Barren Jewish Women, and Stud Puppet Fertile Jewish Men.

by gumby in

have you ever read in the bible of a hebrew man being sterile?

nope.

it's always the poor ol' lesser, hebrew women who can't have a kid but the men can impregnate just about anything.

DaCheech

In the early 90's the WT started to become women friendly. Therefore started twisting the words in the

bible to show how fair those laws were to women! They compared the bible law to those of other nations!

apostate inaccuracies

granted i havent been to the kh in years.

but when i did several talks dealt with how apostates lie about the wtbs, the apostates make up stuff and attribute the quotes to wtbs.

apostates all have evil intentions of taking god away from you.

DaCheech

For goodness sake: when they give experiences in their publications they say "joann* was a faithful ......"

at the footnote is says: names have been changed.....

They can't even use people names for things they say are correct?

Kingdumb Halls...crying poor. Are they really?

for the last 2 1/2 years of my jw experience, the kh was always saying how they had no money to pay the bills.

they started holding "dollar days" at the meetings to get donations (the idea was everyone brought a dollar a meeting on top of their normal donation).

finances reportedly got so bad that they had to decide to buy oil for the furnace, or plow the driveway one winter.

Ditto here: 100% to 0% are always in favor

Seems like my hall replaced the carpet and chairs that were good. What happened is that the new

carpet was too light and got the sh--t stained out of it in 3 weeks (a sister was an int. decorator and did the whole thing)

My friends cong needed carpet and his witness friend (carpet salesman) was quoting carpet and installation for the company he worked for. Seems like

the elders thought bethellites could do the labor for cheaper........ wrong! they quoted a price higher than the commercial place!

Also, the elders bugged the sh--t out of the company for every nuisance (price, deliery date, scheduing, etc ec), and the Witnesses' boss said he would never deal with them again!

6) we pay a "contribution" to the circuit fund for the overseer's apartment

For example this line expense is not really an expense, but we pay the congregation setting up

his apartment. It's passing from one hand to another, and yet looks like to the congregation

as an expense and reported as so. Therefore people see "we were short $150.00 or xx dollars last month", it

would be nice if our good spirits will see what we can do to make this up!

Inspiration to donate!

Since I do accounting in KH I'll tell you our story:

Every month: We pay

1)Mortgage

2)Gas/Electric

3)Maintenance

4)then we give fixed amount to society as what they call KHAA (kingdom hall assistance arrangement) this pays C.O.'s insurance/car/ and misc stuff

5)we automatically give each month a set amount made by our elders to Worldwide work (on top of what publishers stick in that box)

6) we pay a "contribution" to the circuit fund for the overseer's apartment

7) we give Overseer his expense check

8) we give bethellites that come to our congregation a expense check

9) we give bethellites doing talk in our congr. a fixed amount of $20 per talk

then if our savings go over a certain amount (to be determined by elders) we send to society for safe investing (they tell us we can have back anyyyyyyyyy time)

So, when all is said and done we always have between $2,000 to $4,000 in bank!

Unwritten prophecies of JWs,

...that helped the wt to recover after 1975 failure.

all of us could document the written false prophecies of the wtower, 1799, 1874, 1914 -15-18-19-1935-75.by 2000....etc but how about the unwritten ones?

can you document any?.

DaCheech

The JW's said it showed how God dealt with those who left the WT.
The guy picked himself up, and spent the following years rebuilding his buisness. Which became more prosperous than before. What did the JW's say? "See how Satan supports those who leave the WT."

This is the JW sindrome.

My friend that is in his mid 40's has a hard time finding a sister (since there are few, and they're either psychos or picky themselves),

he also lost a good amount of money in stocks. Well the brothers told hime that Satan attacks his people, and he can expect not to succeeed!
