hi people,.
i want as much data as possible on the effect of the internet on the time captured by the cult.. please answer the three following questions about yourself or about someone you know (for example, if your parents or grandparents were jw's and left).
1) were you raised as a jw, or did you convert?.
1) were you raised as a JW, or did you convert? - Raised - born in 1957 (3rd generation jw)
2) when were you baptized/started seriously being with the witnesses? 1971
3) when did you leave/woke up completely? 1995 woke up to TTATT and fully left 2004
Please do the time difference between 2 and 3...I will let you do the math. I charge for any calculations.

Watchtower makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or reliability of the information herein for any purpose,
It would have been nice if this disclaimer was in the "Truth" book, and a few other publications. Especially when they proclaimed that "this generation will by no means pass away..."

It appears there is only one property, the empty lot at 85 Jay St. Is that what everyone else sees?
I agree that it is a bit confusing. They talk about "properties" but they only highlight one.

was sipping my coffee, browsing here and there, and then focussed on reading here regarding arc, picked up some world news on same subject - and wondered if jw org would publish any information on their news site.. then, i flicked to jw talk - anything in their public news forum?
a newish headline 'australia and jehovah's witnesses' or something like that - i entered link - web page error, not found.
nope.
Sam Herd's explanation is highly appreciated, as is the wisdom of the GB to use the funds wisely.
DS, I took a look at these comments from the link you posted. If comments related to the RC report were anything like this, is all I can do is shake my head in wonderment.
The people on this site have drunk the Kool-Aid, went back for seconds, and licked the bowl clean dry. These are not people that having a discussion with will create any value.
according to this jw video... now is the time to preach without fear!
now that the final days are here!.
the final days were not here previously (as they kept insisting for over 140 years)... but now they are!.
i think that 80% of jws do not truly believe in what they are taught .
the vast majority stay in because of family, friends, ignorance and a lack of caring about any of the facts regarding the "truth".
many people are lazy.
i am intrigued to know if there is truly any evidence of financial irregularities in the jehovah's witness organisation or if any one or group are raking off funds or benefitting financially...?.
whilst i disagree wholeheartedly with most of their teachings and practices, dogmatism, legalism and superiority complex, i don't honestly think there's anyone making millions at the top.
yes you could say that the gb are comfortably off, don't have to pay bills etc but they do actually get up in the morning and 'work', they aren't going off in private jets to tropical islands or driving bentleys.
Without any transparency there is no way of knowing. I suspect that the two key issues for their money woes include incompetency and litigation. They have probably had to hold a significant reserve for contingent liabilities related to pending litigation.
I work as an auditor - sometimes it is hard to distinguish between incompetency and fraud.
the watchtower are humans.
they have never had any conversation with any god, let alone one by a made up name.
they never had any power at all bestowed upon them.
