  WT Society SEC Records : Hedge Funds, Cayman Islands, Financial Losses - Links

  by flipper in

  2. scandals

  so my wife and i were curious so i researched some financial links and found records indicating that the wt society has been operating at a loss since the year 2012. as you read the links it shows a loss of 10 million $$$ in 2012, about 16 million $$$ in 2013, and a whopping loss of 56 million $$$ in 2014 - where the expenditures exceeded the revenues for each of those years in the amount i've mentioned.

  also there is a link on this same website with the sec records indicating that the wt society and it's representatives funneled 40 million $$$$ into hedge funds in the cayman islands as early as 2007. if you look online on other sites you can see evidence that indicates the wt society attended hedge fund conferences to look into more shadiness in 2011 and isn't it curious that by 2012 the wt society started showing losses.

  anyway here is the link : https://www.watchtowerlies.com/the_watchtower_revenue.html .. feel free to check this link out and other links on that link indicating the cayman island connection.

  First thoughts on "new" meeting...

  by konceptual99 in

  had a quick look at the workbook and flicked through the sample meeting video.. the increased use of video shows the trend for more centralised dissemination of "best practice" .

  sure there isn't really a "school" any more and the format is a bit different but i think those that called it as the same old crap just in new package got it pretty much right.

  It seems to me. More opportunity for Sisters to have a share, just in case a congregation is lacking Brothers. The demo video was different using shadow figures instead of real actors. Still looks like the same boring crap...just changed up a little to feel new!

  More help needed at Warwitch

  by DwainBowman in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  well when they first started the warwitch project, only the cream of the crop were allowed to go.

  they read a letter this week in my area, inviting all brothers in good standing, to go to a special meeting for anyone with building experience.

  they must be desperate, to allow the low life plain everyday sheeple's to volunteer!.

  Imagine that...Watchtower wanting to "use" you to bring your free labor and skills to benefit THEM! There greed is more apparent than ever but brain dead drones will keep on showing up.

  Are Circuit Overseers next?

  by Londo111 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  last year saw the elimination of the district overseer...and circuit overseers now must retire at 70. how long until the circuit overseer is no more?

  of course, the role might still exist, they would simply not get paid.

  they would have to care for their own expenses.

  "Wondrous Expansion is Now Taking Place..." oops

  by cofty in

  the organisation has always connected growth in numbers, publications and property with god's blessing.. they seem have set their themselves up for some difficult questions from the faithful.. pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.

  "There are a couple of COs and COWs that I'd enjoy seeing the expression on their faces when they get a "Hit the Road" letter."

  Oh...I couldn't agree with you more DOC. Not only would I like to see their expression but I'd love to kick their a** out the door physically (with a BIG smile on my face).

  What about JW missionaries?

  by Magnum in

  what is the situation with jw missionaries now?

  wasn't there a change in the last few years?

  weren't they told they would have to live with locals or something like that?

  I bet you will see the missionaries come home next. Their families will end up supporting most of these ones. I no longer believe the congregation can or will do this. They have tapped the congregations dry and pissed most off. The only way these pissed off ones can have a voice is stop donating. The kool aid drinking ubers are too broke to donate because the majority have no education and have been worshiping a man made organization. WT has shot themselves in the foot and karma is biting them in the a**. Now we can enjoy our weekend!
