  "do you appreciate the difference between faith"

  Do you even know what faith is? If so, please explain it to me so that I too can understand that this concept isn't based on no evidence, no facts and isn't at all or in any way blind.

  So I take it that you're all atheists?

  If not, why not?

  I hate to say things like this, but anyone that believes one sentence in the bible, is a few teeth short of a snail.

  That Satan fellow is so clever. He thinks he can rock the faith of witnesses the world over, by placing these fake bones, fossils, etc.

  He'll never rock my faith toward the organisation......

  So a God of love will kill approximately 7 billion people?

  That's one of the reasons why I am an atheist and also why I call it Armagenocide.

  Also, I would like to add that all of this is the interpretation of the the Governing Body. I have friends that are Catholics, Church of England, etc. and their religions do not teach that God will wipe out nearly every human.

  Therefore, my two questions are as follow:

  1.) "Aren't the interpretations (views) of the Governing Body, rather extremist? For they claim that even the President of the USA, the British Royal Family, etc. will all be killed in a terrible way."

  2.) "Therefore, shouldn't more governments look at following the same tactics as those implemented by the Russian government?"

  "I have a question

  Real estate, other companies, cheques people donate - all that is easy to trace. Money from the congregations - that too would be easy to trace.

  What about all that cash. The cash that comes in at conventions.

  How easy is it for them to stash the cash?"

  Basically, it's a fairly easy process. You see, each congregation is, what we call in accounting terms, a Cost Centre (or Center if you're from across the pond). Each one of these Cost Centres makes monthly payments to The Worldwide Work Fund (or they did in my day). The monies collected from the WWF is sent to the Organisation (Watch Tower, not Watchtower). The Watch Tower company is exactly that, a company! It has to pay invoices to suppliers, utility bills, etc.

  I would instruct my clients (the big-wigs in the Watch Tower) to register various IBC's (International Business Companies), possibly in The Seychelles and BVI (British Virgin Islands). When we form the companies, we issue something called a Shares Certificate. Normally, these Share Certificates hold the information of the Beneficial Owners, e.g. the real owners of the company. But when you register an IBC, there are certain legal loopholes that allow Nominee Shareholders to be listed on the Shares Certificate, meaning that the actual owners of the IBC are listed, not as the WTS, but as my company. That is the meaning of Nominee Shareholders/Directors. We basically replace our details with that of the real owners.

  If you're thinking that no company would do this, because a level of trust would be needed, companies like mine issue something called a Letter of Indemnity, meaning that even though we are the Shareholders (and possible Directors of the IBC), we must adhere to the requirements of the actual Beneficiary Owners.

  Interesting huh?

  The IBC's that we have now created for the WTS, are companies in their own right. These IBC's need to issue invoices so as to bring funds into the company. They mainly issue invoices to the Watch Tower. Prior to issuing any invoices, we draw up contracts between the IBC (Company X) and the Watch Tower, stating that "for the time period of X to Y, the Watch Tower has agreed to employ us as its Management & Administration company in this territory and that the monthly payment of $30,000 must be paid per calendar month". The Watch Tower happily makes these payments to Company X. They are basically taking money out of their right pocket and putting it in their secret coat pocket.

  So you see, removing monies from the Watch Tower is a fairly simple process (if done correctly).

  PS. Each District, Circuit Convention is a Cost Centre in its own right. Therefore, whenever you (well, not you, but some half-brain tool) make a donation, you are actually donating money to that specific Cost Centre, NOT the Watchtower.

  Good post JWfacts.

  As I stated previously, some Trusts are virtually undetectable. You can bet your bottom dollar that the reason JWfacts gave ("the GB would hold a fear of governments seizing their assets in an attempt to close them down, and the commercial system trying to sue them over pedophilia, blood transfusions and shunning") is one of the main reasons.

  But, I still adhere to my opinion that they have Trusts formed for monitary purposes too.

  Let me also add that there's actually nothing wrong with having Trusts. The thing that makes it wrong in my eyes, is that they (the Governing Body, Elders, Elders Wives, etc.) go on about how we should keep our lives simple as the end is just around the corner, yet, they run the organisation just like any business; budgeted forecasted accounts, subsidiary companies, Trusts, etc.

  That my friends, is what bursts my button....

  PS. I know some of you will say that they have to run it like that, but that excuse doesn't wash with me. If they are truly God's Earthly Organisation, then surely he would look after his own? Or does Jehovah inform the GB (via "New Light") that the Legal & Finance Departments have to carry out projected accounts, legal taskings, etc.....

  Mad Sweeney posted "I'm fairly ignorant on this trust issue. What's the point of setting up a trust in a foreign country? To avoid taxes?"

  ......Hi Mad Sweeney.

  Our clients open Trusts for many reasons. We have had clients that wanted to hide funds from their spouse. But mostly, the main reason is for tax issues. Trusts formed in jurisdictions like The Seychelles, The Cook Islands, BVI, etc. are tax havens. Trusts are not taxed if they are managed by an agent that is a resident in the country where the Trust is established. Also, because our clients use companies like the one I work for, their details are not on the Trust. Therefore, when the going gets tough, they can store vast sums of cash in Trusts and only their agents (companies like mine) know about it.

  The secondary reason is mostly due to legal duress reasons. For example, we have had clients that are expecting their company to be put into liquidation by the local government. In situations like this, they open Trusts (normally in The Cook Islands as Trusts are practically untouchable if setup properly in that jurisdiction), store their cash in them and then sit back and wait for for the liquidators to come along and wind up the company. This normally affects Partnerships, as LLC's are covered by the capital that was invested in them when the company was formed.

  My two cents....
