Think of the Jews in Jerusalem praying to God at the wailing wall
The reality is they are just praying to a brick wall
matthew 7:7 jesus says: ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
for every one who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
or what man of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?

i have an uneasy feeling inside that something is coming this year or the next.
perhaps a new big announcement that turns jwdom on it's head.. we've seen the statement in the watchtower november 15th, 2013 which said:.
watchtower november 15th, 2013 - page 20, paragraph 17.. .
I agree that tithing is the way they will go.It`s the only thing that can make up for their loss of revenue in book and magazine sales/contributions and the drop in converts in western nations where the money is.
10% of dollars from 8.5 million members should add up to a tidy sum each year to keep them going well into the future.
lucky 8 tv (http://www.lucky8.tv/about-8/) in new york is currently working on a docu-series for a major cable network that focuses on the issue of family estrangement.. .

based on legal arguments that revolve around violations of several articles of the portuguese constitution, and of the law of religious freedom, a petition to the portuguese parliament has been set in motion to extinguish the legal entity that represents the jehovah's witness in portugal and remove this community from the national register of recognized religions protected by law.
the petition does not seek to ban the jehovah's witness as a whole in the country.
the petition denounces the institutional policy of shunning former members as a violation of basic human rights and psychological torture, and asks the portuguese legislators and judicial authorities to take action to stop this abuse, and suspend legal recognition to the branch office entity until the policies of shunning are changed.
my turning point: serving on a child abuse judicial case.

If your not familiar with Jimmy Swaggart and his TV/Radio Evangelism he has built a Dynasty of a Religious Empire since beginning full time Evangelism only since 1955 that reaches out all over the USA New Zealand and Australia .
Look up his achievements ( Empire Building) on the internet you will have to admit it`s impressive in the short time he has been operating.
So why would the WTB&TS become a "Friend Of The Court" in a court case against Jimmy Swaggart defending his position ?
Wasn`t / isn`t he a part of "Babylon The Great" false religion ?
