20Pandora's Box is now open!
by pandorasbox1914 inhi everyone, i have been lurking for some time now and decided to open the box (hence pandora).
about a year ago i became aware of child abuse within the org, out of curiosity (just like pandora) i opened the box and the evils have been pouring out ever since regarding the org.
anyway, this came to a head last summer with the arc.

This one was almost better than the anti masterbation video for the deaf and Sparlock.
I agree with brandnew....Keep em coming WT! You are letting your stupidity shine like NEVER before!

I just watched the bread illustration. One question...the mud illustration. How come when we get mud on us, do our friends and family throw us in the trash? If Jehovah doesn't throw us in the trash when we sin, how come his "loving organization" does?
That has to be one of the dumbest illustrations I have ever seen.
I think the natives are getting restless in this cult and WT is worried. Are their #'s dwindling?

This is the girl from the February Broadcast?
Holy crap! Have you seen how much WT is making off of the sale of their properties? They can't afford to send this little girl home? They could care less about anyone but themselves. Just give em a track, Watchtower/Awake or a book to read? That's going to fix what this little girl and her family are facing TODAY?

"I was not disfellowshiped. I just quit the Borg. Even so, my large family disowns me."
Like people have said on here before, there is NO easy way to leave this cult disguised as a religion. Shunning, even by the professionals is on of the worst forms of bullying. How can that EVER be loving?

Boy...that's a loaded question.
Some I do detest, some are really great people. Deluded (like we used to be) but still nice, well meaning people, that have not looked behind the curtain yet. Looking behind the curtain changes EVERYTHING!

That is very sad. This poor family is dealing with so much.
Why can't the JW organization help them? The organization only helps itself. The donations only go one way...in their pocket. They are shameless and selfish. They are building a new up state NY retirement resort, they need the funds for that. Remember what our golden boy Lett stated in his JW broadcast, "we have more money going out , than we have coming in." Who did not count the cost?

"I do have one nagging question though: If the GB is ONLY about getting people´s money and wanting to get more into the JW "cult" by evangelizing more and more just for the purpose of getting more donations, then why aren´t they living a luxurious life-style?"
I find this question from pile2222 interesting. Imagine you are a GB member. Let me list some of the perks that WT pays to these golden ones.
1. No mortgage/rent payments.
2. No health insurance premiums. They don't have to worry about the rising cost of healthcare.
3. No car insurance premiums. Cars are also readily available (probably a driver as well).
4. No car payments.
5. No Grocery bills. Food provided.
6. No utility bills
7. Travel expenses paid for by WT.
8. No $ for haircuts (on site barber)
9. No $ for dental cleanings (on site dentist).
10. No $ for Doctor visits. (on site doctor).
Ok. So my question is what do they have to worry about financially? I go through the list and these are the things the average person/family has to worry about. They are not living a luxurious life-style? Boy, what I wouldn't do to NOT worry about the things I have listed above. Is there anything else THEY (the GB) have to come out of pocket for? I failed to also list above the green handshakes and wining and dining they receive when they travel. They also receive gifts, such as jewelry and vacation homes to stay in. There are a lot of wealthy Brothers and Sisters out there that love to brown nose these golden boys. Have you ever seen one when they travel? They have body guards and a line of people waiting to shake their golden hand.
It's an all expense paid life. Would I consider the above a luxurious life-style? Hell yeah!

Great article! More and more of these articles are coming out. Great PR for the Watchtower! Sit back and watch everyone, Watchtower is putting the nail in their own coffin. -

Good news to report: Congregations merged because lack of attendance, publishers & field service
by Khaleesi inso it's official, i am happy to report that we merged with another congregation having the same problem.
why is it good news???
because people are either waking up, fading or just not buying into this organization any longer or walking away.... i think many young ones are just not buying into it as much, i see many in the congregation i go to very depressed and some i know personally going thru major depression especially the young "sisters" in their early 20s.... .
