I have no way to know for sure but my guess is, if you include everything, probably 3 billion dollars. The wts are extremley secretive when it comes to finances, they probably have more than what we even imagine.

What if you were a JW during WWII? Would you give in to Hitler and fight?
by Brother Mike inso i pose this question to everyone.
if you were a jw and lived in germany in wwii, how would you deal with the harsh cruelity of hitler?
would you join his side so you may have a chance to live (meaning you'd serve in the miliatry and be on the front line) or would you keep on serving god and be executed?

Being I am Jewish I would not have been given a choice. I would have fought against the nazis and tried to escape and tried to help others escape.

Were you surprised when you went in service for the first time....
by Muddy Waters inwere you surprised when you went in service for the first time (this question is prob for those who were not born-in) --.
when i first had the "privilege" of going in field service as an unbaptized publisher, i remember feeling so surprised at everybody's apparent slowness.
all the talks at the kh emphasized how we were in the last days, doing a life saving, critical, never to be repeated, work, etc., yet you get in the car group and ignore people walking right by or coming toward the car, and then slowly walk from house to house.

I remember the first door I spoke at- I was so nervous I did not even say hello! Of course the man was not interested but the sister who worked with me told me I did a good job. Not far away my brother also had his first time talking at the door!
I was not disappointed but when I first heard them talking about field service at the meetings for some reason having picnics in the park came to mind!
I remember sisters doing the pioneer shuffle, you have to enjoy the time, see the flowers, the sky, etc. Of course the pios had to get their time in.
I loved during rural territory, the long ride to the territory, only having to get out once or twice as we took turns & waited in the car. I liked that!
Of course stopping for coffee and toasted bran muffins was a highlight! Eventually it morphed into going out for lunch after fs, which made getting up early and going door to door worth it!
Sometimes I did feel relieved when no one answered the doors.
designs- that was some experience you had!

Marked.
Yes I used to believe those things too.
Then I found out I believed in it for nothing.
rebel8-thanks for posting those!
Remember, The Watchtower and Awake! only print the truth as published by the faithful slave who are directed by Jehovah's spirit. So armaggedon WILL come before the end of the 20th century. Something to look forward to!
The Watchtower and Awake! can not print lies, now can they?

The List, by "Prominent Bethelite"
by morloc ini occasionally pop through here to catch up on the latest, but this time i'm going to pop my own post on here.. some of you internet oldsters may even remember this.
my first experience on the internet regarding discussions about jehovah's witnesses and the watchtower took place on a now-obscure usenet group, before i eventually stumbled across hourglass2.. during those days, there was a poster who went by the name "prominent bethelite," an otherwise anonymous individual whom i remember most for an extensive, exhaustive compilation of date-oriented remarks, predictions, and expectations by the watchtower organization down through the decades of its history.. it became known as "the list" and it's definitely lengthy... but a fascination look at the abundance of errant statements made through the watchtower's history.. if you're curious, it's been available for a long time on hourglass2's site, and can be seen using the link provided below.. the list, compiled by prominent bethelite (1999).
that's about it for this stop through here.

The WT Isn't Going Away (sorry got long)
by LostGeneration ini've seen more threads and comments in the last week about the "demise of the wt" than in some time.
several were on threads about the donation arrangement and how its going to backfire in some way on the wt.
oh and the lone elder who was pissed in some sort of passive-aggresive manner about it when he presented the resolution.

Just to mention about book production. They still print a huge number of books each year. In 2012 they printed over 80 million, in 2013 it was over 100 million and will likely be over 100 million agaiin this year.
The study magazines, large print and simplified English are still 32 pages.

$3 Billion class action lawsuit on behalf of Jehovahs Witnesses children
by mind blown indecember 1, 2012. australia.
a $3 billion class action lawsuit is being launched in australia on behalf of up to 6,160 children within the church of jehovahs witnesses.
documents relating to the class action reveal over 14,000 serious criminal breaches of mandatory child protection laws, committed against these children by elders and ministers of religion within the church of jehovahs witnesses over the past 4 years.. the victorian government inquiry into the handling of child abuse by religions and other organisations is currently investigating the allegations, and is expected to hold a public hearing in relation to this in early 2013.. http://jwnewsnetwork.wordpress.com/2012/12/01/3-billion-jehovahs-witnesses-class-action-over-child-abuse/.

This was recently brought to my attention.
Could it be the gb thinks this is a REAL threat to them? Maybe this is why they have the new donation arrangement and keep cutting the printing budget and selling off more branches?
