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.
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.

i don't know what to do.... i married last year and things have been very rocky.
we dated for 4 years and did have normal issues but always had a lingering doubt something was just not right in our relationship-behavior to be more specific, he is not a jw, but i am.
yes i know i married outside the "lord" but after my first marriage to a jw ended in divorce for physical abuse, i was glad i didn't married another jw.
I think you need to do some research about Aspergers. This isn't personal to you - his response is how his brain is wired. If you love him, do some research and get some help to figure out what YOU need to do. This kind of interaction is one thing that people with Aspergers struggle with - but it doesn't mean that your relationship has to fail.
This has a lot to do with you being willing to accept him as he is, and see how to support him so that you both get what you want/need out of the relationship. It won't be a fast process, but if he is open and there is progress being made, then he deserves a chance to have this work.

since this will be the norm in america, perhaps we should put a date on each of these topics.
can't really put school mass shooting because too many to choose from.
This is in my neck of the woods. About 3 hours south of where I live in Portland. Plus, they are my clients so I'm waiting to hear if anyone I know was involved. :-(
guess the overlapping generation concept is difficult for most to comprehend.
david spane does his best to explain it again.
the cutoff date for this generation has now moved to 1992 (was once 1935), the year that fred franz died.
And yet again,
"But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."Mt. 24:36
"But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Mark 13:32
"He said to them: "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority" Acts 1: 7
So WHY are we wasting time trying to figure it out instead of working on our character?
