Joe134cd, interesting reply, very standard reply, meaning that all is well in their paradise and they don't want to hear it. I guess there is peace when you just put your head in the sand.

Remember what happened in 2005?
by Terry inwould any of us defend the right of a medicine manufacturer to advertise curative powers without side effects when evidence to the contrary was indicated?.
would any of us defend the right of a pharmacist to make up his own prescriptions and pass it off as what our physician specifically gave to us?.
would any of us approve equal time for tv advertisers to promote products as effective which had repeatedly proved to be dangerous?.

I wonder if copyright infringement means anything when WTBTS lets you download, use, and print information for free? They say they don't want it posted on the internet, but these are people that give their literature away and leave in in phone booths and laundry mats?

The UNFORGIVABLE Sin: What Is It?
by Cold Steel injesus said: .
verily i say unto you, all sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme: but he that shall blaspheme against the holy ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.

WTBTS has an all out war on education beyond the very minimum. They continue demonizing education:
"15 What is the atmosphere in many of this world’s institutions of higher education? Are they not at times hotbeds of political and social unrest? (Eph. 2:2) By contrast, Jehovah’s organization provides the highest form of education in the peaceful setting of the Christian congregation.
Higher education, with its emphasis on academic study, often produces graduates who have few or no practical skills, leaving them unprepared to deal with the realities of life. By contrast, Jehovah’s servants choose education that helps them to develop the necessary skills so that they can maintain a simple life of service to God." (Watchtower, October 15, 2013)
The article entitled "Slave for Jehovah" should have been entitled "Slave for the self-appointed members of the Governing Body". This article was nauseating.

Ding, you are correct. My experience with trying to reason with Witnesses of their contraditions, flip flops, and new light/old light discussions, they just don't want to hear it, Period. Good comment.

What about setting up a booth for each one of their booths, with literature and website information bringing attention to the truth of jehovah's witnesses for public awareness to cults.

The Watchtower Corporations Money Making Schemes Need Some Restructuring To Survive
by frankiespeakin inthe primary money making for the watchtower corporation has been to scam people into being door to door saleman for their product for free or practically for free.
bethel is all run by unpaid workers who claim a vow of poverty, bad for the worker but lucrative for the corporation.. now this printing of literature business must be loosing money now that they went over to a free will donation and not asking for a dollar amount in return for the stuff they produce.
so what are some possible restructuring that they can do to offset this downward trend in income?.

Realestate flipping, using "volunteer" labor to maintain, rebuild, build, etc, they have also slipped into providing the cars for the CO's that I believe is a money maker for them, as is their insurance programs for the congregations.
Relief work WTS does with volunteer labor in areas of disaster is all done with volunteer labor, and many donated materials, but they encourage the publishers to donate the full amount of insurance received from the real insurance companies to the society.
They have the assembly halls to fleece several times a year, if your old and wealthy they are interested in your money.
They have money invested in stock portfolios and hedge funds that most of us do not have access to. It looks like they are going out of the printing business by the size of the magazines, and hammering these other areas as they still claim a non-profit status on all their endeavors.

Suing the WTB&TS for their failure of duty of care towards Jehovahs Witnesses/volunteers when furthering their cause
by smiddy inas an illustration/example : the two mature age women who were mauled by a dog recently who underwent a horrific experience when they were engaged in feild service for the wtb&ts and needed medical treatment and hospital care , if they had so chosen to do so ,couldnt they have sued the organization for their failure of duty of care ?
how many more such cases happens that we dont hear about ?
injuries at conventions , in field service ,on the way ,driving to field service or assemblys , accidents etc.

Bob_NC, good points. That has always irritated me, the congregation paying "insurance premiums" but they can't ever make a claim. I wonder how many "insurance" companies would be in business today? Not from the lack of payouts on claims, but because the lack of business? WTBTS makes money off of the "insurance" they sell to the congregations, and state to the congregations that it is lower in price and more comprehensive than a worldly company would offer. However, there are laws that regulate the world's insurance companies that WT never has to abide by. Another point of them avoiding regulations because of their Non-Profit status.
