  I'm sure there are enough members of this forum who would gladly consider jumping in and replacing any of your losses. North Carolina may seem like a foreign country at times, but I'm sure there are enough of us in the Old South who might make the move if they could meet your needs and qualifications.

  I agree - get them out as soon as you can - with maybe a few exceptions if you know they are not really "true believers." First sign of any slacking, sabotage, or insubordination, use the axe on them immediately.

  Does anyone know of a list that contains every WT book published by year since Studies in the Scriptures? I have about 50 or 60 PDFs of some of the older books, but wonder which ones I still miss? I figure I will only understand the "real truth" if I read all of the pubs in order from SintheS#1 up to whatever the latest book release was. That way I will get all the new light in its proper order.

  SURVEY: Is a JWN members post count a reasonable indicator of their theist/atheist position? If so what can be learned from that?

  by nicolaou in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've done no research on this but i suspect that a members belief or absence of belief in god may have some correspondence with the number of posts he or she has made.. my tentative suggestion is that members with fewer than 500 posts are mostly believers while members with more than 3000 posts are mostly non-believers.

  of course there are exceptions, maybe quite a few, but i'm only dealing with generalities here.

  so how about a survey?

  True believer ex-JWs will often post on other forums and then spend their time arguing over the Trinity or JC's divinity or whether creation was 6 days or 42,000 years. I don't have time for any of that so I come here and occasionally the Yuku board.

  I'm a strong #3 with leanings to #4 - total atheism.

  Ladies, did/does your ex elder/elder husband tell you what the BOE discussed?

  When I was teenager I often overheard gossip between the sisters. My mom and dad were very active in field service and meetings, but the highest my dad ever achieved was Literature Servant while I was living at home. He became an "elder" much later, after I had moved out.

  My mother, I can honestly say, was not a gossip in the classic JW sense. She'd share information she had about the health of some of the older brothers and sisters and would let on when she knew someone at the KH was getting married or having a baby. But that was it for her.

  On the other hand, other sisters who were married to the CongServ, AsstCongServ and some others were always blabbing about who was in trouble, why someone was being called on the carpet, who was cheating with whom, etc. At 15 or 16, I heard gossip that would curl your hair - and they never even paid me any mind at all as I just sat there and took it all in.

  Yes, the "elderettes" were all the worst gossips. That is how they tried to achieve rank among the sisters - whoever had the most inside information or the juiciest stories "ruled the roost," so to speak.

  I often knew who was going to be DF'd or put on probation well before it was ever announced at the Kingdom Hall. Such fun...

  The Watchtower Society Hedge Fund

  by TJ Curioso in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  the watchtower society hedge fundseveral weeks ago it came to my attention via the e-jehovahs-witnesses discussion board that the watchtower society had devised a new money raising scheme.

  the scheme is to beg and borrow money from each individual congregation account, which they deem to be in excess of the congregation's actual expenses.

  i half jokingly responded to the topic then that the watchtower has become a hedge fund.

  Great article, TJ!

  Trying to write about how the Watchtower manages its properties and its cash reserves requires some speculation and calculated implications. Why? Because only a few like Don Adams, President of the Watchtower Corp, actually understand and are involved enough to see the big picture.

  Thanks for trying to inform all of us about this new corporate money move.

  Devil_Fish,

  Thanks for jumping in and adding some background info. I really hope the court lets the story be told and helps sort everything out. The truth, no matter whose side it supports, needs to be told.
