Is it possible that the WT society will soon collapse like a house of cards?
by BonaFide inthe recent internet phenomenon seems to be that 1. some news story breaks, and then 2. people start talking about it and twittering and forwarding emails about it.
and then it multiplies and multiplies until finally, 3. the whole world is talking about it.
the same with the madoff scheme.

I didn't think I would see the Berlin Wall go down like it did. Of course, many of the older Russians still miss Communism and old ways. Of course, several JWs will still hold on to their beliefs no matter, but its 'empire' is weakening.

Sales of Bethel premises and transfer of millions to Brooklyn ?
by Nick! insales of bethel premises and transfer of millions to brooklyn ?.
just heard a very surprising and unbelievable news which i want to share with you and ask whoever has the right connections higher up in the borg, if this kind of news can be double checked for reliability.. .
the source of the information is believed to be reliable as it seems to be intimately related to some officials of the branch.

Interesting. How many WTS branches are in UE countries? On the 2008 JW Statistics it shows a total of 115 branches.

Governing body member comments about new anointed
by Kosonen inhttp://www.jwbrothers.org/play_audio.php?audio=612.
i listened to the talk of samuel herd, a governing body member.
he says something like, many new anointed are real trouble-makers in the congregations.

This seemed to be confirmed when almost all who were baptized after 1935 felt that they had the earthly hope.
Here again, the literature (via Governing Body) is blaming everyone else who were baptized after 1935 that expressed to have the earthly hope which was the primary hope taught to those new ones. The manipulation was strong during that time and the teaching was strong that since that time (1935) most everyone had to be of the earthly group. So it was the Governing Body that created that circumstance of the earthly hope, not giving those new ones any opportunity to really consider the heavenly hope. Actually, it was the Governing Body that closed the heavenly hope door for JWs in 1935. It is nauseating how they blame their people for the problem the GB actually created. (Yes, it was the very same way about 1975, not taking the blame but blaming it on their own people).

It's really the 'same old same old' reality,,it's their ploy of semantics (according to Webster's dictionary), meaning "the exploitation of connotation and ambiguity (as in propaganda)".

by jws ini just watched the danish film "worlds apart" last night.

I saw the film. I thought it was well done. Yes, years ago stadiums were outdoors specifically for the district assemblies. If it rained, we brought umbrellas, raincoats and big clear plastic sheets and loyally stayed for the whole program. At least, for people never JWs who see this film can learned a lot of facts and reality of JW world. I had one girl contact me through an ex-JW site recently who was dating a JW and wanting to know about JWs of which he would not speak about. We met for coffee and spoke for 2 hrs. I loaned her the DVD to watch "To Verdener" and she has been reading also Ray Franz' book. She broke up with him last week.

Ironic, Herd speaking of that circumstance in the 50's re those women having husbands that were proven homosexuals. I don't think the ruling by the Governing Body of JWs re homosexuality of a married person being actually grounds for remarriage didn't change until 70s or later (can anyone verify). By that time for any answer of those women's prayer, they would have been very much older and chances of remarriage then become much less.
