Rank these religious charlatans.

RULES & REGULATIONS

The WTBTS has billions in property,factories,warehouses,assembly halls,kingdom halls and branches. I know that the Governing Body get free medical care,live rent free in rather small apartments,travel around the world,stay in nice hotels and have no financial problems in their life. How they live really doesn't bother me!

These following religious charlatans really bother me! They have bank accounts,large homes,travel by private jet and get paid a yearly salary. Rank these five. Starting from the worst. Here is my selection.

I agree with your ranking.

However, the way the GB boys live does bother me. Even though the charlatans you mentioned love money and live the high life, I don't think they have taken as much from people as JWdom has.

Think about it. If I had been a follower of one of the charlatans, I might have given $100/month, but as a JW I gave what amounted to many thousands of dollars per month. Some of my stupidest former school buddies make $13000 or more per month. I could easily have made or been making that. I made virtually nothing all my years of regular pioneering. I was broke. I gave my whole life, including my future since I have no retirement prospects. I have a low-paying job that is in a field that will soon be non-existent because of technology change, and I have no savings, no pension, no 401K, no investments.

As a regular pioneer, I livied in primitive conditions, being extremely poor, never having a break, etc. What those charlatans would have taken from me would have been, at most, a little money per month. JWdom took my money, my time, my future. I slaved and suffered for JWdom.

There should be a Yelp for religions . The slogan could be Real Cults, Real Victims, Real Reviews.

Magnum,

Sorry about the situation the JW sons of bi***** left you in. But if i may offer some consolation from my own experience in life. Just when you think this is it- you've gotta live your life in near poverty, some avenue opens to rescue you.I hope something comes up soon to get you out of this hopeless fiscal situation that you are in.

As for the rankings of these bandits- I agree with the OP.

Europe set the ball rolling with Catholicism and Protestantism but America has taken it to another level altogether. They've fine tuned this cash-cow to an extent that even the educated and intelligent are suckered in. IMO it's not these thieving lot that need censure but the Bible itself and all jewish teachings past and present. A thorough clinical ripping apart of all jewish and biblical teachings with evidence to reveal the contradictions, lies and deceit contained in them will bring more people to their senses in helping them realize the myth and the madness attached to these stories. By extension it will lead to he demise of Islam too, which is an extension of the insanity begun in and by the OT.

Of course, many have done that already and are continuing the good work but I speak of a major shake-up which will get the whole world's attention and radicalize thinking against all world religions. It is certainly a big job but I continue to hope, someday soon, some genius will put paid to religions!!

Compared to the WTS... amateurs, the lot of them. :)
