2012 WT financial statements in Britain
by EndofMysteries inhttp://theworldnewsmedia.org/file/view/2012-wtbtsb-financial-report.pdf.
it seems it is possible to get some financial statements from some countries.. it's interesting seeing how they must report in what way they are a charity.
many spin doctoring and word games to make it appear they are doing charitable things.. also interesting was how the trustees were consenting to reducing the reserves and sending them to another country, probably wt usa it looks like.

The BS Two Witness Rule - John 8
by berrygerry inmany posts have been made regarding the total bs 2 witness rule in order to protect molesters.. did not jesus dispense with this bs rule in john 8:17,18?.
i.e., the father witnesses all, therefore, only one human witness is required?.

Are Jehovah's Witnesses Psycopaths?
by stuckinarut2 ini have been thinking that jws display an organizationally officially promoted form of thinking that makes them psycopaths!.
what i mean is, any person who enjoyed reading and leaning about past gruesome deaths, or who justified such things as being normal or acceptable would be deemed to be dangerous to society...a psychopath.
(by this i am refferring to the content of the bible of course).

Sociopaths cannot be cured.
jws are brainwashed into being nonviolently cruel under specific circumstances because god will kill them if they don't. Their bad behavior started and keeps happening because of something external to them.
jws can be cured.
They seem to be closer to sociopaths.
My feeling is that they are not originally psychopaths, but after years of indoctrination, they become close to that.
Psychopaths and sociopaths seem to be used interchangably, but I would say, that by definition, a psychosis is developed by long-term JW's.
The sociopathy is part of the religion, i.e., the world is controlled by Satan and is conceptually evil; hence all the non-JW's are evil and infectious; to be avoided at all costs.
(Rebel8 - love your posts - but I cannot agree that JW's can be cured. [That was also the fantasy of The Governor and Hershel in Walking Dead])

Window-washer is the cover of Feb 2015 WT, "How to enjoy your work!" Hahaha!!
by EndofMysteries in.
after all the jokes and satire on this website about jw's only being able to amount to window washers and house cleaners, the cover page of "how to enjoy your work" showing a window washer and cleaner in the back ground.
i almost wonder if some awakened, still-in, from this site is part of the writing department or illustrations and put that in there as an inside joke for us?.

What would make it even funnier is it's probably one of the GB's suites. Where else would they take that photo? So not only is this spiritual food for the R@F but also for those in Bethel to have a big smile on their face while moving in nice furniture, washing windows, doing gardening for the GB.
The Judge would be proud!
With his entourage of "full-time servants" at Beth Sarim.
I have a "cough, cough" health condition, and need to winter in Cali.
