I would be very satisfied if WTBT$ lost it's non-profit status with the IRS.
Right after losing their non-prophet status with the r&f dubs in the Feb 17 WT.
what if the jw org became publicly exposed as a repressive and harmful cult working to the detriment of society, the membership dropped away and the gb woke up to reality and quit .
what would happen to the worldwide property and investments of the wtbts and allied companies?
where would the money go then?
recently attended a special assembly day.. guest speaker was thomas chicky, a member of the us branch committee and the head of the us ldc (which has replaced the rbcs).. the last talk of the day is scheduled for an hour.
it was the usual boring mumbo-jumbo.
he appeared to have blasted through his hour-long outline in just about 45 minutes, so he "treated" us to informal comments on recent developments.. he commented on the new wt complex in fishkill ny.. then he dropped the bomb (well, to anyone with ears and at least 2 functioning synapses).. the following is not a word for quote, but presents the gist of his comments:.
If I had to guess where the money has gone, it'd be this:
Some other non-JW entity controls the finances and are cashing in their chips. ( likely the same one that runs other US cults. Mormons, Scientology, etc )
Whether or not the GB and other high ups even have a clue is yet to be seen.
I suspect the FBI and IRS are very hot on this trail.
The GB and helpers will be left holding the bag, except it will be empty.
Huh, they put their trust in riches... Who knew?
hi friends,.
it's been awhile since i've been talkative.
thought i'd give you an account of my latest family dysfunction.. a brief backstory is that i am an only child whose parents were born in jw's.
wasn't russia strongly hinted recently to be the king of the north once again, as it tried to shut down the wtbts there?
and isn't the king of the north said to lead a coalition of nations against babylon the great?
so why is the king of the north allying itself with one half of the king of the south, the anglo-american world power?
i will review this post when it happens so.....prophecy time!
who will guess correct!
my $50 is on theodore jarc born in 1925?
let's face it, we're all connected now.
we take it for granted that we access our bank accounts from our laptops or phones.
it's so convenient.
havent had an encounter with a witness in a while, almost 10 years, though at this point i could run circles around them in the scriptures, this encounter was very strange.
was eating with my son at a coffee shop, guy comes up using it as an opening.
i'm use to this because people find my son beautiful so i was open to him.
my wife and i started to watch this last night and have covered only 2 episodes so far but it is really interesting.. there are so many similarities between scientology and wt.
not in beliefs of course but in their shunning, of their version of apostates etc.. it was amusing for me to see my active jw wife watch and get all indignant.
at one point a statement was made that a religion "shouldn't separate families" and she muttered to herself "absolutely not".. i am kind of hoping that jws will watch and see what is being carried on by a high control cult and eventually recognize it in their own lives.
i started a thread on this guy's comments about building kingdom halls here.. the guy also said this (again, not a word for word quote, but the gist of his comments):.
"the primary hope of salvation is the resurrection.
jehovah does not promise anyone that he will survive armageddon.
Many, after decades of being told Armageddon was soon and the preaching work was so important will fall back on the old favorite:
Where else would we go?

The painful, yet truthful answer is so simple.
You could have had your own life.
Those still in:
You still can have your own life.
