if anyone was under the illusion that all baptized jw children become dedicated solely of their own volition, then hopefully this new video should be a wake-up call.. .

WTBTS and government money
by The JHWH in
1. watchtower
2. scandals
from what i understand is, that the wtbts isn't funded by (any?

) government(s).. this would be very understandable, in order to get money from a government, they would probably need to open their books,.

what i would like know is: has the wtbts appealed for government money?

Question for Dogpatch (Randy): What will it cost to produce the new 16-page Watchtower & Awake?
by Alfred in
1. watchtower
2. scandals
when literature used to be sold d2d, i remember how the society never missed an opportunity to trash other religions for "peddling god's word for profit" while boasting about how the watchtower only charges for the cost of the paper and ink.. in the book "witnesses of jehovah", the author mentioned that randall watters used to be involved in print cost analysis and determined that, while we were selling wt & awake mags for 20 cents door-to-door, it was really only costing the society 4 cents per copy to produce.

that's a whopping 400% profit!.

obviously, things have changed... the paper is different, as well as the ink and printing methods in general.

the wtbts-society is already lacking of young men, the need for elders in the future will increase drastically.. if i recall right, of those who are recruited on a later age (not born-ins), even up to 80-90% are female.. does anyone know if there is any kind of difference between genders regarding disfellowshipping?.
