Soon, very soon as one generation overlaps another generation the mere mention that Watchtower owned billions of dollars of prime Brooklyn real estate, sold it and pocketed the cash, will be considered apostate talk.
As it is today, the mere mention that Watchtower used dedicated funds to build their president, JF Rutherford, the mansion Beth-Sarim, is called apostate lies.

Name one Watchtower date that they got correct
by FatFreek 2005 init was the year 2011. remember that one?
surprise, surprise -- it wasn't one of their predictions.
it was from one of their competitors, harold camping.. "religious leaders sometimes predict tragic worldwide events to warn mankind and gather followers.

If I remember correctly they couldn't even get the date of the death of CT Russell correct. This error necessitated a revision in the "Revelation It's Grand-Climax" book.
"RELIGIOUS LEADERS sometimes predict tragic worldwide events to warn mankind and gather followers. Doomsday prophet Harold Camping and his disciples widely advertised that the earth would be destroyed in 2011. Needless to say, the world is still here." Watchtower 2014 May 1 p.3
Camping made a prediction that Judgement day would occur on May 21, 2011 and the End of the World on October 21, 2011.
Interesting that Watchtower would knock these particular predictions given their own connection to the dates.
At the time of May 2011 permission was granted for criminal charges to be laid against the "faithful and discreet slave class" in a court in Victoria, Australia. Judgment Day indeed. The charges were filed on July 26, 2011. July 26 is now Watchtower memorial day. The charges were in relation to non-compliance with mandatory child protection laws. This action led to the current Australian Child Abuse Royal Commission into Jehovah's Witnesses.
At the time of October 2011 the "faithful and discreet slave class" ceased to exist and was replaced by the governing body. The death stroke occurred in a court in Victoria, Australia. End of the World indeed.
I predict that one day dates will mean nothing.

Do you believe that Jehovah is using the Organization today?
by Iamallcool inany elder has never asked me that question so far but i want to be prepared to answer that question if any of them ask me that question in the future.

any suggestions on how to answer that question would be very much appreciated.

"Do you believe that Jehovah is using the Organization today?"
Answer: Yes, because only jehovah would know the right season to off load his real estate empire and convert everything to cash just before Armageddon. He gets to sell out, make a profit and then gets it all back in the fire and sulphur sale. It's a win-win.

Here you go smiddy. I've resurrected it from the darkness of tartarus. It's good to know you've got powerful friends. It was a struggle. I battled with the dragon, with Michael and his angels, but it did not prevail. I cast them all down. Let that be a lesson Watchtower. You're next.

Watchtower Buildings Haunted by the Ghosts of Children Past
Secretary of the U.S. Army, Vincent Viola, has ordered the round up of all Watchtower officials after Ghostbusters confirmed that the former Watchtower buildings in Brooklyn are haunted by the cries of ghosts of the children past.
It has been estimated that over 20,000 US children, from the Jehovah's Witnesses religion, are keeping Brooklyn residents up at night with cries for justice against the abuse they suffered within the religion of Jehovah's Witnesses.

Amos 3:7 - Who is the prophet?
by jwleaks inwho today claims to be god's prophets?
if the governing body of jehovah's witnesses deny this, or state before onlookers that it would be presumptuous to believe they are the only prophets or only spokesperson that god is using - such as geoffrey jackson's statement at the arc (when taken in the context of the question) - then who does the scriptural statement default to?

Ruby456 - legal speak is different from religious speak. religious speak exceeds legal definition. Can you imagine if we lived our lives by legal speak - we would simply destroy one another
Here is a scenario: If the Watchtower and jehovah's witnesses appeared before a human rights tribunal or court, that has authority to hear religious claims, against me "jwleaks" because they said I was apostate? Who would the apostate be?
Legal speak?
Religious speak?
What if during the trial the Watchtower and jehovah's witnesses declared under oath, after swearing on the bible, that they do not consider "jwleaks" to be an apostate? What if at the same time I maintained they are the apostates and they did not argue the claim, legally or religiously? Who then would the apostate be?
