What is the WTS financial position?
by Roddy ini know this may seen an obvious question but i'm wondering if their downward financial situation is accelerating in the last five years.. we know of the large real estate sell-offs in brooklyn and their large bethel layoffs -- things they never report on in their publications.
pushing more and more of the traveling overseer expenses to the local circuit and congregations.
how they have taken a lot of shortcuts with regards their printing operations.

What about the Russellites?
by Roddy ini was wondering about the russellites recently.
you remember -- these were the russell puritans who refused to submit to judge rutherford's new direction and/or centralization of authority into the watchtower organization.. in spite of judge rutherford's cursings, they continue down to this day.
they seem to be free of scandals.

What if Judge Rutherford never became president of the WT?
by Roddy ini was talking with a friend and an interesting point came up: what if judge rutherford never became president of the wt?.
much of the heavy-handed, centralized, and authoritarian things we don't like about the wts is the rutherford presidency legacy.
if the wts stayed on the charles russell track, would we still be jws (or "bible students"?
