  Thanks to Atlantis and his sources, we are able to examine material from the alleged "faithful slave" which is intended only for the eyes of the shepherds wolves in the congregation.

  INFORMATION NEEDED FOR VISIT OF CIRCUIT OVERSEER

  All congregation accounts records covering the period since the last visit, which would include any bankbook being used and the records for any additional accounts being kept by the congregation. (do you have excess money which should have been given to us?)

  All Kingdom Hall Operating Committee accounts records covering the period since the last visit, which would include any bankbook being used. (do you have any more money which should have been given to us?)

  Is the congregation’s financial support of Kingdom Hall and Assembly Hall construction worldwide being reviewed annually, and is the amount resolved reasonable and in accord with local circumstances? (is your congregation paying enough to support all the paedophile lawsuits?) Have you verified that all elders, ministerial servants, and others in the congregation who have a particular skill and who have not submitted an Application to Become a Member of the Worldwide Order (A-8) within the last year or a Local Design/Construction Volunteer Application (DC-50) or an Application for Volunteer Program (A-19) within the last three years have completed the Skills Questionnaire (A-2)? (have you pressured every relevant publisher to work for the org for free?)

  I know. It took many years for a Red Flag to go up in my mind.

  But when you drink the kool-aid you think the GB are doing what god wants and there is no chance of them being wrong.

  The skill part is downright scary....I didn't realize the "volunteer" part was orchestrated in this culty a manner.....

  The $$$$ part...no surprise there. Greedy corporation squeezing every cent out of the locals...

  Having been a jw for over 5 and a half decades before I accepted ttatt, I can recall the time when it really "seemed" like the wt organization/CO's really cared about the congregation of people. Now it's all about the business of the religion and the finances that it takes to keep it going.

  I've been inactive for over 5 years now and not one visit from a CO to see if I'm ready to "get back up on the horse" so to speak.

  just saying!

  THEFALLGUY:

  So, they’re looking for people with skills - to work for free no less? These skills were gotten because some JW got higher education that cost time and money (and they were criticized or ostracized for doing so). Whether or not this education was acquired before somebody became a JW makes no difference.

  They’d never benefit from MY secular know-how and it makes me ill to think that there are those that would do this for them!

  I can distill it down to an even more streamlined state...

  ...it's all about ensuring the Organization's survival.

  They're really gone wild during the last years trying to squeeze off everything they can out of the rank-and-file. I was a PIMO already, but still attended a KH construction site (to please my family, mostly) - and I was really astonished with the level they don't care about ordinary volunteers: extreme disregard for safety, lack of elementary work-tools compensated by unnecessary manual labor, etc. Gosh!

  This thread reminds me of all the JW's that crapped on me over the years when I was depressed and vulnerable. I was very generous and giving with them until I became suicidal. At that point there was no help to be found other than them coming over to my house to belittle me for being an ambitious small business owner that enjoys work life. Felt like they were getting back at me for not fully doing 'Jehovah's' will and rubbing my face in it.
