If it was a case of 7 elders learning TTATT, surprised since they were the majority they wouldn't all go on stage to say something prior to that happening. Another thing is they could have been 'bad' elders, covered something up without the WT clearance.

Nice post fulltime. Although I knew about the railroads expanding I didn't even consider it a way China could really take off with high speed trains, etc for transporting goods. Europe is way ahead of USA in that regards. In the long term these things may end up having the USA falling way behind the game....I wonder what life will be like here come 20 years.

2012 WT financial statements in Britain
by EndofMysteries inhttp://theworldnewsmedia.org/file/view/2012-wtbtsb-financial-report.pdf.
it seems it is possible to get some financial statements from some countries.. it's interesting seeing how they must report in what way they are a charity.
many spin doctoring and word games to make it appear they are doing charitable things.. also interesting was how the trustees were consenting to reducing the reserves and sending them to another country, probably wt usa it looks like.

Also it was changed to let the trustees get the same benefits as any full time member. (meaning if they were an elder, working, etc, just being a trustee for an annual meeting, etc, they get free housing and all the perks for having the title)

I just noticed another interesting thing..... any members of the board of directors MUST be an elder and if they are removed or leave being an elder, they are removed from board of directors for any of these other companies that are WT related, like IBSA. The WT recently made a change that elders are not longer appointed by elders in the KH but it's all appointed by the CO or based on WT/Bethel right?? This means that WT/GB have full control of all the companies. If elders were appointed by other elders, etc, and they were on the board and they felt WT was getting very shady, they can just remove them as elders, they are kicked off board of directors with these recent changes.

Organized shunning is putting somebody to death without harming a hair on their heads as Jesus prophesided in Luke 21:16-19 You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers and sisters, relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death. 17 Everyone will hate you because of me. 18 But not a hair of your head will perish. 19 Stand firm, and you will win life.

Not a hate group?
What about the talk listed in the program for either circuit or district assembly last year entitled, "you must hate your enemy" (probably about anybody opposed and not part of the borg)
Or in print in the 80's WT about how apostates (those who leave or dont believe in the GB) should be stoned to death but the laws do not allow that.
The hate is there, there is no violence because they are taught to hate but be peaceful.
Would you want people you don't hate to be killed by God?

" I stopped ordering Chinese Take Out Food just to protest...." - even American chinese food in many places has become a 'made in china' quality. I used to love general tso's chicken and I think each year it becomes less chicken and more breading. It's not a piece of chicken with a layer of breading but each piece is like a marble sized piece of meat with incased in a huge glob of breading as if nobody would notice they are eating more breading then actual chicken (if it is chicken lol).

Thanks, here is an International bible students assocation statement.... https://jwleaks.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/ibsa-2010-0000216647_ac_20100831_e_c.pdf
There could definitely be some money laundering going on. What is interesting is how both IBSA and WT claim to have free volunteers and how in this statement it talks about WT 'purchasing' literature from them and them 'purchasing' literature from the WT as well as providing services to WT from conventions and such and vice versa.
That's 2 major parts but if the WT's dozens of companies are all charging eachother back and forth, then that can make expenses that don't really exist and imagine if the charges are not actual cost but inflated.
Look at the wording of this one as well about the so called benefit. No wonder WT pushes all of this preaching and distributing their literature, since NOTHING else is done, no help for it's members or other poor, that it MUST show growth, like a for profit company and expansion.

This is all during 2012.
