  i was raised in it---- from about 10 years old-----of course it was the only true religion--it just was--coz we were in it. then--one day--i stopped to think.

  Family Reuinion and Being Disfellowshipped (sorry...but it's long)

  by babygirl30 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it has been a long looong time since i posted on here, but never ceased reading all the posts and keeping up on the changes that have been going on!

  but it just seems that now i have a need to get something off my chest, and this is the one place that will most definitely understand the topic at hand.

  i have been disfellowshipped for about 8yrs now, and have dealt with the 'consequences' of that decision: all my so-called friends in the org left and i was also abandoned by my own family.

  Who oversees the money for the WT?

  by John Aquila in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  when the wt sells property for a billion dollars profit, who decides what that money is going to be used for?.

  when all the money comes in from all the kingdom halls bank accounts worldwide, did all that money go into one big account and who has authority to spend it and cut some checks to whoever?

  when all the monthly donations come in to the watchtower headquarters, who decides distribution, and to who?

  Just two weeks in our new home and the knock at the door happens!!

  by truthseekeriam in

  just relaxing with my morning coffee enjoying looking at the pictures fipper shared of the camping trip when the dreaded knock came.

  of course the dogs beat me to the door followed by my daughter trying to catch them, she looks through the giant peep hole and waves me away saying "its them.

  " i almost just walked away from the door when i saw the sweet face of a 5/6 year old little boy with his mom and dad and couldn't resist talking to them.. i opened the door and smiled and said jehovah's witnesses?

  JWs With A Financial Interest In The Org

  by JW_Rogue in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  through personal experiences which i'd rather not relate because it would give away my identity i have come to a realization.

  many brothers own businesses that a greatly supported by witness activities.

  when local congregations need some service they will prefer to do business with a jw.

  oooooooooooooooooohh i get it now-----and i thought it was all just the usual good old armageddon / resurrection / new world / everlasting life bolllocks that my old dad and mum bought into.

  so it really is just a money making scam for those in the know----ripping off and stitching up the rank and file.

  i ought to get back in quick--ive got a few ideas that should see me right.

  Curious JW Insurance salesman...

  by cognitivedizzy in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  found this interestinga week ago...recently i had a brother who does life insurance for a living call me to see if i was interested in a offering, since i was keen on taking up a insurance policy for my 1 year old daughter for her education purpose 20 years down the line i told him that he can come over,fast forward todayhe comes over with his manager (not a jdub) and we have a long chat about the various long term insurance plans... i found it very strange that a guy who believes that the world end is imminent would be so keen on selling me a policy with a tenure of 20 to 25 years .. in my mind , i'm thinking " is he serious ??

  "well after i agree to buy a policy for my child and specifically stating that its for her future education to pursue whatever higher education she likes, the manager encourages me saying " that's amazing , cos of education will increase in the future so on etc "... btw i live in a developing country when education is not free...so i'm done with all the paper works and the manager leaves, so its just me and the brother ( who is a ms by the way )i asked him, doe she really think i made a good choice paying for a expensive insurance plan for 20 years with good returns considering the end was so near..he was dumbstruck i aksed the question, he took a moment and hesitated and said this !!!

  !he was like "i don't ever think the world will end anytime soon "do i sense another dissenter .... perhaps a fellow man.... i'm excited :)

  i was a very busy life insurance salesman when i was a dub back in the 60's---and so were a lot of other brothers i knew. easy money--pick your own hours---ideal dub-job.
