  it seems that some co need much more $$ and in some countries they started to promote multilevel sales among their contact network.

  have you been involved in any offer of such nature?

  sp74bb is l legend in the Spanish Forum, his information is well documented and corroborated. As far as USA I have seen COs making good money out of referrals for mostly Caribbean Cruises, this is controlled by the Miami JW Maffia controlled by the descendants of some Cubans JWS historical families, always on the lookout for making an easy buck.

  2. experiences

  there were other people who either killed themselves or tried to kill themselves while they were at "the house of god.

  one person who did kill himself was richard wheelock, press room overseer ......he jumped out of a window at the watchtower farm one day.

  it seemed, he was never quite the same after his wife "willy" died.

  I read 19 and I went back and started reading one by one. This is so good that you should make it an online book.

  Great stuff

  When selling was preaching ...

  i am going way, way back.

  history reveals that in the beginning the wt was just a publishing house, selling books and magazines; over the years it evolved into what it is today..

  the placement of the original publications was mostly done thru sales people masquerading as preachers.

  Question about the number 2,520 and the book “New Heavens and a New Earth” (1953)

  by Hecce in

  2. bible

  question about the number 2,520 and the book “new heavens and a new earth” (1953).

  there is a footnote on page 138 of this book; it has to do with the number 2,520 being a perfect number and the result of multiplying the four perfect numbers in sequence.

  i have done the math and it works.

  Going by the results the comment seems to be limited to the footnote on that book.

  I agree with berrygerry on the last item. The field service meeting is not a public meeting and I don't think that she will be allowed to sit there.

  Living Through the Brief Liberalization of Jehovah's Witnesses, Never Recovering

  by TMS in

  with the book crisis of conscience detailing the turbulence at bethel during the early to mid 70's, the transformation from autocratic rule to governance by committee or a body of men, many of us can speak to how that felt among the rank and file of the local congregations during those years.

  we learned new concepts based in large part to research done for the aid to bible understanding volume, then we were asked or coerced into unlearning those principles, going back to the old ways.

  some of us never readjusted, finding ourselves very different from our more hardline compadres.. the inertia for the changes that eventually were initiated in the congregations came from the discovery that the greek words episkopos and presbyteros were used biblically to refer to all qualified men in a congregation, not just one.

  Impressive reading TMS.

  One observation, after all the twists and turns, the basic command structure of the congregations is the same than before the 70s. One strong man, the coordinator with two henchmen and a group of lackeys. That is basically a body of elders, the difference is under the congregation servant the group was a lot more considerate and caring.

  Thanks to all of you.

  In third world countries it was easy for pioneers to sustain themselves with the placements. I don't think that was the motivation for their service but it was an end result.

  Take the situation with the magazines, the goal was to place one for every hour in service; if you put 100 hours that was 100 magazines at 4 cents profit each or $40.00 monthly. In most poor countries that was money.

  I am requesting a favor, please read the post and the links before commenting.

  I am just quoting a WT publication, the "perfect" number comes from them, not me.

  Thanks for your comments.
