Our former presiding overseer had a motorbike for years. He used his car for the meetings to give others a lift, but he travelled to any of the conventions in his leathers.

he thought it was hilarious that the "top cast listing" was the governing body members.

Thank you, that was very informative. My heart goes out to that poor family on the loss of their son. I have always believed that the WTS were wrong over the fractions v components arguments. I recall an HLC member telling me he was concerned in his own conscience about recommending certain fractions; because the % of a fraction administered multiple times might add up to be equivalent to a component, and this made no sense to him.
But that's the problem trying to apply 2,000 year old writings to modern practices. I look forward to reading more from this man.

So What Drastic Money Change is Next?
by OnTheWayOut inokay, they cheapened the product by getting rid of hardcover books.
they reduced printing of mags.
they drastically reduced the number of pieces of printed paper that members would "place" in people's hands in various ways, the biggest one being that they put them on a cart and don't encourage people to take them.they cut d.o.

I wouldn't be surprised if they don't abandon all conventions in favor of televised ones instead, but ask for the money to cover the cost of doing so. I know many brothers who would gladly pay not to have to travel miles away and sit on hard chairs for 7 hours for the 3 days.

New brochure about donations.
by Ray Frankz inin this midweek meeting the local needs was a booooring speech about the new brochure on donations.
the wt must think the jws are dying to know how to give their money.. well, it's not new this is disgusting but this time, after i ve been slightly hinting people here and there for a year about the 'abnormal request of money' and remind them that 'the faithful slave wasn't like that until some time ago', this time i saw their faces.
they did get bothered with that talk.

But didn't the WTB&TS used to quote from the second edition of the magazine Zion's Watchtower these words: “‘Zion’s Watch Tower’ has, we believe, JEHOVAH for its backer, and while this is the case it will never beg nor petition men for support. When He who says: ‘All the gold and silver of the mountains are mine,’ fails to provide necessary funds, we will understand it to be time to suspend the publication.”

Oh dear, I recently made a comment about an elder being dogmatic. And one of his best buddies sent me a WT article to help me realign my mind or something.
This is where reality separates from fantasy and fiction. This elder believes that just because it is there in print then it automatically must be true of him and his best friend personally. How wonderful, loving and caring they all are, as they interfere in your life and spy on your dealings, which is as far removed from Christ's example as possible.
Quote :
"The elders in the Christian congregation are under obligation to learn to be like Christ. Peter gave the older men, or elders, this exhortation: “Shepherd the flock of God in your care, not under compulsion, but willingly; neither for love of dishonest gain, but eagerly; neither as lording it over those who are God’s inheritance, but becoming examples to the flock.” (1 Pet. 5:1-3) Christian elders are not to be dictatorial, domineering, arbitrary, or harsh. Imitating Christ’s example, they endeavor to be loving, considerate, humble, and kind in their dealings with the sheep entrusted to their care."
