i asked the below questions to 2 of my elders a few week ago ................................silence.
.
Designs, that's true, baptismal requirements had been devised long ago, how each denominations' 'requirements'
stand up to the example set out in the Bible vary. I feel the Mat. 28 'command' conflicts with the record in Acts that
shows the apostles baptizing only in Jesus' name.

Crazyguy got it right. The witnesses' Q&A before 3 elders. The 2 question dedication pledge, living up to the dedication.
Looking to the Watchtower as the way, the truth, and the life is the 'other sheeps' salvation plan. Christians have
Jesus as their mediator.

What I find of interest here, is that the organizers intermixed 'kingdom malodies' with old pop songs. Capping the festivities off with Pharrell Williams.
Performing them on the stage in a structure 'dedicated to Jehovah'. With 'sisters' taking ' the lead '. Blurred lines indeed. History in the making?
Is this what JW.org is all about?
'Happiness is the truth'

Let me get this straight. Some of the International delagates were bused over to this Kingdom Hall to sit and listen to amatuer hour on the stage.
Then watch local witnesses dance and clap to a rappers song. The same rapper who appeared in Robin Thicke's controversial Blurred Lines video?
All with the Governing Body's blessing? Tell me it ain't so?
to all bodies of elders.
re: notification of disfellowshipping or disassociation.
dear brothers:.
This has their Legal dept. written all over it.
so many questionn perhaps will be answer by this investigation/independent audit and perhaps some follow up untanglement of funds in the proliferation of different corporations that are under the gbs control.. i think 2014 is going to be a very interesting year for the wt corporation.
o and how do do feel about the whistleblower policy implimentation for all those that bring in 1,000,000 dollars or more annually.
can you imagine the wt corporation problems with that little gem, they can't disfelloship him or dismiss a whistleblower my my my.. .
here's an excerpt from the above link:
"A number of our kehillot have asked whether the new Act applies to religious corporations, since
they are exempt from filing annual audits and fund-raising reports with the Attorney General’s
Charities Bureau. The short answer is, yes; the Act applies to religious corporations. Some
examples of its application (not intended as an exhaustive list) are:
“Type B” corporations organized as for religious purposes under the NFPCL are
now categorized as “charitable” corporations and governed by the NFPCL
requirements and standards for such organizations."
Does the Watchtowers' ' Kingdom Support Services Inc. ' fall under Type B corporations?

Is the Watchtowers' 'Kingdom Support Services Inc.' registered in New York as a Non-Profit Charitable Corporation?
The State Attorney General's Office could probably answer that.
The new law is discussed by uscj.org here regarding their religious corporations:

i cant stop the nagging thoughts in relation to the hype about "100 years of kingdom rule" !.
what is the significance?
why make such a big deal about something like that?.
It is safe to say the year 1914 and the associated significance placed on it by the GB is an instrument to instill urgency and fear
and impowers the delusional self proclaimed leadership to continue on with the charade.
dear friends.

Zeb, I'm sure the Watchtower has made tentative plans for the dollar demise scenario, perhaps this new revenue scheme/stream is a means to that end, there's nothing on the law books to prevent them from making foreign currency exchanges/donations to other branches or precious metal purchases overseas?

It appears to me that the public can get a glimpse of the Watchtower's take at the NY headquarters ( 1 time money grab & pledges also ) by the 15th day of the fifth month after the Watchtower's fiscal year ends. Am I correct?
