Stupidest thing a JW ever told you
by Nosferatu inwhat is the stupidest thing a jw ever told you?
we all know that they say a lot of stupid things, but what really topped the cake?.
for me, it was an elder telling me i was progressing really well when my meeting attendance was down and my field service hours were slipping.

Rick Simmons Received Honor of the 2013 Trial Lawyer of the Year Award
by Gayle in"the rick simons case is truly exceptionaland for that, rick received the honor of the 2013 trial lawyer of the year award.
this case, involving the jehovahs witnesses, was originally referred to rick by my good friend and pretty much the first client of cogent legal ever, ed casey.
ed referred the case since rick had done a number of church molestation cases in the past, and there are issues with those cases that make them difficult.

(1)is WTS greedy and heartless or (2) Sincerely trying to do the will of God
by joe134cd inin my reading there seems to be 2 schools of thought and i am just wondering which one is correct.. (1)watchtower is a multi million dollar corporation that is making its money by fleecing its flock e.g k.h refurbs, giving preference to houses with an insurance cheque under the banner of emergency relief and pocketing the money from volunteer labour.
to a lesser extent (although it wouldnt generate nearly as much money as the 2 examples above), getting kick backs from international conventions,charging for car parking when they got it for free, society approved motels that are grovels in the middle of no where.
i do wonder how they can get away with this under the title of of a charitable trust, and i do at the very least think, this is cheeky.. it is cold and hartless and will roll anyone who gets in its way e.g menlo park elders.

Are the society making or losing money?
by joe134cd inin my reading there seems to be two schools of thought.. (1)watchtower is a multi million dollar corporation.
that is making millions of dollars from scamming its members.
the examples i site are k.h refurbs, doing houses where there is an insurance cheque under the banner of emergency relief.

OMG He is so delusional!
by Iamallcool injohnny the mysterious bethelite shows up on the six screens "late night with the twins" program april, 20, 2013. .
johnny claims to be an active bethelite and is serving as a "mole" (an insider divulging adverse information about the watchtower) and uses the six screens tele-network as a conduit to speak up.. .
if you are an active or former jehovah's witness listen in to johnny, you will be shocked... johnny says he was offered jw sisters by a governing body member in an attempt to quiet him..
