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 inso, 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?.

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 ini 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.

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 inyet 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.

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.
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 inhow 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.

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.

Cartoons like this really speak to the moral character of the WTS bigshots like Rutherford and his cronies who claimed to be "true Christians" yet their works (and publications) prove them to be nothing but disgusting "mentally diseased" hypocrites filled with hateful slander. -

Freedom of speech can only guarantee an audience of one
by Brokeback Watchtower inin my house i feel that freedom of speech is important but it can only guarantee an audience of one.
i know women need to vent and i try to give them as much space as possible without interjecting any judgement on the validity of what is been vented in other words i give space for these events as best i could and try to listen with an open mind because there truely is a message there some where but i admit i'm a dense male to the female of our species.
but i tend to shy away from over venting and cringe at being subjected to them and so while a person has the right to free speech in my house they don't have the right to an audience of more than one.

The Bible Does Not Say - But ...
by berrygerry inpainfully reading an article of may 15, 2015 (extra-simplified edition) and again observed this phraseology: the bible does not say, but .... so, did satan hope to tempt her with the luxurious palaces of pharaoh and abimelech?
did satan think that she would betray her husband and even jehovah by marrying one of those kings?
the bible does not say, but it is very likely that the devil would have been overjoyed if sarah had lost the opportunity to become part of the messiahs family line.. .

When they say the "Bible does not say but" they're really saying "we have no Biblical proof for this and we just pulled it out of our butt" and since it's been approved by the GB then all Witnesses must believe it as the Truth(R) or else.
