  So you think 1 billion isn't going to bring the organization up to par as far as its financial picture goes ?

  
  Absolutely not... Not even close...

  Problem - You are completely wrong. You have no idea what is really going on behind the scenes. What is public, is that they are fleecing the flock and selling a bunch of their most profitable real estate. Does that not in and of itself jump out at you????

  Fink - I'm implying that this will do little to help them. I've said it in the past and I stand by it now. They are up sh*ts creek. There's going to be more cutbacks, and more selling of properties... And they better get a move on it....

  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.

  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....

  Going to YouTube and show her some videos on other cults... The similarities might jump out at her. I think I got that from Steve Hassan, but can't remember....

  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....

  by _Morpheus in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  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.

  Freedom in admitting the truth...

  by _Morpheus in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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.

  Morph - This is beautifully said. It's my belief that the only way to find truth is to be willing to be wrong.
