Fighting about college
by cognac inmy nephew is a sweet, smart, thoughtful person.
he wants to go to college.. normally, a mom would be proud to have a son like this.. nope, not a friggin jw mom.
apparently, he's being selfish to both her and jehovah.

Headline: "Islamic Invasion: Europe now scrambles for guns." How true is this?
by cappytan ina year to a year and a half ago, i would have taken this article at face value and believed it.. now, i realize this article comes from a dubious source.
world news daily has a die-hard right-wing bias.
so, in an effort to get real information, i'm asking my european exjw's, is this article all true?

What a load of tosh.For the past 4 years or so the world food programe have been feeding about 4 million refugees in camps around syria who have gone there because of the civil war that started in the arab spring when the tusnian dictator and egyptian dictator were kicked out by their own people and it got to syria and five years later we are here.Then last the world food programe who had been feeding millions of people in the camps ran out of money and had to cut back how much food and food vouchers they gave to people. So the people had the choice stay and have less then £1 a day to live on or move and some moved because they had no choice and because they were wanting a better life (the american dream) and because they had contact with people smugglers who have vast amounts of money sending people on boats etc some have managed to get to greece and then walk the 1000s of miles to eastern europe etc.Then they have been around loads of people from eastern europe that just want a better job etc and have been walking to germany etc -

The last days yes THE LAST DAYS OF THE BORG i got foutr teaching books from the trolley today all printed in 2006,I travel a lot for work and in 3 big citys all the trolleys had got old books on and from next year the magazines will be printed bimonthly.I went on a pro jw site a few days ago and every picture that had got a trolley in from all the world had got old teaching books.Steven lett might have been right when he said they had got more money going out than coming in.He might have ment fresh money coming in ie donations rather than just property.Once you start spending your savings you have to be really careful.Once you have sold a house and spent the money the money is gone forever and once the borg have sold the property and spent all that money then they are not rich any more and of course they have to think ahead for the next 10 or 20 years.If the GB thought it was the last days they wouldnt have sent people home from bethel to do a wordly job -

Where has all the money gone?
by gingerbread ina number of years ago when i was still active, our service group was having a coffee break with the visiting circuit overseer.
during the conversation he mentioned that the "society" was now being run like a business.
being raised in the "truth" i thought that rather odd (and my eyes began to be opened!

i think they are rich in property but not much else with them stopping 12 issues of the magazines next year and it does cost lots of money to feed 1000s of people around the world so they have trimmed back in both directions and also with the watchtower and awake being undated it means they can still be giving them out in nine years time like loads of teaching books that i have disposed off these past weeks -

Paranoia after today's Watchtower
by Truthexplorer inboy oh boy did i feel paranoid at today's wt.
not only are we to watch our associations outside of the congregation, but also watch our associations 'within' the congregation.
this was emphasised by the wt study conductor.

2016 Calendar: Give us more money!
by wifibandit injust got a peak at the 2016 calendar and i cannot tell you how much it bothered me.
it's all about constructing new kh and assembly halls, which is completely ironic given that the construction stopped almost worldwide.obviously this is proof that the borg is shifting from a magazine publisher to a real estate conglomerate, no wonder they're getting rid of 12 issues of magazines all together.. now, while the pdf of this is not up on the site yet, i will post confirmation as soon as it becomes available.
weather that is by legitimate means or other wise..

WT is shorting literature orders by congregation with a problem contributing enough for literature $3500 just for mags
by oppostate inat our meeting last night there was a talk about having run out of magazines for the last three months.
it's expected this will continue to happen.
the "branch" has not sent the requested number of magazines.

Has anyone noticed how in the October JW Broadcast, Losch encourages good works towards ALL people?
by Tenacious ini can't help but notice how this past year alone has seen the gb start to turn more towards the teachings of the christ instead of peddling their falsities.. study articles have talked in length about the fine works of christ.
assemblies have been dedicated to speaking about christ.
and this month's broadcast is about doing good to others copying the example christ left for us.. what's more shocking is that losch actually says kids should speak, share, and even give food and clothing to non-believers!!

Its because they are concerned about losing their charity status and all the tax breaks that come with it -

Another Resolution
by truthlover inhas anyone on the board been at the recent meeting where they are asking for more money to help out the co's, insurance and health and travel??
this is supposed to go into a general fund???
they can use it for anything they want..... oh, and also, if you can give more, it would help as many congregations may not be able to give - based on number of pubs in each cong.

And from nexy year they will be more than halving the number of mags that they print, i say more than halving because the watchtower and awake will be undated and will be able to be used for many many years on the trolleys you can still get books from the trolleys that were printed nine years ago -
