  I recall a time when WT made took much delight in pointing out how churches are closing down and the buildings being converted into commercial properties and that this was a sign of disenchantment with false religion and the money-making greediness of the Clergy{ and impending Armagedonnic Doom ! ............................................................."The wheels of revolution go round and round...round and round .....round and round "

  WTS Rich or Hurting for $$$

  by Zeds Dead in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  seen a few discussions asking if the wts are hurting for $$ or still sitting on a mountain of gold.. regardless of their child abuse legal fees and ongoing broadcasting for more dough, i believe they have piles and piles of cash.. talked with a diff'd accountant who sat in the accounting dept.

  at the conventions for years.. a football stadium (or the like) costs them about $70 - 90,000 to rent for a 3 day dub show.

  they take in $400,000 in donations from the r&f.

  I don't think the sell-offs have anything to do with potential costs of lawsuits from Pedo cases - Were all the pedo cases to be revealed in one glorious moment of Apocalysis and All the victims commenced legal proceedings at the same time ...................no ...its not the case...imho !

  But membership fall-off could be a factor.

  I had reason to discuss the construction programme taking place at the South African Bethel - just this morning with someone [South Africa - where I am located] And this Bethel is now a major campus - it seems to be going balls to the wall there!

  Otherwise the GB are just highly deluded and convinced of the imminence of the Big-BuggerUp ....or there is some strange "Third Force" factor at play ????

  Just a little bit depressed .... so I went for a walk - a walk into the beginning of my JW life

  by fulltimestudent in

  2. friends

  i seldom feel depressed, but i did yesterday.

  possibly, its because i'm likely going to graduate next year and i feel somewhat lost.

  the goal i've had for the last 8 years to improve my understanding of the china-asia nexus, will have been accomplished.

  I agree with LisaRose - What you have been through is merely a Wintery period of life .........After Winter comes Spring ........regardless of our age ! I was taught this valuable lesson by a Buddhist at a time when I was trapped in a severe depression [30 months] in 2010 ! She was right - I am now in the Summer /

  The season of your life will change.

  btw If I or any here on this forum can assist and support you further don't hesitate to communicate ! Just PM and I will link you to my contact details.

  Why cant Judicial Committees be taped?

  by HereIgo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have never understood this.

  was it because of legal reasons?

  i cant think of any other reason why it wouldn't be allowed, but i know the elders ask you repeatedly that you are not taping.

  as thousands of drones are being bought by all kinds of people, sooner or later we may face a drone controlled by a moron annoying us.

  here's one solution.. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-37528390.

  or, you can become a drone hunter, as in this yt video:.
