Who are the members of the Board of Directors of the WTBTS, are they baptized JWs, and what is their backgrounds? Does she forsee at time when the Board's directives conflict with the wishes of the GB and could the GB be "fired" and sent packing since they have no real legal authority?

One step closer to a possible JW blood transfusion solution
by sir82 insee the article here:.
http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2014/04/18/the_wellcome_trust_is_funding_research_to_make_human_blood_from_stem_cells.html.
blood could become much less scarce if a british research group succeeds in bringing a version made from stem cells to human trials, and eventually to market.

@Island Man-the Oracle of Bethel has stated previously that artificial insemination is not acceptable because of
a verse in Leviticus about "not giv(ing) your...semen to the wife of your fellow man...
And since the "artifical" blood was derived from stem cells (living), they will say that the "life" was transferred to
the blood and therefore off limits. The ORACLE HAS SPOKEN!

Who needs auditions, just get Brother Nelson and Brother Benson to headline the festivities.

Remember this picture?
by Zoos ini went to a small non-denominational church yesterday - first time in a church since i left the borg 4 years ago - and this is how i observed several of the members singing.. .
boy... do those people love to sing.. .
i try not to judge the sincerity of others but i was a little put off by the experience because it looked fake, showy display-ish.

Watchtower Inc. 100 Henry Street Links to MANY other Suspect Companies
by objectivetruth inthere have been a few posts in the past about watchtower inc. at 100 henry street, but i do not see the answer i'm hoping for.. can anyone confirm or provide details linking watchtower inc. to the wbts?
they are across the street, and one can easily assume that they are connected, but i don't see any definite links.. the closest i have come is this link: http://www.insideview.com/directory/watchtower-inc which lists watchtower.org as the website.
this could have been posted like this in error however.. according to 2014 sec filings watchtower inc. has a ceo named sholom drizin ( a man worth possibly 2 billion.).

How else would Sister Centenarian's bequeathed 80 year old one carat diamond wedding ring/gold jewelry be hawked for cash than through the NYC precious metals/diamond resale cartel.

@Blondie: re, assigned times! Strikes a chord with me. I saw where the late-risers would send out their "scouts", typically younger, zealous single brothers/sisters to save seats by running through the venue and spreading out blankets over entire rows of seats, meanwhile their buddies back at the hotel slept off the 2500 calorie pasta meal consumed the night before.

@Indian Larry: you're right, why would they waste their time on petty "illegal" activities when they have the corner on the tax-free publishing house and real estate enterprise.

Satan's tic tacs or GB kool aid?
by sparrowdown inanyone that has been a jw would be familiar with any or all the following scenarios.. 1. you get offered a full time position or promotion after submitting a pioneer application.. 2. a really great bible student you have gets offered a job which means they have to move or have no time for study anymore.. 3. a promising return visit begins a new relationship and the new bf/gf is'nt favourable to jws so the great rv backs off.. 4. a married sister falls pregnant right after her and her husband are invited to bethel or circuit work or gilead.. 5.a couple needs to start caring for an aging parent right after they decide to move to where the need is greater.. etc, etc, etc.
most if not all jw's would tell you satan is to blame,.... or is he?.
satanic pattern of sabotage or blind superstition?.
