Just a thought

by Gorbatchov in

tonight watched at prime video the great movie the firm again.

in 1993, first time in the theatre, made direct a connection with the gb.. now i'm thinking: could jw.org be used for worldwide money laundry?.

taken in cash, transfering it with worldwide branches under religion cover?.

I was looking at some of the JW tax filings with the State of California. Obviously false, multiple copies of the exact same return year after year. Just the GB again giving the middle finger to the Tax Man based on 1st amendment freedom of Religion. I wouldn't be surprised if duffle bags of cash donations were privately flown from Florida to nearby Freetown in the Bahamas and other locations, to deposit in the Swiss bank branches located there.

The tax man is not the GB only concern. Having cash offshore is a great way to stay liquid in case of an unfriendly court slapping them with records subpoenas, asset freezes( Lis pendens) or judgments.

?? Well, this showed up on my "Jehovah's Witnesses" Google search today. Profitable future "Charity" business? Getting "Ceasar" to foot the bill? https://www.seniorliving.org/basics/religiousbased/jehovahs-witness/

a few seconds ago this hit the net todayhttp://jwvictims.org/conventions-kingdom-halls-relief-funds-and-other-financial-scams-and-schemes-of-jehovahs-witnesses/.

conventions, kingdom halls, relief funds, and other financial scams and schemes of jehovahs witnesses.

jehovahs witnesses often note that at their meetings (like church services), they dont pass a collection plate.

Concealed carry Dubs

by scruffmcbuff in

i spent a considerable length of time living and working in america (would love to imigrate one day).. almost everyone i worked with and made friends with carried a concealed firearm of somesort.

i found this pretty interesting and as an avid firearm fan even more so.. so to our american members here... .

as a jw did you or did you know any practising dubs who carried or if not had firearms for home defence?

In the 40s and early 50s the Bethel nightwatchman carried a revolver. After a guard shot up a giant roll of paper one night Knorr put an end to it.

In the 60s my Congregation Overseer was a cop. In the late 60s, we had two additional deputies and an FBI agent in the hall, and an undercover. One meeting about 1968 one of the deputies jacket popped open while he was giving a talk exposing a pearl-handled 45. All the kids were impressed.

During the late 70s Watchtower got very anti-gun and three of the elders quit the force in order to remain in "Good Standing"...and almost starved. Two remained cops...don't ask don't tell..and just didn't serve.

The JWs who do carry are rare...and do it secretly.

While publicly Watchtower is anti-gun and anti -cop...surprisingly they have no problem recruiting ex-cops to investigate (stalk) "enemies" (apostates-litigants) Watchtower deems dangerous to its financial interests.

How Apostates saved one town from Armagedon

by Balaamsass2 in

an interesting read today about a town once in the control of a religious cult who kept predicting the end of the world, and had a major child abuse problem.

sounds familiar to me.. http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-colorado-city-brewery-2018-story.html.

Instead of limestone caves, Warwick Winery could have bunker aged wines. Molech Merlot. Pedophile Pinot. Circuit Chablis. ....

Helping my husband wake up, need advice.

by Whynot in

my husband is dfed but he is a prime example of someone who was a puppet for the watchtower.

i was able to wake him a little with the sex abuse scandal.

he was an elder and is very familiar with those rules.

I don't know your hubby, but as a one-time true believer, it was the realization that the organization was not "spirit directed" or "godly".....ever. Simple stuff...like the organization LIES knowingly...the simple question "who is the father of the lie?"(simple act of fraudulent accounts reading at conventions, child abuse, theocratic strategies). Is it ever right to defraud widows and orphans? Yes-No? (borrowing and never returning $$) Is god all powerful...or confused...changing his mind yearly like Watchtower? Jesus said: "by their fruits, you shall know them"- what fruitage does Watchtower display? Reading actual early Watchtower publications on Barbra Anderson's site.. the Nutty stuff Russel and Rutherford printed. Ray Franze's books. Stay away from never-ending theological dates, how many angels can dance on a pinhead, the Bible, and how many reindeer does really Santa have. Baby steps.

Has anyone heard of "Secret Disfellowshipping" by Jehovah's Witnesses? Menlo Park Ca. Congregation. Update.

by Balaamsass in

no doubt everyone has been following the juan viejo postings regarding the watchtower kingdom hall "grab" on jwn for the last couple of years.

called the mrs and me to say "wow- you have to google this" we did...came here to jwn ...became members..and the rest is history.. in the last nine months i have been calling and emailing contacts in the silicon valley for verification on the societies theft and forced sale of the menlo park kingdom hall (near the new facebook heaquarters) because the story seemed...a little far fetched.

every reliable contact i made has confirmed what juan reported.
