This is from a discussion on a pro-Witness website about the recent court case where a non-JW mother did not want her child indoctrinated by JW grandparents:Yes, lots of things grandparents can do when the parent does not want the child to attend the Kingdom Hall..reading the Bible Story book. Having friends over for a meal, or a get together (especially when there are other children her age), walks in the park talking about Jehovah's creation, singing songs, Sophia and Caleb videos.
And the child can truthfully answer that (s)he did not attend a meeting.
This is the sneaky, conniving, disrespectful mindset of the typical JW. Theocratic warfare indeed!
I would not allow one to walk a dog, let alone spend five minutes unsupervised with a minor. -

If a caregiver was exposing your son to porno movies, would you say:
"I think I'll let it go for now since my son is still an infant."
If a caregiver brought your son to a disease infested crack house, would you say:
"I think I'll let it go for now since my son is still an infant."
If a caregiver allowed your son to be physically or sexually exploited by the crack house addicts, would you say:
"I think I'll let it go for now since my son is still an infant."
These cartoons are spiritual porn designed to addict him. Soon she’ll drag him to the Kingdom Hall crack house where he’ll be surrounded by other druggies with zero future prospects. By the time he can walk, she’ll be pimping him out in field service. Oh, how they love to use babies as human shields at the doors!
You and your husband need to present a united front and put a stop this destructive process NOW. -

Lets start a "Go Fund Me" for those special pioneers being kicked to the curb by the GB,.
by notjustyet inlots of great potential to help those sp that are being sent off without any financial help from the wtbts.
i think that it would be a great way to get some exposure on this topic and how the wtbts thats those that dedicated their lives to the wtbts only to be sent packing at a late age.
then someone can take the funds to one sp couple, possibly, and give it to them in honor of the apostates that know what is really happening.

No. These are the “need greaters” who pat themselves on the back for placing a tract with an impoverished child, never noticing his empty bowl. Most are very skillful in sponging off the more affluent "friends".

Dissenters in Watchtower History: Differing Departures
by slimboyfat ini'm reading an excellent book about defectors from the mormon church called differing visions: dissenters in mormon history.
through a collection of essays from many academic authors it looks at the life stories of dissenters and reasons for departure, as well as analysing the impact of their dissent on the church itself.
fascinating stuff and makes me wish there was a similar volume looking at the key dissenters from jws/watchtower and the impact they had.

WT Society SEC Records : Hedge Funds, Cayman Islands, Financial Losses - Links
by flipper inso my wife and i were curious so i researched some financial links and found records indicating that the wt society has been operating at a loss since the year 2012. as you read the links it shows a loss of 10 million $$$ in 2012, about 16 million $$$ in 2013, and a whopping loss of 56 million $$$ in 2014 - where the expenditures exceeded the revenues for each of those years in the amount i've mentioned.
also there is a link on this same website with the sec records indicating that the wt society and it's representatives funneled 40 million $$$$ into hedge funds in the cayman islands as early as 2007. if you look online on other sites you can see evidence that indicates the wt society attended hedge fund conferences to look into more shadiness in 2011 and isn't it curious that by 2012 the wt society started showing losses.
anyway here is the link : https://www.watchtowerlies.com/the_watchtower_revenue.html .. feel free to check this link out and other links on that link indicating the cayman island connection.

‘We’ve Got to Be Close to the Bottom’ on Energy: Cushing Founder“So much has happened since the end of June and in July — it’s been one of the worst, most volatile months I’ve seen in some time,” said Jerry Swank, managing partner, founder and portfolio manager of Cushing, on its second-quarter call with investors Tuesday.
Crude oil fell 44% in the 12 months ending June 30, while natural gas prices dropped 37%.
This means that the valuations of many master limited partnerships have crashed as well, giving investors a chance to move into the sector.
“This is the most negative sentiment I’ve felt for a long time,” said Swank, who has followed the energy business for 41 years.
Gaining knowledge of the energy industry is a significant step in understanding how to invest in and profit from it.
“Everyone has thrown in the towel. Everyone is so negative, we’ve got to be close to the bottom” of the energy price decline, he added.
