Wat executives in charge of the big decisions and big money really have no personal stake in how a deal works out. It's not their money they are playing with, no matter how it works out there is no accountability, and personally they have nothing, so big wheeling and dealing inflates their egos big time. I personally knew brothers involved in this type of deal making and some of them got so impressed with themselves they would barely even talk to a "common" brother anymore. It's as if they are playing a monopoly game with real money. Someone mentioned the Kent ass. hall failure. They blew hundreds of thousands tring to make that deal work. When it didn't work all they had to say is wasn't Jeh. will. Game over, let's start a new one.

Tons and tons of literature
by pontoon inhow does the borg count placements, what is reported and tabulated by the congregations or by how much goes out the doors of their printing facilities?
out of all the lit printed, how much of it gets read?
how much lit gets stacked away gathering dust, thrown away and discarded each month?

I thought about this today as I was putting out my trash/recycling for pickup today. Every week I put some lit out, 20-30 mags, 5 or 6 books, I don't want to overwhelm the pick-up guys too much at once. I've been doing this for months.

This is all funny because years and years ago I knew a new brother, very "into it" that made tribulation/armegeddon survival preparations, food, first aid , gallons of water........ Make a long story short, he was counseled for not relying on Jeh.

True, many JW's are suckers and naive, even ignoring Wat counsel not to get involved in get rich quick schemes, BUT many, many JW'S believe that they are really SO much smarter than the average bird, not knowing how not smart they really are.
