A former assembly hall account overseer shows how Watchtower Accounting works!!!!
The Watchtower wants $$$$!
yes, i too have wondered how an assembly that is held in a fully paid for assembly hall, with no food service, could possibly have $10,000 in expenses.
i suppose the bethel speakers have transportation expenses - maybe $1000 or so.
as for rent on the assembly hall, well you have already paid for it once, why pay again?

does anyone know who wrote the may 22, 1969 awake!
article, "what future for the young?"?.
i wonder if they still are at bethel.. .
From the 1969 Awake article:
"But where will this system of things be by that time? It will be well on the way toward its finish, if not actually gone!"
In this year of 2012 it is very likely that the person who wrote the above is himself "actually gone"!

That is a good quote of Fred Franz that you found Leolaia.
It appears that the common purpose of both the 1927 and the 1969 article is convince young people not to pursue a career at that moment in time.
They are not meant to influence people reading them 94 or 43 years after they were published.
That is why essentially the same message is continually emphasized in recent publications and talks, to influence the young people of the moment not to pursue an education or a career.
The Watchtower will continue to say the same thing over and over again in the future.
Actually after the number of years have passed as it has for those older articles, they actually have become embarrassing!
i know a statement like this has appeared in the literature but i cannot find it.

The Watchtower and the GB are full of themselves!
It is their way of running their religion.
That is what it all comes down to, running a religion.

The Watchtower only wants to USE people for its own purposes!
the wts seems to affirm a lot that adam's blunder really screwed up the earth, and that the earth was not meant to be this place full of killing, disease, death, pain, etc.. but according to the wts version of the story, did god create the earth with these types of features before adam even came on the scene?
the wts does not deny the existance of dinosaurs, who in their words were created prior to mankind during the 5th or 6th symbolic day-ages.
yet its clear from fossilized remains that dinosaurs killed each other, had a high mortality rate, often died young, suffered from disease such as cancerous tumors: .
Remember the dinosaur in the green NWT?

The Watchtower does not want anyone's "findings" presented to them, rather, The Watchtower would rather have the person's money!
Watchtower to its members:
"Be quiet, do not bother us with questions. It is your responsiblity to read what we tell you to read, do what we tell you to do, think what we tell you to think, and to give us your money in an organized manner!"

Watchtower 1967 June 1 p.338 Move Ahead with Jehovah's Organization
12 How will we put these four things into effect? First, study: We may think of study as hard work, as involving heavy research. But in Jehovah's organization it is not necessary to spend a lot of time and energy in research, for there are brothers in the organization who are assigned to do that very thing, to help you who do not have so much time for this, these preparing the good material in The Watchtower and other publications of the Society. But you do not study enough? Take this suggestion: Often the very best and most beneficial studying you do is that done when you read a new Watchtower or Awake! or a new book with the joy of getting the new truths and a fresh view.
but want to allow them everywhere else!.
hmmm .

Seven mile ban? Not a problem.
letters of pliny the younger to the historian tacitus:.
1. pliny letter 6.16 -- pliny the younger describes the eruption and the death of his uncle, pliny the elder while trying to rescue survivors of the early stages of the eruption.. my dear tacitus,.
you ask me to write you something about the death of my uncle so that the account you transmit to posterity is as reliable as possible.
It has been recommended to read Pliny the Younger's description of the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius and compare with what is written in the Book of Revelation.
