  Take the Money and...Run!

  by journey-on in

  is it feasible that with the watch tower corporation owning all or most of the assets of the organization, including kingdom halls and their property, they could just take the money and run?

  .

  since dividing into multiple corporations, and the wts separating from the christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses, do you think this could happen?.

  they are a non profit corporation . us law would get involved . there are very specific restrictions on the disposal of assets once a non profit is disolved.

  Shock! Vampire Governing Body members drink blood of Bethelites to stay young!

  by Witness 007 in

  1. watchtower

  at least three governing body members {john barr ted jaracz and anonomus} drink the blood of new bethel volunteer virgins to steal their "life force" {blood is life} or "mojo"......this would explain why these members don't die and live to be over 100 years old.....the witness ban on blood transfusions is a greedy ploy to save more blood for themselves to bathe in...they never leave bethel during daylight hours...they ban crosses and holy water, hello people vampires!

  garlic is not allowed to be served at bethel meals so brothers don't have bad breath....yeah right, vampires!

  vampires, vampires!!!!.

  by oompa in

  2. beliefs

  back in the 70's wt had this thingy going on where they thought the figurative heart may indeed be the literal heart....like it had cells in it that affected your thinking....esp on things of emotion...(i swear i am not makin this sheeite up)...i went to a district convention back then that had two six foot, thin paper boxes on stage, with lights inside.....on the outside of each box was a painting of a brain and a heart.......and when the person offstage was talking.....one of the boxes would light up.......like sometimes it was the brain talking.......sometimes it was the heart talking............but most of the time since i was a teen and the chicks were hot......my dick did all the talkin.............oompa.

  sorry got off topic at the end....but anyone remember that dc or material?.

  I was a teenager and the absalute control that the wtbs insisted on was what finally did it for me. Because of familly reasons I had to stay a jw till i was older , however I knew that they where not gods organazation. It was not untill I was an adult (in my 20's) that I learned about all the flip flops. The faulty science that they presented also bothered me.

  I remember the claim that emotions originated in the heart oompa. Even as a teenager this made no sense to me. Stuff like this eventually led to me examining watchtower beliefs and concluding the WTBS was full of BS

  Do you remember the claim that transfused blood did not carry oxegen for 24 hrs. More watch tower BS

  are you sure that she can have an abortion if her life is in danger? I don't think you are correct unless this is "new light"

  Fatal Inheritance: Mormon Eugenics

  by cameo-d in

  the divine experiment.

  d. michael quinn, former brigham young university professor, states the mormon practice of polygamy enabled men to marry daughters, nieces, cousins, granddaughters and former wives of other general authorities.. .

  these groups are white supremacists, and inbreeding is an essential doctrine in keeping the bloodline pure.
