  My conclusion on the matter

  by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  after being brought up a jw, going to mts, bethel, pioneer school multiple times, serving in foreign assignments and having been an elder for decades my conclusion is that i am now pima, physically in mentally agnostic.. agnostic means you think it can’t be proven either way creation or evolution.

  i do tend to lean towards evolution but creation at the very start because you can’t get life from dead matter.

  but i’m open to the possibility of chance theory at the origin of it all.

  It won't do any good if they do read it -- they know and have structured the evil system.

  Teddnzo -- congregations could be likened to pubs or bars these days just without the drinks, those come at other times. Hilarious!

  Longey -- I'm sure the 'worthless religion' would love having a 'fringey' like you back in the ranks contributing in the new tithing program. Hard to believe they hit on the single women for handouts - what a group of misfits. I recall slugs throwing around the term, 'he/she/they don't like to share' their possessions, etc. Parasites had found their religion for prey🙏🏻. Salvation army and respectable charitable orgs had probably tossed them to the curb or they were double-hitting.

  Can the Watchtower Society survive without time reports?

  by DT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there has already been much discussion about how the watchtower society has declared in australia that going door to door is part of a personal ministry.

  this seems to be a lame attempt to avoid liability considering that they require time reports and have formal meetings for field service at the kingdom hall.. this is a bit of a dilemma.

  reporting time and formal meetings for field service are important methods of control, however it's not clear if the organization is willing or able to handle the potential liability that may come from this.. imagine what would happen if they lost these methods of control.

  Has there ever been a defector or turncoat from the financial arena of WT? The bean counters must get a cut 😂 -- not sure how they maintain privacy and protect/secure the group's secrecy other than execution of confidentiality agreements/clauses thus paying/retaining professional accounting firms. Use the in-house volunteers for basic bookkeeping only.

  Professional CPA firms aren't inexpensive - can't imagine their legal/accounting costs.

  Didn't they implement new contribution plan? Was the recent rant for funds to jog their memory and fire up the adherents -- whatever they're called these days -- members not publishers or some krazy. They know who follows the rules and regs re/contributing so will they ostracize or down vote 'sincere ones' from the pecking order if they can't spring/hand over funds! Must be very difficult for some. Most likely, same ole die hards are paying as usual as they plod along for blessings plus toss in extra bucks for the corporation's begging efforts.

  Longy - those sheeple with retirement plans (if still kickin') are looking pretty good in the club now.
