Two competing organizations at work here that want to indoctrinate the youth at any cost. No surprise that the one with an earthly army won over the one with a heavenly army.

WTS action on Conti's case 3/27/2013
by mind blown inas most suspected, the wts filed their brief, at least it looks that way..... http://appellatecases.courtinfo.ca.gov/search/case/dockets.cfm?dist=1&doc_id=2025979&doc_no=a136641.
it also notes aob in excess of word count limit.. wonder if they did that to buy more time?.

I'm sure the Contis didn't think the case was over. I'm surprised that anyone thought they were going to file an appeal and hire a new appeals lawyer and then just forget about filing the appeal. But yes, the appeal is not a rehearing. It's an allegation of legal errors. There will be no testimony and the parties don't have to attend.

He would never be allowed in Bethel with that beard. Who does he think he is, some kind of hipster from Williamsburg?

Alameda County Administrator makes $423,664 a year!
by VM44 inalameda county administrator's premium pay end hearst/article/premium_article_tools_480.tpl end premium_story_header.tpl article/types/premium_story.tpl hearst/common/author_name.tpl by matier & ross.
e hearst/common/author_name.tpl article_timestamp.tpl march 25, 2013. alameda county supervisors have really taken to heart the adage that government should run like a business, rewarding county administrator susan muranishi with the wall street-like wage of $423,664 a year.. for the rest of her life.. according to county pay records, in addition to her $301,000 base salary, muranishi receives:-- $24,000, plus change, in "equity pay" to guarantee that she makes at least 10 percent more than anyone else in the county.. -- about $54,000 a year in "longevity" pay for having stayed with the county for more than 30 years.. -- an annual performance bonus of $24,000.. -- and an additional $9,000 a year for serving on the county's three-member surplus property authority, an ad hoc committee of the board of supervisors that oversees the sale of excess land.. like other county executives, muranishi also gets an $8,292-a-year car allowance.. muranishi has been with the county for 38 years, and she's 63. when retirement day comes, she'll be getting a lot more than a gold watch.. that's because, according to the county auditor's office, muranishi's annual pension will be equal to the dollar total of her entire yearly package - $413,000.
she also has a separate executive private pension plan, for which the county chips in $46,500 a year.. "and she's worth every dime," said supervisor scott haggerty, who was on the board when it promoted muranishi to county administrator in 1995, voted for her and joined in approving her base pay and perks.. "we're lucky to have her," haggerty said.. he likens the job of running the county administration to being ceo of a $2.4 billion corporation, with 9,000 employees.. granted, the $2.4 billion is taxpayer money, and the county isn't set up to turn a profit.

I am not on the left coast and I have no idea how she's done in her job from an objective point of view. There are certainly lots of public servants who milk the system. But if someone is truly a great manager, I have no problem paying her that much in taxpayer money. I mean if you fire her and pay someone $100,000 out of principle to do the same job and that person doesn't run the county as efficiently and costs the taxpayers tens or hundreds of millions of dollars, you are cutting off your nose to spite your face by saving a few hundred thousand in salary.
Also, $400,000 is not Wall Street pay.

New light Watchtower magazine leaked from organization weeks ahead of general release
by cedars inhttp://jwsurvey.org/governing-body-2/new-light-watchtower-magazine-leaked-from-organization-weeks-ahead-of-general-release.
if doctrinal explanations are missing from the article, it is because they are also missing from the magazine.. i would like to give my thanks again to my source for supplying me with the magazine article weeks ahead of its scheduled release.
it showed remarkable courage, because risks were taken.

Great article. If only active members gave a tenth of the amount of thought to the doctrinal changes and basis (or lack thereof) for all of this new light.

He's obviously playing games, even though a nice guy. If it was me, I would respond in a day or two and not even address any of the JWisms in his message. I would tell him how great I was doing and how much I loved the job and ask how he and his family are doing. Lots of exclamation points, ya know?! I would probably do that for the principle of it, so they couldn't say I'm shunning them or whatever. Plus if it was somebody who'd been a friend at last contact and hadn't done anything personally...
Of course, you're opening yourself up for the next message to be to invite you over for a Saturday night WT study or something, so there's that. So weird and surreal, the way an exit has to work.

Who are the men that REALLY Run the WT?
by Zordino inwith all of the manipulating of people's lives and subliminaly coercing witnesses to give their wills and other belongings to the wt upon their death or sooner.
also with all of the manipulating of younger one's in terms of coercing them into not doing anything with they're lives except "spiritual pursuits" for the sole purpose of furthering their own corporate interests, is there possibly some men behind the scenes who really call the shots and using the gb just as puppets in a huge money making scam knowing full well the the whole jw thing is a complete pile of crap?
in other words, are these "bosses" conscientiously manipulating the r & f on purpose knowing full well what they are doing to their member's in so many ways?

Prodigal: Thanks for sharing. But all it seems like that other thread shows is that 10 years ago, REGI, which owned Rand Cam's techology, was a small company worth about $1 Million. It seems that currently, REGI, U.S. is a nonprofitable, publicly traded company that owns a couple of patents to engines and compressors. If you follow it up the chain, you get to the main company, REG Technologies, a Canadian company, that is currently worth about $4.5 Million. (Links at bottom)
Unless you have more evidence, this...
Rand Cam is right at the top of the Globalist Pyramid/Empire cooking up the most diabolical war technology imaginable and raking in the most money of all the "defense" contractors.
... is a joke

Just look at the business connections like Rand Cam.

Do you have a source for this? All indications that I can find indicate that this company is small and rather insignificant.
