7 Governing Body Members = 21 Condo Apartments ?

by Alfred in

a few years ago, a bethelite mentioned to me that each gb member has an apartment in patterson, walkhill and brooklyn... a total of 21 condos.... now, assuming this is true, i'd like to make an extremely conservative estimate of these condos.... if each condo is worth only $250,000 us, that's still a total of $5.25 million.

assuming the furnishings are worth on $50,000 for each apartment, that's another $1.05 million.

add to that number their vehicles (worth roughly $30k), that's another $630k... all told, we're looking at a number well over $7 million (by this conservative estimate).... any ex-bethelites care to shed some light on this subject?

As BTS said, he would walk out. He is a religious man that looks to the bible for answers, as over 1 billion others do.

The bible may indicate that homosexuality is immoral, but it does not justify humans taking "the law" into their own hands, so to speak, and punishing other humans(making outcasts, bullying, abusing, killing)....well at least the "New Testimant" doesn't justify that....hmmm, kind of confusing.

Well worth discussion.

While the discussion/dialoge continues, I'll let "god" be the judge, and until it's clear, I'm working on treating my fellow man like I want to be treated.

Too bad the thread has gone this way.

The speaker is trying to make some good points. The religious folks were making a statement by walking out. He was offended by their rude protest, so....

I disagree with his approach, even though I have to agree with his line of reasoning.

maybe this information has surfaced here before, but if so it is worth repeating periodically:.

a couple weeks ago i was shocked after doing a google search for crisis of conscience when it brought up amazon with four distributors selling the book in soft-cover for collector prices between $169.95 us to over $650, with only 4 copies available.

hard cover was not available new, and used copies were being sold for over $50-75.

I think people should just swing buy there local libary and see if they have it.

Apostasy my ass!

by Glander in

jw

let's call it what it is - disagreeing with the watchtower bible and tract society after baptism into the cult.

in no way is the literal definition of the word "apostasy" applicable to what the cult is using the word for.

it is a buzz word that scares the crap out of the rank and file and keeps them from communicating with those who have become enlightened about the cults lies.. we here on jwn have accepted the wt label, "apostates", with a sense of humor, such as calling our get togethers apostafests, etc.. but we are actually the "enlightened"..

As taught by the "Organization", Jehovah is very concerned about his reputation so he want's to make sure that over thousands of years, and human suffering, his son Satan will be proved a liar. Eventually, when he feels it's been proven, he will be able to step in and finally DESTROY all those that do not accept his godship. Fortunately, he has a time set, so it won't be long.
