  here in france we received instruction to stand back from the cart.. so you can see "angels" witnessing with a cart by its own, no one around, and no one cares, i stayed a while, did my shopping, and half an hour later the "poor angel" was still there on his own.... i guess wherever is the publisher, he s hard working counting his hours..

  Mercy and compassion are personal qualities, they do not have time limits.

  Measure your philosophy with the Bible not with my posts.

  Bible says that fighters will not be shown mercy. After attacking God's people, they have shown to be God's enemies and having been given every every opportunity previously to support the kingdom they instead choose to kill God's friends, and when God comes to defend his friends, any enemy wielding weapon against God's friends will be exterminated. Good riddance to Amalek. It is a warning from God. If you choose to defy the warning, do not expect mercy. Mercy is extended now. Last chance.

  "No one comes to me unless the Father draws him." "The kingdom of God is in your midsts." They couldn't even see him.... "...when the son of man is revealed.."

  But God is merciful "He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants all to repent." With God all things are possible. If you WANT it. But an enemy will not be given mercy.

  Question: What would it take to get the BORG'S tax exempt status REVOKED?

  by Black Man in

  i've always wondered about this.

  i've always felt the main reason the borg made publishers do time slips/field service reports was to show that they are doing a community service to justify their tax exempt status.

  we all know about their money grabs with the kh build scams, their selling off millions of dollars in real estate, etc.

  Brooklyn properties maxed out in value. The only thing to do was to sell. An imminent eminent domain was possible. (I know of cases where the State condemned church owned property) And pressure because of the need of more housing in that area, NY harbor houses overlooking Manhattan are very desirable. WT religious order does need to operate from such expensive residential real estate ANYMORE, and that is a lot of cash. Move to warwick to prepare for God's war with the wicked and direct things from there. An expected GT by 2017 (anyone read that hint in a publication?)

  But the WT will NEVER loose tax status because they are a religious order and a non prophet organization same as other religions, protected by the constitution same as ss marriages. Religions serve a political purpose but they do not want to learn from history (STOP making trouble) but religions harboring dead Gods will not last for ever. Religion is doomed unless God comes to her rescue. Religion is integrated into the US Constitution but the UN has trained Russian troops to be sent into the US to fight against civilians because ( I have been told ) American troops cannot be unleashed against the American people. WT is not worried in the least about lawsuits (or money), they are veterans, they tried to close WT back circa 1914 and WT foes were defeated and humiliated, WT marched through Court Street for 100 years proclaiming their victory. See how things play out now, but my money is on the WT. In the end they will win. That is how I see the chess board.

  World Wide Construction comes to a Shuddering Halt - Jehovah's Blessing has Evidently been Suspended!

  the chelmsford project in the uk has already come to a halt and every one has been sent home.

  the bethel family in london is to be cut by several hundred.

  my impression is that most ambitious youngster in the org dream of being involved with the building program.

  Splutter and bluster all you want, it's happening, dude.

  Madam Curie, saying it is so don't make it so. I have every reason to believe the rumors, the confirmed rumors and the contradiction to the confirmed rumors. But I do not know for sure from what is posted. You can believe what you like and conclude what you like about it - assuming that it is true- but, all I want to know is, if it is true. That is it.

  This site is pretty big, and it has a lot a lot of stuff about the wt. What makes you think WT would not be interested or at the very least concerned? Prior to this site, JW were pretty much in the dark regarding the elders, policy and perspective, and forensic analysis of WT teachings through the years, blood and child abuse policy. -Not that it changes anything regarding what JW already know, or their faith, but it does change what some JW believed they knew- and besides that, some JW resented being subjugated to the power the elders had over them having secret knowledge about policy and it made some JW feel bad because of it. The site brought the elders to the same level as everybody else in the congregation, Elders have no more secret knowledge over anybody else, except private stuff about individuals, and no one wants to know that, or cares to know that. Average Joe W was lucky if elders gave them a tidbit of information, always begging like a puppy dog for a hint. And if you were DF, zilcho , if not minus one. Also, any DF JW trying to make a comeback would not even get the KM while the rest of the world had it Secret knowledge does not control JW anymore. Not that it changes JW faith at all, but the information could help a JW to make a more informed conscience decision that perhaps a JW would have trouble with because an elder could not help because of political reasons. -Not that JW does not want to submit to authority or want to challenge anything at all, but JW have a more perspective view with more information.

  This is the biggest news since Oct 1, 1914 and the best confirmation is calls to branches with conflicting information. How in the world is it possible to keep information like this under your hat when it involves thousands of people doing construction around the globe and possibly millions having knowledge. IT would be like hiding the sun with your finger. You don't need an announcement, it would be self evident. I suppose anything is possible though, but it is out of phase with wts protocol. They don't do stuff like this, stooping the work all of a sudden without any prior hints, not unless because some sudden unexpected event. People would know this by now.

  this video leaves no doubt whatsoever.

  the person who took the video got really close and the video clearly shows that the flag is behind the glass and behind the bars protecting the kingdom hall.

  A simple explanation for the financial changes

  by JeffT in

  as i've mentioned from time to time, i'm a retired accountant.

  i have tried many times to come up with some logical, sound business reason why the wtbs has made the big changes in its financial arrangements: taking the congregations savings, the monthly donations per congregation etc.

  i finally came up with the answer.. the leadership of the watchtower society is batshit crazy.

  The GB does not handle WT finances as NHK did. It is delegated to clever cookies, very qualified to administer WT money. The WT knows what it is doing.
