the only witnesses i knew that had money were those that either had family businesses or had money before they got into the religion.

I knew one who had become a judge even. (Her professions included being a legal secretary, missionary, journalist, attorney, judge, children's advocate, office manager and even a Candidate for Congress! -)
Amazing girl - I knew her at Bethel long ago.
jehovah's witnesses mobilize global response to threat of ban in russia.
march 21, 2017. https://www.jw.org/en/news/releases/by-region/russia/jw-mobilize-global-response-to-threat-of-ban/.
new york—threatened with an imminent ban on their worship in russia, jehovah’s witnesses are responding with a direct appeal to kremlin and supreme court officials for relief through a global letter-writing campaign.
I remember writing letters to Malawi in mid-60s. We could count the time. So awful reading later how the WT was very misleading to the JWs there and their heartless control of trusting JWs there.
I feel sorry for most of the JWs in Russia at this time. I wish the Russian government could make JWs go to a class about 'JW facts' for a day or two (kind of like driving class provision when someone brakes a driving law, instead of paying a huge fine). The class could go over all the WT lies and an assortment of choice youtube videos.
i am on holiday in tokyo at the moment.

What is the exact Live streaming site for the ARC today in Sydney? I hope someone or more here will be watching and giving info/quips throughout the case. Also, will someone here or elsewhere be able to 'save' a video of this (all or part). (To start at about 3 pm. Mountain Time, I believe). Time zones are confusing, tomorrow to us is today in Australia?
ive lived here 7 months now--and today was the 4th time some dubs have called--while i was at home.. they were probably about 60-70.. after i let one do her simple leaflet presentation--i told them i used to be a jw--but left over 40 years ago.
and that i held the watchtower responsible for the break up of my family: and discussed shunning.. but the main thing i wanted to discuss--was the sale of their kingdom hall.
they confirmed a sale was going through.
Maybe they will 'subconsciously' not able to give as many of their dimes to org. since they know the selling of the KH will be quite alot and enough for org??
march 1, 2017 to all bodies of elders in the united states branch territory re: update on local design/construction arrangement.
Is it in print how many LDCs have been completed in last 2 years? 'New Halls,' not renovations?
new letter today (please visit avoidjw.org for a copy of the official letter and yes, i also noticed they got the date wrong!).
february 28, 2017. to all bodies of elders.
re: visiting disfellowshipped or disassociated individuals.
At one time, long ago, wasn't it mentioned that approximately 1/3 of DF'd return, be reinstated? Maybe less now?

re: visiting disfellowshipped or disassociated individuals.
Obviously, the reinstated DFd just clearly aren't worth it to the org anymore. If they come back, they just come back to be with their family members again probably and don't contribute energy, additional time, nor money either to the cong/org. A near dead weight to the org and elders. Elders are tired, getting old and don't or can't really help people in reality.
i am a non-jw and have been in an unhappy marriage for a few years now.
i met a nice man at work, we had a laugh together and got to know each other.
we were both really attracted to each other.
It will be a whole lot easier for you to fix your marriage than to fix him. Just a recommendation. Move on, either way.
