Will the Watchtower Company in the near future start asking for a tithe?

by Sour Grapes in

it appears that the borg has some financial issues and i would think they are related to the hush money being paid out for the child molestation lawsuits to protect the guilty cult members and the fine untarnished reputation of the jdubs.. we have seen how much the borg refers to the hebrew scriptures for their guiding principles whenever it suits the borg's needs.

tithing certainly is laced throughout the old testament.

under the mosaic law, there were three tithes.

dubs that dont contribute are of no value to the watchtower. so if a tithe pushed them out the door--so what ?

What are you most passionate about?

by SplaneThisToMe in

i had an interview today and was asked a question o have gotten in the past: what are you most passionate about?

it was a struggle to come up with an answer on this one.

as a jw, the things i was passionate about were chosen for me.

stan livedeath

dog muck.

or rather--the vile people who dont clean up after their animal dumps on the pavement ( sidewalk ) i would passionately shove it in their face.

heres one i cleaned up outside my house today.

another business idea for watchtower PLC

by stan livedeath in

its been mentioned before---care homes.

in the uk there are a few ( no idea how many ) jireh care homes--loosely connected with the watchtower.. but take this on board.

the dubs are an ever aging customer base.. in the uk, lots of the ageing population end their years in privately run care homes.

stan livedeath

They are awful, grey, soulless places but not a get rich quick scheme.

trust me--in the UK the private care home industry is a get rich scheme. ive seen it from the inside.

so--with a good-growing client base---fee income guaranteed--and access to free labour..the watchtower couldnt go wrong. obviously subject to jehovahs blessing--of course.

God's Wife

according to scripture, god has a wife -israel.

he is her husband/husbandly owner.. the nation was cast off but jehovah said he would never leave israel.

that being said, jesus spoke of israel as a spiritual nation and the 144,000 to be picked from both israel and the nations (to fulfill the number) who were to be king priests with him.

stan livedeath

i would be very slightly interested where it says in the bible about the 144k also coming from the nations.

its been mentioned before---care homes. in the UK there are a few ( no idea how many ) jireh care homes--loosely connected with the watchtower.

but take this on board. the dubs are an ever aging customer base.

in the UK, lots of the ageing population end their years in privately run care homes. if they have plenty of money--or equity in their property--then they pay the fees. but if they dont, having just a pension, then our local authorities pick up the bill..or most of it.

so--the watchtower has an ever growing customer base--with the income guaranteed.

but--on the other hand--the biggest outgoing is the staff cost.

NOOO PROBLEM----think of the pioneers, the door knockers, the cart attendants, the construction volunteers. it wouldnt take too much persuation to get those volunteers to work for nothing where the need is great--in the watchtowewr care homes.

in fact--its a 2 way benefit. the care volunteers get useful on the job training--for an NVQ in social care. for all i know the watchtower care home society can get funding for the training.

"wordly" care homes are often crying out for staff--my wife regularly works 50 hours + a week in a nearby home because of staff shortages.

so--to sum up the business plan.

watchtower forms an arms-length company to use KH sale cash to buy sites to develope as care homes---built with volunteer labour

an ever increasing customer base waiting to buy the service--with fees guaranteed ( in the UK )

a large volunteer workforce ready to get stuck in. like bethel service.

i'll leave it to some other smart arse to think up the spin the society will need to sell the idea to the dubs.
