  Convention Videos: Someone messed up royally

  by ILoveTTATT2 in

  .

  when i first saw the video, i was like, "wait... is that her... panties showing through the dress"?and it seems like it is so.turns out that if you look at the middle right of the video, there are some letters.

  it reads, "footage provided by pond5".if someone wants to purchase that video to confirm, you can purchase it here:http://depositphotos.com/63621499/stock-video-violinist-girl-walking-through-a.htmli think that this was a royal mess up because i doubt they would put footage of a sister in a skimpy, revealing dress.doesn't the gb approve this?this will probably go down as another of the "subliminal images"...if there are thongs in paradise... might not be so bad after all!.

  why is this the first time i have come across this?

  my husband showed me a video about how the jws invest in stock like cinemax, disney, companies producing war weapons, alcohol and much much more.

  if this is true, there are tax records to show for it right?

  Where does WT get their money?

  by Dreamerdude in

  1. watchtower

  i assume they get most of it from cash donations and assets left in wills.

  there may also be some income from invested assets.

  i guess they get a lot of money from old jws who die childless or with only df'd kids.geographically i assume they get it mostly from a few countries that have many publishers and strong economies.

  Making money form donations is one thing. But something that really is disgusting is making money from shares in companies that manufacture and sell weapons, that is so hypocritical. And the dubs are not aware of that.

  I feel the same way to some extent.

  Being a JW I missed out on a lot, and I wish I could go back to the eighties and live those years again until now. Whatever happened in the world was all part of the sign, and not really important, the real life was to come. And that is how I lived, never really concerned myself with what was happening in the world, politically wise, and technologically wise. Now I am struggling to make up the time lost and hopefully will be able to retire with a reasonable pension. Have 10 years to do that.

  Be ready to obey!!

  from paragraph 17-. at that time, the life-saving direction that we receive from jehovah’s organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint.

  all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.. i think i know what the instructions will be.it's nothing new.

  Actually, keeping the publishers busy is the important thing for the leadership. If they are busy pursuing ineffective dumb tasks, there is less time for searching the internet and perhaps learning the ttatt. That is what cults do, it is all part of the mind control.

  Heil Trump. Sieg Heil.

  crowd looking like they're doing the heil hitler salute to trump when he asks for a pledge and swear their support while calling for broadening torture laws.

  trump asks backers to swear their support, vows to broaden torture laws.

  Well, we live in Germany and my daughter who is 15 is really afraid that Donald Trump will become the next US president.

  As she said this morning "He is like Adolf Hitler".

  Now that is saying something about Trump's reputation if a 15 year old in Germany says such a thing.

  ( jw governing body members are invited to respond) .

  however professional and glossy their pr makeover is, as seen on jw tv and the jw org logo... the bottom line is that 19th century religious adventist claims are no longer sexy..

  to outsiders the jw org now has all the allure of a donkey wearing lipstick..

  If SBF was playing "devils advocate", then I apologize, it just was not that obvious.

  Only JWs proclaim all these truths around the world.

  Again something that is not true, the Watchtower propaganda has JWs believing that they are preaching in all the earth, this is a preposterous lie, like many others from the Watchtower.
