Watchtowers next big revenue stream!
by nowwhat? inevidently it would seem the wt sold the rights and will get royalties from "listen obey and be blessed.." this obviously is a trial balloon for what's to come.
kim and mikey alluded to this and i have been wondering why they are planning on spending hundreds of millions on a new movie studio in n.y. and also in australia just for the benefit of the few million jdub's.
well here's the answer, they are going to make money off the royalties from their music and video content selling to other church groups.

thanking anyone who can help me understand.

why would anyone want to join a trade union in the US after all
Because typically unions negotiate significantly better wages for the employees as well as fringe benefits, ie, health insurance (usually for the worker's entire family) and a pension plan. REMEMBER -- here in the USA we DO NOT have socialized health insurance. This is a BIG fringe benefit to employees.
PS--Something often not considered is that the health insurance premiums that the biz pays are NOT taxable to the employee. If they just received the actual cash and had to purchase their own insurance, the money would be taxes and they'd only receive 60-80% of it.
Compare wages in non-union (Right to Work States) vs union wages for the same trades. HUGE DIFFERENCE.
HOURLY RATE/TRADE (Actual pay scale is approx $25/hr less for cost of fringe benefits)
$55.75 Carpenter
$57.54 Bricklayer
$60,56 Heavy Equipment Operator
$48.50 Painter
$68,44 Plumber
$63,17 Electrician
$47.90 Commercial Laborer

Yes. Had this come up in what became a congregational matter between biz owner and his JW employees who decided to join a labor union. The owner tried to get the elders to beat the employees up with a WT article from the 1950's that said trade unions were tools of the devil. WT Service Desk said "things change" so never rely on old articles from 50 years ago.
Personal decision.

I'm not sure about the "heaven" part of it all, but I think it a good idea to expedite his departure.

Remember Mark Esper?
Trump just fired him this week.
Do you think it's a coincidence that Esper is on record for opposing the use of US Troops on US soil for any reason?

Do You Ever Wonder Where Are They Now?
by minimus ini remember so many witnesses who were pretty liberal minded.
i knew some that were the ones someone would talk to to get a “balanced “ perspective.
they were not hardliners.

And during the WT Study they'll spend 10 minutes discussing and "applying" the pictures as though they were real history discovered in an old box at the British Museum.

Now RUDY GIULIANI has petitioned to appear IN COURT on behalf of Trump in their PA election case.
I don't think they give a flying f*** about the PA Court other than to present the case and get a ruling (likely a loss) and move on. Rudy just said (don't recall what network) that their goal is to get to SCOTUS.
Deja vu 2000?
Can you say "rioting in the streets"? Get your ammo now, folks!

Collapse of JW Org - Possibly on the Horizon?
by JWTom inthis topics get a great deal of discussion here.
what i find interesting is even some of my pimi family is embracing the reality that all is not well with jw.org and that many current jws are just going through the motions due to not having a good way out of the org.
wondering what could realistically lead to the collapse of jw.org in the not distant future?

I agree that there will be a very gradual descent into almost nothingness. ~ Eden
Eden, I think you are indeed a prophet, because the fact of the matter is that WT/JW's are already at the point of "nothingness" to everyone except active JW's and Ex-JW's. No one else gives a shit about them. Especially now that they aren't waking people up early on Sat & Sun mornings.
