If you were just visiting JW.org as an interested one, would articles like this impress you?
by NikL inhttps://www.jw.org/en/news/releases/by-region/japan/volunteers-repair-over-300-homes-following-earthquakes/.
it made me fell like, la ti da!
you helped members of your own church..

If you read the article carefully you will find that there was a period of three months between the earthquake happening and the actual volunteer construction work by the JWs. This delay would have allowed for insurance assessors to process any claims. Insurance companies in Japan do not repair or rebuild your home, you have to organize it yourself and as work is completed make the claim for the value of the work.
This then begs the question: Who received the insurance money for the value of the labor? Was it the JW volunteers? No, they were volunteers. Was it the JW home owner? Yes. Did tbe JW home owner have to pay the JW volunteers? No.

We are becoming champions of grief. We lost twin B.
by Darkknight757 inlast week we had a reassurance ultrasound with our ob.
she was just supposed to check heartbeats on the two little ones and they were going strong!
but because she had extra time and she can be quite anal about her work (which is a good thing) she decided to take some measurements.

The Trump Connection
by Coded Logic ini'm a little dumb struck to see that donald trump's first cross word against russia are in support of the jws.. http://fox-news24.com/trump-warns-russia-over-jehovahs-witnesses-ban-and-urges-members-to-seek-asylum-in-the-us/.
is this because trump genuinely values freedom of religion?
or is it because his son in law jared kushner has financial dealings with the jws?

Try the following link which is from the Australian Child Abuse Royal Commission which will help you with part of your query. See page 18 (facsimile copy below) of the final finding re: JWs and Watchtower.
Add to the 821 legal entities the following:
- Watchtower Bible & Tract Society of Australia Ltd (branch office)
- Watchtower Travel Ltd (a travel company that is set up allowing it to receive financial kickbacks from conventions and hotel accomodation)
- Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses Ltd (set up in up 2013 to deflect child abuse lawsuits and to protect the assets - this corporation is operated differently from the corporation of the same name registered in the USA)
By having each congregation registered this means the three elders who are registered as trustees have accepted all legal responsibility on behalf of Watchtower and the governing body.
"Jehovah's Witnesses", the religion in itself, does not exist as a legal entity. Technically and legally speaking it exists only in the minds of people who claim they are 'Jehovah's Witnesses'.

Ghost image of the Apostle Paul appears on Google maps
by jwleaks ini found this ghost image on google maps of the apostle paul walking on one of his missionary journeys through the region now known as turkey.. evidently the google map car was able to capture the spiritual afterglow of the apostle paul while he was walking along a roadway on his one of his missionary journeys.
interestingly the google mapping computer was able to create an overlapping image from the first century and from the twenty-first century.. .

JW news release and deception - The "High-Profile Case" in Russia
by jwleaks ini found this interesting bit of news release propaganda by the jws on their website dated april 5, 2017.. "russia's supreme court begins high-profile case against jehovah's witnesses".
https://www.jw.org/en/news/releases/by-region/russia/supreme-court-begins-case-against-jehovahs-witnesses/.
my interest was piqued by the jw claim that the court hearing is a "high-profile case".

In the OP, and some of my earlier posts, I made mention about the JWs and Watchtower resorting to both propaganda and misleading information in their portrayal of the Russian Supreme Court hearing into banning the organization.
Below is a screen shot from the July 2017 study issue of The Watchtower magazine which, ironically, warns readers to be careful regarding "the use of biased or misleading information to manipulate the way people think." An example of which has been clearly evidenced in this forum discussion as it relates to Watch Tower's deceptive use of images of the Russian Supreme Court. What they portrayed as the truth vs reality were poles apart. A clear case of dangerous propaganda.

Jesus Christ dead for three days and three nights really?
by Crazyguy inhas anyone done a detail research on this subject?
the gospels seem to contradict one another and christians apologists have a bunch of different ways to try to explain away the problems.
has anyone have a concrete explanation for or against him truly being dead three days and three nights as the story goes?.

According to the bible Jesus was dead the equivelent of 0.5 spiritual seconds. How? The bible says that according to jehovah a thousand years is as one day. Therefore three days equals 0.5 seconds.

Just in case anyone missed it, in the real picture of the court hearing, centre left in the seats, the bald headed obese man with the double-neck is none other than governing body member of Jehovah's Witnesses, the supreme spiritual JW Russian leader, Mark Sanderson. The photo below of Sanderson was also taken inside the Russian court room.
