Yah, bethel survives/prospers on handouts. If those peter out, they might have to get real jobs, or take their panhandling to the streets.

A few words of Carl Sagan on jw's still believing the lies!

Carl Sagan........
One prominent American religion confidently predicted that the world would end in 1914. Well, 1914 has come and gone, and -- while the events of that year were certainly of some importance -- the world does not, at least so far as I can see, seem to have ended. There are at least three responses that an organized religion can make in the face of such a failed and fundamental prophecy. They could have said, "Oh, did we say '1914'? So sorry, we meant '2014.' A slight error in calculation. Hope you weren't inconvenienced in any way." But they did not. They could have said, "Well, the world would have ended, except we prayed very hard and interceded with God so He spared the Earth." But they did not. Instead, they did something much more ingenious.

They announced that the world had in fact ended in 1914, and if the rest of us hadn't noticed, that was our lookout.
It is astonishing in the face of such transparent evasions that this religion has any adherents at all.
But religions are tough. Either they make no contentions which are subject to disproof or they quickly redesign
doctrine after disproof. The fact that religions can be so shamelessly dishonest, so contemptuous of the
intelligence of their adherents, and still flourish does not speak very well for the tough-mindedness of the
believers. But it does indicate, if a demonstration were needed, that near the core of the religious experience is
something remarkably resistant to rational inquiry."

Concerning the Sagan quote, (thanks clarity) I find it curious that Sagan even would know enough about the witnesses to make such a precise and accurate comment. He hit the nail on the head. Did he ever have a connection to the witnesses? family members or something?
