i was wondering if there is a website available that lists all of the properties the watchtower owns, as well as the current value of those properties?

if not, what would it take to establish one?

i think people would be very interested in what the watchtower holds as property or as businesses.

I think it is a shame that most JW's really don't have a clue how wealthy the JW organization is. They just feel that the money they take in pays for the cost of those books. Nothing like having the head JW's make you have your head up your backside

I hate math problems but don't believe in the 144,000 at all. I think every good person is part of that, not just some special MEN that think they are touched

JW Children, Holidays, and Memories

by somebodylovesme in

my husband and i were walking through the store today and we passed a display of valentines -- you know, the kind that school kids buy and exchange in the classroom.

i paused and glanced them over, remembering how much i used to love holidays at school.

(husband is an inactive/faded jw; i was never one.

I remember how bad it felt coming back from Christmas vacation and the kids would talk about what they got for Christmas. I use to feel bad because we had no great stories to share. Now as an adult I moved in to the Catholic faith. I put up five Christmas trees in my house, sing in the choir at church and do solo work there also. I cherish every Christmas and holiday feeling grateful to be done with the JW faith. The holidays are very dear to me

Just had a visit from my mom

by Bumble Bee in

about two weeks ago, i had a fallout with my mother and sister.

they totally overreacted to a situation and said some pretty nasty things, called me apostate and said they never wanted to see me again.

i tried my hardest to not react the same way, and try to explain some things but they didn't want to listen.

DaveNwisconsin

you are lucky

HOW MANY ARE REALLY TRUE TO ORGANIZATION TEACHINGS???

by chuckyy in

my experience since leaving the jw's, knowing certain ones who still have contact, is that many jw's in good standing have done, or are doing things that could merit expulsion.

celebrating new year.

agreeing to blood transfusion.

One of the JW's at work will put up the Christmas decorations! When he is assigned that job he could say no but does it because its an easy job. He also works the Saturday after the holiday for time and a half. He is someone who can marry other JW's and it makes me sick that there religion is when its ok for them, but they still shove it down your throat whenever they can!
