  I think the WT believed their own "growth" statements - Financial Trouble Thoughts

  by thedepressedsoul in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  we've all read, heard and have seen in the videos where jw's and their leaders talk about the "huge" growth that is taking place.

  they've talked about how many kh they needed, branches etc... .

  our co last visit he mentioned how quickly the organization is speeding up and the huge growth they are seeing.

  OTWO added another interesting layer.... I know for a fact that locally a lot of "skilled" work is craftly paid for even though its officially "donated". For instance when a "brother" comes into move dirt for the foundation he "donates" his time but submitts bills for "mobilizing" his equipment.... Bills that are exactly what he would charge someone to the work secularly, interestingly enough. Yea and hes an elder.... Theres a lot wealth being spread around. I bet warwick is rife with similar stories.

  Come to think of it i remember george couch (bethel bigwig and asshat) selling land in brooklyn to the branch! That was a scam back in the old days...

  Lol at myself john... I saw in ur quote i fatfingered a word...

  as for not getting get ROI on the property, i think thats excatly what this new building program is for. New generaic KH that look like commercial space, ready to sell. Primed and ready as they stand. Plus land is always an asset. They arent making anymore after all....

  I dont think the top of the org believes the growth is real. They know better than anyone what a fragile pyramid it all is... This building program isnt about handling expansion of membership. Its about parking money. Building is very common way for the wealthy to "park" their money. Its got decent return on investment and is reasonably secure. Its not totally liquid but its fairly well "hidden" in a way cash is not. They arnt stupid or fooled nor are they drinking koolaid. They are cunningly managing assets.

  No no you all misinderstood! The organization was NEVER against social media. Evidently (tm) some well meaning individuals carried it a bit too far and misinderstood the fine spritual direction from the desert gods organization! We believe as we always have that social media, in moderation, is fine and may provide oportunities to witness to the desert gods name.

  Consider a small scale example..... A car driving up on a moving tractor trailer (think knight rider) ... Why dosent the car fly off the back of the trailer? Both have the same relative speed and it offsets

  Tsarnaev guilty - should he get death or not?

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. current

  i think he probably will (it is the us after all) but i hope he doesn't.

  he caused incredible pain and suffering to men, women and children who had never done anything to him.

  many died in unimaginable agony, others are disabled for life.

  I think he should be set free. He should be given a good job. He should have a really nice place to live. He should have a beautiful wife and live in peace and happiness.

  Then, once he is comfortable and complacent, he should have a homemade explosive set off without warning in close proximity to him shattering everything he holds dear and maming him. He should live just long enough after that to see his life crumple and to suffer weeks of agonizing pain. He should be transfused with pigs blood to keep him alive. And then he should be left in an alley on a cold rainy night to slowly die, alone, as rats chew on carcass.

  2. scandals

  oh man, i know i'm gonna catch flack for this.. everyone sees masonic conspiracies everywhere.. i am not a conspiracy theorist.

  i don't honestly believe the governing body are freemasons.. yet, probably due to cruising this site and seeing all the masonic conspiracy threads, i saw this when looking for a shot of lett's pinky ring to show how he wore one in october, but then took it off in may to ask for money.. .

  original is on the left, and on the right, i played with the brightness/contrast to get it to show up a little better.. what does the pattern on his ring look like to you?.
