Is the WTBTS having cash flow problems?

by JW GoneBad in

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.

As a woman in the truth what went through your head when you realized that us sister had to cover our heads?

by life is to short in

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.

Shackled to the Watchtower: A distinction every Jehovah's Witness should acknowledge

by Nickolas in

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.

bobld

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.. .

bobld

Do you think you'll grow old? I don't have to think I'AM OLD.and die that is a given.

Are they really that bad???

by anonymous4 in

had a good look into the doctrine, beliefs and practices of jws and to be honest, i don't really see anything wrong with it at all.. it's biblical and i've had such an eye opener the past year or so reading some of their books and magazines .

is there really any real reasons why i shouldn't want to get involved further?

:-).

bobld

YES THEY ARE.Why do you ask? Are you studying with them?If you are, asked them what will happened to you if you disagree with them after you are baptised.

Yet the narrow-minded Jehovah's Witnesses will deny this because the GB/FDS says so. When the Jehovah's Wintnesses hear on the news anything about the Roman Catholic church you never hear the end of it they go on and on how the R.C. covers it up moves priests around etc,etc.I believe there was something about the Angelican church oh yah the J.W. will be on it like flies on cow dung.What can you expect from simple minded J.W.

besides the usual drivel there were a couple interesting things.

1. an entire 1 hour discourse on helping our children become little innocent martyrs for the wt via.

their flawed and unreasonable blood doctrine.

Those clowns running the show and the jokers that follow.How can an elder get on the platform who has a big house good education and job.Goes an vacations say to the people sell your house quit your job go pioneer.The end is so close the end is near.They said this same shit for 100 years.Why should I listen to such nonsense.What quit my job and work when Iam 70 years old with a bad back poor heath just to put food on the table.They want todays kids doing the same thing.Look the end is not here or near never was and will not be here.So what if it comes tomorrow I will not slave for some peanut heads in NY.
