Help Me Undertand...

by DarioKehl in

according to the 2014 annual report:.

"worldwide, there are 115,416 congregations of jehovahs witnesses and 8,201,545 publishers.".

i don't understand how the borg is facing financial difficulty.

Dubstepped - I think it was multiple investments.

Also, I agree with you, the child abuse lawsuits probably wouldn't be a drop in the bucket.

Dario- also, yes, I believe it is that simple. I think they really screwed themselves over with bad investments. Don't think the child abuse lawsuits would be causing this much damage.

Dario- I don't believe so, because (correct me if I'm wrong) but they are setup that there is one main company (the parent company) and all the other companies are attached to the parent. Therefore, one balance sheet.

A simple explanation for the financial changes

by JeffT in

jw
friends

as i've mentioned from time to time, i'm a retired accountant.

i have tried many times to come up with some logical, sound business reason why the wtbs has made the big changes in its financial arrangements: taking the congregations savings, the monthly donations per congregation etc.

i finally came up with the answer.. the leadership of the watchtower society is batshit crazy.

Just answered another thread and I'll tell you the same thing: Bad investments

Might Geoffrey Jackson attempt or commit suicide as a result of the ARC?

by Esse quam videri in

this may seem to be a harsh subject, but we have repeatedly heard how shunned jw's, of all ages, have committed suicide.

they succumbed to the harsh treatment brought on them by the watchtower society and in turn their families and so-called friends.. is it possible that the 'harsh treatment' the australian royal commission will met out to mr. jackson, by the relentless, probing questions, that he consider suicide?

perhaps losing face under the onslaught of merciless questioning, bringing that which is hidden into the light.

Hahahahhahahahaha @steve

"now that has been changed.
