  May be this is a bit of a wild conspiracy theory. I wouldn't mind betting that they are going to pull a similar stint as they done in Guadalajara Mexico.

  i wonder if they deliberately brought that property knowing that there would be probless with it. Then they can turn around and tell the rank and file that due to council opposition the idea has been Terminated. In the mean time they have pocketed just over $8 mill, plus got the proceeds from 2 other properties. Just say that they lost $3 mill in having to fight the council, and if they were forced to sell the property at a loss. They have still made $5 mill in money they wouldn't of other wise had. Makes sense to me and all the while the R&F is none the wiser.

  Oh to hell with it. Everyone email them a copy of the 1997 KM and the caleb video and give them so many emails that they can't get through them all.

  Seriously though if this becomes the norm what is to stop some apostate from setting up a bogus Web site, so he can draw off disciples from unsuspecting Web surfers who may genuinely want to go to the meeting.

  Just for a joke some one should email them a copy of 1997 KM, and tell them that the Caleb video is a copy right infringement. It would be interesting to see if they replied at all and if they did what they would have to say. Personally I think this is up there with Wt full blessing. "The times they are a changing"

  This is a quote of a quote taken from Anthoney Mathenia:

  " For orga­ni­za­tions like the Watch­tower, absolute con­trol of their mes­sage is para­mount. It will not even allow its own adher­ents to spread their “good news” online. The Novem­ber 1997 Our King­dom Min­istry (an inter­nal bul­letin) man­dates: “There is no need for any indi­vid­ual to pre­pare Inter­net pages about Jehovah’s Wit­nesses, our activ­i­ties, or our beliefs. Our offi­cial site (www.watchtower.org) presents accu­rate infor­ma­tion for any who want it.”

  In light of the above comment now see the link below

  So my question now is? Is this the start of a change of policy regarding individuals preparing internet pages. This is the first time I have ever seen anything like this.

  The Governing Body Need To Get Their Head Out From In Between Their Derrière And Start Reading What Apostate Sites Are Actually Saying

  by frankiespeakin in

  it does no good for the governing body to burry their heads up their ass in denial as to what people who have left are saying about them and their insane selfserving teachings.

  i know denial is a real bitch to deal with and i'm sure this bunch of over the hill gang will have a hard time doing google searches and they are probably not sure where to look but they oughta get some one to show them how to find all this information, this willful ignorance is really hurting them, and reality can come crashing in more horrible ways the longer the denial exist and is hiding valuable information you really need before you proceed to make better decisions for your company and the direction you want it to go..

  Contrary to Wt belief I absolutely believe the first place the R&F need to be is on the internet having a good read. I feel Wt is just trying to delay the inevitable.

  It would be foolish to assume the CEO of Wt art fully aware of what people are saying. The question is what can they do about it.
