Kingdom Hall Money Grab Was for Child Abuse Its Completely Clear

by thedepressedsoul in

if youve followed the news lately there are more and more child abuse cases popping up.

one lawyer said he has over 28 cases in the pipeline that are going to be coming out soon.

on december 1 st a new one just popped up.

I think that it isn't that hard to liquidate.. . lots of cash can buy things that are ostensibly the organizations, but which are portable and easily disposed of (gold, jewelry, cash). If there are accounts overseas of investments, or even here, if they get it out, put in into cash and leave, they are guilty, but easily out of reach of anyone who would go after them for it. Someone would have to clean up the mess. . . but it wouldn't be THEM.

There is a possibility that years ago I read too much John Grisham, but I don't think this stuff is rocket science.

Did You Feel Bad For the JW Dishwasher-Cook Who Quit His Job (May JW Broadcasting)To Avoid Attending Later Meetings? He Pioneered on Welfare or Unemployment!

by RoyalFlushPhil in

did you watch the story about the jw who was working as a burger boy at some diner and his boss wanted him to work on sunday during the time of his meeting?

this faithful jw decided he could not attend a later meeting (6 pm sunday meeting) and soon quit his job(or got fired to attend his sunday meeting) so he could attend the sunday meeting he was assigned to.

i think he was on welfare because this story states he won't work on sunday morning because that's when his meeting is!

JWdaughter

In our local halls, there are 3-5 congregations. He refused to keep his job because he would have to change meeting TIMES? No one said he had to work from 5am-8pm!

I remember when I was a kid and changing halls to one that one was not assigned to was a huge issue. My mom and her best friend/next door neighbor both moved from one cong. to another (same hall). Neither one wanted to change congs. The friend was baptised, but really new. My mom still didn't take the step of baptism and since we moved tothe same neighborhood just down the road from the cong. they let them stay in the old congregation. It was an actual kerfluffle to let two JW families, new/weak/study to stay in the congregation that they knew and loved. I thought it petty then and seeing this guy and what he did just to not go to a different meeting tells me that it is still held as very important/near critical to stay in the assigned cong-whether you have to quit your job to do so or not.

NO, I don't feel sorry for the guy. He bought into a lie and watched his family suffer for it, let taxpayers suffer for it. . . while he went bowling. He couldn't travel? Cause that is unlike what the apostles or Jesus did. . .REALLY?

Why did new JWs get their prayers answered more readily? Is that an actual teaching (before now-cause they said it, so it must be truth, right?)

I had sex with my wife but now he’s my brother.

by John Aquila in

golden age 1930 apr 2 p.446.

question: will husband and wife live together after the resurrection is completed, if both are in harmony with god?.

the most that we know is that here will be no children born during the last 100 years of the millinnium (isa.

JWdaughter

Wow. This gets filed. Didn't think sex reassignment surgery had become possible back then:)

I truly cannot believe the crap they came/come up with. And that they were ever considered credible at ALL.

Giant fruit in Canaan/TNS

by rebel8 in

jw
friends

ok bible scholars, do i have this right?.

jehoopla promised the israelites lots of great stuff in the promised land, but they didn't believe him so they sent spies to check it out.

they came back with fruit so large it had to be carried on a branch by 2 men.. from this, dubs believe they are going to have strawberries the size of king king's skull when they get to their own promised land (the new system).

JWdaughter

Let's face it, folks, there is nothing sexy about a strawberry the size of king kong's head. Or a grape. They are perfect for us normal sized human beings right now-and we don't need to have a family the size of the Duggars to justify slicing into a strawberry!

The way they are sized and taste now are perfectly made for eating and enjoying. Having grown strawberries, my best suggestion is find a way to keep slugs away from them.

Lett and his instruction in KMS

by JWdaughter in

ok, l know i am not the first to notice or likely comment on this, but as little as i respect commenting on persons, i am going to do it now.. lett seems like a charicature.

he is so strange-i cringe when i watch him speak.its as ifhe was once given advice to speak slowly and clearly and now he just talks like a cartoon.

he creeps me out.

JWdaughter

eh, I have watched the others and I have seen a lot of JW speakers over the years. Good and bad. The last memorial I went to was a man who was supposedly annointed and it was the best memorial I ever heard-and I was hostile towards JWs particularly then. He actually spoke about Jesus in such a warm and loving way that I think he was actually a real follower.

I havent ever before felt the need to pick on the way they look, though I might pick on speaking style a bit-I really think that its a weak thing to do, so I am ashamed of myself. I might criticize the content/speech, but to pick on the person is mean (god forgive my meanness). He just wigs me out.

Remember the masturbation video? I think he instructed the sign language translator. . . eww.

Flipper, please don't disrespect Mr. Rogers!! He was really sincerely a good guy, not just trying to look like one.

I was checking out the request for funds=May JW.org talk. Man gives me the heebie jeebies. He was once told to use more expression when he spoke and pause and smile lot, lift his eyebrows, ENUNCIATE so his lips could be read from space. EWWW.

How did he ever get to that position when he is just so disturbing to even look at with the volume off? And LORD, when I put the volume on,its just 10x worse.

WBTS / JW views never quoted as good source of information

by menrov in

not sure if my title is correct.

what i noticed is that in say secular bible research documentation, books, lectures etc, one never (or at least i have never read it) reads a quote from one of the former or current wbts leaders nor do i ever see a reference to one of their publication (unless it is article about the jw/wbts itself).. for example, if you read a book on a bible theme or topic written by a scholar or other bible teachers/professors from prof xyz, you will find often in these books a reference to publications / statements / quotes from other scholars or professors.

but never have i seen a reference to say a wt publication or quote / statement from one the leaders of the organisation.. so, despite the million page printed or conferences organised by the wbts, the material apparently is never considered of value to others or to use as reference material.. in my view, that says a lot..... or am i wrong?

JWdaughter

THey have no respect in academia as they are not actually bible scholars, but bible twisters. Its different, no matter how they prefer to see it.

All Seeing Eye on WBTS Video!

by Alan Forbes in

i was on the jw.org website today and decided to watch a video entitled 'respect jehovah's authority'.

to my surprise approximately 3mins 25secs into the video, as the opening title began to fade, a symbol of the all seeing eye (eye of horus) appeared on the screen.

the scene was not set in egypt, but in a hebrew tent in the wilderness where praise was being sung to jehovah!!

JWdaughter

IT just looked like a graphical print (border) that had a vague shape in the middle that could be seen as the all seeing eye, but I really don't think it was meant to be-it looks like a continuous pattern accross the page, not just an eye in the middle.
