Gorby observed, "...something that brings in money."
If you work the grift just right, starting a religion, or your own church, can bring in WADS of cash, tax-free.
Was I a bit too hasty in condemning EisMe? Hmmmmm....

Nonsense. "Mind of wisdom" my ass.
there is a lot of exjws who have been out 10-20-30-50 years, but for some reason, when they see a group of jehovah's witnesses, sitting by their carts, drinking coffee, scrolling through phones, laughing, something inside happens.
most can't explain it.
some say it makes their blood boil.
It is called "Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome," which should not be confused with "Kellogg Traumatic Stress Syndrome."
Post and Kellogg are two US breakfast cereal companies.

Well, they can't drink coffee or alcohol and can only drink water after enough salt has been added to float a fresh raw egg (see Naphthalene 3:7).
Sometimes I'm just silly.

i guess the end must be real close .
Hoser confessed, "Neither my wife nor I were born with the intelligence or family background to become medical doctors."
My comment wasn't about you personally. I intended to point out that a casual, unstructured (it seems I left some words out here; I meant to say "curiculum") like that will not produce a medical doctor

Hoser notified us, "We learned the skills we needed along the way."
OK, yes, that is a GOOD THING, but no one gets to be a medical doctor with a casual, unstructured like that.

i was interested by the suggestion in a recent discussion that rutherford was in some way preferable to fred franz, because i’ve not come across this view before.
it made me rethink my assumptions and try to work out why i hold the opposite view and prefer fred franz to rutherford.
i haven’t done any additional research, so i’m only drawing on what i can remember off the top of my head, but i thought i’d list a few things where i reckon fred franz’s approach was preferable to rutherford.
This is amusing to me, because to me this is a contest to decide the better of two evils. I understand that many here are in the "believers" class, but I'm not. I'm an atheist, and to me the entire issue sets off on the wrong foot:
First, with the assumption that there exists a "spirit realm" containing creatures both friendly and unfriendly to man. Maybe I should also add creatures who are indifferent to man's plight.
Second, that there *might* be elements of Watchtower dogma and expectations that are TRUTH.
It is like having an imaginary barrel that contains imaginary rotten, maggot-ridden fish and thinking, "Some of that fish might be tasty."
Rutherford was, MAYBE, an intelligent man whose major concern was HIMSELF, even to the exclusion of his wife and their son.
Franz was a religious fanatic who believed that he was "blessed" with special "spiritual" insight.
History has shown both of these fools to be LIARS.
Which LIES do you like more?
Even if you're "spiritually inclined," how can you think that there was any crumb on the table these guys set that was not poison?
If it was Tuesday and either one of them said it was Tuesday, I'd still check a calendar.
