  i know many have rejected the idea of organized religion.

  i teeter on that myself.

  but i have toyed with hooking to a little country church with some friendly people to associate with.

  I attend church with my cousins up in Kentucky at a little,country, Freewill Baptist church. I absolutely enjoy it and wish I could attend more, but I live 200 miles away, and only attend occasionally. I thoroughly enjoy attending, which is quite different from my witness days, as I felt going to the meetings was an obligation and not a joy. I also have attended some big churches in my area, but they dont seem to capture my heart like that little mountain churchhouse in Kentucky. I have been to a methodist church before and it seemed a little "dry", I have also been to a presbyterian church once, but it wasnt for me. I did go to a Catholic Church once with some friends in Ohio, but only went once, it did feel kinda creepy to me at first. I am not a regular church-goer, and Im not much for big-religion, I guess thats why I enjoy attending small country churches.

  in the southeastern section of oklahoma there lies the ouachita mountains and the winding stair mountains, these mountains are absolutely gorgeous and basically undisovered to the tourist crowds.

  there is a 54 mile road called the talimena scenic drive and it follows the mountaintop and has numerous overlookswe drove through there last year on the way back from the dallas apostafest, and were really impressed.

  this year we will try drive through there again.

  Well Tigerman, the Watchtower society is just like most other corporations, they have shareholders of stock, board of directors, etc etc etc. However the 300 shareholders of WT stock are as far as I know highly secretive. I believe that these 300 people are personally profiting from the WT sales and where they are funneling this money, who knows? This is just my speculation, but any billion dollar corporation that would go to great lengths to hide their owners probably is up to no good.

  Cool Jim, we plan to spend a whole day in San Antonio and Seguin, so perhaps you could meet up with us at the Alamo. We plan on seeing 3 things-The Alamo, The Riverwalk, Breckenridge park. Also the tower of the America's would be cool too, other than that I would like to try to find the old neighborhood I used to live in. They were apartments that ran between Sahara and Oasis Drive off of wurzbach. I lived there in 1980.

  Well if someone could post the names of the shareholders, that would be a start. And yes swiss bank accounts are something that the WT Society has probably made use of.

  How are they legally getting by as non-profit? How much money does a company have to make before they are no longer considered nonprofit?

This year we will try drive through there again. We end up coming into Hot Springs Arkansas the back way.

  This is just a fluff posting, but I thought I would mention it to all the Dallasites as it is only about 4 hours away and well worth the drive.

  I cant wait til the Texas trip, I have been reading the road maps and brochures constantly.

It will be my wife, myself, country-girl, and possibly her husband-depending on his work schedule, we will be staying with country-girl and she is gonna show us all around the hill country. It would be really cool if we could find another X-JW deep in the heart of the Hill Country. See Y'all in 13 days.

  With a billion dollars in sales every year, you can almost bet this money is going somewhere, and its not to help Jehovah's Witnesses. Once the truth comes to light as to who the 300+ shareholders of the WT Society is, it could possibly be as big a news story as 9/11.

  It wouldnt surprise me one bit if the the WT Society shareholders turned out to be drug lords, terrorists, political entities, who knows what. talk about the biggest fraud in the world huh? It would make the mafia look like small dice.

  This is all speculation of course, but until the veil of secrecy has been lifted, it makes you wonder where 1 billion dollars a year is going to, and its not the local kingdom hall.

  It gives you something to ponder.
