The other thing to remember is just because they say they have 8 million members doesn't mean they do. Plus even if they did how many are kids since they count unbaptised publishers. Maybe they only really have 4 million adults or less.

They got to be hurting because they stopped some of the projects they had planned at Warwick. Rumor has it they spent a boat load at this place and maybe even a good portion of what they have received from sales of other properties has gone into Warwick.
Their plan to sue and win money from a former owner of Warwick didn't work either. I also believe a lot of people are just done giving them money. Even when i was in I think most didn't give.
This cult is also running scared , they are concerned that at any moment they will loose a child abuse lawsuit and then seize assets. Once a major suit is lost and isn't reduced on appeal then the flood gates of attorneys with more lawsuits will line up. We have seen ads in news papers already from law firms. Let's just hope the landslide happens soon.

Yeah this doesn't make much sense since they can make a ton of money at assemblies. They either know something big is about to hit them in the pocket book, scared something will, or maybe they can take this money and just rent a hall cheap enough and still make a killing.
Or maybe they have found that renting a hall and then inflating the expenses is easier to sell to the rank and file then trying to convince 1000 people to donate 10,000 in cash for one day in a building that's been paid for years ago.

In the stories of the Bible the all Christians were apart of the body of Christ , the only anointed one. They were all to partake and the writings of Paul state they all had a heavenly hope. Rutherford started the whole earth heaven distinction to the JWs could have a laity class. Today Catholics eat the bread but only the priest eat and then drink the wine. Their special part of the original laity class.
This laity class were special idea goes back to the Levite's in the Bible and before them the priests of Egypt. In almost all ancient religions in and around the Levant the priest and kings were considered special by the gods and save by the gods. The lowly pesents had to rely on the priests for salvation and Revere the king as god son.

Someone posted on YouTube a bunch of thing that Jesus said or taught that pretty much against what his father said. One example don't eat blood, eat my blood, so yes he's a true apostate.
Anyway your right about one thing for sure, man has had laws put into place that show thier morality over the god of the Bible way before the Bible. Negative confessions from Egypt and Hammurabi's laws both way before Abraham and the Bible.

"There is evidence of a Creator if you just look for it"
by unsure in(for the record, i’m agnostic who is earnestly seeking an objective, honest and concrete hope for something greater).
“there is evidence of a creator if you just look for it”.
many of us have heard similar sentences from believers regarding proof of creator, proof that their religion is the correct one, proof that their particular sect is the right one, proof that their individual sects interpretation of a certain religious text is the right one, proof that their own personal interpretation of a certain religious text is the right one; the list goes on.. in one of my previous posts, i shared the following thought of mine:.

Really he wants to give us salvation but instead of just forgiving us something his son said to do , nope he had to murder his son and then smell the sweet smell of his sacrifice. Not only that before he killed his son he murdered and allowed the murder of millions of woman and children some even had the pleasure of being raped.
Thanks but no thanks your god sucks!!!
