They don't have to skim or pocket donations. There have been and probably still are charities whose president or the head honcho also owned the company(s) the charity used to do all of their marketing, etc. I remember one spent over 90% of the money it raised on direct mail marketing and those millions went to a company owned by the president of the charity to provide those services. He wasn't stealing, and technically it was legal. So take that concept an apply it to all of the different vendors the WT uses, and many of the vendors the WT uses are owned by JW's. For those vendors who get millions a year, what transpired for them to be selected and how did they get those companies? Are they a publisher of a congregation and just happened to own the company and the WT started using them? Were they high up in the organization and were given the green light that if he started a company they would send the business to them?

New theory on GB or the mysterious people who profit from all the money going to the WT
by EndofMysteries inwith all the money grabs and shady things going on, you wonder how can they actually believe they are representing god and even believe in god and still be doing these things.. then i thought, what if a trend started awhile back, people who gave up everything and got high in the org, but also since they got high up, they were privy and learned things that convinced them it was a lie.
now if they remained believers, they may end up like ray franz, a true believer wouldn't want to deceive people seeking god, they would be afraid of god's wrath.. since as is shown on this board many also become athiests, some could have become so while still in and in high ranks.
at this point they think of their options, a. leave, screwed, welfare, older they are the harder to adjust and everybody turns on them or b. kind of shady but the org and everyone put them in this position and they will turn on them in a heartbeat with no remorse so he is going to beat them to it and insure the rest of his/their lives are well taken care of and going to get rich off it.. so those higher ups who turn athiest opt for option b since they don't believe in any god and since the whole org will turn on them for disagreeing and not believing and leave them with nothing, they will instead keep working their way up, start companies for the things wt already buys, turn it into a big cash cow for themselves.

Window-washer is the cover of Feb 2015 WT, "How to enjoy your work!" Hahaha!!
by EndofMysteries in.
after all the jokes and satire on this website about jw's only being able to amount to window washers and house cleaners, the cover page of "how to enjoy your work" showing a window washer and cleaner in the back ground.
i almost wonder if some awakened, still-in, from this site is part of the writing department or illustrations and put that in there as an inside joke for us?.

"I have a "cough, cough" health condition, and need to winter in Cali." - What? Are you implying when Rutherford had the mansion built for the princes that would be resurrected in 1925 to lead the Lords work all the way in beautiful California on the other side of the country from where the Lord's headquarters were located that he was anything but sincere in that and never intended to live there himself?

Then I thought, what if a trend started awhile back, people who gave up everything and got high in the org, but also since they got high up, they were privy and learned things that convinced them it was a lie. Now if they remained believers of God and the bible, they may end up like Ray Franz in that they leave and try to start a fresh life with nothing, a true believer wouldn't want to deceive people seeking God, they would be afraid of God's wrath if they were to do what I'm about to mention...
Since as is shown on this board many also become athiests, some could have become so while still in and in high ranks. At this point they think of their options, A. Leave, screwed, welfare, older they are the harder to adjust and everybody turns on them or B. Kind of shady but the org and everyone put them in this position, they don't believe in God anyway, and all the followers and the organization will turn on them in a heartbeat with no remorse like they did to Ray Franz so he is going to beat them to it and insure the rest of his/their lives are well taken care of and going to get rich off it.
So those higher ups who turn athiest opt for option B since they don't believe in any God and since the whole org will turn on them for disagreeing and not believing and leave them with nothing, they will instead keep working their way up, start companies for the things WT already buys, turn it into a big cash cow for themselves. Instead of them getting shunned and left on the street for learning TTATT, they become millionaires and laugh all the way to the bank as the drones who would toss them aside are making them money. They may even have intensions of destroying the organization from the inside out while getting rich, so they support and help push for tighter control and asking for more money, etc, so while they get rich, people will start to wake up too, and perhaps by the time they are done, the whole system crashes.

Money Grab?
by mikeypants inso, i was at the hall when they announced the new mortgage payoff donation thingy a few months.
yes, thats about what i got out of it.. i raised my hand when they did the resolution but, like most witnesses, i really had no idea what was going on.
does anyone ever say nay to those?.

" and how would they extrapolate that money toward themselves ?" - by setting up car sales business to lease to all the CO's, by owning the remodeling companies used for all the building projects and having no bids from 'worldly' companies all contracts go to them by default, by owning the stock management companies for all the investments to get all the commissions. Same deal as the non profit charities scams when 95% of the money raised goes to the company who mails and handles all advertising and marketing that just happens to be owned by the president of the charity.

At this point I wouldn't even be surprised if the money grabbers are so called 'apostates' high up. They figure the GB screwed them, and everybody is being mindless drones, so instead of leaving they worked their way up, started companies, and going to milk this machine figuring they are getting back and at the same time maybe going to wake people up.

What would make it even funnier is it's probably one of the GB's suites. Where else would they take that photo? So not only is this spiritual food for the R@F but also for those in Bethel to have a big smile on their face while moving in nice furniture, washing windows, doing gardening for the GB.

" I also smile at all my former aquaintences huddled at the coffee shop on Saturday mornings as I'm taking the boat out. It's a hassle to get the boat & trailer in the coffee shop parking lot, but well worth the looks I get." - Now that's funny! I wish I could see that haha.

Great, if anything the court should allow them to sue the WT org. I bet if the WT org was responsible for those who die for not taking blood, "new light" would quickly be revealed that it is infact okay to take blood.
