I see Richard Carrier went on his channel. I wonder how many people have turned him down for interviews in the last year.
Carrier doesn't have the best reputation when it comes to women, too. Anyway his patrons would have paid for that as you have to pay their appearance fee.

Would he have resigned to protect his Father's position in Watchtower?
I think if that were the case, Vintage, he would have resigned a long time ago. As LMsA said it's an inactive company and probably always has been.
I also agree with Simon that if Dijana divorced him (and there was any bad blood between them) getting child support wouldn't necessarily be a straightforward thing, particularly if he left Croatia. Establishing his having regular, reliable income could be tricky too.
Powerful stuff.
Interesting that he had two positive responses. That probably wouldn't have happened twenty years ago. What's happening in Spain is really encouraging too. If we can assume he sent it to everyone in his congregation at a minimum and that his congregation was 80 to 100 strong, it might be useful to assume around 3 to 4 or even 5% of Witnesses on average are either Pimo or well on their way to being so.

Consultant of what?
More bluff.
Somebody on twitter made a post , showing that Mr. Evans junior RESIGNED doing business with Daddy Evans in april 2022.
To be fair he may have done it in response to rumours they're working/connected in some way.
They've never had a real, revenue generating business (any more than some kid doing yard work). Just more Evan's con artistry. That's probably why they never bothered changing the details.
isn’t it about time they released the report for the service year?
or have they stopped publishing it?
did they released selected figures at the annual meeting as they usually do, such as the memorial attendance or record number of pioneers?
They've slipped in this poor report at the end of COVID/lockdown etc & they'll blame it on that. See! ....Our ministry really does work because when we don't do it, look what happens!
The next few reports won't be as bad so it's smart to report the biggest drops at the end of a highly unusual period in history.

And probably earned more money off the back of Ray Franz, ironically.
In the sense that almost everything he uses for his work comes from Ray, Paul Grundy or Olaf Johansson, in the main, with work from jwdotnet alumni. He was never smart enough to work out any of this for himself
ask most fitness coaches, nutritionists or health professionals and they will tell you that weight control is about calories in versus calories out (cico).
after all, you can’t ignore the laws of thermodynamics!.
the flaw in this simplistic reasoning ought to be obvious; a human body and a steam engine are two different things.. our bodies have evolved complex systems of control and feedback loops in order to maintain a steady interior environment, also known as homeostasis.
That's Cofty you must be a mind reader. I've been trying to understand this today after watching a video about an overweight guy fasting. I think my basal metabolic rate must be really low since menopause. Ive been 8 st my whole life until then. Medication and menopause and I've gained weight and I eat and small breakfast plus one meal a day basically. I do snack at night though - yoghurt or crisps, mainly. I'm also vegetarian and have been my whole life (since 12).

not sure if this is fake news or not..
Dropoffyourkeylee I agree it's partially about having a kid.
But I'm also with Slim it's very cynical to wait until you've found a non witness husband, had your kid (out of wedlock) & your career before getting baptized when you are "safe" from disfellowshipping.
What does the Bible say about remembering God during your youth?!!
i came across an old notebook of mine when we were spring cleaning our attic space.. for some reason i had written down these two references from older wt magazines.. reading over the two of them now i can only think that elders didn't pay any attention to the message either at the time or since.
*** w75 8/1 p. 474 par.
14 elders presiding in a fine way ***.
Probably written by Ray Franz or Ed Dunlap. Or maybe Lyman Swingle?
we have long time friends who are seriously involved with the urantia book.
they have regular meetings with others and seem to have become convinced of its alien inspiration.
it seems mostly harmless but weirds out anyone who talks to them.. do any of you have experience with this or have suggestions about how to debunk the book?.
I've never heard of it Pete! Tell us more....has anyone else heard of it?🤷🏼♀️
