Don't let the guys from Ancient Aliens get a catch of this. They will say is "undeniable proof". Unless off course the WTBTS has copyrighted that phrase.

This invention reminds me of Jehovah's Celestial Chariot on the move
by Muddy Waters inlol.
this little flying & land machine reminded me of "jehovah's chariot" on the move.
except instead of wheels within wheels & millions of eyeballs, this has helicopter rotor things in the wheels.

Online WT article: Religion - How Should It Be Financed?
by truthseeker inin light of the recent letter read to congregations, it would be good to review the article they have on financing religion.
while jehovah's witnesses do not practice tithing, they sure do have a way of getting that proverbial plate round the congregations.. for those not familiar with the recent letter to congregations in the us, here is a snippet... wts bills us jws $8.4 million for traveling overseers.
being announced at service meetings this week at all us congregations:.

And since I was not around when this other thing happened, what was the issue they fought in France? I remember it was mentioned in assemblies as one of the many legal battles Jehovah fought for them and won. I also remember taxes were an issue.
Any ideas?

If I understood correctly from the original story, this means the WT will be investigated as originally intended. This is on itself good, although the results from the investigation may not lead to anything (we sure hope it does), specially with the kind of political push happening in the UK right now. -

Correct me if I am wrong but wouldn't more prosecution make them believe that the attack of Gog of Magog have begun? If so, wouldn't it be easier to show them that their prediction was wrong as the false religions should have been attacked first? -

New donation arrangement in action locally
by respectful_observer inrecently they announced at my hall that a large donation had been made to the local congregation-- nearly $100,000.
they then proposed a resolution that we continue our new(ish) practice of only keeping enough money on hand locally for monthly expenses, and send the entire amount of this large donation to the watchtower society.
aside from the fact that our congregation has already sent well over a half-million dollars to the wt in the last 12 months, i don't understand the motive of the person who made the donation.

Tax shelter.
Although you could also use the annuity arrangement and get a better long term tax plan.

JW.ORG advertising on game/app review program.
by WHATSGOINGON ini don't know if any of you have seen the video posted by mike and kim regarding jw.org advertising on a thailand computer game review television show.
its interesting - check it out.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57nigmnim18.
the show is called game show social - i looked at a few of the videos and jw.org is on a lot of them.. at first i thought that it was a review of a jw.org app but when you look at other videos jw.org is on a lot of them as a sponsor as well as dell lg and others.. wgo..

Sorry if I missed something. Did anyone actually got this from the few english words that came out on the video? I mean, it it not hard to think that the only reason such logo would display there is for sponsorship purposes (WT does not make games, yet) but I think a translation of what they are saying is due here. It would add to the context. -

QUESTIONING THE OBVIOUS or deconstructing Jehovah's Witnesses
by TerryWalstrom inwhat is the most obvious thing you can think of about jehovah's witnesses from the standpoint of worldwide recognition?.
wouldn't it be 2 primary things: the name jehovah and secondly, the public testimony or witnessing?.
let's begin deconstructing those two things.. first, why would christians refer to themselves by any other name than christian?.
-

StarTrekAngel
Well, Jesus did clarify how to identify "Christians". The name sure is generic and hardly makes a case for any single organization to be identified as the true organization. But yet again, I personally don't think that such a thing was in the mind of God or Jesus. The bible clearly states that you would recognize this men (not organization) by their fruit and by their love among one another. Never, I believe, does the bible mentions that they should behave and act as if they were their own sovereign country with legal systems and all. Yet, this is what the WTS is attempting to do and more so this days. Just review the new book (God's Kingdom rules) and you will see that. They lined up closer to the Jews of old Israel than they do to the first century Christians.
Just wish I had more time to write. Not saying my view is better or is the only one right. Just like Terry here, I am trying to put my thoughts together for someone to review.
