What does the WTBTS really need expansion? Money...Fame....Power ?
by RULES & REGULATIONS ini purchase all my lawn and snow equipment from the same hardware store near my house.
thirty- five years ago, they employed only four people...a father and his three sons.
today, this same family owned company employs over 100 workers and operates five warehouses near a 50 mile radius full of lawn and snow equipment.

About Shunning WT means Double Tongue?
by megabyte_vijay inhttps://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/faq/shunning/.
those who were baptized as jehovah’s witnesses but no longer preach to others, perhaps even drifting away from association with fellow believers, are not shunned.
in fact, we reach out to them and try to rekindle their spiritual interest.. we do not automatically disfellowship someone who commits a serious sin.

The Orwellian Doomsday Cult and its use of HOPE.
by Half banana inif you are the financial managers of a doomsday cult what you have to do is keep the punters permanently in expectation of the end.. failures of prophecy are par for the course in the snake oil world of selling armageddon and paradise.
all humans when in trouble can activate an escape from their troubles through possession of the emotion, manufactured in the brain which we call hope.. people who have cried “wolf!” ten times already can no longer be trusted.......”those who saw 1914 will also see the end of the system of things”.............how many lives were thoroughly wasted on this tripe?
how does a doomsday cult survive after its inevitable and repeated prophetic failures?
