Comment made by an uber dub aunt
by joe134cd inok i've read similar threads to this before, but i just thought i would share a comment made by an aunt.
my aunts bible student died, and due to the families wishes the funeral service was given in another church.
my aunt with a disgusted look on her face when recalling the events to me said "and you know what, they must of only spent about 5 minutes talking about the person, and the rest of it was about the church".

How long will it be
by joe134cd injust wanting estimations on "how long do you think it will be before the society allows internet witnessing as another avenue of preaching".
i feel it will only be a matter of time.
they have to do something to counteract all the negative stuff.

Emergency relief fund for the Philippines. How will it work.
by joe134cd ini was just thinking it will be interesting to see how the wts emergency relief fund will operate in the philippines.
ok it worked well with the storm in florida, with cashing in on the insurance cheques.
sorry to generalize, but americans have the disposable income, and the insurance polices for things like this - a thing the wtbts finds very attractive.

How will WTBTS turn growth around
by joe134cd ini know sometimes i can come across as an opologist.
i just can't seem to help myself, and i do apologize.
i had a thought on how could the wtbts turn their fortunes around to reducing the out flow, and getting a more positive growth of publishers, particularly in western lands.

Dirty money involved for Czech bethel.
by joe134cd ini was just reading comments on jwservey, about a scandal involving the bethel in the czech republic.
i have been visiting apostate sites now for about 18 months, and i have never heard about this.
apparently there was dirty money been used in the financing of the bethel, and there was some other shadey goings on.

Internet VS WTS
by joe134cd inok here is another spin on the wt verses the internet argument, and this time i'm going to be pro-wt.
i have read articles and seen graphs that show in countries that have high internet penetration, growth rates diminish.
this is used to support the idea that the information age is killing the wt.

Estimations for WT pay outs
by joe134cd injust wondering if anybody wants to take a stab in the dark or an estimated guess at how much the wt is paying out on sex abuse cases.
this includes legal bills as well.
if you could also state your reasons at how you came to your conclusion.

How successful we're quickly builds in your area
by joe134cd ini remember hearing about quickly builds how this was a sign of jehovah's spirit that the kh could be built in 3 days.
but what i am wondering is just how successful we're these builds.
i can think of a couple of halls that were built by the quickly built methods that i would suspect they would of lost money on.
