  i`m just curious about the travel arrangements of the g.b.members when they travel overseas to conventions in europe , africa , australia , etc.. is their any verifiable documents /receipts etc.

  that prove they stay in the most up market hotels , or fly first class in planes ?, being treated like v.i.p.`s ?.

  no human being is exempt from the temptations of abusing his power or position of authourity , especially when big money is involved , and the g.b.

  (I can't imagine a hard-drinking, hard-fornicating individual like Richard Burton actually "enjoying" a conversation with a cyborg like Knorr....)

  I bet he used that conversation as inspiration to his character in the 1984 movie.

  If the organization is all about money.....

  by Pete Zahut in

  then why would they be so insistent about dfing people ?

  if it's money the watchtower org is after, it seems like they'd want to hold on to all the members they can.. how would you answer this logic?.

  Good question.

  It's related to purpose. Purpose + Money.

  WT wants money by accomplishing their purpose.

  Their purpose is to control, micro management of 7mi of people around the world. And they want money doing that because it's their purpose.

  Your question is the same of "Why Google does not make food?" or "Why McDonalds does not make software?".

  They could turn the WT in a big fast food company if you think just in money. But they don't want to abandon their purpose in first place.

  WT purpose: Listen Obey and Be Blessed. Control, control, control....

  by SonoftheTrinity in

  in other words, can i use a loanword.

  or a parochial phrase of an english based dialect.

  or a short motto from another language along with a translation without being in violation.

  If you not post in english or portuguese (the languages I understand) I'll not be able to read what you are trying to share.

  You know, we are trying to build a tower to heaven here, so we have to speak the same language.

  But we can try Java...

  I think it's very disrespectful sport players praying for victory. Praying players deserves to lose.

  (Theists take note: the inefficiency of prayer demonstrated in front of the eyes of millions.)

  LOL! Very true! Or maybe Jehovah is a german fan, theists are full of excuses...
