Seems this thread has been around for a while so I'll add my two cents to it. I knew the brother that moved here (Walkill, NY) from California, bought a big place (land 200--350 acres forget exactly, house, buildings, cottages, lake) right next to Farm II (cattle farm) and some years latter gave it to Watchtower. Worth millions. I know people that donated the land for KH's. When I used to be on RBC I worked on some projects where the land was donated. Now, in Palm Beach Fla. there was a old sister (widowed I believe) who lived with her old brother in a mansion on the Alantic side. I had heard (reliable source) that she and her money would sometimes be used by the Society when the Society wanted to keep their business undercover. Anyway, she passed on, left enough for her brother to live and maintain the mansion and at his passing everything went to Society. Don't know how many millions that was.

Anyone Know JW's who Donated Inheritances, Estates,$$$ to WT Society ?
by flipper inif so - without divulging any names , approximately how much was donated to the wt society ?
if you are aware of approximate amounts.
as many know the wt society yearly puts out calls in their publications for witnesses to donate trust funds, wills, inheritances, estates, jewelry, cars and whatever else they have to promote the aleged " kingdom interests " in furthering the " good news " around the world.. personally i feel it's all been a scam to continue exercising control over witnesses by influencing them to financially deprive themselves so the wt society can continue it's operations.

Do You Think the Internet Currently Contains All Mankind's Accumulated Knowledge?

Absolutely NO. Just as a start the common knowledge and wisdom learned through life's experiences if not passed down often disappear with the person posessing it. But now if it's knowledge and wisdom you want the Wat & Awake mags hav................just kidding

Just wondering, between post 8 & 9 did you run out and buy a dictionary or get a Nephilim to help you with spelling and grammar? Are you on the GB? Welcome.

Remember ant farm experiments? Very narrow glass enclosures with soil and ants inside. You could see their tunnels and social structure. Then we could drop a black ant into a red ant farm just to see what happens....
Ever feel that earth and life on it is nothing but a experiment for some higher spirit life form? Like we are being watched and to the amusement of ???????? its "let's see how they react to this......
Not saying I believe that, but I would say that enough time has passed, enough suffering, enough inhumanity, that if Jeh. were trying to prove a point about rulership go ahead and make your point and then FIX it. I guess my biggest problem is how a loving God can watch all this bad and not act just to prove how wrong humans are and how right he is.

why not just let this unfaithful generation die out just like the unfaithful generation that never got to enter the promised land?.

Thanks for the replies, but I really don't need a profound or serious answer. Just trying out a new laptop and trying to lure Outlaw out with one of his pics. He cracks me up!
