On the front of the 2016 year book it says that the watchtower is spending $200 million us dollars a year on special pioners etc if they get $1 billion us dollars from selling all the buildings at bethel in new york by my mats that gives them another five years or so.What might happen after that ???? :-)

I think it did occur to the watchtower and they might have planed it like that ???.People on the carts are not allowed to make the first move they can only stand there and hope that somebody makes the first move.But its good for them sa they can get their hours in and if the weather is nice then its doubly good.And its good for the watchtower because the rank and file are not espically bothered about giving out mags and books so they keep on the trolley and have a very long shelf life.I have taken books that were printed in 2012 2010 2006 and even 2004.(and trashed them of course )On some carts they even put the mags and books in little plastic bags to keep them longer

Dose Wt really have that much cash.
by joe134cd ini realize that wt has got a wind fall of cash through various means.
so my question is in the greater scheme of things is it really that much.
for example let's say with all their real estate and cash on hand they are worth about $20 billion dollars.

Life is changing for me: no pioneering, got a job!
by Skepsis ina month ago i decided to register in this board.
i had decided to step down pioneering but was frightened about the consequences.
i had finished my university degree some months before (despite disaproval from brothers in my congregation) and i had to choose: continue pioneering and working in jobs with no future or starting a career, working full-time.. i was thinking to postpone the decisiton but... i was fed up with preaching.

skepis the GB dont think the end is near, why would they have people spending millions of hours building the new bethel when they could have been on FS.They could have had non jws building the new bethel and let the jws do field service BUT they did not in 20 or 30 years you will be so glad you have done in getting on with your life.

The con is completed - comments from the US branch's LDC chief
by sir82 inrecently attended a special assembly day.. guest speaker was thomas chicky, a member of the us branch committee and the head of the us ldc (which has replaced the rbcs).. the last talk of the day is scheduled for an hour.
it was the usual boring mumbo-jumbo.
he appeared to have blasted through his hour-long outline in just about 45 minutes, so he "treated" us to informal comments on recent developments.. he commented on the new wt complex in fishkill ny.. then he dropped the bomb (well, to anyone with ears and at least 2 functioning synapses).. the following is not a word for quote, but presents the gist of his comments:.

They have had money trouble since 2012 at least because if you go onto jw.org it self it tells you that in 2012 they closed 20 branch offices around the world.

The Governing Body are doubling down on dogma!
by DATA-DOG inin case you were wondering if the governing body we're going to become kinder and gentler, the answer is a big "no!!!
in the current study edition of the wt magazine, the sheeple are reminded of some very important key points.
1) god has an organization ( corporation ) that you must respect.. 2) only the gb/faithful slave can dispense spiritual food and only the gb/faithful slave can interpret the bible.. 3) individual dubs absolutely cannot learn "truth" on their own.. 4) god requires "unity of doctrine.
