Yup a mixture of good and bad. I knew of one brother who fired another for dishonesty.

JW Businessmen
by NotFormer ini was never a jw, but came across a few in my travels.
one jw businessman i dealt with seemed to be honest, trustworthy and reputable đź‘Ťđź‘Ś.
another i knew was the kind of bloke who, if he told me that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, i'd watch sunrise and sunset just to make sure.

Compared to other religions. What that Wt is asking for is very modest. It’s about the cost of a coffee and biscuit at the coffee shop, in this country. $100 million a month may be quite modest to their outward expenses. Are they making absorbent sums of money at the cost of their members. I’d suggest they could be going broke. Also remember that, many developing countries are not financially self sufficient, and would be a cost to Wt.

slimboyfat joins the Mormons!
by slimboyfat ini know that some people on the board have experience of being mormons, so i would be interested in your feedback.
at church this afternoon it was an uncanny experience.
in the past i've read a lot about mormons, so i thought i was prepared in general for what it would be like.

Just as a side point. I wonder about those who were directly involved in the purchase of that house for Tony Morris? I wonder what went through their minds, with regard to the treatment Tony got as apposed to treatment other long term Bethelites have received. I hope it wakes them up.

Did The Australian Royal Commission Actually Achieve Anything?
by NotFormer ini've been going through past threads on here during the period i was not very interested in what was going on in jw world.
the australian royal commission era caused a great deal of excitement and inspired some hope, but did any good come of it?.
the 2 witness rule in child sexual assault cases still exists, and elders still don't call the police and try to handle things in house.

If I was a GB member, or the inner circle. I’d be thinking in terms of; as long as the machine keeps running to see me through my old age. Then what do I care about it’s long term sustainability. In another 10 years apart from Sanderson, and Jackson, a lot of them would have died, or be too old to care anyway. I want it to run long enough to see me through.
I know this reasoning well, as I have come to the same conclusion with my aged father.

Wt fully realise, how delicate the situation is. Clearly they had to cut him loose as his drinking just spiralled out of control. He was becoming too much of a liability to them. In reality this situation was years in the making, and a result of a very permissive attitude toward alcohol at Bethel. Now it’s time to pick up the tab for it - no pun intended.
That been said, if they upset him, and the situation is fragile at the moment, he could do them some incredible damage. The deal Wt has offered him would pale into insignificance from the the money he could make from a book deal, and a tell all interview. So Wt if you end up reading this you certainly need to consider your steps closely. You also need to put him in a more secure environment, where it’s a lot harder to access him. As the saying goes out of sight out of mind.
