It is now fairly common knowledge that the embarrassing parts of their history are being overwritten online. I wonder how much longer it will be for the entire 1914 teaching to be replaced/updated in their online books, magazines and other materials. I wouldn’t be surprised if that is their current direction.

Drop Off in Mentioning 1914
by steve2 invideos from the summer jw conventions ("be courageous) show the "urgency" about the end racheted up several notches.
paranoia rules supreme!.
curiously, though, very few, if any, statements in the convention program about 1914 and the overlapping generations.

Yes, Guadeloupe has about 39 out of those same 49 being Roman Catholic. So at least 40 of every 49 people on that island belong to a religion that has pedophilia issues!

Stephane,
Yes, transparency is one of my main concerns. I spoke with someone who handles these donations in the Southern US and he told me that my understanding of how donations are handled is wrong. So my reading this document gives me more information than someone who is actually handling the funds. The Society is misleading in yet another area.

Thank you!
So the per publisher contributions are a built in donation of about $10 US or so per attendee?
Another point that I found interesting is that they actually had to mention not feeling obliged to replace the furniture and appliances in the CO apartment every time another circuit overseer comes in.
And another noteworthy item for me was in reference to the contribution boxes. They stated not to put contribution boxes in close proximity, to avoid giving the impression that money was very important to them. And they also state that the boxes should be strategically placed.
And one more thing. Circuit funds are encouraged to be sent to the society, even as an interest-free loan. I wonder how easy it would be to get that returned to the circuit in time of need.

by Farmer Jim1 inok, so what are the most deceptive comments that you have heard from your experience in congregations?.
my top three are;.
1) service overseer during the ’ how did we do?’ annual talk, twisted the figures to such an extent that it looked like the congregations ministry was in tip-top shape.
