JWs and get-rich-quick schemes

Thought you'd like to know about the latest fad rippling through the JW community. It is home-based get-rich-quick business offerings.

A WHOIS search at Network Solutions (http://www.networksolutions.com/whois/index.jsp) shows the owner of the following websites. It turns out this owner is a well known Congregation Coordinator (aka Presiding Overseer).

Of course, nowhere in the greed-stirring online spiel is Jehovah mentioned, or all the advantages of living a contented life free of materialistic lust for more money. I wonder how many of his millions or billions he donates to the poor and hungry? (Yes, he does imply he is either a millionaire or a billionaire.) I wonder if he includes his get-rich advice in public talks for the benefit of "the brothers"?

Following is another link where, near the bottom of the page, the same elder is the point of contact to "GET RICH IN 2008." By the way, take a look at the name of this web site: dubbsmarketing.com. Is that irony, or what?

We should call the Watchtower Society and ask about this elder's "GET RICH IN 2008" plan and whether it is still good for 2009? Watchtower's phone number is: 1-845-306-1100. According to sources at Patterson, this elder was among early candidates for the new elder's school. Guess he's putting his new organizational and promotion training to good use. This is dubbs marketing at a whole new level.

Woah!

I clicked on the "ontrack" url and saw a big logo for "the Secret"! That stunned me... I certainly would have thought that "the Secret" would have been a big no-no... like yoga and meditation!? There can be no "tapping into" the big picture... it'll let the demons in!

Better to follow Gamaliel's counsel.

I don't know if you all had the wonderful experience of being in 'service' and having people looking at the more lavish homes and saying they would live in this house or that after armageddon.

You can be materialistic and not have a cent to your name.

Thanks Barb I will be sure to call the WTS and ask about this, I'm sure they would be interested in "The Secret". I don't even have to check out their websites as Im sure they get everyone hyped up and claim its not a MLM and of course you will spend thousands on their online classes teaching you how to sell their products. Thats how they are making the big money...not from selling their crap but preying on those suckers that will give them the money to teach them how to sell crap!

Thank you for your comment, Sister Jensen.

So now what? Are they going to counsel him about his business? Nope. They leave big contributors alone.

He should shut down his business and just trust in Jehover to provide.
