The Gall Of WT To Give This Advice To Pioneers:
by JW GoneBad inthis past week's wt study lesson was entitled: 'pioneering strengthens our relationship with god'.. under the subheading 'remaining in the full-time service' in par 14 the wt has the nerve to give this admonition to pioneers: .
'desiring to learn from jesus' example, a pioneer does well to keep in mind that the more material things he has, the more he will have to maintain , repair, or replace.'.
i don't think the gb or anyone in the writing department has the freedom to speak on giving adivce on the matter of 'material things' given the fact that wt has close to a billion dollars in real estate and loads of money in various bank accounts; given the fact that gb is currently building themselves new living quarters with who knows what sort of comforts and other amenities.

FWIW
Wallsofjericho, find and use better scripts and only cite these two as you feel somewhere in the talk.
I've done this before with "boring" reference material. Haven't had a lecture yet.

Weren't any stumbled where I was, we just wondered what dictionary definition
he was using, and what else he may have been. Da fing is, there is a considerable amount of disquiet evident within the org today.
As we all "study our heritage" we become abundantly aware of the increase in human inconsistency
within the org that has origins going back many decades. And don't come back with the imperfect men like David bit.
BTW, during the consideration of this article the deafening silence of pioneers' answer's in the hall was eerie.

But Brother Mike, I still vividly recall the words of a D.O.
on dealing with the accusation of brainwashing.
"What's wrong with being brainwashed ????"
"I'm happy to be brainwashed if it gives me eternal life!!"
Be happy Bro Mike !!!

Bit like the resurrection shuffle on Gomorrah.
The Live Forever book in cdlib was updated to say no whereas
the Insight Vol 2 still states yes. You really need to double check
all wt references to see which one is the latest correct view.
I'm still in but am finding difficulty with the "driving standards stewards"
Its all a bit like CAMS they've got rules and statutes but don't know how
to apply them and when. ,,,,,, Confederation of Australian Motor Sport, that is

I asked an elder today...from the horse's mouth!
by Julia Orwell intoday's watchtower made out that the combining of branch offices around the world is a loving provision from jehovah to streamline the production, but i had to ask an elder afterwards, even though i already knew the answer.... "if the wts is selling off bethels and brooklyn property and cutting the publishing costs and commitments, then where is all that money going?".
elder replies, "well the donations are just not coming in anymore and so they have to sell off property to stay afloat.".
gee, i thought if this was jehovah's approved organisation carrying vital truth to the world, then he'd be making sure the donations would be sufficient.

Hi Julia fyi
Searching for something else and came across this thread.
I am in Oz and in 2011 the non profit financial return showed that
$18,388,395.00 was received in donations. Up from $13,378,741.00
in year ended August 2010.
Donations and overseas aid (outgoings) was $ 4,720,856.00, this
amount was apart from the rest being spent in oz for
teaching, evangelizing and bethel services.
