  I Think I have Found a Way to Litigate

  by Simon Templar in

  2. beliefs

  i have been thinking about how the wtb&t society bullies all of its members into submission with the threats they use (by practice), i.e.

  “if you do this we will df you and you will be shunned”.

  “if you da yourself, we will make an announcement and your friends, relatives and family will abandon you”, etc.

  And his sons-in-law too. Jared seems very clever when buying some JW properties. He should buy them all.

  Pyramid Schemes

  by schnell in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  several years ago, i was introduced to a "wonderful" company called fortune hi tech marketing by a brother and his wife.

  they had been introduced by a former sheriff who claims he had researched the company and found no leins or judgments, and that former sheriff had been brought in by a pastor.

  you can read what happened with fhtm on wikipedia if you so desire.. this whole new idea of multilevel marketing had my brain reeling, though, and soon enough, i actually signed up with none other than prepaid legal.

  1000 Years is Like 1 Day?

  by Sorry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  anyone else hear about this.

  as all j-dubs know, whenever someone complains about how long the "new system" is taking too arrive, they use the excuse that jehovah works on his own time.

  quite a few times during the public talks, i've heard speakers say the phrase "1000 years to us is only one day to jehovah" (my parents never stop talking about this).

  One day at an assembly feels like it takes 1,000 years before it ends.

  Fudging The Numbers JW Style

  by pale.emperor in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i know most of us have probably figured this out already, but remember the good old days where you could only count full hours in the ministry?.

  then one of the gb get some "new light" from their ass and proclaim that they lovingly will allow people to report 30mins, then even 15mins of time.

  this was, supposedly, so that the old and infirm could have a joy in the ministry and report what little they could do.

  It isn't the number of hours that prompted this change. It was to increase the number of members.
