Yes don’t got to bethel. That way, you run out of people to blame for your problems.

Then don’t go to Bethel. It’s really quite that simple.

Please, bethelites were well aware and accepted the fact that the organization uses them at their discretion. That being said, they are sent out and recalled to bethel when needed.
In other words, the organization reserves the right to keep them there or not.

Russia tried shipping them to Siberia, when they were very small, and failed at getting rid of them.
Im sure seizing buildings will be more effective.

Trust me, 4000 dollars a day is coffee money.
They probably cut their printing budget in half, don’t have the expensive buildings in NY to mainatain, and have already finished building Warwick.

Pepperheart,
It’s high time for you to stop believing everything you read on the Internet.
His comments about more going out then coming in, was in reference to the projects they have planned, not organizational operating expenses.
Any organization with half a brain establishes budgets for certain aspects of it. If funds allocated for project X are running low, they do a fundraiser. That broadcast was basically a Fundraiser for the slate of projects they have planned.
Also, the reduction in printing, naturally result in a reduction in personnel.
This is really simple stuff.

Vidiot — you need to grasp this simple truth — settlements have no winners or losers. Neither side looks good as I articulated yesterday. The plaintiff appears to have a weak case and are in danger of not recovering any damages, and the defendant appears to have something it wants to keep hidden.
The money paid is nothing compared to keeping the case out of the negative news media. Long and short term, a settled case with confidentiality attached benefits the defendant. The plaintiff gets paid and has a measure of peace. Another benefit is that future litigants don’t know how much the other side is willing to pay, so they will only accept what they need or want.
The WT recently made about a billion dollars, some of which funded the new HQ with money to spare, and not to mention at MINIMUM (if each JW donated dollar a week) 34 million a month in donations.
What they possibly could pay out in settlements, they receive 100 fold in donations, so that’s not going to drain them in and of itself.
The only way to drain them is for a government to literally steal their money.
So basically its mere wishful thinking on your part, or better yet, delusion.

As I recall, it was 21 million plus 8 in putative, reduced to 8, and then probably less than 2 million ( I do not believe the settlement amount was ever disclosed)
relatively speaking, she nearly walked away with nothing.
