paid full name=raymond franz .
towards the end of last year, the witnesses in scotland had their own assembly hall opened in the town of livingston, near edinburgh the capital.. this was achieved no doubt by blood, sweat, and tears by many over a very long period - as well as by donations of witnesses from all over scotland and its islands, not forgetting the levy per publisher imposed on all the congregations in the guise of "donations"!.
was the org grateful for the sacrifices which were made to bring a great "shout of praise" to whoever?
nope!
We all are only contributors to WT's real estate empire.
We are used for what working skills or cash we have.
I wish all 7 1/2 million JW's would wake up and leave and take their money with them.
Oh. If I could live long enough to see GB's Empire crash and those in charge jailed for fraud and ruining good honest humble people's lives.

as of june 01,2014, please what do you think in term of us dollars, is the current net worth of the watchtower society?.
.
.
How many sheeples properties do you know that have gone into greedy WT's feed the beast's hands?
I know of just 2, totaling $1.5 million US and that is for 2 different publisher's personal homes alone.
How many thousands of people have "donated" their homes and estates to Headquarter's in the past 50 years? What about the past 100 years?
We are talking about over 100 years of begging people for money, property, jewelry and giving nothing in return but promises...
Watch Tower has Christian Charity status, so everything they own, is tax free.
Can you imagine how much more money you and your family and grandparents and great grandparents would have had if for the past 100 years they ran their business corporation with free labor building new or buying low and fixing up, and eventually flipping it? All with free labor and no taxes what so ever ?
How did your family or their business do during the 1920's and 1930's Great Depression? Watch Tower had no problems. You are saying God provided for them??? Ah, that would be a no. Booze Rutherford, with his girlfriend Bonnie Boyd were the ones in power. He played god, and everyone went along with it.
Now it is 2014. Nothing has changed. Nothing will change.
WT is ever tight with control. They abusively tell you how to live your life.
Have they ever acted Christian? No.
Think about it.

the gang in brooklyn must be very busy.
the wt ranks # 29 of all pages on wiki for editing.

sooner7nc... ^^^ I am not internet savvy. Fred Franz's first paragraph, 3rd line says in part "It is claimed by many, Franz was... ".
There was no numbered citation marking of who said what, when or where.
So this is a joke page, correct?

you maintained a level of personal decency and integrity that you almost certainly would not have had if you had chosen another direction.. sure, you would have had some very "colorful" friends and experiences if you had gone another way, but you still chose the more "edgy" people in the congregation as your friends and you still enjoyed yourself, even if there were a lot of phony constraints.. you looked for ways to be of value to others.
don't stop doing that!.
you kept the darker side of your personality in check.
Oh, Okay. We are glad for that.
Since you are hidden and we do not know you, might I ask about the rape angle? Did your friends do it? I understand it is about making the person feel power over someone.
It certainly is not about sex.
What kind of home environment did you have, or not have? (You do not have to answer. It is none of my business).
I studied with a girl who's only son ended up in Pelican Bay, during the riots. He was in the riots. Proud of that. I knew him only as a sweet little boy.

Stillin ... Are you saying you were a thug, before you started studying?
so i pose this question to everyone.
if you were a jw and lived in germany in wwii, how would you deal with the harsh cruelity of hitler?
would you join his side so you may have a chance to live (meaning you'd serve in the miliatry and be on the front line) or would you keep on serving god and be executed?
This question could go round and round the campfire for a long time...
As a little girl listening to my sisters small portable record player to some probably Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale, there was the inevitable story of a genie granting out of the 3 wishes. I always thought as a child, if I had that chance offer given to me, my first wish would to ask for 10 more wishes... no , let's make it 100 wishes... Then it became everything I would ever wish for would come true.
So, if I were a JW during WWll? I would gather up all my family and friends, and high tail it onto the next boat, train, ship, get out of there as soon as I could and I would wish that I had all of the money, passports and maps so I would know what I was doing, so I could make the great escape, successfully.
Would I stand for the brutish, cruel, devilish way Hitler worked his country? No.
I would be involved in the underground someway. Save people. Help people. Do something.
I appreciate this refection on what would I do considering I stayed a WT/GB controlled drone all my life, until recently.
I hope I would think what's best for me and my family and friends, not what's good for Hitler or Jehovah. YHWH is the Israelite God of war. I don't like war and killing and fighting. So I guess I don't like Hitler and I don't like Jehovah aka YHWH. They are cruel and I am not.

a comprehensive new book:.
"the good... the bad... the deceptive.... and worse!
an expose".
Hi Dale, I am really sorry you lost the love of your life. I know it must be very painful.
-----> If I am not stepping in your own personal privacy space... would you mind sharing Jim's last joke with us?
I have only been at one hospital death. She had been in a coma. No final words.
I like to laugh and see the fun and joy in life, so I am curious, how I could possibly make my death, better for my daughter, when my time comes.
I do apologize in advance, if I am being too forward. I do not mean to be so.
