i received an email from one of the elder in the local congregation.

i am not dfed so there is not a problem there, i am just an aggressive fader.. one of the last things i said to this elder before i stopped all activities was that i do not agree with the borg taking all the assets from the congregations.. here is what the elder said in the email:.

"i recently saw something while looking through the jw broadcasting for the month of may and i though about you.

Are Jehovah`s Witnesses a CULT?

steven hassen is a well known name for many, if you do not know him google can help.

this information is certainly not new, but as almost every exjw has deep affection and concern for active jws it is certainly my wish and i hope the wish of other exjws that any active jw considers this information.

this information cannot be deemed as apostate, it is just stating the opinion of someone who has spent much of his adult life in helping people to realize what a cult is.

Contributions, lets do a survey.

there is a lot of talk on how much the organization has and how much they receive in contributions.

now with the latest begging video from lett, maybe we as an ex jw community, try to figure this out together.. this is just an idea and i want to get other opinions on this.. if enough members who actually know the figures from their (last) kh for the building fund and other contributions are willing to enter this information on a website, we can use these figures to estimate the actual amount the organization is receiving from the publishers.. the figure will never be accurate, but i think it would be fun..

in 2013 the organization declared that the "faithful and discreet slave" consisted only of the seven member of the gb.
Earthquake in Nepal

in the 2104 yearbook the organization reported there were 2004 average publishers in 34 congregations.

although the organization has made a very short announcement on their website concerning this, it will be interesting to see to what extent their "relief efforts" amount to.. lets remember that nepal is one of the poorest countries in the world and need every bit of help they can get.

just being concerned about the houses and the local office of jws in nepal is hardly showing christian love..
