This IC is very big news for witnesses and the attendence in Rutherford was over 140,000!
I'd guess witnesses have no clue about the conte case, or the shunning issues in Finland. Probably will never hear about it or pay any attention to it.
My jw brother would say it was made up by the media which is run by Satan anyway.
a relative called and said another relative called them and mentioned some book about the life of rutherford and russell.
is this correct?
i wouldn't be surprised if they were publishing more 'white washed' information to try to diffuse the facts people are learning when doing real research.
I like it. I'm up to chapter 7. It is not meant to replace the Proclaimers book and it refers the reader back to that book several times.

i was going to say "i could do with a leak" but that would sound wrong.
so i'll rephrase, has anyone got a leaked copy of the new dvd released at the district sorry regional convention this year?.
Hi wifibandit! Welcome!
apparently jwd has lost all their moles.. hasn't anyone even been to a convention?.
usually we know in advance..
I recieved some literature today including the new book "God's Kingdom Rules!"
A nice surprise from a sister who attended the IC this weekend- attendence was over 140,000! This was at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ! She said it was fantastic & she was very glad she went.
The book looks very well designed. I plan to start reading it today.
warwick precursory site work on the watchtower bible and tract society's 45-acre jehovahs witnesses world headquarters project in sterling forest has been completed, meaning construction of the planned eight-building complex on long meadow road along the warwick-tuxedo town line is poised to begin in earnest.. the warwick town board on june 12 agreed to reduce watchtower's town-mandated $33.103 million performance bond by a third to signify the completion of approximately one-third of the project.. .
bond reduction totals $11.114 million.
watchtower bible and tract society of new york associate general counsel richard moake and spokesman david c. day, a newfoundland attorney who has represented jehovah witness clients in significant canadian religious freedom rulings, said the $11.114 million bond reduction means preliminary site work has been completed and inspected.. .
DJS-
I agree-it is what the witnesses need, but this gb is the opposite and will stay that way.
If any change can come, it would take a new gb to replace this one.
And yes , money & more money is all they care about.
We see this in the continuous reductions in the printing budget:
no more mail subscriptions, g only once a month, study w not distributed to public, public w & g reduced to 16 pages, most books produced as softcovers, more emphasis on tracts and brochures offered door to door, no books used in fs campagns except Teach book.
More emphasis on jw.org pdfs rather than getting printed copies, having congs print out forms or get them from Staples? or was it Cost Cutters?
I imagine the km will also be printed by the local cong off of the web site eventually and tracts too.
Transferring Brooklyn's printing & binding operations to Wallkill, followed 6 years later by transferring Wallkill's magazine operations to Canada.
Consoladating from 42 printing branches in 1992 to 14 today.
Selling presses and running others on 2 shifts, closing branches-
all to save money. What do they do with the money?
They are benefiting from it that is for sure. It is all about the money.
A new kinder, more open, less judgemental, sincere and caring, honest gb are needed. But how do you get one?

as the conventions are in full swing, and my relatives who are still in make a point to tell me what their vacation will include.
i am reminded of a couple of things about conventions i do not normally think about.. one, the people who would protest the conventions.
some with bags on their head, others just holding signs.
I remember sometimes seeing protesters outside the gates at Vet Stadium in Philly. I had no inclination to listen to them at all. They would put flyers on the cars windsheilds in the parking lot. I remember one time going around, removing them and tearing them up, throwing them out.
I think the protesters made a bad impression which caused witnesses NOT to listen to them.
Apognophos- I'm interested in seeing that new book.
I wonder if my jw brother and sister in law are bothered in anyway that armageddon still has not come and the "short while" has been 100 years now. Of course, if they had doubts they would never tell me.
