McD's have Ronald..................WTS has Stephen and Toni III -
Would one be able to request a "play area" be built on the KH property ? Could be a coup for getting meeting attendances up!

Will the WTS follow the McDonald's corporate model?
by sir82 inas most people know, mcdonald's derives the principal part of its earnings, not from greasy food, but from real estate.. they buy property, then, in addition to charging franchisees for the right to use their name, they charge them rent for the building sitting on corporately-owned real estate.. this business model yields well over $20 billion per year in gross revenue.. could this be the idea behind the soon-to-come revamp of the rbcs into ldcs?
the wts will purchase property and charge its "franchisees" (the congregations) a fee to use the building on the site?.
of course, it wouldn't be called a "franchise fee" or even "rent", it would be named something like a "voluntary contribution to support kingdom interests" or some such folderol.. any "non-performing" congregations would get shut down and/or merged, and the property sold.

I think some have got my point and apologies for not expressing myself more clearly !
You have to be pretty thick-skinned sometimes on this forum -
Its mental attitudes I was comparing -
The events in Paris were horrific and tragic !
[Nevertheless lets not "attack" each other with our expressions here on the Forum - many do come here to get away from things / find solice etc ]

No - JWs are sick for "killing of their own " for voicing dissent - I think you need the sanity check
Are you actually reading what I am implying THE MIND SET focus on the MindSet - the mentality The overriding power of "the WT Prophet" today
And stop trying to hide behind your Avatar and attack me - dialogue - discuss - don't attack ! had enough of you and your types when I was in !
This info appears on the CD ROM

Questions from Readers
•In the case of where a father or mother or son or daughter is disfellowshipped ,how should such person be treated by members of the family in their family relationship?—P.C.,Ontario, Canada.
We are not living today among theocratic nations where such members of our fleshly family relationship could be exterminated for apostasy from God and his theocratic organization, as was possible and was ordered in the nation of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai and in the land of Palestine. "Thou shalt surely kill him; thy hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people. And thou shalt stone him to death with stones, because he hath sought to draw thee away from Jehovah thy God, . . . And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is in the midst of thee."—Deut. 13:6-11,AS.
Being limited by the laws of the worldly nation in which we live and also by the laws of God through Jesus Christ, we can take action against apostates only to a certain extent, that is, consistent with both sets of laws. The law of the land and God’s law through Christ forbid us to kill apostates, even though they be members of our own flesh-and-blood family relationship. However, God’s law requires us to recognize their being disfellowshipped from his congregation, and this despite the fact that the law of the land in which we live requires us under some natural obligation to live with and have dealings with such apostates under the same roof."
I don't see much of a difference in the reasons given for the attacks in Paris and the way the WTS treats members who dare "insult our Prophet" !
Don't you just love the use of the word "exterminated" - like the way one deals with cockroaches !

Memorial Talk for this very special person is at 18h00 tonight South African time [UTC +2] at the Bethel Home.
Bethel Family support for his wife Dalene and the affected families has been outstanding - Lets say something when it has to be said.
A lot of family had to get over from Aussie, Canada and UK -
Exact details of the assault I have not yet obtained. I am pretty cut up about this myself. There are so many very special personalities in the Borg - unique people. And this makes it even sadder still.

I know the victim personally and he was indeed murdered when the gang came back to the facility - a translation office which as has been mentioned was previously broken into. I am awaiting full details from family members. His name is Hilton Tunstall and he was married to Dalene. She was not with him at the time. We grew up together. Top class human-being. -
