  DoC: I do think they are hiding money out of the US as best they can to avoid it going to attorneys

  Or being included in the assessments that they are providing to the courts to be evaluated for how much victims receive for the org's negligence.

  Does anyone else think that the amount the org submitted to the Montana court was a bit low? And was only for the US branch/headquarters?

  We know that the org has assets tucked away in shell companies. Remember Valley Farms?

  And really, how convenient that the org's "collapse" includes getting rid of those cumbersome property assets. Money is so much easier to deal with - send that cash on a trip around the world and watch the "asset" line on those court documents drop down.

  The org has been hearing the devil's footsteps for some time. They are willing to sacrifice anybody and everybody to protect their asses/assets. They really could care less if the attendance drops and KHs are sold - a good justification for telling the courts - "we have no money to pay the victims" - and so much easier to handle. True believer$ only.

  its been a minute since posting, have been trying to put this cult in my review mirror and just live life.

  but you know this beast rears it's evil head.

  my wife found my crisis of conscience book and out came the horns plus i guess what she is hearing at the meetings isn't helping either.

  Everything you need in one convenient website:

  https://www.jw-supplies.com/Disaster-Preparedness-Emergency-Kits-Supplies-Go-Bags_c44.htm

  Packing go bags is not exclusive to the JWs. This is an initiative that was put in place post 9/11. Grants and funding are available through FEMA. How handy that the org can get money from Satan's government to implement disaster preparedness and what a loving provision from Jehovah that the initiative fits so nicely into their warped doctrines.

  Thanks for the link, Incognito.

  From a reference on that page, another story about an Australian family that succumbed to shared delusions:

  StarryNight: A whole family is really weird... even if they somehow got into a religious frenzy.

  Actually, I think that a family is more prone to this kind of behavior just because of how family dynamics work. A family, after all, is a micro cult - a JW family is a cult within a cult.

  Shared delusions become amplified in isolation (this family spent three days in isolation - watching movies which were likely JW videos - not eating...) and...boom. the "campfire ghost stories" aka "borg bunker stories" became their reality. They acted on their reality - their true belief in what their religion has taught as the "truth".

  I am with Cofty on this - I find it fascinating.

  And I also suspect that this event makes lots of people a little uncomfortable and left asking themselves if they may have acted similarly at one time during their true belief stage.

  What would it take to tip over into irrational behaviour based on irrational beliefs?

  tiki: Holy sh!t....they have some serious mental issues.......

  True believers

  I don't think they have serious mental issues*. They are just JWs on Org broadcasting steroids.

  They watched the bunker video too many times.

  They succumbed to their delusions. Delusions that are held by over 8 million people worldwide. Delusions that have been planted in their brains by the WT/org.

  *I need to qualify this...they do have serious mental issues. They are under the influence of a cult. Religious induced delusion leading to psychosis.

  IloveTTATT, if they had drank marijuana tea, they would have spent the weekend eating snacks and sleeping.

  And not quite legal yet. October 17 is Canada's Green Day

  I agree Hoser. Too many bunker re-runs

  Tea had nothing to do with this

  Irrational fear of Armageddon had everything to do with it

  hi new folks, lurkers and trolls.

  i thought i would post this simple but interesting video which shows how scientists bring multiple lines of evidence together to prove evolution is true; for example:.

  comparative anatomy.

  Interesting fact - females have all the genes to make a penis.

  Interesting fact: all fetuses start out female. Which sort of blows the "Adam was first" fable out of the water.

  You're in the Army Now: Jehovah's Witnesses No Longer Exempt From Finnish Draft

  by Tahoe in

  https://sputniknews.com/europe/201809211068220658-finland-jehovah-witnesses-army/.

  the finnish government has ruled that the current law allowing jehovah's witnesses to avoid military service, in place for several decades, is discriminatory and contradicts the constitution.. .

  in the future, finnish jehovah's witnesses* will be obliged to either serve in the nation's military or perform civil service on the same terms as everyone else, the government ruled, submitting a corresponding proposal to parliament, national broadcaster yle reported.. according to the 1987 law, jehovah's witnesses were not only freed from the military draft, they were freed of any obligation to perform community service as a pacifist alternative, a common option among other young people in finland.

  "...Ideally, we should keep the system that exists today. It has worked well and does not violate anyone's rights..."

  Yeah, it was working well for you.

  This is typical. The response reveals their ignorant attitude to those who aren't part of their special elite group of JWs.

  They don't give a rat's ass about anyone's rights except their own.

  The law as it existed in Finland discriminated against everybody else's rights because the JWs were getting concessions that were denied to others.

  JWs have a myopic view of the world - it is them and then all the others who belong to the bird food class.

  Narcissistic - no consideration for anyone but themselves
