WT cash flow speculation

by campaign of hate in

jw
friends

so it was reported that the wt made $60,000,000 in canada last year (?).

working on the assumption that this figure is from not only donations, but from property revenues and other ventures from the branch, we get a figure of $528 per publisher, per year.

the calculation: 60,000,000 / 113,617 (2014 av pubs) = $528 a year per publisher.

The call for more money is something else not related to running the corporation. It has nothing to do with lawsuits. It's something outside the box of what we are assuming.

They've been claiming to want KH builds according to their new flat roofed design plans (as if that made sense in New England). But I've already heard about two Cong's not getting a new build. Instead they will get minimal renovations like adding a carport at the entrance and putting in wired smoke alarms instead of battery powered ones.

It's a "lose / lose" situation!

by stuckinarut2 in

so the org is on a big "beg for money" drive right?.

so either they are running out of money and will eventually cease to have as much influence, or, it is evidence of a lack of backing from "god", so they will eventually fade away?.

either way, it's a "lose / lose" situation for the org!.

IMHO the GB is asking out of their greedy want not the Org's needs

They manufacture a perceived reason like loan forgiveness when clearly they've requested never ending payback to those loans. Bunch of greedy money grabbers that they are!

Specific Comments By R&F About May Broadcast

by freemindfade in

i know there are many posts discussing the may money requesting televangalism...er... broadcast i mean!

but i wanted to start one where anyone can put what they have heard any non-exjw, non-apostate witnesses say good or bad about the broadcast.

i don't see how it can't rattle followers... but then again i might be surprised how they can twist things (2+2=5).

oppostate

not a peep about contrib's

but one comment about how "animated" bro. Lett is.

Lett's Historic Moment

by Icarus in

jw

with all the furor over the jw's cash strapped pleas, i'm surprised no one noticed a different issue with this broadcast.

it was historic!

yes, all 7 of the gb have broadcast in the 7 months of the channel's existence!

oppostate

I could only watch a bit of the beginning. What, with Lett's pantomimish over-gesturing the hysterics rather than hysterical expressions became too off putting to watch. It made for a historic embarrassment of how deluded the GB is about their own grandeur.

So Why Do They Need The Money?

by konceptual99 in

so, as well reported, the latest jw broadcasting show is all about giving money.

as far as the wt society goes they have been pretty candid about there not being enough funds to meet the expenditure.

there are plenty of views on if this is really the case or not but underlying this is why are they spending so much money?.

oppostate

So Why Do They Need The Money?

Because they love it and the power of having it!

Just a handfull of years ago all throughout New England they merged congregations and sold off old buildings now there's a supposed need for more halls and more contributions. What a bunch of greedy money grabbers!

The present Governing Body will rule the U.S.A.

by John Aquila in

i havent gone to meetings in about 1 year and a half.

one of my neighbors who is a jw-lady told me that the co on the last visit said that its very likely that right after armageddon (which is just around the corner) the present governing body members will be in charge of the united states since they are familiar with the culture.

and that the apostles and early christians will be in charge of areas like china.

oppostate

that's all right Finkelstein the birds are supposed to take care of all the Armageddon victims on the ground and the dead hordes of soldiers whose tongues will rot in their mouths and the horses who'll drown in blood up to their necks as we studied repeatedly in the climax book

CAH closing down in upstate NY

by oppostate in

yet another circuit assembly hall is going to be sold off!.

they've been reducing the amount of congregations assigned to meet there and using the times when it isn't in use to make repairs.

elders have now been informed that they are selling off the property and buildings and that circuits would be assigned to attend other sites, twice as far, three or four hours away, like montreal.

Elders have now been informed that they are selling off the property and buildings and that circuits would be assigned to attend other sites, twice as far, three or four hours away, like Montreal.

They said that it isn't getting a lot of use, but whose decision was it to reduce the number of congregations assigned there by half in the first place and send people to meet several hours away farther?

They 86'ed the book study at people's homes because of gas expenses, and now they aren't worried about the gas and probably hotel expenses when they're assigning congregations to go so frelling and fracking far away?!?!

How low can they go?

by John Aquila in

how low can they go?.

if i remember correctly, this is the lowest number of gb members the wt has had since the gb arrangement started.

they dont seem to be in any hurry to appoint any new gb members.

oppostate

Wouldn't three be far too obvious what the one third looser position might be? I'm guessing the looser might feel too disgusted with the arrangement and go Ray Franz on them. So probably five would be the lowest, since then the two loosers could commiserate and cry on each other's shoulder, especially if they are of the Greenlees and Ewart Chitty who went gently into that murky night of oblivion without fanfare.
