  we can't forget that the reason why they have these tract campaigns before memorial/assemblies is to keep the rank and file busy. So I doubt they can really drop the door to door work.

  My thoughts re Pope Francis

  so today i'm watching cbs news coverage of the popes visit to america.

  first, let me say i'm not religious at all at this point in my life.

  still a few things stood out to me about the news coverage of his visit.. first thing i wondered was if a gb member happened to garnish this much press (unlikely) what would his message be?

  It all seems so ironic that the Watchtower always slams religions like Catholicism which acknowledge things like poverty, child abuse etc. Yet they never help feed the poor, clothing, shelter or really help the abused children. I smell hypocrisy.

  How much would it take to bankrupt the Watchtower Organization?

  so how much would it take to bankrupt the watchtower organization, they're already having to bleed tens of millions to child abuse victims, how much more would it take to bring the society to it's knees, i know at one point they were going to sell off bethel.

  The Watchtower has probably billions in assets. They could sell off a lot of their assets, deposit the money in the banks and recoup whatever losses suffered by income off of interest.

  - tony morris will rant about apostates anonymously sending him pink socks.. - david splane will say that though types and anti-types are no longer jw doctrine, that doesn't mean that the gb can't bring them back anytime they want.

  obey, or else we'll bring them back!.

  - sam herd gives a talk about "wimmen, whisky and makin' whoopie".

  Are you "trained" to be loyal?

  i went for the kh today for personal reasons.

  it was pretty dumb, but not horrible.

  anyway the speaker used a terrible, but accurate illustration in his gb approved outline.

  DoC;

  Maybe it's because we're now 101 years on passed 1914 with the big A nowhere in sight. Now entering the 2016 service year, it will be 102 years on. It sounds too like you mentioned because people are starting to question things. That's why all these broadcasts about obedience and WT's about loyalty etc........

  ''we may receive instructions that may seem strange, but we must be willing to obey whether they seem strategic from a human standpoint or not''

  so, you never know. That is (was) one of the most chilling statements, makes one wonder, what the heck have they got up their sleeves!!

  I picked-up on that too about being at the meeting in case the Big A came, but what about the rest of the world that is sleeping? I could never rationalize that one,lol
