  just thought i'd start a thread about favourite movies.

  mine, in no particular order, are .... alien - a great visual film.

  REVEALED: The number of Bethelites over the years

  by darkspilver in

  in response to this thread.

  i've put forward the argument that i believe that the 'organization' is financially effectively bleeding itself dry - it is actually financially imploding.. i believe that over the last 45 or so years, in particular, it has evolved from a relatively 'lean machine' into what is now a huge unwieldy organization.

  as an organization grows i would expect increased efficiency through by both economies of scale, and advances in technology.. how has the watchtower organization fared?....

  Thanks DS

  I have never seen this figures before, interesting that anointed are going up and Bethelites are going down. Some factors to be considered:

  Automation has made possible to cut down in workers.

  Production decrease, they don't need as many people as before due to decreased publication numbers.

  Remote work, the commuters were already mentioned, but there is also a lot work done by people with special skills from their homes; some of them are very far away.

  Secrecy, I don't think that is so clear cut as to who are they counting, with all the labor and legal implications it could be their intention to show a smaller work force.

  So maybe what some might see as a declining operation could be for them a leaner operation.

  Thanks for the work.

  A portion of the outline to be considered with the the elders, looks like they just can't ignore the problem anymore:

  Remain alert to dangerous and divisive influences [Read 1 Peter 5:2, ftn.]

  
  Disruptive ones may threaten the life or safety of those at congregation meetings

  
  Question: What can be done to render assistance to a publisher who is distressed after reading a negative report about God’s organization? [Help him to remain united with the congregation. Reason with him on appropriate Bible principles and published material (Pr 14:15; Isa 28:16; 2Th 2:2; g 12/13 5-7; w95 4/1 27-28)]

  Pedophile on The Governing Body

  by new boy in

  the bottom line there is zero tolerance for any homosexual activity in jehovah’s holy organization.

  so all known gays had been kicked out and disfellowshipped before i got to bethel and gays got kicked and disfellowshipped and disgraced when i was there.

  sorry, i guess i meant most homosexuals were kicked out in disgrace.

  Information from 16 years ago, run a forum search with the name Chitty and you will see a lot of information on the subject:

  https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5466/greenlees-chitty-some-sources

  With regards to R. Franz, there is a lot that he didn't say; homosexuality is one subject and child abuse is the other. Maybe he was under some confidentially gag, others like Barbara Anderson have given testimony on this matter.

  new boyan hour agoan hour agoan hour agoThe reason I don't talk about Chitty is, I don't condemn homosexuals. I condemn the societies hypocritical stand and it's condoning and hiding child molesters and pedophiles.

  This is a valid point, however from what I read Chitty was using his position of authority to prey upon young bethelites, some of them quite innocent to the ways of the world.

  I don't think that either China or Russia can be happy with the current situation, after all they are closer to him and he is not reliable partner.

  Eventually they will agree that he has to go, he has kill a lot of people and must have a ton of enemies; he is not bigger that many tin pot dictators before him.

  This matter is a sore point when you get to a certain age and you discover that all the things that are supposed to carry you over in your golden years are not there, pensions, savings accounts, retirement funds, membership in organizations that will help and so on; were bypassed looking for "true riches", now you discover how much needed are the "vain riches".

  The Unique Power, Control and Status of the GB Members

  by Finkelstein in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  something to reflect upon is the real unregulated, power and control the gb members have.. such as they themselves cant be judged for their practice as being true christians according to bible scripture.. an example of that power and control,.... j rutherford the once head leader of the wts.

  lived with a female assistant when he was separated from his wife ???

  she declared that she was very much his wife in court under oath .

  There is no way that is a Divine arrangement, all the faithful men in the Bible were subjected to discipline for their errors and failures. What the GB is doing is becoming equal to Jesus.

  Great information.

  Keith: as usual I love your information.

  I noticed that you are focusing on Greenless, what about Chitty?

  There is some information on the internet about him too.

  Great
