  Have you read the Book ' You'll never eat lunch in this town again ' ?
  
  I have a vague recollection of discussions (on TV) stemming from interviews with the author.
  You've reminded me I wanted to read the book.
  Thank you

  we have to get rid of these racist relics.

  i propose that we destroy all these bottles of syrups and burn every pancake box !

  we need to get rid of anything that reminds us of anything negative concerning slavery.. in boston they decapitated the head of christopher columbus and got rid of his statue.

  700 million laundered funds by Watchtower to avoid sex lawsuit payment?

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  based on a daily telegraph article : jehovah's witnesses accused of selling off assets and moving cash to avoid sex abuse compensation

  watchtower has 800 charities in australia and australian law says they don't have to report assets below 1 million .

  doesn't this imply watchtower can have in excess of 700 million laundered funds?

  I concur that the reporting in the article is all based on allegations
  by the Ex-J-Dubs providing the documentation. And too, the journalism rampant in our world today is shakier than a palsy ward.
  
  But on the other hand - I wouldn't put it past the GB to resort to the same tactics Pastor Russell employed to bereft his estranged wife of alimony increases.

  In a pandemic, they'll continue selling off their kingdom hall real estate centerpieces and centralize their whole cult online with all "meetings, assemblies & conventions" done on zoom online.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  What unavoidable conclusion can be drawn from the above?

  Jehovah's Witnesses Class Warfare (parallels to Karl Marx)

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  among jehovah’s witnesses, the elite consists of 144,00 kings and priests who have been specially selected (anointed) to rule in heaven (as transformed spirit beings) over the second group (great crowd) who remain human on a paradise earth.. .

  in marxist theory, the elite use wealth to obtain political power and control ideology consisting of shaping the worldview of the underclass.

  (their role in society.).

  To become a JW in good standing is to become cattle in a herd; docile, manageable, and utilitarian.
  In a word: mentally "Lazy."
  
  It takes enormous effort to allow the foundation of your world rug-pulled from under you and to regain your balance as you re-order your entire mental universe!
  
  Basing everything not just on a book (Bible) but interpretation of it - disallows the clean slate of apostasy. Who will interpret your abandonment, rebellion, restructuring in a meaningful way?
  
  Communists and JW's live in an ordered Universe where everything which isn't commanded is disallowed - and *tergiversation is certainly disallowed and punished. (*desertion of a cause, position, party, or faith).
  
  Personally, I'll not soon forget an overwhelming feeling I discovered within myself upon visiting a UNITARIAN church.
  After two hours of services, as I was walking out I turned to the friend who'd invited me and said: "I don't think I can handle this."
  My friend said, "Why not?"
  I replied, "Because you aren't against anything."
  I suddenly discovered I needed to strike against something "wrong or bad" and there just wasn't any target. Consequently, no purpose in going to church. This impulse was bred into me by the JW's!
  I had no craving at all for fellowship itself.
  Wow.

  I should have hung on to my purple KINGDOM INTERLINEAR version, but I didn't know that one day it would come in handy to point out to the feckless Puritans at Watchtower how imprecise (deliberately) their wording is in order to push an ideology.
  
  Usually Puritans end up in a circular firing squad. If you don't believe it, look at the internationalist crisis in the Democrat Party.
  They are so busy with cancel culture, blacklisting, and de-platforming purges , they are inadvertently handing out Red Pills all over their map.

  The thing that has changed the most during my lifetime is in the way News programs no longer report facts.
  This has been replaced by opinions and misleading efforts at disruption and sabotage.
  
  For instance:
  Hypocrisy by Science and Health reporters and experts condemning public gatherings as "Human Sacrifice" on the one hand - and changing to a full
  justifiable embracing of public gatherings for protest -
