Can the Watchtower Society survive without time reports?
by DT inthere has already been much discussion about how the watchtower society has declared in australia that going door to door is part of a personal ministry.
this seems to be a lame attempt to avoid liability considering that they require time reports and have formal meetings for field service at the kingdom hall.. this is a bit of a dilemma.
reporting time and formal meetings for field service are important methods of control, however it's not clear if the organization is willing or able to handle the potential liability that may come from this.. imagine what would happen if they lost these methods of control.

Education Policy
by Martin Harker ini was raised a catholic until the age of eight which was a normal life.
my mother took everything the jws said literally and this destroyed my schooling and education.. the issue that i have with this religion is that they contradict what they say about education and elders encourage parents to prevent kids from gaining a college or university education as the jw objectives should be the primary goal in life.. they sometimes seemed to encourage education and recently i checked and now they are saying that education leads to alienation and suicide.
they state that university leads to immorality and drug taking.

Is Watchtower Having Financial Problems?
by 2tone ini have to wonder if the watchtower is having financial problems of some sort.
at the very least they are spending more than they are taking in.
which would explain all of the cutbacks of the last decade.

50 years of children dying for the Watchtower.
by nicolaou ini'm sure there may be earlier accounts of jehovah's witness children dying due to the watchtower's evil blood policy but i came across this one and had to post it.
boys and girls like renate gross have suffered and died for decades with no real end in sight.
we may not know them but we should never forget them - i don't think any of us here do.. .
