Just remember, this talk was actually given in the 70's when good Ol' Sammy was a CO. See my earlier post for the audio, it's the exact same talk word for word.

Enjoy (or throw up)!

The user name came from the feeling I felt serving. I was the go-to guy in our hall, the youngest of the appointed men, therefore the one that was supposed to do everything. I had so much piled on my plate and felt so overwhelmed working with brothers that didn't want to do their own easy tasks, so I got stuck doing everything.
I would rather had been the Bathroom Servant for sure.... better than the other type of shit I'm dealing with.

This talk is legit. I have the audio of the talk uploaded here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/u1ghyg
This is actually from the 70's when he was a CO, not recent, but shows how sick someone has to be in order to be "appointed" as a GB member.
Enjoy the audio!

Some quick math for yearly earnings
by BathroomServant1 in**this is not meant to be the definitive basis or way of calculating the society's earnings each year, but just an observation.. from my congregations accounts, i averaged the last six months of what is sent to the society just out of curiosity.
that amount is approximately $620 per month.
now, my congregation is located in what is known as a relatively poor town in the u.s. i understand that many congregations will give much more than this and many congregations will give much less.

Now, my congregation is located in what is known as a relatively poor town in the U.S. I understand that many congregations will give much more than this and many congregations will give much less. For the sake of argument, let's assume that the figure listed above is approximately an average of what the Society receives per congregation.
Multiplying that number by the 103,267 congregations worldwide.... $64,025,540 PER MONTH.
Yearly that would be $768,306,480. And that is not including donations sent directly to the society or received at assemblies or conventions.
Of course, again, this should not be looked at as a be all, end all number for seeing what they rake in just from a congregational stand point...
And I'm sure someone could locate a financial earnings statement online somewhere, but I thought this would be at least an interesting perspective on things.

Contribution of Franz books on your decision to leave?
by Damocles inthe recent resurrected topic on franz' books got me curious.. how much did his writing contribute to your decision to leave?.
for myself, it was another brick in the wall but not more important than any other.
i was a little different than most in that i regularly read anti-witness stuff from the very beginning and never stopped.

I read CoC a few months ago which really confirmed a lot of feelings I had been having already, but also opened my eyes to some things I hadn't thought of. I just received (today actually, no lie) ISoCF and can't wait to read it. Seems a little heavier than the first book, but I'm all into it.

Hikaru, I am not a spy. I have loved ones who are still apart of the Org, so leaving isn't an easy option. From what I've read, many people on the boards still go to meetings or serve as elders or servants because their family is still "in" even though they aren't.
I should have clarified that you need to log in to see the Documents tab.

It doesn't have the year text. I believe that is usually released in a WT article. I have log in info because I order (or am supposed to) literature for my hall. I'm planning my fade soon enough, its just difficult with a wife and family that are still "in".

Sorry baltar, forgot to mention it's only available to those with log in information.
Some of the objections are " If Someone Says: 'Christians Are Supposed to Be Witnesses for Jesus, Not for Jehovah' (rs p. 208 3)"
"Is Jehovah in the “Old Testament” the Same as Jesus Christ in the “NewTestament”? (rs p.197 8–p.198 3)" Feel the lies!
