  Steven Lett asks for money again

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw

  the 2016 january tv.jw.org broadcasting has a clear message: jw.org needs more money!.

  the 2 months of donation increase is not enough: the thousands of projects are not a 2 month project.. so: thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you (heh heh heh) and send us more!

  personal conclusion: if i had any doubts that the society is sincere, this openly money grabbing has made my perception complete.

  Another heavy load :Literature Cart Witnessing

  jehovah's witnesses standing on a street corner publicly promoting the propaganda of the governing body!another ridiculous form of "forced loyalty" to jehovah.

  "dirty work" that the wtbts make witnesses go through.preaching work '' lite''.putting more heavy loads on members while the ''faithful and discreet slave'' preach from warm studios without the humiliation.

  what an embarrassment!.

  I have always been fascinated by the cut and thrust of politics, also the way different governments are structured and formed. Now I can indulge myself again. Thanks to TTATT.

  C T Russell's involvement with the Freemasons re-evaluated

  by Finkelstein in

  here is video someone put out that goes deep into c t russell's associated involvement with the freemasons.. there is no question that he drew out a good portion from this organization in creating some of his theological ideas.. being that it was j rutherford that helped to place a pyramid monument at his grave site indicates he could have been associated with the freemasons himself to a certain extent.

  a cross and crown laid upon a cross pattee inscribed with "in hoc signo vinces" resting upon downward pointing swords in saltire is often used to represent the knights templar.

  Yes, for an org that has been so symbol and logo phobic over the years the fact that their own history/ literature past and present is loaded with masonic and occult symbolism seems to have slipped under their anti symbolism radar.

  They are either very blind and stupid or very clever and evil.

  Or maybe just religious nuts and holy spirit has been asleep at the wheel of the chariot... again.

  That's so funny.

  They just wouldn't have known what to do with a response like that to their " loving counsel."

  In honor of brandnew, think we should institute a laugh in an elders face day!

  Is the Pioneer School being eliminated?

  by wannaexit in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i heard from the semi reliable source that the pioneer schools will go the way of the dodo bird next year.. i could see this happening.

  it used to be that you went to the the pioneer school once.

  then they allowed dubs to go every 5 years.

  if you want to read up on the background of this, read this first:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/triple_crimethe convicts of this crime escaped from a high security prison in argentina because the guard, a jw, had no guns.here are the news sites that mention this:http://www.infobae.com/2015/12/28/1779500-fuga-los-hermanos-lanatta-el-guardia-del-porton-la-carcel-no-tenia-armas-porque-es-testigo-jehovahttp://www.perfil.com/politica/uno-de-los-guardiacarcelos-a-cargo-de-la-fuga-de-los-lanatta-no-usaba-armas-por-ser-testigo-de-jehova-20151228-0051.htmlhttp://www.diariolaprovinciasj.com/elpais/2015/12/29/datos-insolitos-fuga-hermanos-lanatta-schillaci-43690.htmlhttp://www.elintransigente.com/argentina/2015/12/28/triple-crimen-insolita-justificacion-guardiacarcel-arma-360553.htmli am copying part of the article and translating to english:triple crimen: la insolita justificacion del guardiacarcel sin armatriple crime: the unbelievable justification of the prison guard without a weapon.

  i have been reading in facebook that there is a new society's order for destroying all documents concerning cases of pedophilia in all congregations.

  is it true that the elders have received such an order?

  ?

  I have read this too and whoever has proof of this letter should send it to the Australian Royal Commission's enquiry into institutional responses to child abuse. I am sure they would be very interested in such a letter.
