What's the status of this org financially?

by megaboy in

soooo... i think the main strength of this group is having the finances to keep this con game going.

i'm hoping that the pedophilia cases are draining them dry so we can be rid of this stumbling block from an organizational stand point.

how is the constant surge of bad news getting out on them effecting the everyday person in this organization?

And some of the things that the borg have come out with have been priceless

children give up your ice cream money

parents dont take your children to the circus

Elders be careful about giving out single page tracts on field service

The GB and their helpers are big picture people if a million children give up their $1 ice cream for the borg thats $1 million.

If all the 1000s of people on this website were to throw one teaching book in the trash that would be 1000s of books that the borg would have to replace even if that was with single page tracts that would still cost money that the borg need to keep going

Not good even though they are in the process of selling bethel at brooklyn off they still have to print and distribute about 52 million magazines a month and pay for 1000s of people to eat.And my friends in the uk tell me that they get all their teaching books either from america or germany.

Peer presure to use Ipad

by Gorbatchov in

jw
friends

earlier this season i advised my retired father to ignore the use of a tablet during his kingdom hall congregational visits.

his response was hopefull, but between the lines i could hear he had no choice.. yesterday he showed me his new 600 euro 64 gb ipad air 2. he had no clue what he has to do with it, he told me one of the elders will install the jw.org apps.. so, i feel he had to deal with presure to buy this ipad and i think he is not the only one.. do you recognize this?.

gorby.

2014-12-17-BOE-Children Give Up Your Pocket Money!

by Atlantis in

petra!

2015-12-17-boe already, you dear brothers have done so well, sending gifts both large and small.

for in-stance, two children, five and seven years old, sent their pocket money to help build our new bethel instead of going to the circus, writing, "this is much better than that!

pepperheart

PLUS from next year they will only be printing the watchtower and the awake bimonthly rather than monthly saving a print run of about 52 million copies per month and each magazine will be undated so if a magazine was printed in january 2016 they COULD still be giving it out in january 2017.They are still giving out teachings books that were printed in 2006

Beards galore at the Assembly

by Truthexplorer in

ok, at our recent assembly, i noticed that there were quite a lot of brothers wearing beards.

not just the older dudes, but right across a range of ages, young men, middle aged men and older men.

is watchtower beginning to relax this rule at last?

david splane on the AGM video made a very barbed comment at the start about this is how people SHOULD dress like for conventions etc
