  Constant Pleas For Money

  by NotFormer in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  it comes up from time to time: that the wt's "constant pleas for money" signifies their precarious financial state due to the pressure of the csa settlements.

  is there any way of demonstrating that to be a fact?

  i ask because i've always been under the impression that "constant pleas for money" is the default state of the organisation, possibly going back to rutherford's time.

  I remember counting money at a district convention in the 1990s. I was one of the assistants to the convention accountant. We were literally on our knees on the floor (where we emptied the bags) because the table was not large enough to organize all the huge piles of cash. Before we could even have the slightest idea of how much cash we had, the usual "Deficit" announcement could be heard in the accounting office while we all looked at each other in utter disbelief. I should have woken up then but I was too young and stupid.

  Excuse my ignorance, but is Chelmsford supposed to be Europe's version of Ramapo Studios? What's this branch going to be used for exactly??

  it's incredible how this cover, and also this "series" of watchtower's is burned into my mind.

  i was almost 5 years old when these were released.

  Ratigan... it was false

  (Deu 18:20-22; Acts 1:7)

  the noun you choose to place after that word is completely irrelevant and doesn't change the fact that it was false.

  In the 70's I recall that they dropped Pious Sneering from 150 to 90 hours. But I could be wrong.

  Armageddon Car

  by OnTheWayOut in

  how many of you bought a nice sedan, suv, or even a minivan back in the days that you described as your "armageddon car" that you would care for and it would last until the end arrived?.

  i was driving a 1974 plymouth volare wagon in 1992 when i managed to get an 8-year old buick century.

  it was low mileage and had a very luxurious interior.

  My Armageddon car was a 1975 Chrysler Córdoba with a moon roof and Corinthian leather (whatever that is). I bought it in 1984 and it only had 16,000 miles on it.

  "so the events unfolding around us are making clearer than ever that we’re living in the final part of the last days.

  undoubtedly the final part of the final part of the last days.

  shortly before the last day of the last days.

  I saluted the flag because I always felt pressured to do so by my teachers. But while I saluted the flag, I begged Jay Hoover not to murder me in Scare-Mageddon. It was just one of many things that fucked me up mentally.
