  things you dont hear: Protest against Jehovah's Witnesses event in central Israel turns violent

  by goingthruthemotions in

  2. experiences

  it funny how the cult will imbelish on somethings and others they just sweep under the rug and you never hear anything about it again.

  i was just doing some searches on the internet and stumbled on this.

  i had heard that the dub's were trying to get people to go to israel and then you never hear anything after that.

  You have a $100,000,000 budget to do a global campaign against the WTBS worldwide. How would you spend it?

  what if by inheritance, winning the lottery or any other way, you suddenly got your hands on $150m after tax.

  you maybe would spend a third of this giving your extended family financial security for life.

  you maybe would buy a boat and a few investment properties.

  I would set up some kind of Trust Fund to assist ex JWs dealing with the affects the many years of psychological abuse or other needs. The fund would also assist (financially) anyone wanting to take legal action against the WTBS for whatever reason.

  Then use social media to make known that this Trust Fund actually exists, this would keep costs down and allow the propagation of these ideas to be more targeted.

  I love it when Brits swear.

  Well I was in the Royal Air Force and based at RAF Brawdy (West Wales) in the 80s, there were also Americans on the base. In the bar on the base we had a swear bottle, so if you were to swear you would have to out something in the bottle. One evening there was an American servicewoman in the bar and asked what it was, so to was explained that if you swear you have to put something in the bottle. She thought it was such a great idea, she put some money in the bottle and started to swear.

  Well, what she though was swearing, she never said a single worn that we (Brits) considered to be a swear word.

  What other Shenanigans can we expect to see in the next 2 years?

  by John Aquila in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  its been a little over 2 years since i left the watchtower.

  in that time the magazines have been cut, the birth of jwtv, jw-org.

  carts for preaching, removed district overseers, cut assemblies, demand all the money from the congregations, stop construction and layoff bethelites, change the format of the tmschool .

  I do not think they will change anything that reduces the total time spent on the JW activities, thats part of keeping control, just keep everybody busy so they have no time to think about anything or research anything. The house to house work stays, even-though it makes no sense.

  i have a confession to make.

  a strange urge is building in my brain... each time i see a jw literature cart on the street it builds.

  it is becoming a stronger and stronger thought in my mind.

  Go up to cart, have a nice chat with the brothers, then offer to buy them a coffee. Go get the coffee and put in some very strong laxative. Then wait and watch them run with the cart.

  knock knock

  by Sabin in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  if jw`s come knocking at your door, do you open it & engage in conversation, tell them to sod off, or just not answer the door?.

  my husband`s has asked me not to answer the door to them if he isn't here?

  he hate`s the fact that they make a point of calling when they know he will be at work.

  What I have decided to do, is just ask them to wait, and wait, and wait, and wait ......, but never actually get back to them, leave the door ajar, to keep them in expectation of my return, keeps them from pestering others for a short while.
  

  After all this organization wasted a lot of my time.

  Does anybody know if the WTS, invests in the 2 companys of Lockheed Martin & Grumman Northrop, which are 2 of the biggest weapons suppliers?

  by Dunedain in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i read in another thread, where it said that the wts, has investments from stocks, with the companys of lockheed martin and grumman northrop.

  these are some of the biggest weapons suppliers to the us,uk, and israel.

  i would think it would be very hypocritical for a christian organisation, that claims to be nuetral, and to "learn war no more", to invest money in companys that produce weapons, that are used in wars.. is this true, though?

  Candace Conti

  by Pubsinger in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  so we know that wt settled out of court for an undisclosed sum and that presumably there was a 'gagging order' attached to the settlement.. not having really thought about what a 'confidentiality clause' meant before, i assumed in the past that it meant that you weren't allowed to disclose the amount of the settlement or any details about it.

  but from the total and absolute silence once the settlement was made, i can only assume that it is a total gagging order.. how can the courts allow such a restriction to be put on a victim?

  protecting the abusers and allowing the institution to cover up the lengths they go to to avoid admitting their guilt?

  To be honest I am very thankful to Candace, this case made me sit back and think, "Wo, whats going on here". This was one of the factors that made me wake up.

  I hope she has peace now in her life now.
