The organisation might have had a windfall but you can't seriously accuse the GB of using the money to live it up in the style of other U.S. TV evangelists.
The odd rolex watch excepted obviously ;)

Do you think every single human from then on would be faithful forever? (Even angels didn't all remain on God's side)
Exactly, if the first two couldn't get it together, what are the odds of the next 5 billion not taking a nibble of the apple?

I feel really, really sorry for those born into the Jehovah's Witness religion
by jambon1 insome facts that make the difference between you and me:.
1 - as a person raised by non jw family, my parents have never loved me based on conditions set out by a group of old men who they don't even know.
how does it feel to know that you are in the unique situation where your parents brought you into the world and said 'i'll show love to you.

...outright wicked.
That's a bit OTT - there are members of religions in the world that treat their kids wickedly if they don't conform but JWs aren't included in that. Misguided and easlily led yes, wicked no.

Have you ever known a holocaust denier? How did you feel about them?
by Esse quam videri ini sometimes did work for a lovely old couple who at times needed repairs done around their home.
my wife and myself spent time with them, having tea and crackers from time to time.
one day the husband and myself got into a conversation and he clearly showed himself to be a holocaust denier.

http://www.brooklynsignworks.com/jw/?gclid=cp7ppbzr_tacfy-baqodwocm1a.

C) They screwed up by advertising on a predominantly -JW site. Well done.
Pretty sure that's just an ironic accident of google.
pretty funny though. :D

I find it surprising that with all the printing expertise the WTS has they are allowing one man JW bands to make a business out of selling promo material.

Apparently they read what they want and ignore the rest.
That's true of most people - with all sorts of preconceptions and agendas.
A man hears what we wants to hear and disregards the rest.

I did some research on his last name and it was the same as a family owning a major German industrial corporation involved in all kinds of war manufacturing during the Nazi era.
It wasn't Farben by any chance was it? IG Farber was a major user of Jewish slave labour from Auswitch during the war.
IG Farben then went on to become BASF, Bayer and Agfa amongst other companies.

Would you trust your Doctor if he got things wrong??
by stuckinarut2 injust thinking..... assume we had a family doctor that we had seen all our lives, perhaps he had been the doctor for your extended family too.
he is lovely man, very kind and honest hearted.. but if he had prescribed treatment or medication that was wrong, and had bad effects on you, then changed the medication to something else, then randomly changed it again etc, how would you feel?.
if you did some research into him, and found disturbing facts and things in his history that made you question his qualifications, how would you feel?

The doctor could just say he works in mysterious ways

the future for the borg
by pepperheart init look very possible that the borg could lose their charity status in both the uk and oz if this happens the jw will not have all the tax breaks for the buildings that they have now.and that the headquarters will have to start finding extra money.and as they have done so much cost cutting anyway these past years i think they will have to start selling kingdom halls off.
