I want a refund . . .

by cruzanheart in

after reading all those threads and articles about how much money the wtbts has squirreled away and invested and after volunteering to serve birthday cupcakes and punch at a homeless shelter run by the combined efforts of first presbyterian church and first methodist in downtown dallas, i have decided that i want my money back.. i want back every single cent that i ever contributed to that jabba the hut of an organization that just sits on its money and never uses a penny of it to benefit its members or the rest of humanity.

i want back the $10,000 that my dad "loaned" the society in the 1970's that they -- 10 years later -- strongly suggested he just give to them to save them the trouble of writing a check.. i want to be paid for the 13 years of regular pioneer service that i wasted on that organization.

let's see, at roughly 100 hours a month (that's what the requirement was back then), 1200 hours a year times 13 + 15,600. hmmm, okay, i'll take minimum wage for it -- isn't that $6.50 an hour now?

The reason they are a bit poor in record keeping is they are in prime ski country and skiing is much more fun that being an accountant

Yes those damn bastard indeed

quote

Rand Cam Engine Corp. is a privately held company whose stock is reportedly
owned 50% by The Watchtower Society, a religious organization, 34% by James
McCann and the balance by several other shareholders. Mr. McCann has indicated
that he donated the shares held by The Watchtower Society to that organization
but has retained a voting proxy for those shares. Accordingly, in Notes (3) and
(4) above, beneficial ownership of the 5,073,200 shares registered in the name
of Rand Energy Group Inc. has been attributed to The Watchtower Society and Mr.
McCann. We believe it would be misleading and not provide clear disclosure to
list as beneficial owners in the table the other entities and persons discussed
in this paragraph, although a strict reading of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 might require each such entity and person to be listed in
the beneficial ownership table.

god has a special reservation for the gb. It's called "the lake that burns with fire and sulphure"

I hear the rates are pretty low these days on that travel plan since it is a one way ticket

So now gb, be real big men and fuss up now!! reply to this thread if this is all wrong . stick up for yourself at least. If we don't hear from you, then this is all true.

You will not be apostates for replying to this thread as jehoba has granted clemency (what the hell ever that is)

I just tried to send this post and the computer ate it, then spit it out, then changed the font size then lost the homepage - JEEZ!! I'll try again (mind over matter)

It is not suprising that the WTS has alot of wealth. They make some of their money from realestate transactions and the estates that dead jdubs give to them. Think they will ever start a soop kitchen for the homeless or start paying labour for the 2 day kingdom hall projects?? not a chance!!

I wish Newyork would start charging the WTS property tax so they'd move or just close shop.

Who are you, so wise in the ways of science?

Tell me , bethel must have a library does it not. I've heard that The WTS discourages a university career. They are a bit reluctant to promote that anyone in bethel should study like mad to get into university Now I'm wondering the percentage of the kind of books in the bethel library. Please respond with percentages for the following books.

% WTS literature

% books pertaining to the infrastructure of bethel (printing presses etc)

% easy reading book (swiss family robinson etc)

% university grade books (physics, math, chemistry, biology etc)

When did the governing body start ruling

by hijack in

i have started my own research as to what day the gb took power and here is what i found.

http://www.nucleus.com/~faxdir/jwrumble.html.

and then this site http://gwest59.tripod.com/christislord/id46.html says that the gb did the following adjustment.

This is something I got from http://www.bible-researcher.com/new-world.html quote "In his book Crisis of Conscience Raymond Franz, a former member of the Governing Body of the Jehovah's Witnesses, describes some interesting conversations that he had with the principal translator of the version, who happened to be his uncle. He recounts that between 1965 and 1971, while engaged in preparing a Bible dictionary (published in 1971 under the title Aid to Bible Understanding), he sought guidance on a number of questions from Frederick Franz, who "was acknowledged as the organization's principal Bible scholar." We reproduce below several paragraphs from Crisis of Conscience (pages 21-24) for the light they shed upon the New World Translation and one of its translators, and also for the wise observations of the author concerning the interpretation of the Bible." end quote Oh..... so I understand now, this bible dictionary IS the "aid to bible understanding. Now Ray Franz was D'fed on Dec 31 1981 so the aid to bible understanding book was used from 1971 to 1981 a total of ten years. Just think of that!! the jdubs used the aid to bible understanding book in the door to door work apparently under angelic direction that was written by Ray Franz who was about to become apostate( That is a harsh term for Ray, he really got fed up with the whole show I think ) Terry you say that the aid to bible understanding book is banished forever. What replaced it. Was it indeed yanked by the WTS.? Has the WTS recommended that jdubs not use the aid to bible understanding in the door to door work? Another thing bugs me. Did the WTS announce publicly at the kingdom halls the d"ing of Ray Franz or was it all hush hush??.
