revelation 6:6 kjv.
6 and i heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, a measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.. this prophecy starts to be true in south europe bethels..... according to our sources, bethel families have been asked to reduce their food allowance and even been informed that monthly contribution might not be paid.. meantime, one of these branches is sending millions of € every year as donation to other wt structures, not to mention the 7 digit number on their bank account.
bethel members are not blind ;).
Maybe they actually want bethelites to get so pissed off that they leave. That way it can be seen as the bethelites decision and the bethel hatchet men don't have to "lay off" anyone.
Wouldn't put anything past the psychopaths that run the branches, nor doubt the dog eat dog mentality that must exist inside these bethels.
i heard this tired line re-ran again at this year's convention.
satan supposedly wanted to be like god and be worshiped - you know, the whole pride thing.
they really made a big deal about how his "thoughts" led to his sin in the garden of eden and how we need to control our thoughts to avoid the same result.
So Satan is described as being proud, wants to be like God, wants to be worshipped......
Sounds just like the GB!

Tony Morris has those dead soulless eyes of a psychopath and his smarm-bucket voice makes my skin crawl.
i was wondering why they ended the "bunker video" as they did ... with an armed militia finding the jws huddled in the corner of the basement ... fade to black.
the jws watching don't know what happened after that.
did they kill them?
What we don't see when the camera stops is that these "police" are actually a strip-a-gram ensemble and they break into dance routine - Kevin arranged it as a joke 😉
Hmmm what would be the song I wonder.... M C Hammer - Can't touch this ....maybe, no no I know En Vogue - Free Your Mind.
the anti gay video that watchtower recently produced has now had over 1,000,000 views.
of those who selected to like or dislike the video, over 92% disliked it.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnk52bu92oe.
I 'd hazard a guess that are plenty of people religious and otherwise who do not like/ agree/accept homosexuality but not one of those people come directly to my door to tell me what they believe.
Only JWs and the odd mormon has ever come directly to my door hoping to explain/ impose their beliefs to/on me in the hope that I would join them in believing what they believe.
I'm all for free speech, and everyones , including JW's right to believe whatever they want to believe.
What I don't agree with is WT pressuring children through manipulative animations to do their dirtywork/preaching for them at school to other children. Sophia's classmates have a rights aswell. The right to go to school and learn without a JW child telling them at recess that their mommies won't get into paradise...... for instance.
it`s so crazy:.

No, no, no, not creepy at all.
Can't wait for the GB action figures!
they get caught by the bad guys at the end anyway, don't get what thier point is to the video?
of course i haven't seen it all they way either.

Village Idiot - Of course, it was Kevin! DAMN YOU TO HELL KEVIIINNN!!!!
i kid you not, giving money is an act of love according to jwtv (juli edition).

The thing is I was always under the impression as a JW that during the GT when the "beast turns on the harlot and eats up her fleshy parts" (sounds like Hanninbal Lecter)that JWs would still be faithfully carrying out their preaching work under the very noses of the authorities and that's what would get our asses arrested, not that we would be hunted down and dragged out of our own homes. So obviously WT thinks that in the near future sitting in your tastefully appointed basement chatting peacefully will be a crime worthy of arrest. Give me a break!
The whole thing raises more questions that it answers.
Why were they arrested? They weren't doing anything, it makes no sense.
How did the police know where to look?
Did they sieze publisher record cards to find out where JWs live?
Where are the GB and what the hell are they doing when all this is supposedly going on?
The point of the videos? Pure unadulterated fear porn brought to you by JWdotborg.
i came across this weird blog that castigates fading jws for their "cowardice" and "hypocrisy" for not making themselves vulnerable to shunning.
apparently in the view of this blogger jws who discover it's not the truth are morally obliged to play by the watchtower rules and face the consequences of shunning.. http://jwresearchblog.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/fading-faking-and-lying-as-unbelieving.html#comment-form.
what is absent from the blog post is any discussion of the statement in the july 2009 awake!, that no one should be made to choose between their beliefs and their family.
The reality is a WT baptism is not binding in any way, shape or form and WT has no real authority over anyone.
