  hi folks.

  i apologize if this is old news to some, but it's news to me.. i stumbled on a comprehensive list of all the sold properties on wikipedia on this link... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/watch_tower_bible_and_tract_society_of_pennsylvania#brooklyn_property_sales.

  it's just a mind-boggling amount of money, and useful information to have handy when talking to witness relatives.

  @ eldenno - would be interested in your feedback on the recent Mormon move to online preaching and the relative sophistication of various religious websites

  Not sure if the WTS publishes a number of full time personnel that they support financially

  Would be interesting to graph that number against the $ value and see what the correlation is.

  "you have no idea!

  yes, people hate jws!".

  this statement was made to me by a jw who had just left a meeting to present the notion that they were the persecuted christians.

  Confusing NORTH Korea with SOUTH and making a "look how stupid the JWs are" message out of it, does not exactly give you a VERY high credibility.

  Give him a break - he neverknew :-)

  Treyvor Martin's life will have meaning if we Americans kill less of each other in the years to come.

  90% gun ownership is clearly not enough - you Americans need more guns to make sure y'all are safe to walk the streets.

  Obama - If I had a son he would actually look more like Zimmerman, kinda, now that I've thought about it.

  Open letter – Re: Mr. Bowen, Mrs. Anderson

  by Prime in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  "jws leaders need to mandate elder bodies to uniformly report abuse to the authorities no matter what jurisdiction; prohibit elders from being involved in any investigative process to decide guilt or innocence in place of the authorities; do away with the two-witness rule to determine, as if they were magistrates, guilt or innocence of someone accused; prohibit so-called repentant molesters from engaging in the door-to-door ministry, and always inform the congregation if a convicted or confessed molester is meeting with them.

  " -barbara anderson .

  this is another reason why the watchtower society doesn't require that the elders uniformly report abuse to the authorities no matter what jurisdiction.

  does 'brazenly' debating apostates make the JW debater apostate himself?

  @prime - make it simple for me

  why are elders instructed to call the Watchtower legal department before doing anything else?
