looking into the matter when it was first raised, we found that none of the legal corporations used by the governing body in caring for the kingdom interests own stock in rand cam corporation or any associate company involved in developing the diesel engine in question.
"The Watchtower Society was erroneously listed as stockholder".......oh really?....So I guess the S.E.C. who are held to the strictest regulations so much so that the lastest Director of that department had to step down for another scandal well covered on TV, just pulled WT's name out of a hat and just decided that they were stockholders of over 5 million shares! Wow, isn't that interesting! Covering their asses is all they know how to do.....but this isn't over, not by a long shot................rocky220
many on this site focus on the society's negative aspects.
it's as if many of you are afraid to mention anything positive just in case it might reveal that jehovah's witnesses are humans who keep trying, even after various human failings, to make a positive impact on this world.. don't you agree that it's fair to give them credit when due?
then read on.
This awards doesn't erase the lives lost due to a ridiculous Blood Doctrine....nor does it change that more will be lost in the future. So, sorry but, I'm not impressed...rocky220

they have been preparing everyone by way on tv and radio on the sexual abuse in the jw religion.
they had a small piece on the 6 o'clock news with a small interview with bill bowen.
It is said......"That which doesn't kill you, make you stronger"......All I can say is.....
(((((((((((Jesika is a force of nature!!))))))))))))rocky220
rev 18:4 warns us to "get out of her my people.......",
if we are/were his people, we would have got out of babylon the great before entering the ranks of jehovah's witnesses.
the question is - why is he saying my people, who are the " my people" that he is talking to and where are such ones to "get out from" ?
Strangely enough I remember [when I was a JW] practically every meeting hammered on in some way or another that any religion [not JW] was a part of Babylon the Great...and oh how elders at the KH loved to bash Catholics and the Vatican...blah blah blah. The irony is WBTS is no different! Thanks to the Internet, which I truly believe is turning out to be WT's nemesis, has exposed all kinds of contradictions, comparisons leading to assertion of WT's false profecies, War Technology investments, UN/ NGO involvement, Tax problems in France, and most of all the shabby way Bethelites and other sacrificed workers are treated, and that's the tip of the iceberg folks!!!!!!
Babylon the Great is as Babylon the Great does...Don't you think?????
rocky220 [of the sometime you just get to get down!, class]
something that has been alarming to my jw family is the amount of teens ("young ones") that have bailed out of the organisation, never to return.. they use the excuse, as would most jw's that "satan is getting them - he knows young ones are vulnerable.".
if you want my opinion, young people are getting far more educated - they are becoming far more broad minded than they were say 10 or 20 years ago.
because of the slow yet sturdy slackening of the "no college" rule, many more young jw's are attending university or college than ever before, and with further education comes more knowledge, more interaction with reasonable and intelligent conversations with educated people and most importantly -use of the internet ("satans latest tool, as put by a jw i talked to recently).
NotBlind is right.
[1] Why don't JW's have a youth group?
[2]Why don't JW's have day-care for working sisters?
[3]Why don't JW's have senior citizen centers?
[4]Why don't JW's have referral services for members to get a technical education to get off of welfare?
[5]Why dont Jw's have referral service for those members who have been mugged, raped, child molestation,burglarized, suffered loss due to natural disasters, sister's needing relocation due to domestic violence?
It's so easy to label that secular governments services as influenced by Satan the Devil, but I ask...What the hell is WBTS doing besides "preaching the good news" all over the world, while beaten down members stay beaten down??? Government services are a matter of survival inspite of WT redderick....Oh silly me, elders do take interest in sisters that have been raped and that is to see if she yelled out loud....and that's the extent of elder concern...poor excuse of a religion.
