Its a good way for people to use their hours up and there is a chance they might manage to give out some of their old teaching books

What are the economics of cart witnessing?
by slimboyfat inon another thread shepherdless sketched out the past business model of jws and its demise.
until 1990 they were a straightforward publishing business with the tremendous advantage of free labour in production and free distribution agents.
since then they've been relying on donations for literature to keep the old model going.

The Watchtower is not invincible
by Coded Logic indespite claims to the contrary, there's no guarantee the watchtower will be around in a few decades time.
and it seems to me there's ever mounting evidence that the opposite may well be true.
but it's not just that recruitment is down and their defectors are up.

No the watchtower is not invincible
When they need to ask children for their ice cream money
When they need to ask parents not to go to the circus.
The GB sees the big picture though if one million children around the world dont have a $1 ice cream and give it to the borg thats one million dollars
If one thousand people from this website took a teaching book and put it in the trash each week that would be a 1000 books or per year 52,000 books

It sounds as though the borg want your money and lots of your money even your childrens ice cream money thats why like to throw as many teaching books in the trash as i can and if all the 1000s of people on this site did the same that would mean that 1000s of teaching books would be in the trash and even if they replaced them with single page tracts that would still cost them money that they say they dont have -

What's the status of this org financially?
by megaboy insoooo... 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 inearlier 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.
