If the GB had any balls they would be in Russia or some dirt poor African country spearheading the work. I can remember years ago at summer conventions how strong, carefully worded resolutions against governments and religion and everyone applauds and thinks.how bold the organization is and I used to think what a load of bullshit--that really got governments and Catholics shaking in their boots.

Regarding this so called judgment message..
by nowwhat? inwill our fearless leaders the gb call a news conference and invite all the major news networks and outlets and put their asses on the line and declare "you are all doomed!
" or will they have the rank and file do all the dirty work while they sit back in their gated corporate country club?!
ask any jdub that question!.

WT doesn't sell anything in order to generate revenue like these other successful corporations
JW Gone Bad....... That's not quite right. Watchtower Corporation sells a hope of everlasting life. They made themselves a middleman for that "biblical hope" true or not, that is their product, what they sell, and according to them they ONLY have the exclusive right to market the hope.

What Is The Major Reason Jehovah’s Witnesses Exist?
by minimus ini understand that cults and religious groups will always exist.
but why do jehovah’s witnesses continue as a religion that people will join?.

Another aspect is being a witness relieves them of a guilty conscience for being a uninvolved citizen, because jeh is going to fix it all, don't donate to Worley causes, don't become involved in any citizen group, don't volunteer for any type of civic service, don't vote, don't run for office, don't express any political views. And don't feel guilty about it because jeh is gonna fix it all.

Good post, but as normal procedure for the corporation to buy surrounding properties. As mentioned they own properties around wat farm, Patterson. They will probably buy more around Tuxedo. They are flush with $$$$$$$.

Question about the Watchtower's Legal Team
by Wild_Thing inwhen they send their team of jw lawyers from bethel to various locations to argue the lawsuits against them, do they put them up in a hotel or do they make them stay with witness families?.

Yes, watchtower uses outside law firms and construction companies. Commercial contracting companies were heavily involved in Warwick construction. I know that for a fact. Why not? They got the money.
