God is editor of the WT
by Earnest inin an earlier thread reference was made to a court case in which fred franz stated that jehovah god was editor of the "watch tower".
as this quotation is often used to support the allegation that jws believe the wt is inspired of god i thought it would be of wider interest to provide the relevant court record for general consideration.. the court case itself was in 1940 and was olin moyle against fred franz and others and the wtbts.
just so that you know who is who, hayden covington was attorney for the defendants and walter bruchhausen was attorney for the plaintiff.

watchtower finances
by oscartheduck inif revenues for brooklyn bethel per year alone are equivalent to 951 million dollars, then this is about 158.5 per witness(given six million witnesses).. there's more money than that coming in worldwide, because of the other bethels in the world.. .
so, where does the money come from?
i think that should be checked into...or my maths should be checked into.. .

Either way, some reassurance is necessary here, because the figures look odd to me, given that most of the witnesses I've known aren't putting anywhere near that into the congregation coffers per year.

The above reminds me of a joke.
When do you know that you've had a thick *ahem* cum?
When she has to chew before she can swallow

The Great '75 Fiasco: Pantsuits
by TMS inbeing the host congregation for the district assembly, we were privileged to hear several talks from the convention administrative staff wetting our appetite for the 1975 convention held at barton coliseum, little rock, arkansas.. one short-statured brother from the southern part of the state kept exhorting the sisters: "now, pay attention!
there's going to be a dramatic announcement at the assembly that will just thrill you sisters!
" as much hype as this was getting, the only speculation that i could conjure up was that sisters might be allowed to speak directly to the audience in the tms.. after the meeting, the vertically-challenged speaker could not restrain himself in conversation with brother p. and myself.

Is this going to contain another reference to the surely infamous 1931 Watchtower, which, after the article about cats goes onto an article regarding the do's and don'ts of fashion?

Just to make it clear, the information regarding CESNUR on my first post (ie "Jehovah's Witnesses Join 'Babylon the Great' Interfaith Effort
Jehovah's Witnesses have always claimed to be against interfaith 'contamination' considering all religions other than Jehovah's Witnesses "false" and collectively making up "Babylon The Great" (Rev. 17). However, seeking to join a forum gathering of sociologists and other religious organizations in a united effort for silencing secular and government critics through "CESNUR", the JWs have officially broken with their past history of shunning other religions and have opted to participate with the Church of Scientology, the Unification Church, the Transylvanian Society of Dracula, and other groups. Public awareness by anti-cult forces caused their cancellation from this CESNUR forum claiming "previous engagements."") is all a quote from their website.
I could have made this clearer, but thought quotation marks were enough, as they usually are. -

Can even hear babies cry. How apt.
There's more of em at http://www.watchtowernews.org/wav/wav.htm
I'm sure most of you already know about these, but I'm pretty sure I saw some new names around (newer than mine), so I thought it was worthwhile posting.
