2000-2009 a decade of crisis for the Watchtower org.!
by koolaid-man inthis last decade proved to be very turbulent and potentially destructive to the watchtower org.
the jehovah's witnesses now find themselves in a defensive mode.
the beginning of this decade brought about monumental changes in their administrative business models.

Mary,
Back in either 2000 or 2001, they made a split between the GB and all the corporations; none of the Governing Body have a position on the boards of any of their corporations.
Milton Henshel resigned as president, I believe Don Adams replaced him as president of WTBTS of Pennsylvania.
Actually I think even before this Max Larson was president of the NY corporation, he is a Bethel heavy from the Knorr era.
Jaracz was never the President of any of the corporations.

JW Elder in FL sells his home, makes front page news!
by MinisterAmos inhttp://www.pnj.com/article/20100103/news01/1030320/top-house-sales-fall-short-of-06-figures.
local jw elder made front page news by selling one of the area's top ten most expensive homes in 2009. ironically, or pehaps well planned, his home is the only one with a gate to keep out the pesky peddlers.
i don't know if you can make out the sign "camp david" in front of the house, but it is there!.

I have no doubt that this elder realized what an unnecessary burden owning such a large house was, and has decided to simplify his lifestyle so as to make more time available for spiritual pursuits. Perhaps after finding more modest accomodations, a nice townhouse, perhaps. or an apartment, he will be able to start regular pioneering!

The Erosion Of Governing Body Faith
by metatron inlet's think about the subtle effects of the watchtower's newfound appeals for money.
traditionally, the society avoids doing anything that might expose the reality of how much of a facade the whole thing is.
they fear incidents that undermine their carefully crafted image of invunerability - and, indeed, the reality is much different.. beyond deceiving the witlesses in general, there is another reason for care because they must deceive themselves.

Can somebody fill me in, what newfound appeals for money are we talking about? Are they passing a plate? tithing? what has changed?

Mom flies into red rage because I was "attacking" the JWs...
by Kudra inbackground to the conversation:.
i called my parents excited to be having them come out for thanksgiving break.
in the conversation my dad (not a jw) brought up that michael jackson's glove just sold for $300,000 while a recently found first edition copy of darwin's on the origin of species sold for only $100,000.

Your mother, like so many other JWs, is living in a fantasy land and they refuse to let things like facts burst their bubble.

Bad Press Casting Shadow Over The Watchtower! DISTURBING CONTENT
by koolaid-man inare the jehovah's witnesses beginning to snap under the pressure of their involvement with the watchtower organization's teachings and policies?
many are being sent over the edge... newspapers around the world are reporting heinous and evil acts that are connected to the jehovah's witness religion.
all of this bad press is casting a dark shadow over the doorway at 25 columbia heights, brooklyn, ny.

Does anyone have a link that shows that any of these people, other than Jarka, are JWs?

Oh yeah, I also remember as a kid, back in the 70s, hoping Armageddon wouldn't come before Star Trek made it to the big screen! Seriously!

Star Trek is awesome, isn't everyone a fan????
Seriously, not sure, maybe its because without realizing it, they are attracted by its vision of a better world - a "paradise" if you will, which is the same thing that probably drew them to the JWs in the first place.
I'll never forget an elder's wife and I were discussing Star Trek one day, she made some comment about how wonderful it would be if the future would be just like Star Trek.... I'm thinking, hey, we're JWs, what about a paradise erf, having big picnics every day and playing with lions and bears, I thought that's what we were all hoping and wishing for.

Valley Farms Corp. What do they protect with it?
by MinisterAmos inmost already know that watchtower corp atty phil brumley uses a patterson, ny address as his residence.
using google maps, 131 brimstone road, patterson ny is starting to shape up into a veritable mansion.
maybe they are planning another rutherford (also an atty) style beth sharim but this time close to wallkill?.

Again note the double standard at work, r&f JWs strongly discouraged from pursuing an education, meanwhile headquarters sends Bethelites to Law School.
