So there was a time the AWAKE magazine was printed every 15 days but now since Jehovah is blessing them so much the magazine is printed once a year, and here you have the 1st edition for the year , which is nothing more than an informatial of how good of a charity they are to their local community. So we read in the following box:
WHAT WE ARE DOING
FIRSTLY, Jehovah’s Witnesses promote a balanced, healthy lifestyle. Our Bible educational program has helped people to overcome addictions and destructive habits.(=like the habit of saving money for your old age, or maintaining a well paid job, or pursuing higher education, all very unhealthy habits for anyone who wants to do well in life)
SECONDLY, We adhere to strict safety standards in our construction projects. Volunteers who help build our meeting places and other facilities that are used to further our Bible educational work are trained to avoid injury. Our buildings are inspected on a regular basis so that they conform to local safety laws.(=now why would the best second thing about them as a charity is adherence to building regulations? Unless they are a real estate business disguised as a religion, in which case it makes perfect sense)
THIRDLY, we provide humanitarian assistance. During a recent 12-month period, we responded to some 200 life-threatening disasters worldwide and spent nearly 12 million dollars of donated funds to provide relief for victims.(=This is not their money , it is the money raised by local congregations or sorounding nations, they get their members to donate the funds, they get all the praise, perks and tax exemptions from local goverments and their members get a tap with running water outside their kingdom halls so they can wash their hands before entering the kingdom hall, see how that works?)
When Ebola outbreaks began to devastate the population of West Africa (2014) and the Democratic Republic of Congo (2018), we educated people on how to prevent the spread of the deadly disease. We sent representatives to speak to groups on the subject “Obedience Saves Lives.” We provided handwashing stations at the entrance of each of our places of worship and stressed the importance of handwashing and other practical safeguards.In Sierra Leone, a radio announcement commended Jehovah’s Witnesses for helping Witnesses and non-Witnesses in the community to avoid the Ebola virus.
So there you have it the AWAKE! in yester years was written to expose goverments now it is written in a way to cosy up to goverments.
Jehovah’s Witnesses aren’t just your run-of-the-mill religious group—they’re also apparently safety experts, disaster relief heroes, and health educators! Isn’t it heartwarming to see a group that spends millions on humanitarian efforts while, coincidentally, holding a rather impressive portfolio of prime real estate? It’s almost like they’re flipping properties with the same zeal they claim to have for saving souls!
Sure, they promote a “balanced, healthy lifestyle”—but let’s not forget, the real balance they’re achieving is between snatching up properties at bargain prices and making a tidy profit when they flip them later. All under the guise of charity, of course! It’s like Monopoly, but with more Bibles and fewer rules. And their construction projects? Oh, don’t worry, they follow “strict safety standards”—as if flipping real estate doesn’t already come with enough risks. But hey, free labor from volunteers? What a win-win!
But it’s not all brick-and-mortar. When disaster strikes, they’re there with their checkbooks (and someone else’s money, naturally). Twelve million dollars in relief sounds noble, but when you’re raking in hundreds of millions from property sales and donations, it’s barely pocket change. And don’t get me started on their “obedience saves lives” campaigns during Ebola. Nothing says public health expertise like advising obedience as the key to surviving a deadly virus—forget doctors and scientists, folks; just do as you’re told!
And the best part? Their cozy alignment with the latest UN agendas. Whether it’s promoting global health directives or pushing the latest medical guidelines, they’ve got it covered—especially when there’s a chance to play nice with big institutions that align with their long-term goals. Because, after all, what’s a little humanitarian assistance when you can look good doing it and secure some valuable connections along the way?
So here’s to the Watchtower: part real estate mogul, part medical advisor, part charity—fully committed to doing whatever it takes to keep those properties flipping and the narrative spinning!
