Marmot and truthseeker - posting here is publishing of a sorts. I am not interested in financial profit from this information, I am interested in other exJWs, like myself, knowing the truth about the WTS. Maybe it will make a book someday - in the meantime, I guess this is my draft work. (mind you...I am not above accepting financial rewards...Lol! If JWs can profit from spreading noblood propaganda and making real estate deals with the WTS, I would think that profiting from exposing them is acceptable).
I have made a post about the JWs involved in the production of noblood propaganda on this thread here:

But to keep this thread on track, I want to post some more information about Reibling, the JW real estate guru. What interests me about this particular JW is this: It is ironic that the members of our exJW forums all speak about the rank and file JWs being mainly poor and uneducated, yet there are many JWs who obviously belong to a different class than the peons who eek out a bare minimum living, trying to make their monthly donations, and being told not to go to university or get educated beyond the minimum.
Lorenz Reibling has an education - a Masters degree in Organizational Management. yet he teaches history - I find that to be odd. That a person can teach history without an educational background that reflects the discipline. However, I think it is quite possible that Professor Reibling has earned his 'professor' title teaching the discipline that he acquired his Masters degree in - "Organizational Management with focus on maximizing intellectual capital". I still question his quallifications for teaching history, but if anyone is interested in taking a class from him, he will be teaching at the Woods College of Advancing Studies in Boston College this fall semester. That is, if you are interested in learning history with a Watchtower bias built into the course.
ADHS 126301 Hitler, The Churches, and the Holocaust
To better understand the climate and complexities that contributed to the Christian church's weakened responses to Hitler's policies, the course examines the development of Christian anti-Judaism, anti-Semitism and nationalism. It analyzes the resistance that emerged in response to totalitarianism and to the Holocaust, and considers the main Christian post-Holocaust efforts as they contribute to theological development and current thinking.

U.S. Embassy Organizes a Presentation on Holocaust (April 23, 2012)
The Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy hosted Mr. Robert Buckley, consultant for the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, and Professor Lorenz Reibling, Boston College, for the public lecture “Holocaust: History and its Lessons.” Cultural Attache, Lola Petrova introduced guest speakers to invited audience. The lecture took place at Tbilisi State University. It is estimated that 11 million people were killed during the Holocaust. Six million of these were Jews. In his lecture, Mr. Robert Buckley overviewed the history of Nazi Germany and provided facts about Holocaust.
He presented slides of U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and shared the story of how it was created. Students and invited guests learnt that in addition to Jews, the Nazis targeted Gypsies, homosexuals, Jehovah’s witnesses, and the disabled for persecution. Anyone who resisted the Nazis was sent to forced labor or murdered in concentration camps. Mr. Buckley mentioned extermination camps and talked about Auschwitz, which was the largest concentration camp. Professor Rebilling of Boston College also provided a brief presentation on Nazi persecution of religion and Christian Churches. At the end of the lecture, Mr. Buckley thanked Ms. Nana Mamagulishvili, Head of TSU Public Relations Office for hosting and gifted TSU library with a book on U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.
