  New World Translation 2013 on EBay

  there are several of the new bibles on ebay, but here you can buy the whole box of 32. i don't know if this link will show the original listing, you may have to click on that to see the description.

  i wonder where these came from, the description seems a bit strange.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/case-of-32-2013-new-world-translation-of-the-holy-scriptures-watchtower-bible-/261362288068?pt=lh_defaultdomain_0&hash=item3cda6805c4&nma=true&si=cb4ceo6bt8tstei2ousxlhx8hva%253d&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557.

  one shows $19,,do you think the pubs are "donating" that much to the WTS to cover expense. Has anyone heard how many have been printed so far?

  THE GB have no concept of personal poverty (even near poverty) with family> nO concept of food bills, rent, utilities, gas, car repair, dental, medical bills etc. etc. etc. Not once in the HQ did they have to worry about such things. Even the very poor provide for them.

  They say something like "there are rich people that are not happy." My word,, people in poverty are definitely not happy,,depression extremely high among very poor people. The children mirror their parents anxieties extremely.

  most partakers are disqualified too because most are female,,females are good/quaified enough to 'reign' in heaven, but not goodqualified/ enough to 'govern' with the GB on earth.

  http://www.shadowstats.com/alternate_data/inflation-charts.

  i believe official us figures on unemployment and inflation are 'managed'.. compare inflation in the us to jw publisher growth.

  how do they keep pace with expenses?

  They are dumping Bethelites in the street, but added 1,107 additional (no doubt younger and healthier) ordained ministers (5% increase). The HQ increased 8.7% in funds for spec. pios, missionaries & T.O.s.

  1914 countdown card in 2014 Yearbook

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the 2014 yearbook has a scan of the 1914 countdown card.

  it does not say whether this was published by the watchtower or independently, so please let me know if you have any further information about it.

  in typical offensive fashion, the yearbook blames the members rather than themselves for the false expectations held for 1914.. some bible students even carried a countdown card so that they could mark off each passing day.

  Amazing
  
  THIS chart was not done by someone"s personal hand chart>>THIS was 'machine' printed,,people didn't have Excel then to do some 'individual' chart like that. Wish there was some way to investigate who did it?.. I suspect very much it was done at BEthel.

  Yearbook : http://www.jw.org/en/publications/books/ pages in back, 175-187

  The experience could have been made up in part,,though could be partially so,,it is so irritating, that the HQ puts such out to manipulate people that are ekeing by,,especially as so much is sent on to HQ to build new buildings with all the comfort, only for many with less to give to such a lie.

  What are the "30 zones" of the Watchtower? Is this an 'international corporation' setup requirement issue? Is it a few branches per 'zone?'
