I am prepared to wait and see about things like printing and distribution of the mags by third parties and Bethel not paying the monthly stipend? I don't think so.

Bethel Economy
by sp74bb inrevelation 6:6 kjv.
6 and i heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, a measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.. this prophecy starts to be true in south europe bethels..... according to our sources, bethel families have been asked to reduce their food allowance and even been informed that monthly contribution might not be paid.. meantime, one of these branches is sending millions of € every year as donation to other wt structures, not to mention the 7 digit number on their bank account.
bethel members are not blind ;).

God does not desire any to be destroyed?
by stuckinarut2 inso if the idea is promoted that god doesn't want anyone to be destroyed, why does he make it so confusing for people to learn about him?.
why are there thousands of differing religions?.
why has "his only true organisation" even taught so many varying doctrines?.

Sorry for the blatant self promotion stuckinarut but I am going to link to and old thread of mine on this subject as there are some great comments that back up everything that has been said on here and may be of interest to new ones.
This subject is one of the biggest thing that struck me as I started to wake up.

you will make compartments in the ark and cover it with tar inside and outside.

Bunker Video: Why No Concluding Scene?
by Wild_Thing ini was wondering why they ended the "bunker video" as they did ... with an armed militia finding the jws huddled in the corner of the basement ... fade to black.
the jws watching don't know what happened after that.
did they kill them?

Don't forget that the teaching has been that when the authorities actually start to take action against the Witnesses then it is like them touching God's pupil and that's when he kicks off Bruce Lee style. All the basement dubs shall be safe and sound until they are whisked into the noob order with cuddly melons and juicy lions.

I will be at Brighton at least some of the time as I want to make the most of the videos for their anti-witnessing value with my family.

Moral indignation against "faders" shows JW apologists are morally bankrupt
by slimboyfat ini came across this weird blog that castigates fading jws for their "cowardice" and "hypocrisy" for not making themselves vulnerable to shunning.
apparently in the view of this blogger jws who discover it's not the truth are morally obliged to play by the watchtower rules and face the consequences of shunning.. http://jwresearchblog.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/fading-faking-and-lying-as-unbelieving.html#comment-form.
what is absent from the blog post is any discussion of the statement in the july 2009 awake!, that no one should be made to choose between their beliefs and their family.

Good catch SBF. It's just like when you hear time and time again ones saying that if you don't want to be a Witness just leave, no one's stopping you, no one's holding you hostage. As soon as you point out the result is ruined relationships with friends and family they then say it's the fault of the person for wanting out, they only have themselves to blame.

All downloads no longer hosted on jw.org
by neat blue dog inwhether it's videos on jw broadcasting or pdfs on jw.org, all downloads used to be archived in-house at "assets.jw.org/" followed by the items name/code.
now clicking a download link retrieves the items from akamai.net, a web services company..

AJ - they have been using outside contractors on building projects, including halls, for a while now. They even have an article about it on JW.org at the moment

Too true Blondie. I've only really noticed it since I have moved to the fringes of the congregation but your experience is still happening day in day out.
