even while her husband was dying and afterwards brothers would visit her and read scriptures about the resurrection and paradise???
wtf!!!
!she said she knows those scriptures by heart and instead just wanted some support and to cry...which is what we did when we went to see her.....it's such a cold sterile, robotic religion.
Happy Guy, I am so sorry that you went through that.
The whole notion that funerals are another place for propaganda has bothered me for so long, some of the last funerals I went to were nothing short of a public talk.
Your post reminded me of those funerals and how just how rotten this organization is.
i see many threads that address this issue, but i still don't have a clear thought on this.
so i want your help.. the governing body misleads the members- no doubt.
they do change some of their history to make the wt organization look smarter or better-guided by "jehovah.
You said that you have "thoroughly researched" the finances of the WBTS.
In which case, what I am really Not understanding why we can't see the research? Links? Something?? Anything to back up what is being said.

OKay,
So we Think that it's POSSIBLE that the Watchtower Org is siphoning funds. I think it's Possible too.
Don't we need some evidence to prove this? I mean, heh, believe me, last year dealing with the end of ridiculous cookie sales for GS I was pretty darned sure someone was getting kickback and whatnot. So I understand it.
But before going out in the world and telling people that this is what's going on, I think I need evidence.
SO
What is the evidence that they are doing this?
and would you want to?
its starting to seem like a distent memory for me, even though its only been a year.
At times I do.
My life is so not about the JW's anymore. I go through life with it fading more and more from my memory.
I like that. But it took a very long time to get to that point.....

But what would the money be used for? Is there something I'm missing that the money is being laundered and used for private purposes like cars, mansions, etc? Because a lot of non profits make billions a year. Making the money in and of itself is not the problem as much as how the money is being used.
SO okay so we know they bring in billions. But if they funneling the money Back into the organization I don't see how this makes them evil and deliberate liars.
Now, I'll admit, it's 8:15 am and I have yet to have my coffee so I am completely aware that I may be missing what point is trying to be made.
But for s**** and giggles, could someone help me understand how Making the money itself is a bad thing? OR is there evidence that the money is being used in a purpose not intended for this particular non profit?
of the just waking up after a really long night class
search: scientology loses fraud case, a-list member.
with a fraud conviction, an oscar winner's angry departure and rumors of another a-list defection, the church of scientology is under fire.
here's a primer on the controversial religion and its recent round of negative press.. a paris court has convicted the church's french wing of fraud, after two ex-members alleged pressure to buy treatments and vitamins.
Wow. What I would Really like to say is not very fit even for this website.
About as many thumbs up as possible for Mr. Haggis for showing up who the Scientologists really are.
and if so any tips?plus i have no idea how to decorate it....
