I was told that everyone could live in Texas with an acre of land each. Texas is big but I don't know if it is that big.

After the meeting last Sunday when they read the letter about the changes mrs hoser said that sometimes change is good. She also said that I probably already knew about the new meeting a long time ago. I said you don't have to worry about doing talks on the school anymore. She laughed.

I think as a corportion they are more reactive than proactive. They are putting out fires that they themselves start. -

We had a relative that did amway that tried to get our family to join. It didn't work though because I guess one cult was enough. -

Witnesses - Ever Wondered Why You're So Tired After Assemblies/Meetings?
by The Searcher inrecently shared this with me.. they compared the tiredness they felt after attending an assembly and meetings, and noted how much worse it was than actually working and studying hard for hours for their secular employment!
why were they so exhausted after an assembly/meeting?
no, it wasn't satan.

The amazing part is how fast people forget what is "taught" at the assemblies.
I love it when snooty pioneers and elders say how encouraging the assembly that we just attended was and then I ask them what points stood out as being important.
When all they give is well um we learned about Jehovah, Jesus etc I tell them they should have payed better attention to the program. Yes, I'm becoming more of an asshole to these kinds of people every day.

WT Society SEC Records : Hedge Funds, Cayman Islands, Financial Losses - Links
by flipper inso my wife and i were curious so i researched some financial links and found records indicating that the wt society has been operating at a loss since the year 2012. as you read the links it shows a loss of 10 million $$$ in 2012, about 16 million $$$ in 2013, and a whopping loss of 56 million $$$ in 2014 - where the expenditures exceeded the revenues for each of those years in the amount i've mentioned.
also there is a link on this same website with the sec records indicating that the wt society and it's representatives funneled 40 million $$$$ into hedge funds in the cayman islands as early as 2007. if you look online on other sites you can see evidence that indicates the wt society attended hedge fund conferences to look into more shadiness in 2011 and isn't it curious that by 2012 the wt society started showing losses.
anyway here is the link : https://www.watchtowerlies.com/the_watchtower_revenue.html .. feel free to check this link out and other links on that link indicating the cayman island connection.

John Aquilaan hour ago
Ha Ha, thanks, I heard they lost millions Aug 24 2015 but I have no confirmation. Who was managing their money, some pioneer with a high school diploma?
I heard that reading the awake magazine was the equivalent of a college degree so whoever is running the finances must have never missed an issue. -

Churches in Australia could lose millions in tax breaks under radical national faith register plan
by sherrie11 inchurches and religious organisations would lose millions of dollars in tax breaks, concessions and hand outs under a radical plan to force priests, rabbis and imams to sign up to a national faith register.
under the bold proposal clergy would for the first time be forced to undergo government-specified training and security checks and would be monitored by a national body, or risk losing government funding..
former premier ted baillieu has backed the plan that has been put to federal and state leaders including the prime ministers office, and premier daniel andrews..

What makes WT think they can reassign Bethel volunteers to be Regular Pioneers.
by Zoos inwhen the gb cuts loose 1600 volunteers, what makes them think they can continue telling them how they will spend their time?
i've read on many of these threads that the 1600 will be reassigned.
what, are they still under some sort of contract?.

I won't help out anyone who has criticized/bullied me in the past for working full time and not pioneering. It's your turn to "trust in Jehovah " suckers. -
