inspired by this weeks clam article which again "reminds" the brothers pdf their obligation/privilege to donate "voluntarily" i have complied a list of articles or videos in the last 5 years where donations are indeed solicited or encouraged.
the society may argue that these are not actual solicitations because no plate was passed around.
but a donation box is just a more discrete and subtle version of the plate.
The very first WT said that "we will never beg nor solicit for funds....if the Almighty stops bringing in the funds, we will know his blessing is not on the work" (paraphrased)
Funny how they have consistently begged and solicited for funds though...AND the "Almighty" has still NOT brought in enough funds! Hmmm....
saw this on reddit so this is a bit of a copy/paste jobie but i thought there would be people here excited about this as i am.

Well, aren't the crazies out tonight?.....
my pimi (physically in, mentally in) friend believes she was marked without them telling her.
i believe her, and she has been making work for the elders.
she is a pain in their arse, and they are a pain in hers, which is great.
I quoted that scripture at Matt 18:15 to the coordinater when accused of "being on apostate sites" by a former employee. I said she should have come to me first to discuss it.
The elder snapped back at me "IT DOESNT APPLY FOR CASES OF APOSTASY!"
right.... ok then...

Yes!
I was told they did it about me. To the point where it was painfully obvious who they were speaking about.
I am still contemplating making good on my threats of legal action for "maligning and slandering my name and reputation"

i know we have spoken of this before, but in light of the appaling november 2017 jwdotorg broadcast, these scriptures just need to be highlighted!.
please re-read them, and tell me if they don't apply to the society !?!.
jp1692, I guess ttdtt simply means to google the quotes used in JW articles to find the originals
That's what I did with the now famous Ramah Singh quote!
I found his correct quote, and saw that the awake article used it out of context.
That was one of the straws that broke the camels back!

The GB have done an insidious job at white-washing the topic for JWs
