expenses -vs- donations............. the fall of the Watchtower empire
by DaCheech inas long as i've been here, i have preached that $$$$$ will be the only way for the wt to drop.. many agree on a small level, but think the wt has deep pockets.. they may have deep pockets, but i bet the investments they have have lost quite a bit since 2001.. my main calculation reguards the following hypothesis::::::.
magazine and literature consumption -vs- donations.
i know of 2 congregations, and let me post some figures:.

JWs and Star Trek...
by Thylacine inone part of my experience with the jw's was that many of the elders in my congreagtion were die hard into star trek...i figured it was isolated to that one kh, but as i went to different ones, i noticed it was a lot of them.
one elder explained his fandom as: "it makes me think of the new system.
we will travel to other planets when the earth is full, and colonize the galaxy.

District Convention shortened to 2 days?!
by Prov1320 inpay attention, wts bethelites assigned to read apostate forums, this is a great cost reduction idea:.
shorten the dc from 3 to 2 days.
1. save a considerable amount of money.. 2. attendance is down anyway on friday.. 3. gas prices are still climbing.. 4. most people deposit their donation on the last 2 days into the heavily guarded contribution boxes (i worked in accounts at the dc, so i know this is a fact), so the wts will not lose any revenue.. 5. will lessen the "burden" of people having to take time off work (the twist is that they can say this is a "loving provision" from jah to help jws help make ends meet).. 6. one less day for apostate protests outside stadium.. comments?.

sex before marriage in the borg
by heyfea in(i don't know if i posted this already, since i got errors every time i tried) .
do you think that a lot of engaged jws have sex before getting married?
i think so, only a few fall into the guilt trip after they're married, and ultimately confess.

Being told what to say in Convention interviews
by passwordprotected inhas anyone else heard tell of interviewees in convention parts being told what to say?
the way i've heard it is you're contacted to be interviewed in a convention talk because you've had a great experience in some form or other and they need you to boast about it.
so, you meet with the brother handling the assignment and you go through your experience with him (boast about it).

At last, proof that Jesus Predicted the Watchtower Society!
by Wasanelder Once inok, that's shameless, but it's the premise of this overdub i did of a jesus movie.
