this podcast is very interesting, especially the latter half.
in a nutshell, the scheme is this: after determining that a complete kingdom hall remodel will cost the congregation $100,000.00, the regional building committee arbitrarily inflates the estimate to $250,000.00, fleecing the congregation and misappropriating the additional funds for other purposes.
All I see is a scenario. I don't see proof.
I don't see, person A did this at that time and conspired with person B who did this at that time.
I don't see names, dates and dollar amounts.
" all requests to the Service Department for a special committee". Show evidence that these requests have been made.

This is a bunch of nonsense.
"once the perpetrators of the scam acquire operational control of a congregation’s corporation, thus assuming effective ownership of the Kingdom Hall property, they direct the congregation to finance upgrades to the Kingdom Hall"
If the amount borrowed is too much, then the payments are too high and the congregation can't meet its payments. No one is under any obligation to contribute. So the congregation corporation is left holding the ball. Then the "scammers" scammed themselves.
" thus assuming effective ownership of the Kingdom Hall property," If they borrowed money on the property, it is under a lein, then they can't sell it or do anything without permission from the leinholder.
This Jason Cobb sounds like the fraud. "Having observed this firsthand as a participant in the RBC engagement". Sounds like he is in on it.
the wts?.
we request of you not to be quickly shaken from your reason.2 thess.

I remember this article title from 1985 about apostates and can remember the picture of the person getting the info in the mail and throwing it away.
imagine a world where being "gay" the norm & being "straight" would be the minority!

I agree with you Simon. The population would die out over time.
And I agree with yadda. So tired of hearing about gay rights. It's called being friends with benefits and a commitment.
it seems to me that this is a no-brainer but i have been out since '96.. so based on your personal experiences what do you think?.
lots more - a bit more - just the same as always - less - a lot less?.
if you think more or lots more can you spot a time or event when it started to change?.
Back prior to the 1990s it was an Us vs Them mentality. JWs vs the Catholic church or other Christendom.
Now it is an Us vs those not 100% US.
Prior to the deaths of John Barr and Dan Sydlik, they were more loving and caring (as long as people appeared to bow to them).

not a sexual term at all fyi - w4m looking for like-minded friends, in the same condition.
don't respond thinking it means something sexual.
tiki, that is not my take, that is what she wrote to me. She misses her family and siblings. She's not saying much else.
at home?
at work?.
I didn't prepare. It is not hard to read well the Bible. and I just talked about the theme and not worried about what the supporting material is.
thw wts likes to play games with their statistics.
one interesting but truly tragic is the number of jwhovah's witnesses who commit suicie.. now i suspect that if a person commits suicide shortly before or after they are disfellowshipped then the elders would say that person wasn't a witness or that they had done something so terrible that they were too guilty to admit it and by their action of committing suicide they pretty much declared they were no longer a jw.. yup fancy talk to make sure any crap didn't fall on them.. so my question.. do you know of cases like this?
if so then can you answer a few more questions.. had this person been dfed or in real danger of being dfed or whatever the equivalent is if they were never baptized?.
I know of 5.
And add to that myself when I got baptized under the premise of giving up my life for the spirit directed organization.
besides learning how to speak publicly, has the watchtower given you any benefits?
?.
It taught me to be a rebel and not celebrate holidays and be my own person. Except that those things can't be done within the organization.
It taught me to be a good, clean, considerate contientious person. I am more mature and self aware than most worldly people are.

She wants to get back in soon and is looking for like minded ones.
