  Prince - LA Times story on WHO GETS the money?

  by Balaamsass2 in

  2. current

  just an interesting read in the la times paper this morning.

  the cnn story last week about his having a foundation set up and run by ...gasp.. a "worldly" man to do all his charitable works was far more interesting to me as an insight into his viewpoints and awakening regarding watchtower.. http://www.latimes.com/nation/nationnow/la-na-prince-estate-20160427-story.html.

  This is a version of the CNN story. Look at WHO and HOW he donated money while he was alive to get better insight. http://www.cnn.com/2016/04/22/opinions/prince-eight-things-to-know-jones/index.html

  I found the racal demographic interesting. About 13% of the US is black. Within JWs that number is double.

  The hispanic number is large, and I would expect that is were the US growth is. In the San Francisco Bay Area most of the new congregations were Spanish. A large number of english speaking hispanics attend Spanish cong., personal friends explained to me it was much more fun and family like. Based on spanish Congregation parties and gatherings I attended in times past, I would have to agree.

  Steven Lett asks for money again

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the 2016 january tv.jw.org broadcasting has a clear message: jw.org needs more money!.

  the 2 months of donation increase is not enough: the thousands of projects are not a 2 month project.. so: thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you (heh heh heh) and send us more!

  personal conclusion: if i had any doubts that the society is sincere, this openly money grabbing has made my perception complete.

  I would rent some pick-up trucks and vans for Sunday mornings to park outside Kingdom Halls and Assembly Halls and have a large 4'x8' A frame sign in the bed 4" lettering with blown up famous Watch tower and Awake magazines. Themost famous Magazine Covers : dead Children (no blood), Generations, and "1975 ". Perhaps an old Rutherford "Religion is a snare and a Racket sign" ?. Perhaps some big GB 2.0 head shots with Pope Hats? A big inflatable Golden Calf with a blue JW.ORG between the horns? A big paper mache' Molech in the truck bed?

  Actually i just got a cell phone call from an awakening JW AT THIS MORNINGS MEETING (40+ yrs in) who is looking at apostate WEB sites DURING the meeting!!!!! lol. He told me the recent GB talks are more damaging to his "faith" than any appostate site. Tight pants Tony, constant begging for money, and the Societies "defense" during the Royal commision inquiry is really shaking him up.

  The immediate response to this letter in Northern California was to appoint a man who had been involved in SIX Child molesting/kidde porn cases in the late 80s, early 90s in Central California.

  Evidently changing congregations and counties and some "green handshakes" helped move the process along. He was shown off by having a part on the platform at the Sacramento Convention Center to the horror of some of his now adult victims.
