my extended family were all jehovah's witnesses from the bible students day.
my father was immense and chosen as a bodyguard to both judge (spurious title) and nathan knorr.
bethel was very small then so he knew fred franz, covington, henshel well.

i was beyond mad when i heard this.
it is on page 30 of the wt.. it says "a pioneer named roxana is one who has seen how jehovah provides for his people.
when she asked her employer for permission to take some days off to attend one of our conventions, he angrily retorted that if she went, he would fire her.
She was going to quit anyways because that job didn't pay enough just an excuse.Reminds me of those t.v. preachers how one puts Jesus 1st gets rich.All bird shit.

i was at a 2 day circuit assembly this weekend and i was surprised at how many times mention was made directly or indirectly reminding those in attendance (1,600) of the need to give $$$.
even in the soliloquies or skits they seemed to work in the need to give $$$.. it made me wonder if the society is having 'cash flow' problems and hence is desparate for cash.
over the years that i've attended conventions and assemblies the need to give $$$ has been subtle (imo), til now.
Two faced liars.They say we don't pass the collection plates like other religions.We don't fleece the people etc etc.
We pass resolutions for money, we get way more money this way.Why are they selling off good recently reno bldgs in NY and bldging new ones.Just like any realtor it is a way of making big money.
Yes at a recent c.a. any surplus goes to the big ass in NY.I for one could never understand why it costs so much to hold a c.a. in our own hall when it costs less to hold it in a rented facility.
They ask us to donate for the upkeep,we paid for the hall.we hold meetings on sunday which we aready paid for.We paid for the supplies.we paid the utilities.When you consider what they charge for a c.a. it amounts to 75,000 per month or over 800,000 a year.and is higher depends how many attend.In our area in 3 years you can bldg a new hall.

"our viewpoint may be distorted or limited" par 16 "mosaic law-he(god) did not enforce his own law"wtf.. so the gb/fds will tell us their distorted viewpoint.they say law given to imperfect judges who could not read hearts.yet the gb/fds says they can by their pharisaic laws and rules ie child abuse/shunning/etc.. why did god give the mosaic law if they could not read hearts.oh it was ok for the israelites to kill some people for adultery/murder but not david because they could not read his heart.wtf does it matter if he was sorry and repentent were not the others just as sorry and repentent.. b.
If he was one of God's anointed then that rule should apply to all 144k and none need to be replaced.

ok i was raised in the "truth" but no one ever studied with me.
my parents were abusive and i got nothing from them or anyone in the "truth" no bible study any attention nothing from anyone.. i read the great teacher book to myself at the age of seven, and when i was in my mid teens i started studying on my own with no help from anyone nor any answers my questions expect to be rebuked if i asked the wrong question so i quit asking it was god's chosen religion after all who was i to question anything.
i conducted the sort of study and this elder looked at me and said where is your head covering.
So if no balls are around to teach from the platform the meeting is cancelled because females cannot teach.

if one was to take a poll of all the registered users of this board he might be surprised by the number of people who still attend meetings and/or still go door to door.
a contributor to a recent thread, expressing worry that she is on the threshold of being outed, posited that fear is what fills the seats in the kingdom hall.
fear, not love.
You got that right mr.Nick.That is way we don't put any effort to sucker in any new slaves for the two faced Monsters.

do you think you'll grow old and die?
or, do you think your life will be cut short by a worldwide apocalyptic event (put in motion by man or god)?.
disclosure: i'm definitely not apocalyptic and i do not live in expectation of any worldwide event that will cut my life short.. .
Do you think you'll grow old? I don't have to think I'AM OLD.and die that is a given.
