  into minute 18 and so far I can't figure out where the hell Mark is going with the rambling.... it gets better in minute 19. They are having problems with unmotivated people. Solution: go out in service, pray and read the Bible. Don't think too much about the direction of the chariot, just jump in and move along

  How the hell do they burn so much money so fast? As was said before, money flows only one way in this organization . Other non-profits return the money to the members and the community in the form of services, such assistance to the poor with food, housing, employment, summer camps for kids, help to victims of domestic violence, drug addiction and alcoholism problems. And those non-profits actually pay salaries. The Watchtower appeared to spend most of it on printed publications. Now that's practically gone. Most of the labor is provided by volunteers. They even hardly pay the people that go out to give speeches or oversee congregations. The congregations themselves take care of that expense. It's a money scam, it has to be.

  "They are scrambling to put a happy face on cut backs. Nothing new here..."

  Nothing new if we compare it to last year or the previous recent years, but it certainly is the opposite trend of decades ago (say the 90,s or even early 2,000's).

  how to budget for unexpected large outflows of accruals of liabilities? (video five, minute 7:00)

  Easy, keep an eye on all the child sexual abuse cases judgments during this year and plan for a future increase.

  If the Governing Body runs the finances and the spiritual well being of the organization, what the heck does the Watchtower do? Yeah that Watchtower that Gerrit Losch doesn't answer to, receives orders from, doesn't pay him anything?

  What’s your favorite "News" website?

  by Wonderment in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  news in general are supposed to be unbiased.

  but given how commercial and political interests get their tentacles around them, finding a fully unbiased news website is not so easy.. here in america some would rather trust bbc or reuters than they do cnn or fox news.

  any favorites?.

  Regarding politics and government, it's hopeless. The so called news section is actually op-ed pieces, some times subtle and well disguised, others just flagrant op-ed pieces passing for news articles. What we can do is cover the whole spectrum and do some sort of "averaging". But not enough time for that, so I have turned to tending my own garden instead, a private and productive activity (paraphrasing Voltaire's Candide)

  Material such as the film at the end of this years convention confirms that I was right to take my kids out the religion

  by jambon1 in

  it’s quite affirming to see the horrific material that they’re serving up at the convention this year.

  aside from blatant homophobia, the scenes at the end of the convention that are discussed on another thread stoop to new levels of fear mongering.

  it seems to occur to nobody inside the organisation that this kind of material could trigger fear, deprsssion, anxiety, stress.

  Was that grey bearded man Jesus?.. at the end of the video? He has been aging too fast for a divine creature. Who wouldn't when your brothers on Earth screw up so badly every time they speak. I think Jesus was pointing the arrow to AMIII and his gang. He's had it with them!

  "World conditions have never been as bad as they are now"

  by Sour Grapes in

  i went to a funeral yesterday and ran into a jdub.

  of course, he approached me and it didn't take more than a minute into the conversation for him to get into the jdub gloom and doom mode.

  he said that world conditions have never been as bad as they are now.. i looked straight into his eyes and said, "i think that world conditions were a lot worse during world war two.".

  "I think that world conditions were a lot worse during World War Two."

  ...and just about anytime before that.

  Take a look at population explosion in the 20th century. Mortality went down and continues to go down, like never before the 20th century. Standards of living are better than ever for everyone. Famines are almost non existent (obesity is the new problem). Wars are pretty much restricted to few civil wars in few countries. Longevity keeps going up.
