    They need some marketing skills that exploit the natural appeal of GB adulation by the rank and file.

    How about a special copy of the NWT signed by the GB ?

    An auction for a private dinner with the GB ?

    the possibilities are endless.

    Up here in Canada our CO's & DO's drive bran new Toyota Camrys. Years ago we told not to drive imports or luxury cars due to costs and I have to drive a Ford Fusion.

    and not only did the letters get read from the kids who saved and scrimped their money just to send it to the org but the CO even went so far as to say" if someone is visiting from Bethel, why not reach into your pocket and give them something" !!! I could have sh....

    That was off the platform.. and I have never heard that before in all my time ..

    What ever happened to the end being right around the corner? Have we gone around the corner and stopped on Boardwalk with a hotel on it?

    Do we have to pay the owner of that property to pass GO, and collect more money? Has the WT organization been taken over by the Parker brothers?

    Ok so tonight there was no fund raising speech.Just the typical new light and how we need to ignore the constant changes and how Jehovah gave us a free night for a family study night. Im sure the GB says it comes directly from him

    I would rather sacrifice Jehovah and liberate my soul. Jehovah never did a damn thing for me, and it's high time he be brought down before he is capable of damning another soul.

    Most of the talks the CO's give are now fully scripted. Before they were able to give one talk each meeting of their own choice, now I think it is only one in total. Therefore, if two CO's have just given this same talk it would appear the outline was provided from above. (No, not that high above.)

    Cash flow is becoming a problem for them.....evidently. Tee Hee

    I hope it gets worse.

    As George Carlin used to say ( not verbatim, from memory) "God owns the Universe, everthing ! but he just can't handle his own current account !"

    If this is God's Organization, surely he will provide the funds ? Russell said when He did not, Russell would know it was time to stop publishing.

    maybe Big J is trying to tell the WT it is time to stop publishing,?

    que Big Booming Voice from Above:

    "Go on boys, be honest, just concentrate on being a Real Estate Business and stop pretending to be a religion"

    And the brothers were so poor that the whole congregation had only 1 bible. It cost the equivalent of a year's salary.

    Really? A whole year's salary?
