  i have recently joined the site.

  i was just appointed an elder this summer.

  i started discovering the ttatt (the truth about the truth) last year after putting a few things together myself concerning the leadership and then doing some research online.. i really enjoyed jwfacts.com, jwsurvey, and others.

  absolutely weird.

  minding my own business while pumping gas - this 60 year old short jw lady with fluffed bun styled 60's hair and her 30 year old attractive 5 ' 10 inch jw lady partner came straight up to me as i'm pumping.

  they picked the wrong hombre .

  Has anyone been infected by the FBI Moneypak virus?

  by keyser soze in

  it happened to me a few weeks ago.

  my laptop locked up and i got a message, supposedly from the fbi cybercrimes division, saying that there was a criminal investigation being launched against me for one or multiple infringements.

  and being the tech savvy guy that i am, i thought it was real, and started freaking out.

  had it twice from a UK police constabulary demanding £100 from a Pay Point voucher to unlock it, fortunately my other user was unaffected and done a quick scan to remove it.

  Ray Franz blamed for 1975 false prophecy

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was raised a jw and as a kid my family made brief mention of apostates in bethel that falsely prophecied about 1975 and were kicked out of bethel.

  i was shocked after i got out and learned that him being removed had absolutely nothing to do with 1975. i think that partial lie spread is what kept my relatives in.

  1975 a big let down/false prophecy, then they are told that a governing body member and many in bethel are found apostate and cleaned out, etc.

  The Two Governing Bodies

  by Londo111 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i remember when a gb member spoke at a circuit assembly, how the society would not pick him up for the airport unless he was dressed in a suit.

  i found it a strange thing to say, because i believed him in charge.

  but he was not.. of course, this is common knowledge, but im mostly typing this to make sense of it:.

  WATCHTOWER BUILDING PROJECTS REVEAL HYPOCRISY ABOUT STRESSING URGENCY OF PREACHING WORK

  by steve2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  based on a letter elders in the united states have just received in the past week from the governing body, work on the warwick complex will take " a few years" to complete.

  concurrent with this, the organization urges the rank and file to urgently preach the "good news of the kingdom" because we are so deep into the end.

  so, why bother with the warwick project - or indeed the just advised project in the united kingdom to relocate the london bethel?

  Is The WTS Building Beth Sarim 2 ?

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i continue to puzzle over the future direction the watchtower is taking.

  it seems very strange.. let's review: they are selling everything off in brooklyn, raking in huge sums from that real estate and building heavily in a fairly isolated part of upstate ny.. why?.

  it may be classified as a country club (legally).

  interesting theories and this thread is saved, the secret money men who really control the WTS are the hasidic Jewish groups and the faceless other groups that that control the Legal Dept of the WTS will make an absolute fortune in the coming years in the profit that will be made to the developers of the real estate that has been sold.
