analysis of the property ownership model of jehovah’s witnesses.
jehovah’s witnesses have developed a structured and financially efficient model for acquiring, building, and managing properties worldwide.
their approach maximizes resources contributed by members while ensuring that ownership and financial control remain centralized within the organization.
I think that there is another very important financial thing to conciser.
Now that the Governing Body effectively owns every Kingdom Hall globally (admittedly through its branches), they now have the ability to leverage these extra properties into their portfolio. To either reduce monthly debt repayments through a load restructure or obtain more credit.
Either way, its doubtful we'll ever know.
i was going to write a new topic but now i just can't be bothered ... and i'll tell you why.. on my facebook feed a few days ago, i saw an interview of a couple of onlyfans girls, who said that they were active christians that attended church weekly.
and while i was going to spend some time writing about the virtues of our faith's strict moral standards ... i now understand that i'd only be flamed as a watchtower apologist.. that being said, out of the approximately 4 million onlyfan girls out there ... it obvious, that none are jehovah's witnesses..

Liam actually said that there were Witness girls who were active OnlyFans 'creators". I was only setting that matter straight, not justifying their presence in the church.
Secondly Liam said that if I was a poor, attractive, young Witness girl ... that I too would take up the OnlyFans path. Which I objected.
Finally, while this will my last post on this topic, I'd like to ask everyone out there ...
Why are so few of you not expressing you personal dislike of the OnlyFans scene? Can you now justify, anything? Is nothing bad, anymore?

Liam if you would like to debate scripture and history, I'm up for it, as I'm well versed in both,
Firstly, doing OnlyFans is in no way comparable to first century prostitution.
Without any form of social security or government support, abandoned wives and their children (which was apparently common in Israel) had no options to support themselves, unless they had other family to return to. And unlike the movies, most people lived day to day, just above the poverty line. So inviting your sister and her kids back into your family long term, would have been a big ask. Recall too, first century had a virtually non-existent technical and middle class, which highly stratified the distribution of wealth. Which meant, most had little in reserve.
On the other hand, women today have a lot more choices and support than back then. Living in a crisis center must not be good at all, but even that is more than what was available back in Biblical times.
Thus its obvious these girls make OnlyFans; a lifestyle choice.
Scripturally Liam, of course we can judge people. We CAN judge them when they CONTINUE in a sinful course. The Bible is plain in this point. However if a person repents and stops disrespecting God's mercy, then of course, we must view them as Jesus did. Otherwise the whole concept of sin, just doesn't work.
The example you used in John chapter 8 actually supports my argument, not yours. In that the woman in question clearly displayed a contrite and repentant attitude a Jesus's feet. She was also a adulteress not a prostitute who was in the 'business'. Which is a far cry from the shameless OnlyFans girls who publicly promote their 'alternate lifestyle' ... unlike street prostitutes who work in the shadows of society.
People can make wrong choices in life and end up in a bad place ... but like the prodigal son in Luke 15, a person must be willing stop what they doing, to receive forgiveness and a new start.

Sometime Vidiot I get tired by just looking at some of the threads posted these days. Long gone are the times when people used to write some really insightful articles on a biblical or archeological theme. And in all truth, I had some nice lines of thought I wanted to share (mostly in praise of the Catholic church, actually) ... but instead I now see the most popular post by far, is still all about Lloyd Evans. And I just want to say, "for god's sake its done already, let's move on". But no, people still act like he's the center of the universe.
That's why I wonder what is the point writing about something serious ... maybe I should makeup some fart jokes instead.

Liam ... let me say a few things.
Firstly, OnlyFans girls are not making 5 million dollars per month by "just posing naked" online. No ... they are doing a hell lot more, for that kind of money. However regardless of what they do, to me, they are no better than drug dealers ... people who have completely sold out their principles for money.
I say this because, if they were trying "just to escape poverty" then why do these girls continue after their first million. They don't of course. They very quickly begin buying very, very nice apartments and performance cars to enjoy a jet-setter lifestyle of the rich and famous.
And in your reference to "High Power Celebrities and Sports figures" doing outrageous things ... they all got away with it because they were not baptized. Even you should know that.
But finally, if you have read any of my previous posts, you'll know that I regularly confess the Organization's sins. However we are not the only religion with a child abuse problem, with the Catholic church in particular have a centuries long record of committing atrocities that far exceed the sexual abuse of children. Thus in this regard, everyone should have a more global perspective before slinging the mud around.
Lastly ... I would never give up my principles for anything. And while I'm not going elaborate here, if you knew me and what I've had to do in my life ... you would understand how insulting it is to say that I would whore myself out for gucci bags and diamond rings.

You see NotFormer, its very easy for people to make sweeping statement to backup a claim. However people who want to be taken seriously, shouldn't be concerned if others ask for proof.

Liam are you admiring OnlyFan girls because they make a lot of money? So what if they even become billionaires. Have they become rich because they were starving, were they living in some South American favela? No ... its because they are "past all moral sense" and clearly love money and what money buys, above all else.
In addition, there is no way that any baptized Jehovah's Witness would could remain an OnlyFans sex worker without being disfellowshiped. And if some of those girls are still attending meetings, while being so comfortable very publicly prostituting themselves ... then name names Liam. They shouldn't mind at all, having that information passed along.
But all of the comments to my original post, just goes to prove how few here are appalled at this whole situation, when these very these same girls proudly boast about how many guys they've had. And yet, those same people here claim the high moral ground, saying the Society does this or that ... while at the same time, approve of this disgusting behavior.
I find that position ... hard to understand.

i’m still an elder and i consider myself jw light.
as my fellow elders are.
we don’t throw our weight around like elders used to in the past, it’s all very easy going these days.
In this post I must support ElderBerry, as everyone has the inalienable right to his own path and his own conscience ... especially on this platform. Just as you have the right (unfortunately) to express your own unfiltered toxicity.
i know most people here are totally out and that’s fine.. many these days are staying physically in for the social life and that is also fine.. i feel being fully mentally in is dangerous as it could be such a shock mentally if or should i say when the tower collapsed.. im sitting in the fence like so many others here.
mentally agnostic if god exists or not and if the bible is his word.. when i talk to people who are physically and mentally still in i can tell that they so need it to be true.
i’m worried for them when they wake up to the fact that they have been lied to 1914 wasn’t true 1975 wasn’t true 1999 wasn’t true and now here we are 2025 it’s all not true.
I think whats been said is true for the many of belief systems people have.
For example ..
Believing the your government works for your best interests.
Believing that your superannuation funds (401k for Americans) are safe.
Believing that spouse could never cheat on you.
These are all held strongly in place ... until it has obviously fallen apart.
Its just a weakness that most people have, to default to a pattern of ignorance, because its easier (mentally, emotionally, physically and financially) than planning for a bad outcome.
