i can't tell which country perhaps that will give away a lot, any one with a similar information.
This thread is further evidence that money....not love of man or neighbor...is the motivation behind the operations of the WTBTS!

India is special, because no money from abroad is allowed, so the branch is on its own and can receive no contributions from NY.
i am sure that it has been discussed before.
but just out of curiosity, what is the orgs view on extraterrestrial life?

i remember at my teen years when i was studying with a brother that he said to me that there was no rain before the flood.
instead there was this mist that you have.
never before or after this have i heard something like this.
a non-witness insider told me this week that the wts has financial problems.
that lead to halting down their building plans and lay off the special pioneers and.
bethelites.. the reason of the financial stagnation is beside some bad investments,.
"non-witness insider"
Oh, I just LOVED that term. Yeah, sure, a non-JW just has GOT to have real, deep inside information.
to get to the point straight away i think the crane accident that occurred at warwick was a significant catalyst that has caused the org.
