when the wt sells property for a billion dollars profit, who decides what that money is going to be used for?.
when all the money comes in from all the kingdom halls bank accounts worldwide, did all that money go into one big account and who has authority to spend it and cut some checks to whoever?
when all the monthly donations come in to the watchtower headquarters, who decides distribution, and to who?
But in the broadcast last month, Lett assured everyone that the GB was more careful with WT assets than with their own money.
Hmmm, if that were the case, wouldn't they be that much more eager to open the books and show everyone where the money is coming from and going? We can only conclude that they aren't really that careful.
now you can see the full short movie online.
storyline: its sunday, and pablo, 8 years old, has an invitation to a very special but also forbidden birthday party.
its sunday, and for the first time, pablo is going on a door-to-door preaching with his mother.
i am not sure if this guy is really from bethel, or walkill, but if he is....this poor guy really tells it like it is from the heart.
he was surprised.. at the 'oh so fast, pack your bags, get your stuff outta here' layoff !.

I used to think that bethel was a wonderful place. I was deceived. Now that I'm out and getting on with my life, I see it as a hell hole that I wish I had never, ever set eye on.
My story is different, but plenty in his account that I can relate to. I'll tell more, someday.
I still sometimes have nightmares where I'm in bethel. I'm so very happy when I wake up and realize that the nightmare is over. I have a degree. I have the freedom that comes with earning a good income and no more bondage to the cult.
from 2 samuel 24. i am so mad at myself for not making a comment how could anyone explain this away?
then after he slaughters 70,000 he then feels regret?
How do believers explain this slaughter?
I'd looked up what little WT had to say about this and other accounts of the slaughter of innocents a long time ago, about the only statement I recall is that these people had no special right to life--it was as if WT was justifying it by saying, "people die all the time, so this is no big deal that he would slaughter thousands of his own chosen nation."
And although it was supposedly wrong in this account to conduct a census, there was no specifically stated law against it. There are plenty of times in the bible that the populations are mentioned. This all just sounds like an excuse for the angry desert sky-daddy to go on a random murderous rampage against his own worshipers. Nice.
heard a lot buzz for our upcoming convention.
those that already been were saying how great it was and all the videos that were presented.. well, thus far not impressed!
in fact many times pure insanity!
There is now an official "make-up department" for regional conventions.
ToMo3 is ready to give his closing talk:
found this article taking each point made in the creator book and demolishing them with reason and logic.
.
good resource: http://evolutionwiki.org/wiki/is_there_a_creator_who_cares_about_you%3f.
I always read that title as two questions...
Is There a Creator? --
-- Who Cares About You?
well another big bad elder here just wanting to say sorry.. i'm sorry that so many were treated like crap, and shown that god's love is not to be found around jehovah's witnesses.
i'm sorry that inadvertently i've likely taught many to judge and as such see that racism permeates every corner of the jw world, else why else would someone be of the world, or even inactive.
i'm sorry i sat in on a jc, and voted to df.
its been mentioned before that warwick is a toxic dump and now the jw's are suing a former owner for compensation.
well this is huge on so many levels.
one they new it was contaminated back a few years ago so why move your headquarters there?
Contaminated soil? They should pray about the matter, rely on Jehovah, and leave it in His capable hands to purify the land!
Nah. Instead the GB is going to look for help from Satan's world, the demonic governments, corrupt legal agents of this evil system, and materialistic corporations to correct this matter.
I think this is a valuable precedent for where the GB has placed their confidence--Rely on Jehovah and nothing will get done. Rely on Satan and His system, and get ready for re$ult$!
at the regional they said they need brothers like crazy, but sisters are giveing out the literature and sisters are handling contranution boxes but yet they say brothers are lazy shiftless following at distance can someone explain this.

And the beatings will continue until morale improves.
well, once again my "friend" has shared their notes with me from the latest co visit.

number one won't surprise you.
world getting worse all the time/ OUR DAY is the worst of all time
More people are dying from the complications of obesity today than at any time throughout history... just like the bible predicted!
