  Missionaries to vacate all missionary homes

  latest news from a source (missionary in foreign land):.

  no more missionary homes anywhere in the world.. all missionaries presently in missionary homes must vacate.

  must get housing on your own / from the locals.. circuit and district overseers have moved into many of these former missionary homes.. reasons: liability, cost savings, real estate to be sold or used for other purposes.. needless to say, many of these longtime servants are very unsettled.

  yes they do have a serious cash flow problem since they stopped charging for the literature. many jws contribute very little or nothing due to lack of cash.I was told that they are aware of who is contributing and who is not. ( heard this at a SM once or twice. ) So big brother will get you if you don't contribute the suggested amount.

  jw leaks has published court documents relating to the million dollar financial fraud involving rodney hatfield and the watsonville congregation of jehovah's witnesses in california, usa.. these court documents include the sealed 2009 indictment, rodney hatfield's plea bargain dated january 30, 2013, and the criminal minutes sentencing order summary dated september 16, 2013. hatfield was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison in connection with his role in a conspiracy to commit wire fraud.. in pleading guilty on january 30, 2013, hatfield admitted that he conspired with his co-defendant to obtain money from investors by means of materially false representations about the value of their investment accounts.

  hatfield admitted that he defrauded members of his own jehovahs witnesses congregation in watsonville, california.

  as part of the conspiracy, he solicited millions of dollars in investment money from his fellow congregants and others to invest in landmark trading company, llc (landmark), a company he and his co-defendant had set up as a holding company for the purpose of trading in foreign currency exchange.. initially, landmark did engage in some legitimate currency trades on behalf of its investors; however, the company quickly began to run a negative return on its trading activity.

  I looked up Joel ward and he brazenly asked the judge to be allowed to remain out of prison so he could pay back the folks he defrauded. apparently 53 or about 90 people were OK with it. Judge said "NO'. Next to immorality , fraud / theft is a big problem in the org. Of course it is a problem everywhere but you have so little recourse with jws. Never do business with jws.

  this is too important to bury within an old thread.

  that thread hashed over several items of interest which you may want to read by way of a refresher: .

  is gail bethea-jackson truly a doctor as the watchtower site claims?

  Please Hear My Confession, I lied to all my friends in the Kingdom Hall! Forgiveness needed!

  by AuntConnie in

  2. beliefs

  i ask for the forgiveness of all the brothers and sisters who heard me lie and lie and lie about how my husband lost all his weight!

  please make room in your heart to forgive me, it's rare i will open up myself to the scrutiny of jehovah's witnesses net message board, i try not to reveal too many things about my life.

  i come from a fleshly family that is screwed up, we learned from youth how to use theocratic warfare even with other jehovah's witnesses asking innocent questions.

  New Awake magazine goes after the media

  here is a link to the pdf.... http://www.jw.org/download/?issue=201312&output=html&pub=g&fileformat=pdf&alllangs=0&langwritten=e&txtcmslang=e&isbible=0.

  some interesting quotes.... while it is wise not to believe everything we read in the news, it does not follow that there is nothing we can trust.

  the key may be to have a healthy skepticism, while keeping an open mind.tone: when the tone of a news item is angry, spiteful, or highly critical, it suggests that an attack is under way and not a reasoned argument.sources: is there evidence of thorough research?

  watchin the season premier of south park, something i don't normally do but just happened to catch and glad i did.

  they totally had two jw women go to one of the characters "butters" house and gave him a magazine about some sort of destruction scene that was on the cover representing armageddon.

  yet again showing that the ancient pagen name of hovah they worship really does live up to the name defined as ruin according to strongs 1943. wife and i laughed our butts off... even the world knows how the "wbtsociety" is so fear focused on destruction rather than the real love that our savior said should be our true walk and focus... .
