  they've cut back their number of branch locations from 217 to 198 in the past year.

  they've installed credit card machines at assemblies and conventions.

  they've cut back on the number of pages in the watchtower and awake magazines (from 32 to 16).

  WTBS and Appealing a Civil Judgement

  by truth_b_known in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  in light of the candice conti civil trial against the wtbs and the pro-jehovah's witness/apologist comments posted on various news websites, i thought i would give a simplified explanaition of what is involved in appealing the outcome of a trial in the courts of the united states.. a trial, whether criminal or civil, usually ends with a verdict rendered by a jury.

  in a criminal case the verdict is guilty or not guilty.

  that same jury may decide the punishment in the event of a guilty verdict.. in a civil case a jury must decide based on the evidence whether the defendant is guilty of damaging the plaintiff.

  Special talk earthquakes increasing really?

  by tootired2care in

  2. friends

  i had to sit though the the special talk yesterday "is it later than you think", the brother a good deal of time making the case that major earthquakes are on the rise, and how i should believe it is "later than i think" based on that fact.

  i took a bit of time to research this today, and sure enough they are not.

  the link below has a chart of major earthquakes since the mid nineties, and it clearly shows they are random and all over the place.

  by RayPublisher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just curious as to the best way to do it.

  most new cell phones record audio, but that would leave with you when you are dismissed.

  just wondering how to capture it all if it ever came to that.. .

  Letter from WT's Haiti Branch Committee re: Society's relief response

  by Dogpatch in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just got this in, don't know if it was mentioned here yet, but this illustrates how the watchtower views/responds to emergencies.

  note the dig on university and "higher education" (especially sad for a poor country like haiti with poorly educated masses).. randy.

  it was a terrifying moment for all!

  after much deliberation, i decided to go "out" at the end of a public talk.

  i'll update it more when i get the time and the strength.
