  BC: I remember the article in the WT that MrRoboto mentioned. I think it was in the 1980’s. Hope someone will come up with it.

  Bill Covert referenced it on the previous page.

  "exjws" and money making Ponzi schemes.

  ok i want to pose a question to those who care to discuss this.. imagine a scenario.

  you hear of a exjw writing a book, however, before writing this book this exjw is requesting money to publish said book.

  you go along with it and help to get this book out to the public as you think that it will be beneficial.

  So I noticed that ThisIsMeIn1972 did NOT say what the book was about, just that it was written by an ex-JW. Theoretically, it could be about anything: basket-weaving or vegan cooking.

  That being said, I also noticed that most of the replies assumed a subject and a particular author:

  • Who would want to read such a book … someones [sic] grievance with the watchtower cult?
  • I can't think of anything that needs to be said in book form on the subject that hasn't already been said.
  • It could be considered "activism" …
  • It is also interesting that certain activists are complaining about how YouTube isn't paying them for their videos.

  TIMI, why don't you just say it: you're talking about L l o y d E v a n s, aren't you?

  BTW, it's spelled Ponzi scheme.

  Prepare to be berated by the followers of the Cult of Cedars. (I'm sure I'll get a bunch of "dislikes" for saying as much; just wait and see).

  I wouldn't have donated to the first one. I prefer to pay for things that actually exist, not vaporware.

  I'm guessing this is not a hypothetical situation.

  That being said, 2,000 copies of a book by an unknown, or previously unpublished, author on a very specific subject with a very narrow audience is not all that bad.

  Here's a link to an article from 2004 about a JW bookkeeper that worked for a doctor and told the elders about a patient that had a STD:

  • Clash of religion, privacy creates difficult exposure (Michael Bradford, 1/4/2004

  Dr. Gerald L. Bullock, who practiced medicine in Denison, Texas, in the 1980s, said he was stunned when a bookkeeper at his office released patient information to her church elders.

  DPRK Asserts that USA has Declared War

  north korea has taken president trump's recent statements as a declaration of war.

  pyongyang reserves the right to shoot down american planes even if they are not inside their airspace.. i listened to trump's speech to the un with dismay.

  it demonstrated a total lack of understanding of his enemy and the inevitable consequences of inflicting personal insults on kim jong-un.
