  Think Fast…

  ..to ease their conscience, a WTS insider emails you some very damaging information about the Borg. When the WTS lawyers find out that you have the information, they offer you a $10,000,000 settlement to keep you quiet. The only two strings of which are of which you can’t use the money for yourself and you can’t use the money for putting up ex-JW sites on the Internet.

  How would you use the money? Would you take the settlement for your silence? You might be able to do a lot of good with the money.

  Well Gawrsh,

  I'd donate the whole kit and kaboodle back to the WTS. I mean, just think of the tax deduction!

  Let's see if we can work this for all it's worth:

  The WTS is willing to give me $10 MILLION American Dollars to keep quiet about a scandal??

  I would:

  Take the money and put it in my savings account for 6 months, to draw interest while I decided who deserved to get the money.

  At the end of the 6 months, I would have a "Crisis of Conscience" and return the $10 MILLION American Dollars to the WTS. Not as a donation either. I would write a letter to the Governing Body and say "I cannot in good conscience accept this money from you if it means my keeping this knowledge from going public. Here is your BRIBE money back. As the apostles of the first century declared: I cannot stop speaking about the things I have seen and heard."

  Then I would go to CNN and tell the scandal to the whole freakin' world. I would write a book about it, and have it published. I would accept an invitation from Oprah to go and talk about it.

  On the other hand, I could just take the money and blab to the press anyway. It would be using "Theocratic War Strategy" in reverse.

  Sheesh you guys! You must have never heard about the old JW joke of the millionare Witness who was on his death bed and who wanted to teach the elders in his congregation the truth about how the love of money is the root of all evil, so a week before he died he gave each of three elders $100,000 in cash but told them they could have the money only so long as he was alive.

  During his funeral, each of the three elders threw in a large envelope just before his casket was sealed and buried. They later got together and were talking about how great this brother was but suddenly one of the elders started crying and said to the other elders that he had only given back $80,000 in the envelope because he had lost $20,000 at the casino. Saddened by this heart wrenching confession, another elder pleaded, please forgive me brothers for I have sinned too. I only gave back $50,000 as I needed a new service car, I had to pay my kids medical bills, and my wife wanted to fix up the house. The presiding overseer just shook his head at both of these elders and said, "I'm really shocked at you brothers. I threw in a check for the entire $100,000."

  Well, inspired by this fine example...I would take the 10 million but make damn sure that someone else accidently on purpose discovered the dirt and let them get their payoff and keep going until the Borg was bankrupt.
