Let's go sell magazines and pretend we are a religion. Better yet, let's get our kids to do the dirty work for us. We may sell more magazines, but we will destroy their lives but that is ok because we sell more magazines.
oh yep...here we go..... this weeks service meeting has a part designed to show how children should be indoctrinated and manipulated into going "out in service".
the part first asks for the disturbingly corny cartoon clip to be played on the big screen at the halls: "lets go out in service!".
(if you haven't watched it yet, please go to jw.org and watch it....you simply won't beleive it until you see it!).

every bit of this is about money.
from the small time jw.org magazine cart in front of the grocery store to the billions of dollars of real estate laundering.
it's all about the money.
Accepting the fact that everything is about money is very conforting. It helps explain just about everything and it is not, nor should it be - shocking.

Wow. A picture paints a 1,000 words.
i believe the jws are morphing into a mainstream social religious group.
we've long been taught we had the truth due to our suoerior doctrine.
it appears that the gb knows that their teachings are ludicrous and indefensible.
Is all they need to know is that they have the "truth." The details of what the"truth" means is irrelevent, because they have the truth.

truthseekeriam: “These guys will deny and deny, they are belligerent, they are arrogant, they treat victims as adversaries,” Zalkin said. “This is not an organization that is ready to accept the reality of what they have been doing.”
This is what the court system is all about. Punnish in the harshest way possible. This case has the possibility of opening up the floodgates of lawsuits and when it is over, 13.5 million will be a mere rounding figure to what is actually paid.

"Damages that reflect the reprehensible conduct of the Watchtower in how they covered this up for years and allowed multiple children to be injured,” said Zalkin. “They protected and harbored a criminal."
So, this is one of eight children. My guess that the Watchtower is in a heap of trouble.
when i was a hyperactive kid, i used to like boxing, and of course muhammad ali.
he was a great athlete, with a one-of-a-kind style who made a stand for his beliefs.. now that i'm older, i admire athletes that are quieter and get on with the job in hand - joe frazier, for example.. i'd like to put american racial politics and ali's tragic current condition to one side and focus on the following:.
how good a fighter was ali?.
Who but Muhannad Ali floated like a butterfly and stung like a bee?
Ali is a part of American history. His success is aligned with the success of Howard Cosell.

Has Tyson ever appeared on "The Odd Couple?" Actually, I don't think that Ali appeared, but Cosell appeard more than once. His success is attributed to Ali.
i am here for the first time ...but have enjoyed reading others experiences that i feel i can relate too.
i used to be an elder for more than 20 years .
i have successfully faded with my wife and children.
Welcome, I look forward to your comments.
about two years ago after i had resigned as a ms, two elders came by to "encourage" me.. the first line of questioning was if i still believed the gb was directing the org.. i asked him "not to interrogate me".. they tried to open to a series of scriptures.. i cut them off with this tasty zinger: "i'm not interested!"..
--.
they have not asked to see me since.. being direct has it's advantages.. .
"I'm not interested!". So when they left they marked their house to house record "NI."
You did them a favor, you gave them a means of classifying your status.
