The interview with Brumley(in house attorney) shows the strong influence and mind control of the organization.The comments of AM on higher education and not sending bethelites to law school is questionable. Is it because they have enough lawyers or many leave after they get their degree.Maybe the organization got burnt to many times.Why did they send a bethelite(Shane Brady) to Osgoode Hall Law School(around 2000).Some may remember him in the famous pro bono Bethany Hugh blood transfusion case in Alberta. As a side note:Is it not their(lawyers) professional duty to present clients with all legal options?Would Shane defend a child molestion case vs organization?

Using WT to advertise for skilled workers
by bobld insee january 15,2015 watchtower.on page 2 cesar and his wife rocio owned a 2200 square foot dream home.they both worked and had no children.
in 2009 (note usa was in a financial crisis) wt-hq n.y. sent out a request for skilled workers for their branch facilities expansion in wallkill,new york.cesar and rocio simplified their life by converting their garage into a studio apartment and moving in and renting their dream home.thus they would be available on short notice for work in n.y.. their neighbor(which cesar and rocio associated with) jose and rosa(stay home mom) and their four children ages 6 month to 8 year lost his job and the bank was foreclosing on their home.you would think a true christian would have a heart and see an opportunity to help this family(1 john 3:17-19 living bible).and let them stay rent free in the dream home.. footnote; january broadcast mentioned that university educated people were not required and january watchtower 15, mentioned they require architects,engineers,etc..

The 'Message" is spread into 700 languages...SO WHAT??? Big Deal!
by stuckinarut2 inyou know how the org goes on and on about how the "preaching work" takes place in so many languages by the website?.
they also trumpet the fact that witnesses are in "sooooo many lands and nations"....... so what!.
just because the message is spread far and wide, does not mean the content of the message is correct or of value.. take the example of coca-cola or mcdonalds.... these products are in nearly every nation around the world....but does that mean they are beneficial or healthy?

A brazen falsehood in this week's Watchtower study! (week of Feb 9 - 15, 2015)
by Island Man inon page 13 of the december 15, 2014 watchtower (study edition), the first 2 sentences of paragraph 10 say:.
"the symbolic separating of fish does not refer to the final judgment during the great tribulation.
rather, it highlights what would happen during the last days of this wicked system.".

More education bashing in April 2015 simplified watchtower
by hoser inelders in wealthy lands may find it difficult to encourage baptized brothers in their 20s or 30s to do more in the congregation.
ex- perienced elders in about 20 lands told us why they believe that some young brothers do not do more in the congregation.
most of them said that when some brothers were young, their parents did not encour- age them to set goals in jehovahs ser- vice.

Read Jan 31 es15 "Higher education often produces graduates who have few or no practical skills,leaving them unprepared to deal with the realities of life" Is that why bro morris said in his b'cast that"we don't need any lawyers or doctors"I wonder how they will build the new HQ without engineers or architects because they have no practical skills. -

The Fear mongering of this weeks WT study!
by stuckinarut2 inhave you all read this weeks study article?.
oh my word it is full of fear inducing tactics....doom and gloom outlooks.... anxiety inducing methods to develop absolute control over witnesses and cripple them in any attempt to think for themselves!.
(notice i am saying "themselves" rather than "ourselves"?!

Jehovah will give us lifesaving instructions (how by what means)
"Inner rooms" (where are these) might well be connected with local congregations.

New JW video, song and dance

I thought the video was great.The kind of song that makes you want to dance and sing along.They done a great job of the video.It must of took a lot of time and practice.People throughtout the world dance to the song.However,it just shows where their hearts are(in the world).Do you think they would show the same enthusiasm and happiness if they used a "sing to Jehovah song.I think not more like pig in shit video. -

JW are naive
by bobld inone dictionary defines naive as;generally speaking,to be naive means you do not think enough.people who are "naive" tend to beleive in whatever they are told,without questioning whether it is right or wrong.i think this defines jw because they accept whatever the group of 7 tells them.ex.the several definations of a generation.or the end is near see wt 2000 etc.. these people are naive,because they believe that people like himmler regret sending all jews to the gas chamber( quote from internet).

One caveat not all Jw are naive.There are many who are intellegent and stay in just waiting for the right time to escape.

"Largest development corparation in the world-we own over 80,000 properties"
If 76,000 are kingdom halls with an average of 1.5 congregations per hall that equals to 114,000 cong..What is the total world wide 112,000 more or less.
So why do you need an addtional 30,000 kingdom halls. Sorry your are in the real estate business..
