  What's in it for them? (GB)

  if the wbts is just another business?

  then what do the gb get out of all this?.

  tim cook (ceo apple) makes around 378 million a year.. donald trump makes around 60 million a year.. i understand the wbts may have vast property holdings, stocks, bonds, and revenue from donations.. but i can't grasp the incentive for the gb to make this stuff up.

  Power.....it's not money.

  The organization is worth billions but the GB gets a small salary, of course as discussed they are treated like kings and literally worshipped

  by the common JW.

  We can compare them to the Pope in Rome....is not rich but he's worshipped by millions.

  These are individuals that most likely used to believe that it was the "truth' and only true religion, like all of us at one time, but now that they are on top and have become "kings " in the organization, i truly believe they know that it's all bullshit and that so called jehovah has nothing to do with them.

  They never see God, they never hear from him, they receive no dreams or special revelation and yet they have to continue playing the game and claim

  that it's God's Organization.

  The fact that they have to change and modify their doctrines proves they are all idiots and don't know their left from their right.

  If the big change at the AGM meeting is dropping the literal 144,000...

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the best conjecture seems to be that the gb are going to drop the literal 144,000 teaching, especially in view of the december watchtower that pointedly does not mention the 144,000 number.

  if they are dropping the literal 144,000 number, but still claim that only a small number are anointed, and can partake, and that only a few are left on earth, then it is fair to ask what has really changed?

  they are simply clearing up the embarrassing situation that there were obviously more than 144,000 "anointed" believers from 36 ad until now, and that the number of partakers has been increasing in recent years.

  Whether they will drop the doctrine don't know but in my opinion it's the dumbest doctrine that they have and come up with.

  Taken from Revelation which is a book of "symbols and signs".

  As i preached for 32 years door to door, that's one doctrine i tried to avoid discussing with people.

  Another Witness Goes on about Syria and the Big "A"

  by Wasanelder Once in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  was speaking with a jw about an issue of mutual interest and he went on about how close we are to the end and "we just dont know how this syria situation may turn the un against religion".

  gimme a break.

  but this time, first ever, there was despair in his voice as if he didn't believe it any longer.

  Same old story...every negative situation a JW sees " Armaggedon is here ".

  Life is much better now than any other time in history.

  It's their job to complain about everything going on in the world.

  US DIPLOMATIC CABLES RELATING TO JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES

  by jwleaks in

  us diplomatic cables relating to jehovah's witnesses and the watch tower society.

  jw leaks has commenced publishing us diplomatic cables relating to jehovahs witnesses and the watch tower society.. the first series of diplomatic cables deals with the years 1973 1976 and provides a unique insight into the role the us government played in assisting the watch tower society around the world during the turbulent mid-1970s.. these diplomatic cables deal with the treatment of jehovahs witnesses in malawi, the banning of the watch tower society in kenya and argentina, arrests of jehovahs witness missionaries and members around the world (incl.

  turkey, spain, greece, kenya, mozambique), the us governments diplomatic political assistance in trying to get grant suiter and milton henschel into south africa for a visit, and the seizing of watch tower society property in various countries.. when taken together the cables show the degree of reliance the watch tower society has placed in the us department of state and various us embassies to secure the presence of the corporation in africa, asia, and south america.. these diplomatic cables will especially assist those who are researching the history of jehovahs witnesses in africa, asia, south america, turkey, greece, and spain.. .

  They are not guided by holy spirit but 3 or more imperfect individuals that blindly follow instructions from a book received from the GB.

  That;s their " BIBLE "

  Before they meet with someone for a JC they are advised to read a few chapters from the book and try not to deviate from it as they follow instruction

  NO HOLY SPIRIT INVOLVED
