i put the below comment at http://www.courier-journal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?aid=/20071127/zone02/711280439 in the comment section and am wondering if the jw's at the local levels are adjusting to the possibiltys of misrepresentation for contributions.. --------------------------------------------.
in a simular article posted by a renee k. gadoua*, whom stated 'jehovah's witnesses refer to god as jehovah' is a remarkable statement because it wasn't to long ago when jehovah's witnesses would confidently say that jehovah is god's name even pointing to isaiah 43:10- that the name jehovah's witnesses is bible based.
as a matter of fact, a feature used when offering their bible for volunteery contributions is it restores god's personnel name 'jehovah' some 6000 times plus, to it's proper place in the scriptures.

With polished, sometimes articulate and even disarming behavior, Jehovah's Witnesses attempt to make the home owner lower thieir guard so as to achieve thier objective.
Some choose to use what they call, the sincere approach where it's not what yo say but, how you say it, coupled with facial expressions.
For exampe: "me got book. You need book. Book has God's name in it, Jehovah. For, volunteery contribution..
Yet, others may choose, 'dependiing upon the need of the houise holder' to use a more sophisticated approach where the 'Bible Topic for Conversation' at the back of the bible or book is refered to
And then, supplementing with God's personnel name has been restored to it's proper place as 'Jehovah' some 6000 times in this bible. Offering for a voluteery contribution.
The sucess of these people is staggering to the imagination where the low end of a conservative estimate is $600. Milliom to an excess of $1. billion USD. just in sells or contributions of their bible which has enabled it's governingbody(god) to live a luxurious life style, even having their own fully equipted and staffed in house hospital to prolong their earthlty life or deprive them of their heavenly hope. Think, about it You, dumb, JW's.

.. you may be aware of recent media coverage on 'the salt threat'* where the fda is trying to regulate the food packaging industries use of salt in the products.. if they go forward with it what would stop them from trying to regulate the salt content in usda meat since it's common knowledge that blood contains salt and if the production line is slowed down allowing for a better quality of bleed in the carcass reducing the amount salt or blood in the meat.. * http://abcnews.go.com/gma/oncall/story?id=3929972&page=1 .

The point is that if the USDA regulates the term of bleeding of the dead cacuass to elimate high consintrations of salt in the blood, the Jw's will be able to eat USDA meat since it would compliy with the bible standard at Genesis 9:4, not to eat poorly bled meat.

so i'm talking to someone from my old hall and he tells me that there are some disgruntled jws (including elders) who feel like some bad decisions are being made by the rbc.. for instance, one hall needed a new roof.
an elder, in the construction business, made a deal with a local non-jw roofer that if the brothers cleared off the old shingles, the roofer would come in with his crew and do the new roof for x amount of dollars.
the rbc elder in charge got wind of that arrangement and nixed the deal.
Interresting. Looks like retaliation.
Their are alot of things you can do.
Remember those little stones that david had against goliath?
Prove them to be legal from
-City business license
- The County Assessor, the address of the business location and if they own the property any other business at that location.
-The State business lisence division
-IRS (fin and/or EIN Number)
Keep in mind that unscruplous business people are in it for the $$$ and0 are not always up to speed on the laws espically roofing codes. Shingle roofing codes* are very specific as to enclosure distance and location and length of the nails which inspectors seldom look at and which is routinly not followed by installers because of a savings in materail costs* and installation time is lessened for the less experienced in nailing.
* the county usually will require adherance to the manufacture's installation specification coupled with their, the county's code. If not followed the manufacture warranty is void. (read the packaging label)
* saving in material cost come from the shingles being spread to far apart to cover more square footage. It seems trival but it does add up and their are sound engeernering reasons for it.
.. the boy was cursed for not following the wishes of his parents.. deuteronomy 27:16 " 'cursed is the one who treats his father or his mother with contempt.
(and all the people must say, 'amen!').
and i would like to talk to the judge to find out how much he knows about the subject of the jehovah's witnesses blood god.

.. i am looking for stat's on publication placements in the usa from bibles, books, brochures and magazines that are offered for a volunteery contribution.. tenatively, a ball park figure or average amount generated per usa congergation(12390 plus).
..
.
Hey thanks, drew.
Good idea. Using the Mags printing numbers, with alittle number crunching one could come up with an average per congergation. Got any numbers and if it is semi monthly or monthly.
I noticed also, that the new world translation has a total print number up to and including 1984 at approx 123 mil. X 2 plus =270 mil divided by number of congergations = a ball park figure.

a 14 year old can refuse a blood transfusion.
this is against the wishes of his parents.. http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/6420ap_wa_jehovahs_witness_transfusion.html.
judge: 14-year-old jehovah's witness can refuse blood transfusionthe associated press.

Look at the bright side as she may become a potentail plaintiff for the future in the event someone may take out the core to the Watchtower's Blood god.
