  i have been posting into the forum since 2001(my previous avatar was "justhuman" and when forum changed to net, i couldn't retrieve my old avatar so i had to use a similar one and log in again).

  almost 15 years are gone.

  made some friends here, including mr flipper and one that i really miss dearly is oompa.

  Is the WBTS a parasite on worldly society?

  by Frazzled UBM in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so i ran into a couple of elderly lady witnesses on the street and asked them the usual questions about how much they knew about the history of the organisation.

  anyway after being dismissed with the usual contempt i asked them whether they were working and the answer was "no we are on the pension and live in council housing".

  so it got me to thinking that across the developed world there must be very large numbers of witnesses or ex-witnesses in exactly the same situation - basically living off the evil worldly state or more precisely the taxes of evil worldly people.

  I would agree with you, I wonder what percentage of the JWs get some sort of public assistance which comes from a government that they do not have the ok to vote for.

  New NWT - what's the REAL reason?

  by wallsofjericho in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  one thing i have learned over the years is there is a clear, distinct purpose to everything the wts does.

  everything is done to accomplish a defined purpose.. did they really print millions of new bibles just to be more accurate?

  after decades of toughting how much better the nwt was than any other bible?.

  I think it is another attempt to build enthusiasm. I have never been a JW, but from what I have seen the older books, such as the Grand Climax at Hand, actually did have some (misguided) thought behind them, the new books and tracts are merely fluff and drivel, there is no real new information and they are all written to such a remedial level. Also to tack on to what the earlier poster stated, I am sure that they are more than recovering their costs....need to keep the presses and the volunteer labor busy!
