Sounds entertaining. I would have told Elder 1 to step away from the cheeseburger, Elder 2 to retire, Elder 3 to grow a pair, and Elder 4 to start his own religion.

Elders who dislike other congregation elders
by RULES & REGULATIONS inmy congregation had four elders who had different personalities.you would see a little friction among themselves.. #1 self-righteous and the 800 pound gorilla.he would push everyone around in the congregation and even some fellow elders.. # 2 elder was around 80 years old and looked like he stuck around a little too long.it looked like he was around because he never decided to give up the position.his duty became very light as he aged.. # 3 elder was in his early 30's and newly elected.he made no waves and whatever was asked of him in the congregation he would do.easy to push around like a little puppy dog.. #4 elder (who everyone liked ) was easy to get along with and had a family who everyone loved.
he didn't like elder # 1. they had a power struggle amongst each other which everyone observed while the meetings were in session.. here are 2 small verbal fights that i observed while the congregation meetings were in session:.
while elder # 1 was giving a talk ( heavy rain storms are brewing outside with loud thunder and lightning ) the microphones and lights are knocked out.we lost all power and could barely see.

Sales of Watchtower headquarters could total $1.2 billion, real estate pros predict
by MaybeSo inwe let the qualified buyers participate in a competitive bidding process and see where the market goes with it, devine told the eagle.. doesn't this logic reflect the same expectation of gambling or buying a lottery ticket?
you don't know if you are going to win big or if you're just going to come out even or lose your $1 investment.. how do they know there's not going to be another market or housing crash the next day and get pennies for their properties?.
how can they honestly say: "...see where the market goes with it" and at the same time condone other for playing lottery tickets or gambling or leaving things to chance like not getting higher education.

Ok. So lets assume Watchtower has more money than God. They are still bleeding. Unlike ever before. How long can they pinch the artery? Again your cynicism is showing naughty boy. -

2 billion was a low estimate, so what? But dont forget some of the remaining properties are parking lots. These for sale are the most valuable sought after properties. You do recognize that there are 12 more properties to be sold besides these on the market now? -

All Brooklyn/DUMBO properties will be sold by 2017. It will be at least a couple billion. Thats a big chunk of change. Why the pleading for donations now at every chance? It has to be projections. They are panic buttoning because they know they already have that money spent in the next decade. Guess we will see. They think armageddon is going to bail them out. We know better. -

It is not impossible to know where they stand financially. There was a thread here recently that spelled it out clearly with legitimate documentation. They are on the fast downhill train. -

I have reviewed financial documents as many here must have by now that WT is operating in the red to the tune of a quarter million a year. Yes it will take a decade before they are at rock bottom, but it is happening. Their begging for money is unprecedented. There is a reason why. Wealth is not determined by how much you make, but instead how much you save. Watchtower is not hoarding like they used to. They have admitted, we are spending more than we receive.
