Yes, just ask the JW-Quotes people that question. WT attorneys whose Columbia Law higher education was paid for with Kingdom preaching work funds that is supposedly dedicated to Jehovah.

The rich and the WT
by Crazyguy ini was told by a friend that the wt sends out brothers to wine and dine rich jw's and then asks them to donate large amounts of money and land etc.
this person knows first hand as he said because he has a wealthy friend that this was done to.
anyone else have this experience or heard about this?

Have seen where a rich sister donated a chunk of land gratis for an new Assembly Hall and has basically been given a "free pass" as it were despite her divorcing her husband. And she came across like she owned the KH when she fancied to make an appearance.

Marriage only possible as an M.S. as a JW???
by ADJUSTMENTS init seemed to me for a male jw to begin the steps of dating and eventually getting married you at least had to be an m.s.
to get anywhere with a sister at least a decent sister.
i'm wondering if others felt this way?

Probably true to some degree in your area. I've heard of and know of a decent looking elder's daughter who was practically saying her "I Do's" as her boyfriend was coming up from his baptism!
For the most part, the sisters are the ones that have a hard time marrying "only in the Lord", based on my observation.

Meet the Buttoms family (obese) and all "pioneering":
Dad- early 40's, very sucessfull business owner, elder, school overseer. Under-educated, uncouth glutton who at the DC pulled out a huge smoked turkey leg for lunch all the while talking with food in his mouth. He was the type that hired all brothers in the area to do his work, one of whom being a newly appointed married MS who was banging some secretary at one of their contracts. He was found outsoon enough but was only publically reproved. I believe Brother Buttoms was on that JC. Wink, wink.
Sister Buttoms: 40ish fake blonde, swarthy foreign-born lady way past her prime if she ever had one, on bi-polar and anti-depression meds that other-wise was well enough to spend daddy's money on make-up, french manicures/pedicures, new outfits and shoes. Oh God, the high-heeled shoes, were talking Imelda Marcos style. Does that tell you something about her "spirituality"?
Eldest Daughter: about 19 and let's say an amazon. Worked the phones in the office part-time and went out in full-day service on Mondays (business closed). By her gerth, i was obvoius the group spent the day driving around stoping at all the convenience stores and fast-food joints in town. She tried to get attention from the brothers by showing a lot of cleavage, tight clothes and high-heels like Mom.
Baby Daughter: about 16 going on 30 as they say, foul-mouthed brat daddy will buy it for me type. Once, while out in "service" pulled off her pants (panties too) and gave some guys standing on the street a "full moon". Heard that she would have knock out drag out fights with Mom and sis, calling them bitches.
This the model family that was interviewed and praised by the CO at the CA. These lovely daughters admitted the lack of BS but said they were "actively" seeking one (actively seeking the buffets that is).
Fast forward about a year:
Brother Buttoms: deleted as elder, to focus on his marriage and family I'm sure. This is the guy who used to threaten that he could have you disfellowshipped if he wanted. The audacity of this man!
Sister Buttoms: still on her meds. no way out of her miserable marriage and life with the ogre.
Eldest Daughter: hooked up with a "worldy" guy that she met in FS, married and no longer on the pioneer list. Not DF'd though, I'm sure her Daddy didn't pull any strings on that one.
Daddy's little girl: still gettng her way with Daddy, much to the dismay of her mother. A case of mother/daughter rivalry I'd say.
Admittedly, not as shocking or morally reprehensible as the
previous examples, but still a doozy imho.

Biggest pain in the side of the Governing Body of JWs
by oppostate inat http://www.anointedjw.org/ a higher eschelon jw mentions that at a meeting of co's with do's it was stated that anointedjw.org website is the biggest pain in the side of the governing body.. do you feel that what's being published at anointedjw.org is having a big effect on the gb and / or on the congregations?.
if so what is it about their articles there that are opening jw eyes to an awakened state where so many others have tried and failed to awaken jws?.
what do you foresee could hapen as a result of pressure from anointedjw.org and their articles on the gb's attitude and their reactions?.

i do not believe that anything they receive is read at all. It's immediately shredded by "resposible" brothers. Can anyone who was at Bethel confirm this please?

What is your weirdest field service experience ?
by cookiemaster inmine just popped in my head and i just had to share it.
a few years ago i went with a special pioneer(and elder) at one of his studies who was a cow herder in the mountains.
obviously, even though we were going to the middle of nowhere, where no one lived, we just had to go all dressed up in nice suits and all.

My wife went with another sister to a door and a man met them on the front yard obviously upset. Sister Ditzy then proceeds to go into her presentation, meanwhile the guy starts to fume and extend his arms to his side with palms up, staring into the sky babbling about Christ. Then he proceeds to go into a David Blaine (not Splane) imitation and starts to levitate off the ground. Unfazed, Sister Ditzy continues with the call by trying to read a scripture, all the while my wife is pulling her by the back of her blouse to get the hell out of there. Creepy, yet hilarious. JWs always have the last word, whether you speak in toungs or levitate at will.

this week's wt study
by thedog1 ini conducted the wt study tonight on higher education.
i wondered what the reaction of the bros and sis would be.
there was no deviation from the idea that a university education is not a good idea.

The WT conductor tried to imply that the ancient slave only experienced temporary pain (awl through the ear thing) and thus the pain we expereience when slaving for Jehovah is likewise only temporary. I beg to differ, not getting an adequate education and having to do physically taxing work well into middle age with no end in sight!

Did Franz or other now deceased GB leave a playbook?
by LogCon inis it possible that franz, or others, left some kind of playbook, instructions containing a range of possible 'set plays' and 'scenarios' for future gb's.
" ... what if nothing happens by a certain date.
tell them about overlapping generations.

Sir82, actually the GB suggest that they do indeed receive information from resurrected annointed ones as per Rev. 7:13,14.

Sneaky introduction advice from Dec KM
by Splash init says on page 1 par.
3 in the q&a item.
"where people belong to a non-christian religion, or to no religion at all, it may be better to mention the bible on a return visit, rather than at the outset.
