I served as a MS while attending university. No special connections; my father was, I believe, a MS at the time, but no relatives who were elders or anything. This was 7-8 years ago; I understand they have since renewed their harder stance on higher educations.

Has anyone ever gotten disfellowshipped for going to University?
by SonoftheTrinity injehovah's witnesses claim no one is disfellowshipped for pursuing higher education.
somehow it seems there must be some halfwit sorry excuse for an elder somewhere who personally felt threatened by over educated young whippersnappers and decided to mark every nerd he could point his sweaty little finger with.

I doubt that the media outlets who have permission to record the proceedings will do any kind of live broadcast or publish the entire proceeding. More likely, they will consider including clips from the oral argument in a piece prepared for one of their investigative journalism / news magazine shows. Sorry if this isn't helpful. Oral arguments tend to be rather dry, if that's any consolation. -

If a salesman worked 11,000 hours for one sale he'd be fired as a dismal, time-wasting slug.
Depends what you are selling. If it's for a sale of some vitamins or cosmetics, yes. But maybe not if it takes 11,000 hours to sell one $45 Million private jet. JWs will tell you that what they are selling is the most valuable thing in the world blah blah, so of course the hours are worth it.

It appears from the First Appellate District's site that all of its regular oral argument sessions are held at 350 McAllister St, San Francisco. -

A possible way for the Watch Tower to generate revenue via their website.
by adjusted knowledge inearlier in the week someone posted the potential value of the jw website based on visits and if they used advertisements.
many stated they would never do that but i propose they could.. besides their real estate profit making business model, they have the conventions as cash generating machines.
they give directions to their members to which hotels/motels to use.

They have a direct link to Roku and are using their logo.
Interesting point, Listener. I wonder if they get any revenue from that.

Media request to record/broadcast oral argument; from ABC News New York

I don't think they will just drop the appeal after so much time and expense just because the news will be there. It wouldn't surprise me if they tried to settle now though. What do they owe, around 11 million? It wouldn't surprise me if they may have tried to offer to drop the appeal now if she will take less. Maybe $4 or 5 million? -

I will be surprised if they ever allow advertising on their website, no matter how money hungry they are. It will come across as just too crass, and not for very much money in the grand scheme. Even large companies, whose purpose is to earn profit, rarely advertise on their own sites (except for their own products), as it's not very tasteful. Web traffic money is nothing compared to what they could have earned for advertising on their high visibility Brooklyn buildings over the years. -

Rivercrest Luxury Apartments
by tezrichmond ini was totally p***d off about watchtower teaching u should keep your life simple and not investing in treasures in the earth etc while they are buying luxury apartments and forcing its residents out on the street including children.

if any from uk want to launch a complaint go to http://www.frsb.org.uk/donors/.

It's not like they are frittering money away. Real estate is historically a fairly profitable investment vehicle. They've sold hundreds of millions of dollars worth of property in Brooklyn over the past few years. Aren't they entitled to reinvest some of that money in property elsewhere to essentially serve the same purpose as the Brooklyn property?
Complain about this if you feel strongly about it, but it seems like there are so many other things more worth griping over.

This issue is probably specific to you or your browser. My posting box just shows up at the bottom. Have you tried downloading Chrome? It tends to have less of these types of issues. But hopefully Simon can get it resolved in any event. -

WTBT$/JW's = AMWAY/MLM Schemes
by Darth Fader The Sequel inall of the wts tactics and procedures are based off of your most basic mlm (multi-level marketing) schemes.
take your pick of amway, or any of the other vitamin or financial mlm's.
they all work the exact same way.
