  What Inheritance
  Do You Owe Your Children?

  http://http://www.watchtower.org/library/w/2004/9/1/article_01.htm

  The Society just can't give parents a rest.

  I find this article to be presumptuous and to far reaching, they have no business telling parents what they can and cannot work for to leave their children someday.

  The article uses an story that overly exaggerates how much a parent wants to accumulate wealth in order to assure their 3 children will have a comfortable future.

  8 If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. The Watchtower will extort money from the elderly,, t hey did it to both sets of my grandparents! ----------------------------- Bill Bowen: ""...Then there is the matter of estates of the elderly . A few months ago I was informed of an elderly sister being told by the legal department that if she deeded her home to Watchtower before her death that they would make sure she got it back in the new order. The sister was coerced into getting a restraining order against her non-witness family to prevent them from talking to her about her possible grandchildren s inheritance. Three months after her death a new 'worldly' family was living in the home with a big Christmas tree. I wonder if our sister knew the legal department was going to allow that? {I bet she would have turned over in her grave} -------------------------------------- Danny Haszard's story:

  Chalk Hill landmark sold for condos Los Angeles Daily News, CA - 5 hours ago ... It's the first time the 8.3-acre parcel, on what is known as Chalk Hill, has changed hands since the Jehovah's Witnesses bought it from (Bob) Hope in 1974. ... Chalk Hill landmark sold for condos By Gregory J. Wilcox Staff Writer WOODLAND HILLS -- A decades-old San Fernando Valley landmark once owned by the late Bob Hope has been sold to a residential development partnership for $25 million, officials said Wednesday. It's the first time the 8.3-acre parcel, on what is known as Chalk Hill, has changed hands since the Jehovah's Witnesses bought it from Hope in 1974. Look at this,the Watchtower bought this one year before the end of the world 1975,at a time that i remember they were ordering the rank and file dubs to liquidate their assets and go all out for the Kingdom of God.

  This is also a time period that Brooklyn H.Q. was really crying poor mouth ( JW children were sending in their piggy banks {Jehovah's pennies} i was giving them my paper route and egg money from my 20 hens). I alone have been extorted tens of thousands of dollars of my life savings by the greedy bastards as an adult.

  I'll be damned if the Watchtower didn't have the gall to quote 1 Timothy 5:8 and twist it.Blasphemy!

  The point is that they are hypocritical when demanding from people to be spiritual because they the leaders do not give the good example, all they seem to care about is making money they are not charitable and they constantly ask for money from the members. People are not totally stupid despite what the WTS hopes.

  The Society expects you to donate to them your estate.....

  HOWEVER! .............................................................

  .................You are discouraged from pursuing a college education or career, that would enable you to better support yourself and your family and eventually lead to your having an estate. BUT! as a good dub you should dedicating your time to field service.....personal & family bible study time...... reading the daily text......preparing for meetings....... then attending all meetings...... assemblies and conventions So how is one, to find the time to work and make the money for "donations" that the society wants?
