"...charitable work for the relief of poverty" ?
Pardon me while I choke.
"...training...men and women as ministers... teachers and lecturers" ???
Really WT? Women teachers and lecturers?
So decepive and misleading!
screen capture from the watchtower society of australia's article's of association:.
i wonder how item (e) is defined and whether they actually provide any money for charitable poverty relief?
if so, i would love to see the evidence.

and remember your boosters as adults!.
currently there is a measles outbreak in the u.s. the outbreak is clustered into communities where parents choose not to get their children vaccinated.
vaccination works primarily on herd immunity.
What's with the bumping of all the "been there, done that, got the t-shirt, cardigan and coffeemug" threads lately.
we are pleased to make available the outlines for your meeting with the regular pioneers, special pioneers, and field missionaries that will be held in conjunction with one of the circuit assembliesduring the 2018 service year.
please note that you will now be allowed the flexibility todetermine with which circuit assembly the meeting will be held.
your primary consideration shouldbe what is in the best interests of the majority of the pioneers, not what is most convenient for you.there are many factors to be considered, such as weather, travel distance, accommodations, and soforth.
"Give wholehearted support to the channel Jesus uses"
Would that "support" be views and donations to JWdotborg broadcasting channel?
Wow, how convenient for WT that JC is really up to speed with the modern interweb thingy.
Maybe thats how he plans to make his big comeback and the "all eyes will see him" prohecy will work.
according to news sources in luanda, angola (read it here, although it's in portuguese language), a regional convention of the jw's taking place this weekend at the outskirts of capital luanda was targeted yesterday, friday, by what may be described as a 'terrorist attack'.. more than 400 attendees (mostly female) passed out in rapid succession in the vicinity of a toilet at the convention place.
reportedly, toxic gas devices were planted there by 3 young members of unita, the main political party that opposed mpla, the dominant regime party in angola since its independence in 1975.
43 people were rushed to the hospital and a few remain there, under medical surveillance.
The fact that JWs don't vote possibly also means there is no incentive for less than scrupulous third world public officals and authorites to go out of their way to protect them.
looking at all the narcissistic bull shit the watchtower corporation has been spewing out for the world to see about suffering of its members to as nothing worth being very concerned about and as jehovah magnificent be vindicated is much more important.
have they really gone off their rocker enough for a very sizable portion of membership to see their insanity and jump ship?.
i think definitely they are losing all respect from their internet savy members as their madness becomes obvious.
I hope so, and I believe more and more people are waking up everyday to WT's narcissistic, egomaniacal ways.
But to be realistic businesses like WT would have some kind of contingency plan up their sleeve as we speak. Scientology is smaller in numbers and yet thrives. Sadly, I think WT could debulk its membership and physical bricks and mortar presence and still have enough money to survive.
as ridiculous as the bunker video was, a few things popped into my consciousness as i was riding the train today.
firstly, why did they go to all the expense and effort to not only create a bunker, but to furnish it like a living room complete with coffee table, armchair, shelves etc?
i mean, a bunker should be a bunker... boxes of tinned food, tools, medical supplies, emergency gear etc.
As has already been said, it's been dubbed a "bunker" but in reality looks more like a furnished basement.
Dissecting it scene by scene is not a bad idea as when scrutinized it is full of contradictions things that just don't make sense or add up.
Of course with cults like WT no context is provided so the viewer is left to their own fevered imaginings to consider how the situation outside the basement developed and what the final outcome is for the basement dwellers.
How long have they been there?
Why are they being raided ?
What happens to them? Prison? Execution? Bible burnings?
WT leaves these videos vague and ambiguous for a reason - to generate fear.
ok, i'm not one for conspiracy theories but lately i've uncovered some interesting facts that i think warrant some attention.. first of all, russell was a freemason.
all the early watchtower and books he authored have freemason symbology and art throughout them.
not a big deal i thought, until i read more about freemasons and the so-called "illuminati", a group of 13 families that supposedly control the world.. supposedly these 13 families, such as the duponts, mcdonalds, kennedys, .
The mason thing is a distraction from the known issues surrounding this toxic cult.
"no honey, daddy doesn't like this book.
do you have a nice book we can read?.
as far as i know my wife and i agree this book would be off-limits.
It's a horrible book published by a horrible org that should come with an R rating - what else is there to say.

Oh and BTW, a group doesn't have to be part of a secret society for their policies to harm people and destroy families.
sadly it's in german, but i've been reliably informed of the crucial relevance of the moon, butterflies, owls, geckos, & mirrors in spiritistic practices - all featured in the "slave's" offering!
perhaps someone with a knowledge of german can provide a more detailed analysis.. according to this guy's forensic examination of the video, it uses spiritistic practices and symbolism repeatedly.
far too much to be a coincidence?
I just think it's hugely hypocritical of WT to produce a mild "horror"movie with any kind of scary imagery or symbols when they've been telling people for years not to watch read or listen to anything remotely connected to horror or magic in any way.
The Lot video is designed to scare the crap out of people for wanting more than their lame, boring JW lifestyle of giving all to Jehovah or rather giving all to WT.
