@Londo - That would be enormous, enough to dent the faith of at least some of the JW faithful...but most would just say, "imperfect men" and keep on worshiping the GB.
@ob - Fascinating article. Beth Shan had a secret bomb shelter, wow.

Anyway, hope this yields some "new light". I found it fascinating and thought that this tape had been lost. (I recorded it in 1990 on VHS)
This is from the description:
-----------
This film footage was recorded sometime in the early to late 1930s. It shows the Beth Sarim mansion and grounds being built, and then later the Watchtower Society president Joseph Rutherford walking around the recently built Beth Sarim.
Some have felt that he is "too happy" in several scenes, where he kisses fruit, twice sticks out his tongue, and appears to be in a very uninhibited frame of mind.
Each can judge for himself. The footage is grainy but is surprisingly well preserved.

notice these two attorneys opining on this case.. http://watchtowerleaks.com/tagged/child-molestation.
Like it on Facebook. Email the link to friends and families. Talk to local press and media. Send letters to ABC, CBS, etc.
These are how ALL of us can get involved and help bring pressure on the WT to change their disgusting policies that allow this to continue to happen.
well so far it is a fantastic day!
i know my grandma isn't going to call me like she does every year to say she is happy i was born.
you know the jw form of wishing someone a happy birthday.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HOPE U HAVE A BIG BASH!
"You say it's Your Birthday? It's my birthday too yeah!"

time specific and non jw related (e.g.
Use your best judgement Simon and keep cleaning house.
as the "truth about the truth' (delusional thinking bible interpetations) becomes more wide spread and the rate of jws leaving the clutches of the wt corporation increases a war/battle results, it is true some are just happy to get out with no need to inflict any retaliatorial injury to the corporation that held them hostage through deciet.
many on the other hand want to get their families out of this cult and a restoration of their good name from the cruel slander of an organization that has made a fortune off of their free labor and now forbids it members to have anything to do with them causing a great loss in former friends and family members.
is retailiation in order for these offenses?
Interesting thread Frankie thanks... we are gonna kick WT$ ass by attrition.
this may be a weird request but it helps keep my identity, and ip address anonymous.

despite everything, i still have a lingering admiration toward those who serve or have served in bethel.
it is not that i believe it is gods organization in any way, shape, or form.
That's the point Bangalore- The downsizing of Bethelites shows that the WT Corp is like most (if not all) big companies, protecting their bottom line at all costs.
