The other thing thats suspicious in this case is that Ronda was found in the closet covered with a blanket and it looked like she was lying down

when she supposedly pulled the trigger, another highly unusual position or state when people do commit suicide.

By this we are to assume that she got up to retrieve the revolver out of the draw, find bullets and insert them

because the gun was unloaded, go back into the closet, close the door and lie down, pull a blanket over herself then pull the trigger.

Thats just too weird. Also she had spoken to her mother and got prepared to leave the next day. Meaning there was a predetermined initiative to

carry on in spite of her personal problems with Ron.

Very sad story to be sure.

If I was an homicide investigator covering this case I would highly suspicious to the fact that a 32 caliber pistol was fired 15 feet from someone and

that person says they didn't hear it or awoken from that gun discharge. The position of the supposed gun shot is also highly unusual for a suicide

by gun shot. What a bugled investigation by the police department that was involved in the original investigation which they now openly

admit. If there had been a thorough questioning to not only the husband but also all the teenagers that were there that night, as well gun power

residue testing on everyone, that would have helped to determine if the gunshot was self inflected or not.

It's true of almost every dying cult leader that has ever existed. Jim Jones, David Koresh, and so on. It's all in the male ego.

Well said Randy

Add to that the control of hundreds of millions of dollars and 7 million subservient mental slaves to exploit and thats a hell of lot of power and prestige

to be placed in a few men, even if they have to disperse some of that power and control among themselves.

Good essay Cedars , informative and to the point, there's definitely trouble in Watchtowerland.

Seems that the people at the top of this organization (GB), work as far as to keep the organization fluent up to at least

to their own perceived life expectancy. Then when they are gone the next generation of GB members holds the bag for themselves,

which usually involves doing some doctrinal changes.

The two things that can keep them afloat is that they can still say they are gods chosen organization

and they can still say the end is near, provoking fear into people to over look why they are saying those things in the first place,

as well to cause people to over look the corrupt means in how they exploit the bible and its supportable belief, to serve their own agenda.

An example of the dishonesty in regards to the WTS. revealing what its financial state is, was recently exposed by the

a web site run by the government of Canada, concerning year end financial statements for non-profitable organizations.

The Canadian branch had above 60 million after expenses, most likely placed in a Canadian bank collecting interest somewhere.

Irregardless of that balance they will still ask for more either by credit card or other means.

Religion what a business , what a racket !

Funny how religion can some people morbidly drunk and delusional against reality.

No names mentioned.

Picking out a specific year for the start of the decline of the WTS. is like shooting fish in a barrel.

In accordance to upholding my beliefs that is.

So although the poorer developing countries are the "breadbasket" when it comes to growth, this growth is unsustainable because the local demands on printing and building work cannot be serviced without dipping into the ever-dwindling donations from richer countries, which have their own costs to service. It's a very uneven state of affairs, and I believe it's been taking its toll on the Society economically for some time now.

Makes sense to me Cedar

The situation in Brooklyn is related to numerous circumstances, one being that the WTS's property holdings are getting quite old and out dated

making up keep expensive to maintain. There are other higher costs involved also, such electricity, insurance, parking and transportation costs etc etc.

The other being the organization has probably realized by now that its easer to have a Headquarters established not directly in a major city center,

where costs would be assuringly higher than out in cheaper rural areas.

The other aspect toward the sell off in Brooklyn is that the WTS has realized also the potential value $$$ of its holdings, which has been by estimated

to be close to a billion dollars in its entirety, so that too has some relevance to them selling off their properties there and taking the money to build newer

facilities elsewhere.

Is the slowing in down in growth truly related to the lesser amount of publications produced due to the lesser amount of expected donations ?

Perhaps its a case of the WTS. unable to come up with any doctrinalised bullshit to put into print and push it out their

sales depots, the Kingdom Halls. The WTS doesn't seem to put out the publications like it use to in the past.

Those publications cultivated their own specific in come toward the organization.
