What If The Tower Fell?

by Big Dog in

what if the truly unthinkable happened and the tower went down?

perhaps the irs swooped in and claimed fraud and padlocked the headquarters and kingdom hall doors?

or the gb took the money and ran to a nice non-extradition country to live out their years?

the watchtower is falling now in 2012 the watchtower closed 20 branch offices around the world and have cut back vastly on the magazines rather than new ones every month they are only 4 times a year or so and on the carts these past few week they were giving out magazines printed in 2021 and 2020.and of course they have sols of 1,000s of kingdom halls off

Governing body

by moley in

are the governing body really in charge or are they just a figurehead with the real power being behind the curtain .

if you have a branch office in a poor country if you only have 100 people living there and it costs only $10 a week for food and other bills in a year thats $52,000, how many branches in africa and asia are paying their way ???.if they follow the advice of the watchtower its dont go to collage ,dont get full time jobs .T he mormon cult have given $30 million to the world food programe.but mormons do go to collage and they even have some of their own

yes its shrinking they are still selling kingdom halls of now after many years of doing it and expecting people with low paid part time jobs to keep paying bills is not a good finance model

Thought on “0 hours” reporting

by FFGhost in

so everyone knows the “big news” of this past weekend, no more reporting of hours, placements, return visits, etc.

beginning november 1, jws just tick a box indicating whether they “shared in any form of the ministry during the month”.. so there was a brief comment by a redditor that seems like a brief joke “throwaway comment” but after thinking about it….why not?.

the idea is, what is “any form of the ministry”?

pepperheart2

in a big city with over a million people the jws had 4 or 5 trolleys going and they all had magazines printed in either 2021 or 2020.

why i think the watchtower is going for zero hours is so that they do not have to print as many magazines each time so saving money.because if you are going from door to door you are more likly to give out magazines or even single page tracts that they fold up (these days) but most people on the trolleys they just stand there by the trolley with nothing to hand. and if the numbers do go down in a country i dont think the corporation is really bothered esp if ut is in a western country where they can sell off the kingdom hall

Ramapo

by Mit123 in

how much is ramapo going to cost?

my daughter in africa meets in a cow shed for her meetings.

i wonder how many khs in africa they could build if they dropped ramapo?.

Real reasons behind this change?

by Gorb in

just a good conversation at home about the hour report change.. we think the change was not impmemented because the gb are such a lovely bunch of old grandpa's having the best in mind for us individuals.. there will be only, and we say only, an organizational reason for it.

a legal reason, to protect jw.org and it's officials and wealth.. next step?

maybe selling more kh and when jw hollywood studio's in rampoo are ready a change to tv subscription.. what do you think?

pepperheart2

if people are not doing as much outreach they will not use as many magazines or flyers so the borg will not have to pay out for new ones.a few weeks ago i got a magazine from a trolley that had been printed in 2019

I think circuit overseers should have a job like the apostle Paul

by forzaitalia in

am i being mean, thinking that travelling overseers should get a part-time job like paul did, in order to not be a burden to the congregation?

i wouldn't put my hand up when we were asked to raise it if we were happy to give £50 from congregation funds to the c.o.

so that he could take his wife out for a meal.

pepperheart2

i dont because that is helping to kill off the watchtower faster.in 2012 the watchtower closed 20 branch offices around the world,in may 2015 stephen lett said they had got more money going out than coming in.They also sold all watchtower property in new york and moved out to warwick they also sold all the jw property in central london and moved to chelmsford.they used to have a printing shop in central london but they have closed that as well.So ALL the magazines for europe are printed in germany.They also have been closing many many kingdom halls all around the world
