Same ol' tired leftist inferences that racism had anything to do with this despite zero evidence to support it...the only racism that exists here is with Obama and his puppet media and his dbag AG Eric Holder.

Maybe Tm was afraid to go home

If he was afraid then why did he come back to GZ's area and attack GZ?

If you were on the Zimmerman jury, how would you vote? 2nd degree murder, manslaughter or innocent?

a guy with deadly force made the mistake of his life.

I wouldn't think of self-defense as a 'mistake'.

How much money does the R&F give to the WT?

that is a very difficult question to answer since the wt doesnt publish its accounts.

but some countries require from charities to make public theirs finances.

i've been thought the wt accounts published for canada, uk and new zealand for 2012. .

The thing is most of the money that pubs donate was to fund local expenses. I only counted monies sent to the WWW slush fund. I forgot about though was the Kingdumb hall fund, and traveling overseer fund, which is pilfered from local contributions. So if you add that it is about 100-200 more per month more for the cong I did accounts in. So that comes out to about 93 million roughly 30% more, so ballpark it at 325 million per year for U.S.

The other really annoying thing is that all congregations are "encouraged" to put their excess funds on loan to the WT$.

This is difficult to measure, but I did the accounts in two congregations and here is a poor attempt. I think the average that was sent to the WWW monthly was somewhere between 450-600 dollars with occasional spikes. For the sake of argument let's just lowball it to account for poor U.S. congregations at $400. There are roughly 13,000 US congregations. So if we multiply 400 * 13,000 (congregations) * 12 (months in a year) we get roughly 62 million a year for the largest contributor nation. There really is no other single country with more than 1 million pubs so it's downhill from here when you factor in other countries. I would hazard a guess based on this at somewhere between 200-250 million per year world wide. You can make a little money go quite far when you've been collecting for over a century, and have all volunteer labor, and play your real estate cards well.

Dropping itty bitty bits of Truth About The Truth to other Witnesses!

this'll probably get me disfellowshipped eventually but it's been hella fun!.

so lately every time an opportunity arrises while speaking to other jdubs at the meetings or assemblies or even just overhearing their conversations about new light or new publications, service, anything really i drop little things that pass unoticed by most but make some stop and think for a minute.. for example, after one sunday meeting, a brother came up to me with about 5 other jdubbies to poke fun at me saying, "i thought you said you never sat at the front?!

huh?

Too funny, it's amazing what you can get away with when you really don't care anymore.

The other day I got into a conversation about Warwick with my sister, and she said that the slave is selling properties in brooklyn and they must know something. So I asked: "well, what do you think they know." After grasping for words for a few seconds I filled in the blanks for her -- albeit in a subtle way. I said: "well yea, after 120 years they have gotta do something to get flock stirred up." No laughs after 5 seconds of silence on that one. I don't think dubs stop and realize just how long this scam has been going on.

What Is The Most Absurd JW Belief or View?

by minimus in

jw

there are many silly doctines and viewpoints.. one of the strangest ones is the blood doctrine.. why anyone could logically accept this belief is beyond reason..

tootired2care

That Jesus came down to earth invisibly in 1918 and selected them from all the worlds religions as his channel. Think about this way, the way JW's did things in 1918 would be considered apostate by JW standards today. So in essence they are no longer doing things in the way that was supposedly approved by Jesus if one were to actually believe that cow pie.

@designs - tootired says- 'these fools want to riot', 3 people with signs, peacefully I might add.

Good let's hope it stays that way even if he is aquitted when the actual verdict is delivered; that is the real test. I lived through the L.A. riots, it happened then, and it can happen again.

Also that's not what I said, stop taking things out of context (how very WT$ of you). I said: " If these fools want to riot because they don't like the verdict I hope the good citizens and police of Florida stand their ground, and vigorously defend themselves from this tryanny." I don't hope there is a riot, I would like to see justice done in spite of pressure from radical elements of our society and the liberal news media who convicted him on day 1.
