its clear there will be more wholesale cuts backs, their staff costs worldwide are very high indeed, but if they make more cut backs more sell offs of KH's,stopping printing,selling off assembly halls, etc they could face the possibility of fading away into complete oblivion, yet they claim to be the mouthpiece of god and who have to proclaim the kingdumb, this all costs an eye-watering fortune, its a wonderful conundrum they face, I dont really see what the long term future holds form them other than haemorrhaging more and more money, and the longer this system stays around in which it always will the more expensive it becomes for them LOL!

Dose Wt really have that much cash.
by joe134cd ini realize that wt has got a wind fall of cash through various means.
so my question is in the greater scheme of things is it really that much.
for example let's say with all their real estate and cash on hand they are worth about $20 billion dollars.

they showed their true colours, how ridiculously pathetic showing you videos of disabled/handicapped jw's etc, I think I would have lost it there and then, patronising and very disrespectful, lets hope you've heard the last of them, I wouldn't give them the time of day in the future.

how could I forget this, those god forsaken disgusting old cows in my KH who thought they had some sort of singing talent trying to hit those high notes, I detested them ,although I liked the songs, it gave a respite from the mind numbing monotony of the meetings/ass'emblies.Old school DC closing songs.

always makes me chuckle comparing a modern day dangerous high control group that has destroyed the lives of millions with a world wide child abuse cover up, and with thousands who have died needlessly due to an insane prohibition on blood in medical emergencies and have over a century of failed an false so called prophecies to The Israelite's and ancient Christians! madness!

In praise of Randall Watters
by nicolaou inexjw's of a certain age will remember randy's site well.
freeminds was instrumental in waking me up along with ray franz's books.
if net soup and armageddon okies mean nothing to you you're probably under 30.. whatever caused randy to post what he did recently is something i can only guess at but it won't be what i remember him for.. randy, i wish you well and thank you for all you've done over the years .

even pre interweb, Bethel Ministries made a huge difference in my leaving, I much preferred the old name as well, he even printed my testimony, I'm at a loss what made him post his issues with Barbara Anderson and I hope he can resolve it soon, he was a so instrumental in those early days and I must mention David Reed also

Now I'm Convinced There Probably Is No God
by pale.emperor inyesterday i made a visit to the museum in my city.
the top floor is the planetarium, which has a connecting room with a huge dome ceiling where they project lessons and lectures and you have a 360 view of the night sky etc.. this particular lecture explained about our galaxy, and how it's only one of billions in the universe.
and then we learned about each planet, some of their moons and the sun.

sounds like it could be a genuine social visit, you say they are a nice couple so it wouldn't ring too many alarm bells, it all depends if you can be bothered to entertain them and have to make an effort, TBH I couldn't be asked, when I was fading while my ex remained loyal I dodged every single "social" invite that she was purposely setting in the hope that it would reactivate me, it didn't. Also I knew I had to be very careful what I spoke about and if I was to say anything that was not of the party line I would be quickly reported, I cant bear such hypercritical superficial people. It sounds like your wife is just a sceptical about the visit as you are, so its probably best to do everything possible to keep them at bay, at the end of the day nothing beneficial will come out of such a visit and I expect you have far better things to be doing with your time.
