  Another great video of someone waking up!!! Using our "thinking mind"

  by Olivia Wilde in

  i love the fact what he said about reading crises of conscious: if you read that book as a jw and still think the wt has the truth, something is wrong with you....the song played at the end is simply classic and very appropriate.

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

  by flipper in

  1. watchtower
  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.

  If I hear any of this in my area or from anyone, I'll bet them the house.

  It reminds me of the KM that said that year's Memorial might be the last one.

  How much fall-out can we expect?

  by DATA-DOG in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so the wtbts ( the gb and the branch, aka lawyers and puppet masters ) have decided to end "special pioneering" for some, if not all of the order.

  there is no way to accurately predict the fall-out, but it's potentially huge!

  jws, for the most part, are under educated, sheltered, unprepared, frightened humans.

  On the realization you will not "live forever"

  i'm not old and not in bad health.

  The fear of death comes natural to us because it's unnatural to our nature.

  I live life everyday doing good to my fellow man but especially my family.

  I know when my time comes I will fall asleep happy and content.

  Happy in that while I was alive I lived the life Christ asked me to live out of sincere love for Him and His sacrifice.

  Love for Jehovah for his incredible sacrifice He made just so our existence would continue.

  Content in that I loved my family to the fullest and gave them my best.

  The opportunity to live again is a bonus that I don't intend on turning down ;-)

  Are JW's preaching God's Kingdom throuout the entire world?

  by Big Derp in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just a quick question for anyone who can answer.

  i know jw's are not preaching in certain middle east countries because of the "danger".

  yet i know for a fact catholics are there despite the danger, and many are being slaughtered and raped.. i have also travelled to many arctic and sub arctic inuit and cree communities.

  When a JW, or even where I am now, it seems like a non-issue to me and I can't see it being a catalyst issue for a new lurker.

  @ DOC - a true Christian will follow Christ and no one else. That is the will of God, for people to listen to his Son.

  How can you say the person whom we must believe in, put our faith in, rest our faith in, are named after, and be saved by, is a non-issue?

  The Searcher is right. I've always wondered even when I was 100% in, why the WTS pushed Jehovah as the sole salvation instead of the Christ. I too agree and am overwhelmed with the scriptures that indicate this. That is one of the reasons why the WTS inserted the name 'Jehovah' into so much of the New Testament. So they can quote it more!

  Salvation by Christ is the premise of the New Testament!
