  i have just started watching the 2015 annual meeting on jw broadcasting and if the first hour of the program is any indicator, i may not be able to finish it.

  the rollout of the new midweek meeting by the two gb helpers was just too much.

  replete with headphone mics and witty repartee, these guys were very apple-esque, or at least that was what they intended, i think.

  This is shows no respect for their 'elders' as in wise men. Don't want anyone in there who might be reasonable.

  He should have said:

  "These adjustments are not being done because of a lack of financial support on your part, but as you know - we are being sued up the ass for the way we've mishandled sexual abuse cases all these years, and funds have been diverted from the Kingdom work to make up for our negligence in this regard.

  Nevertheless, we are confident Jehovah is guiding us in all matters...."

  Is this clip on JW Broadcasting? I'd love to talk to my mom or friend about it, but if it's not on that site, then I don't want to bring it up and blow my cover because it is not publicly available.

  When he is reading those scriptures, it just makes me think about how much those apply to the Governing Body.

  Especially as more and more has become clear about how the GB decides on things - the story of the Wheat and the Weeds has come to mind. I was always taught that Jesus was looking for the Wheat - his followers. But that the Weeds would look so similar, that they could not be recognized until the Harvest. My question has become:

  What if the JWs are a WEED and don't know it? I wonder how JWs would expect God to deal with them as sincere persons who were lead astray. Would he destroy them without mercy as they currently feel will be done to all those who are not JW?

  The hypocrascy is nausiating.

  This was bothersome to me:

  A brother who has grown children not living at home may also be recommended if his children continue to serve Jehovah and have a good reputation.

  Maybe this is why some parents, particularly fathers pester their otherwise happy non-attending grown children. It may not be as much about the children as it is the a need to satisfy the fathers desire for more "privileges" such as a convention or circuit part or talk.

  WT Society SEC Records : Hedge Funds, Cayman Islands, Financial Losses - Links

  by flipper in

  so my wife and i were curious so i researched some financial links and found records indicating that the wt society has been operating at a loss since the year 2012. as you read the links it shows a loss of 10 million $$$ in 2012, about 16 million $$$ in 2013, and a whopping loss of 56 million $$$ in 2014 - where the expenditures exceeded the revenues for each of those years in the amount i've mentioned.

  also there is a link on this same website with the sec records indicating that the wt society and it's representatives funneled 40 million $$$$ into hedge funds in the cayman islands as early as 2007. if you look online on other sites you can see evidence that indicates the wt society attended hedge fund conferences to look into more shadiness in 2011 and isn't it curious that by 2012 the wt society started showing losses.

  anyway here is the link : https://www.watchtowerlies.com/the_watchtower_revenue.html .. feel free to check this link out and other links on that link indicating the cayman island connection.

  So then, we don't know that they are really losing any money. It is easy if you have multiple entities to simply move money around by charging one of your businesses for the services of another. Nothing illegal there, but a common strategy.

  I doubt that these numbers, especially if they are the only ones publicly available, reflect anything real.

  What I read looked like it was for WT Canada...how are those numbers related to WT USA or any of the other entities worldwide? What are the real numbers? Can those numbers be verified on any website that is not "apostate"?
