  The new Fred Franz?

  by careful in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  of course, no one could ever fully replace "our oracle for over 50 years" (ray franz quoting karl klein or someone else on the gb back in the days of gb i in cofc somewhere ), but i have to wonder just who on gb ii has come to fill fred franz's shoes the most.

  it seems like it is david splane.

  he appears to be in charge of the writing department, proposes and pushes thru the gb most of the doctrinal changes (he announces them so they're his baby), and like ff, fancies himself musically inclined.

  The best part of the Fred Franz legacy is that the vast majority of his stuff isn't even considered doctrine anymore.

  What are the economics of cart witnessing?

  on another thread shepherdless sketched out the past business model of jws and its demise.

  until 1990 they were a straightforward publishing business with the tremendous advantage of free labour in production and free distribution agents.

  since then they've been relying on donations for literature to keep the old model going.

  Man, if I were still in and pioneering, that shit would be so easy. I'd buy the cart myself and just park my ass on the corner. Pop in my headphones and listen to podcasts all day while racking up the time.

  Chaos at Brooklyn Bethel 12/2016

  by James Jack in

  2. scandals

  this was how it was described to me yesterday by a brother who has been there for some 40 years.

  "everyone is about gone; the governing body is set to leave within 2 months; the kitchen and laundry personnel are gone and i have to fend for myself now.".

  "also the aggravation of 4 to 5 business men in suits with clipboards daily checking out the watchtower properties.

  From what I've seen, if the guy is stuck in 'middle management' at Bethel, he's getting the axe. I knew a ton of Bethelites who were there for 20+ years and in that middle run. Bethel elders overseeing a department or sub-department. They were all sent packing.

  they'll definitely sell those buildings. Towers (Clark st) is beautiful and in an amazing location. One of the Willow St. properties was renovated relatively recently.

  most of those locations are going to be fairly small buildings. If you factored in the square footage and acreage of ALL the branches, assembly halls, KH's, etc, that MAY be true.

  done4good: The heights has felt that way for a very long time. When they announced that the printing operations were all relocating to Wallkill, the sentiment was the same. "Good riddance. Finally we can get some tax dollars for this primo real estate."
