I stand on a previous position that the WTS has never been richer and its going to get richer as time carries on. $$$
This is wrong. There's a lot of behind the scenes stuff that go on most people do not know about. There is a reason they are fleecing the JWs while at the same time having billions in real estate. They wouldn't unless they needed to...
I'd be surprised at this point if they lasted another 5-10 years.
but still, they ask for more at every opportunity.
send in that ice cream money kids!.

Doesn't look like they will be going bust anytime soon..
I disagree. The real estate they own in Brooklyn is a drop in the bucket compared to what the are up against....
long time lurker who just created an account.
i was raised a witness, never dunked, have new jw bride ( why u ask?
um... i do love her, just not the dub side, which is raising its little head more and more now) and a little 5 month old that i would like to have other options in life than a full time pioneer married to a 23 year old ms who works for his daddy's janitor business.
here is a great site in case anyone is interested in acquiring wt property in brooklyn heights.

Why aren't more of their Brooklyn properties up for sale? Are the other properties in use and they can't sell them?
adele's new album came out today.
so far i love it, although one of the songs feels a bit overwrought to me.
i find her to be at her best, as i always have, when she is singing only accompanied by a piano.
downloadable as a pdf here.. i did a search and couldn't find this posted on the forum.
if it has been and this is a repeat post....i apologize.. there is lots of information in that pdf that may be of interest to our members who like numbers and money and misc info pertaining to wts organizational structure, etc..
for those that lurk or havnt decided to post yet.... living a lie is difficult.
nobody would likely disagree with that... many of us lived or are living the wt lie for the sake of friends or family.
it can eat at us and put us in situations where we frame half truths, try to find tactful way to avoid telling people what we really think.. there is great freedom in being able to admit truths.
i was something like 20-21 and there was this young sister, maybe 16 who i happened to like back in the day ... uh oh ...we met in the summer convention because i made the first move while she was playing board games with her friend.
we kept in touch via skype and text messages because lived kinda far from each other.
eventually her mother heard of the stuff and said to her daughter that the chatting must stop.... well, when two people have a little crush on one another, it sure doesn't.

feelings about social acceptance influence how a parent reacts.
No, I've seen firsthand the effects of what this can do to a kid.
16 is ok, why not 15? The kid we are talking about might be 16. Why not 14, it's only the difference of a year. Could we push for 13?
Don't get all mad at the JWs for child molestation on a young teenager when at the same time you are ok with someone playing with this sort of fire.
At some point, a line needs to be drawn. Saying, "maybe 16" is a problem. At the very least, it's playing with fire....

So, I guess what's child molestation in one country is perfectly acceptable in another.
Excuse me while I go vomit...
