They emphasize needing more money even while newly baptised growth is zero to barely any and their costs keep rising with inflation. In other words, this is a tip-off that they are desperate for money. Most of their annual $2 billion may be property holdings while actual liquid cash is relatively small and regular kinghall going JWs keep dropping and not donating as much.

by ozziepost inthe december issue of "kingdom ministry" for australia carries this announcement:.
"as a reminder to the brothers handling the congregation accounts, donations placed in the boxes for the worldwide work are to be remitted monthly and should not be used for payment on a kingdom hall property loan or for any other congregation expense.".

I may be trying out a new church....
by Eyebrow2 inmy husband is agnostic, and i really have not been able to find a religion that i am comfortable with.
the last year or so i have really been missing having something community based and a wee bit spiritual to belong to, especially since moving to texas, where i know just a few people and oh my god...everyone down here seems to go to church.
an organization that does not make me feel like i have to look at others and view them as bad becasuse they dont believe as i do.. my husband and i have been joking that we needed to find a church of irreverence...but then i started re reading the uniterian universalist posts, and checked out the local website.

Most Recent Messages View all Messages (3)WE BELIEVE JEHOVAH GOD ALMIGHTY (Psalm 83:18) wants those faithful to Him to enjoy life forever upon a paradise earth or resurrected to serve with Christ from heaven. (Ecclesiastes 1:4; Matthew 5:5, 6:10)
He comforts and guides us with the power of His Holy Spirit as seen in scriptures and the love of Christ who helped those in need such as the sick, hurt and poor, and who put the love and mercy of His Father above rigid interpretations of religious laws.
We are not affiliated with any other religious group including not with the Watchtower over Jehovah's Witnesses, Dawn Bible Students Association, Christadelphians, Adventists etc. We look directly to our heavenly Father and His Son, the Christ, and we use the Bible alone as our study material at Bible Study meetings.
To become a Christian servant examine your life as to harmony with Bible principles then form a group of two or more friendly persons who meet to read scriptures, fellowship and help others. Why not invite others to use the chatroom with you as well as be asking friendly persons locally to read the Bible locally with you?
May all interested join in fellowship enjoying Jehovah's guidance and blessings! Please tell others about the Church of Jehovah. Please note that is a clearinghouse for dispensing Bible information rather than a debate forum.

They should post because God gave them the gift of life and shown much goodness to us all even though we are all imperfect. Having been a JW is not the point, but the point is that we love God who did not cause the darkness that the apostate Governing Body over JWs has. Love, not negativity is the key to happiness!
BTW, the Andersons won the right to have their suit against Watchtower continued. Congratulations.

I believe that last part you said is correct so long as they do not confuse "Jehovah" as "Watchtower Governing Body." He is faithful; they are not.

A breeze comes from somewhere over the ocean. It leaves but comes and goes again. Jehovah Himself knows the way.

The "meat behind it" is Jehovah whose love shines through the darkness and brightens the lives of all who truly love Him and all that is good.

What the Church of Jehovah provides is the comfort that comes from the Bible instead of the Watchtower's apostacised Governing Body.
Fellowship is open to ex-JW's but also to all others who love Jehovah.
[deleted]
The emphasis is not on the name so much as the PERSON, who is kind and loving.
Local fellowship depends on those who are local to find one or more friendly persons to meet with, but the site itself also offers a chatroom and postings of upbuilding Bible readings.
I have to go now, but future readers are invited to see for themselves. Not all who post here are what they seem.
Best Regards to all kind-hearted ones,
