  I've been researching the "real money".

  One time I stayed at Bethel in a Co-Hi apartment, an apartment that Co-Hi had retained for personal use. At the time money freely flowed back and forth between private corps and WTBTS. This bothered me at the time even though the explanations made sense. With WTBTS being broken up in '00 the structure is much more complicated. Which I'm sure is the intent. Since these corps are private its hard to follow the paper trail. I don't have a complete answer but its apparent that capital is being held external to the Org.

  have/would WT/JWS HIRE OR HIRED A THINKTANK

  Yes they do.

  Typically they will hire a consulting company. That company is typically a privately held shell company owned by brothers. They will then in turn hire a professional company or thinktank to "assist" them. The professional(real) consulting company is then brought in under non-disclosure agreement with the shell company. End result is that the consulting company is not paid by WTBTS.

  Life After JWs

  by Uzzah in

  i wanted to share some very cool (in my opinion) news.

  in two months i will have been gone from bethel for 14 years and attended my last meeting 11 years ago.

  i spent 11 years at bethel sacrificing all of my 20's to the borg and finding myself at age 32 with no resume or real work experience.. it has been a tough haul with the majority of my energy going into building a career.

  Congrats Uzzah!
  
  I know how hard it is to start a career after Bethel. When you leave most people the same age have an education and several years of experience. It’s like you have to work twice as hard just to catch up.

  Who knows of an Annointed one getting Disfellowshipped?

  by annalice in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok ,so if new annointed ones can still come about , who here has ever heard of any annointed ones in their congregation or surrounding congregations getting disfellowshipped or simply fading out of the organization.

  thus allowing some new annointed one to take their place?.

  and if someone says "hey i am annointed" do they have to check with bethal who then checks a list or something to see if there is a annointed one somewhere in the world who just got d'fd?.

  Thanks for answering my question from the original thread. Looks like even ex-JW's can't resist proclaiming unsubstatiated dates. Of course if the mass exodus doesnt occur in "August 2009" they will just blame me for "misinterpreting" their statments. In which case I will have to start a website called "eightscreensofthesixscreensofthewatchtower.com".

  Conference call Sat. March 14-SPIES INFILTRATE THE ORG!

  by the research lady in

  2. scandals

  the watchtower organization states in their book "pay attention to daniel's prophecy"!

  on page 274 par.8 "yet others who seemed to accept the good news were really spies for the authorities".

  a report from one land reads : "some of these unscrupulous characters were avowed communists who had crept into the lord's organization, made a great display of zeal, and had even been appointed to high positions of service.

  Witness 007 returns to wife and meetings..I give up! Sorry no choice!

  by Witness 007 in

  my wife's been having mental problems since hurting her back at work...we split for 8 weeks {her doing} then she rings me and says she "can't cope and is lonely" so i return {the drama continues} she seems more stable, sleeping all night...what a change!

  her mood had become alittle more stable.

  she found a part time job, and has not been dragged off by security like her last job...much improved though she dropped 10 kilos in weight.

  I remember a husband that went to meetings for 30yrs just to keep the peace. He didnt comment, sing, etc. I asked him about one time and he said once you get married there are things you just gotta do. Like taking out the trash, dishes....

  Did Noah build a protoype of the ark?

  by Holey_Cheeses*King_of_the juice. in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  was the ark the first boat ever built?

  if so, that man noah must surely have had some faith in the critter that told him to build it.. the wise thing would surely to have built a small scale model just to be sure the thing was going to float.

  but then i guess noah didn't have too many options otherwise.

  The Midrash mentions that Og the Giant hitched a ride. Post flood he is mentioned as last of the Rephaim, Duet. 3:11
