Why Do Jehovah's Witnesses Think Obeying Caesar's Tax and Building Codes Are Optional?

  Jehovah's Witness construction worker's, are the first to sign up for "unemployment benefits", "welfare and food stamps", things Caesar's provides for his people, once economic slack hits. Some times they try to sign up for benefits that don't exist, because they "worked under the table" the during the "great building boom!".

  I know Jehovah's Witnesses who cheated on their taxes, or avoided paying them at all. The same men disfellowshiped brothers and sisters for sins of equivalent value, if that's what you would call them?

  Jehovah's Witnesses are great at buidling "rentals" in their garage, their homes (illegal additions), being dishonest by lying how big their homes are,(to avoid paying school taxes, you claim your home is 300 sq ft smaller) I know Witnesses who don't add the rents they get for the "Shanty Town" garage rentals, onto their income tax, and the Holy Spirit does not remove them from being a Elder, why?

  Why do Jehovah's Witnesses have the greatest sense of entitlement with "hand outs", but don't want to work to make Caesar's Kingdom a better place to live in? Is this just a problem in California where Witnesses have no problem building rentals the "State Code Enforcement" has never ok'ed?

  We are not allowed to build "fire places" in certain areas, but Witness Contractors would put them in once the Code Lady cleared the final inspection.

  Jehovah's Witnesses with "Low Income Homes", build attachments with two or three cheap rentals, it's as illegal as Hell, yet they remain in good standing or Jehovah would have thrown them out of his clean organization? Too many cheaters my friends! Low Income Housing is for people to live in, not to lie to get the home and rent it out for triple your house payment!

  Are these the kind of men and women you think Jesus Christ spoke of, when he said "You will know them by their fruits? Matthew 7, 12

  It's based on their enterpretation of who the superior authorities are. It used be jesus, at one time. As well they the laws and such as only temporary and relative in position to the 'kingdom' of which they are citizens. They view themselves as tempororay residents, here. Also, there's a vs in the ot about using the unrighteous, or something like that. Add it all up, and you get jws doing stuff like that, while remaining in good standing. Something would only be done if it became public knowledge that the 'law' found out and took some action. And then, it would only be for the sake of giving an impression.

  Satanus, they still have not worked out the "Super-Authorities" with our Romanian friends. My OP is to demonstrate the hipocrisy, not to attack what they do with their homes and property. Our COBE has a sin sniffing snout the size of a French Truffle hunting pig, and he is the most dishonest man I know, but is the greatest fault finder second to Satan.

  JWs need to understand many of their "holy ones" are not following Jesus Christ, the Apostle John, Paul, Peter and Jude's letters. Some of the "rentals" are fire hazzards, others have fumes coming in from the main car garage (carbon monoxide), some are infested with roaches and mice the land-lords don't pay to have removed. No insulation or heaters during the winter or "air" during the Summer.

  What a holy organization they have?

  In Australia i knew of jw who claimed a 'low interest loan' from a govt agency to build a new home. They claimed they had a low income. Yes they did by choice so they could pioneer!

  This meant a loan by deception and someone else on a very low income missed out on a loan.!

  One of the two great JW Ponzi schemes, the first scheme was aimed at TOs and wealthy elders (minimum initial investment too large for joe)

  The first scheme lifted millions of dollars of Traveling Overseers retirement funds. The brothers were so happy this brother could generate 15-20% annually with no risk, "jehovah blessed brother hedge fund manger, with insights into the Market." The looks on the TOs face was priceless as each received a letter from the police stating their inflated statements were zero!

  San Diego had the next beauty.
