I will bet you money the elders had a clue that he had a porn problem. I feel terrible for his Wife. This will be interesting to see how the investigation shakes out.

maybe these occupations are quoted to make a point, but it loses meaning when maybe 1% of brothers i know actually has these as jobs..

Funny,
in my congregation there are 5 brothers with businesses providing carpet and window services. I have had to hire custodians on occasion in my line of work. 80% of janitorial and window companies are run by witnesses in my geographical area. People even crack jokes about it " jw's might be a effing cult but at least they are a clean people"

Why doesn't the faithful & discreet slave declare their identity outside of the JW community?

certainly the identity of god's chosen messenger is bigger than any other current news, right?

i'm not saying j.r. needs to do a press conference, but at the least they could publish it in their public literature.

why keep it a big secret?

This is tragic all the way around. I feel so bad for both families. Obviously Holt was a psychopath and deserves the death penalty. It is sad proof that there are creeps in all religions including the witnesses regardless of what they claim. It is a tragic waste of life and my heart hurts for Whitney's husband.
(I wonder though if the elders will have enough on Brother Holt to df him since there is not yet a confession or two witnesses?)

I said screw it and shared the new light with a loved one last night. The format I used was cedars blog and my iPad. This persons reaction was " now they are just pulling stuff out of their butt".
one question that I asked was, if the fds didn't exist until 1919 (which is based on 1914's supposed events), then how was the extremely important date of 1914 arrived at without the slaves involvement? That struck a chord, mand the response was "that's a great point! None of it makes sense."
Cedars, please keep up the good work! You are helping in ways that you don't even know.

Watch Tower Property Sell Off Wiki List:

$405 million in sales since 2004. And much of the sales in a down market.
Wow, its not a religion it's a developer.
Selling assets like this in a slump is usually indication of a cash crunch. Costs are up, donations are down, Legal costs have gone through the roof, this organization is much like a rich guy with cancer. Plenty of money now, but bills mounting and limited prospects for the future.

I have had to restrain myself from talking about this nooolite until it is published. I am however dropping hints to my family like.....
"it seems as if the Governing Body is directing an awful lot of attention to themselves over the past several years"
"The only thing that makes sense about the FDS doctrine is that the apostles were part of the FDS in the 1st century, their works clearly showed that God was behind them" ; "Now with the pedophile scandal its hard to imagine that God is directing the organization"
"it seems as if the GB are just making things up as they go along, the more things change the more they stay the same"
