I sure hope you are right.
Again my biggest fear is mass suicide when the walls of Watchtower come crashing down.
If GB members end up in prison or are forced to testify in court, it'll all happen very quickly.
the internet is the archive for civilization.. watchtower cannot hide it's history.. are we seeing the beginning of a mass exodus out of her?.

i hope that writing this, there will be some lurkers that i can shake.. if you have not listened to mays tv broadcast, please do.
it may wake some up.. note @ around 21-22 minutes into the broadcast lett brings up the the kingdom halls/assembly hall loans have been cancelled and the congregation can now send in what they can afford.
wow...how many banks would do that?.
The biggest kick to the crotch is that the local JWs never really owned the property they had a mortgage on to begin with. JWs are being asked to pay for/remodel property that they will never own.
The elders may be on the title, as long as they remain elders.
If the local property get sold, the money will ALWAYS end up in WT's bank account.
If HQ decides your hall needs to be sold because Jehovah needs more money, there's not a thing YOU can do about it. Well you can drive 30 minutes to the next closest KH... Joy!
what is god's kingdom?
some say it is in your heart.
some say it is heaven.
What are you hoping to achieve? We've all seen behind the curtain, here.
You know Harm-you-gettin' was supposed to come in 1914, yes?
Mixed signal? Lil' static on God's one channel of communication?
He didn't mean 1914, he meant after 2015...

With the estimated 100k JWs leaving every year, that's a lot of donation potential the GB needs.
Jehovah needs money.
Where are the "real" growth stats?
could this be a "wake up trigger" question to a nosy elder?.
"how many pedophile lawsuits are the wts legal team currently defending?".
how would/could they answer?why should the answer be secret?.
Any elder must know the seriousness of the situation.
The comments found in the "Flock" book and BOE letters about dodging media/phoning WTS Legal dept and the like when questioned about the pedophile issue is alarming.
What kind of excuses can be justified to keep this information secret?
Then you see the May2015 JWbroadcast and realize these lawsuit judgement/settlements aren't going to pay themselves. Sacrifice your firstfruits ( make a deposit into god's heavenly bank account. Then Stephen Lett will be careful spending "Jehovah's Money"® )
Won't the elders start waking up since they know the truth about the so-called forgiven mortgages?
I don't know if the answer is available, The number of lawsuits and total donated monies to defend/settle must be staggering.
That being said, please give some commentary!!
i am sure that the gb does not care about the r&f jw.
it does not care about the organization collapsing overnight.. why do i say this?.
in 2013 the organization declared that the "faithful and discreet slave" consisted only of the seven member of the gb.
It has to be an act at the top.
This madness cannot really be believed?
It gets hard to focus clearly on the fuzzy Wednesday afternoon and the like secrecy
what is god's kingdom?
some say it is in your heart.
some say it is heaven.
Why not explain the overlapping generation?
Tell us how watching cartoons at the meetings is evidence of Jehovah's Holy Spirit.

I'm only 23:00 in.
This is a spoof right? The Broadcast site is hacked, yes?
This video will do damage in two ways:
1. JWs will give more money they don't have.
2. JWs will awaken from Watchtower.
I'm cheering on number two.

The out-right lies begin at around 9:00.
This is amazing. Just think about the BOE letter that directs the congs to continue paying the KH loans that were forgiven. ( link needed, please )
10:20ish and beyond:
"Often a member of the GB will be heard saying: In spending "Jehovah's money", we have to be more careful than we are in spending our own money- and that is truly how we feel about the matter".
Gee, I wonder why? It is YOUR money! Charlatans!!
I can't watch any more right now...
