Brother Knorr's Cadillac and other secret perks

by tim hooper in

back when i was a wee lad, my dad told me that the brothers in brooklyn had voted to purchase a cadillac motor car for the sole use of the then president, nathan h knorr.

he'd got this information from the london bethel, him being a chum of the then branch overseer, pryce hughes and his pal ron drage.

religious leaders of non-profit sects are supposed to take a vow of poverty!.

The Jehovah's Witness/Watchtower Society is a cult.

Now that you all know my opinion of the organization, the Watchtower Society did nothing wrong ot underhanded in buying and using an airplane in Alaska.

Many people who live there own private airplanes to commute to and from their jobs because their isolated towns and villages are too far from the oilfields for them to drive back and forth.

Also, Alaska has the largest land area of any state with very poor roads and extremly bad weather conditions 6-8 months out of the year.

Flying is the only reliable means of transportation.

As for the fancy cars...

Why should you succumb to emotional blackmail from someone who obviuosly doesn't give a rat's ass about your feelings, thoughts, aspirations and standards?

Your spouse sonds just like my ex, who basically said the same things yours is saying.

Mine wanted all those things from me because it would make her look good in the eyes of other Jehovah's Witnesses. She didn't (still doesn't) care about truth or being true to one's self.

The best thing for you to do is to move on.

Make some real friends. I found out after I left the cult that there are many good, kind, loving people who aren't Jehovah's Witnesses. Some of them are Christians and some of them aren't.

Another thing I discovered after leaving is that most so-called 'worldlings' are a lot nicer, make better friends and don't stab you in the back like many in Jehover's organisation do on a regular basis and then claim they are 'imperfect' when you find out about their duplicitous behavior.

Sparky1 says:

"IF the Governing Body ever thought of doing such a thing and that is a BIG IF.................you can bet your bottom dollar that they would only procure free food, that was out of date, from grocery stores and other retail outlets. They would never, ever spend money on such a project. Then after they distributed the food they would 'pat themselves on the back' and proclaim loudly to the four corners of the earth how generous and 'christlike' they are. UGH!!!!!"

hoser says:

" Food banks don't help pay multimillion dollar sexual abuse law suits, but your generous donations to the world wide work will be put to good use."

Heaven says:

Still waiting on Jehovah to provide that second helping of manna...

That's the way it is in Jehovah's generous organization.

we have recently got wind of the j-dub bitch man-handling her by grabbing her by the face, scolding her, yelling at her.

it has been said that the father does nothing about it.

Report her abuse to the Department of Human Services, or the equivalent since you live in Canada.

Blondie says:

"Actually the enterprising ones quickly find out what bad employees jws make."

Not only do JW's make bad employees, they are apt to sue their employer:

Probably more than any other religious group in the United States, Jehovah's Witnesses have a number of religious beliefs and practices which can lead to confrontations with their Employers, with their co-workers, with customers, and with others with whom they interact on the job. That fact does not mean that the civil rights of a Jehovah's Witness Employee are any less inviolate than the civil rights of other employees. It simply means that Employers will probably have to pay a little more attention to those employees who are Jehovah's Witnesses.

Cleaning and polishing floors at Walmart using a propane powered Pioneer Eclipse Buffer late at night is a much sought after profession by Jehovah's Witnesses.
