  Field service national average - what do you think it is now?

  it’s always been 10 hours when door to door was active.

  i’m curious of how it’s changed with only letter writing and phone witnessing approved.. i’m curious if they are able to do it for 3 hours like a typical door to door morning.

  i would be surprised.

  But what about the bragging rights about how many hours one puts in and how many placements.

  Its an easy guess that publishers hours are down due to the Covid -19 problem.
  

  Nevertheless JWS will bullshit their hours as they usually do.

  archie bunker from all in the family was considered by many as a racist.

  there are still many people who think and act like him.

  of course, in today’s world, there are many extremes.

  Certainly yes in comparison to the mid 20th century and before.

  There has been progression but there is still a segmented amount to be found from region to region..

  War is a Racket, by Smedley D Butler, 1935

  by dropoffyourkeylee in

  i have just become aware of a book, published in the us in 1935, called 'war is a racket', by smedley d butler, a former marine major general who was very critical of the us involvement in ww1.

  since it was apparently a popular book at the time, and butler was a prominent figure, i am wondering if rutherford's adoption of the slogan 'religion is a snare and a racket' may have been borrowed from butler.. if so, it wouldn't be the first time rutherford drew upon familiar terms of the 20's and 30's to create slogans or wt articles..

  Religion is a Snare and a Racket

  No truer statement to make after reviewing and analyzing the activity of the WTS/JWS religion.

  The JWS religion came out to be a organized act of corrupt charlatanism, J Rutherford was a pivotal figure in this Racket.

  One thing you can see of the JWS organization is that men can openly build a framework of power around themselves just by saying we are the chosen ones (FDSL) in god's eyes or in other words are bible interpretations are correct, other men's bible interpretations from other organizations are not.
  

  The Blood issue with the JWS has cost the lives of thousands, from babies to the elderly.

  How have Jehovah`s Witnesses ever gotten away with being a Tax Exempt Religion ?

  i can never get my head around this one ?

  don`t the powers that be ever really investigate religions that claim exemption from paying taxes because they claim they are a not for profit religion ?.

  you would have to be a brain dead imbecile not to see that the religion known as the" watchtower bible and tract society" otherwise known as "jehovah`s witnesses" are nothing more than a religious publishing house that have made x amount of $$$$$ over the years since their inception in the late 1800`s to this day.

  How ironic it is for an organization that feeds bullshit to people through the literature it publishes to pull in money and get tax exempt status.
  

  It some ways the (Worldly) American government let this happen through its high protection and support of religious institutions.

  Liberty and freedom for all I guess

  There has been a lot so called self identifying religious organizations based in the US that were really businesses hiding behind a nonprofit tax exempt religion.

  What makes the WTS/JWS stand out is that all the money it accumulates does not go out to help in local communities as in charities to help the disadvantaged.

  This religious Publishing house is one that really was a business that exploited people's belief in the bible, the leaders interpretations of the bible and to push a tainted commercialized version of the Gospel of Jesus.

  Exploiting tax exempt status by the WTS's leaders goes as far back as the early 1900's with the likes of J Rutherford. He intentionally deeded the property of a luxury home which he lived in San Diego as a relgoius compound to exempt from paying any local property taxes. He used the money of the WTS to live a luxury lifestyle, helped no doubt by the tax exempt "Religious" organization he ran the WTS./JWS.

  Do as we SAY, but not as we DO!

  "it's easier to fool people than it is to convince them that they've been fooled.

  it's not just jw's who blindly follow their leaders.

  it's horrifying to see how easily mass-hysteria has been instilled in a nation.

  The ransom makes no sense

  by BourneIdentity in

  2. beliefs

  if mankind needed to be redeemed from sin and death, why didn't the redemption happen as soon as jesus successfully lived his entire life without sin and sacrificed his life?

  if he was successful, the price was paid and we'd all be living forever.

  it's all bullshit, or jesus fucked up and sinned, so it nullified his sacrifice.

  All religions formulated from spiritualism have been imaginary illusions based from human ignorance from the people who created them, including Christianity which morphed from ancient Hebrew practices..

  If that is so, is it surprising when they are logically analyzed they make irrational sense ?
