there is no end to their madness.
the co gave a talk on inspired error.
i have never heard of it.
So, then our recent CO was full of inspired error. Because he told the congregation (mainly oldtimers, the grey scourge they call it here in Holland), that paradise is for us only reachable by underground.
And with underground he told us, he was meaning the grave.
So, this CO was inspired wrong and maybe ahead of Jehovah's heavenly wagon.

"the governing body thanks you so much for the 16 percent increase of donations in june and july.
you know, the israelites had one project, we have thousands!
so, these are not a two month project!.
"The Governing Body thanks you so much for the 16 percent increase of donations in June and July. You know, the Israelites had one project, we have thousands! So, these are not a two month project!
As the South Africans say: "Gaan dit 'n bietjie , broer Lett ?"
the 2016 january tv.jw.org broadcasting has a clear message: jw.org needs more money!.
the 2 months of donation increase is not enough: the thousands of projects are not a 2 month project.. so: thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you (heh heh heh) and send us more!
personal conclusion: if i had any doubts that the society is sincere, this openly money grabbing has made my perception complete.

of course, no one could ever fully replace "our oracle for over 50 years" (ray franz quoting karl klein or someone else on the gb back in the days of gb i in cofc somewhere ), but i have to wonder just who on gb ii has come to fill fred franz's shoes the most.
it seems like it is david splane.
he appears to be in charge of the writing department, proposes and pushes thru the gb most of the doctrinal changes (he announces them so they're his baby), and like ff, fancies himself musically inclined.
Amen. Splane sounds like he invented their fables itself.
The invention to put FF on the generation timeline is so humorous. And shameless also.
I watched Splane directing the AM choir and new that this man is thinking he is God sent.

just a note that 10 years ago, (christmas day, 2005), was my last time inside a kh.
a lot has taken place for the better in those 10 years:.
1. met the love of my life and happily married for 9 years, two days ago.. 2. completed a master's degree.. 3. work at senior management level in the it field.. 4. have a savings and retirement, and no debt outside of a mortgage and 1 car loan.. 5. lots of travel to several places that i never would have done as a jw.. 6. contribute to what i believe are meaningful causes.. 7. read, think, and meditate for myself.. 8. have a great extended family i inherited from my wife.. 9. lots of other great stuff, too much to list.. none of this is intended to be boastful.
Great! You are blessed! I did something like you. Management / Auditor / Advisor, a lot more I ever could dream of, with my lovely wife and children. The KH is no guarantee for a successful life!

it is still strange, that an organization, lead by a group of old timers, is gaining billions at the moment, without giving any transparency and accountancy feedback, because these men "trust each other", and come away with that.. they got the property investment by the use of cohi associates, and deposit their liquid assets at the caymans.. it is clear: the real power behind the jw.org facade is securing his future.. don't get me wrong, i'm not insane, but more and more i got this strong gut feeling that some governmental organization has the real power.. gorby.

@ The Searcher, nice to hear i'm not the only one on this planet thinking this way.
I remember when I was a teenager, I became suspicious about government - jw.org connections.
For example, when the C.O. told us during his visit in +/- 1990 "Secretary of State, James Baker went of the airplane in an African country with much repression. The first thing he asked the local president was "So, you persecute Jehovah's Witnesses? We urge you to stop this immediately".
When I heard this my reaction was different then the rank and file JW, and considered there was a strong lobby from jw.org to the US government, or there was the option that the C.O. was speaking nonsense.
At this point in my life, I am thinking more and more that jw.org is one of the American organizations used by the American government for the implementation of their global U.S. interest.

They got the property investment by the use of CoHi Associates, and deposit their liquid assets at the Caymans.
It is clear: the real power behind the jw.org facade is securing his future.
Don't get me wrong, i'm not insane, but more and more I got this strong gut feeling that some governmental organization has the real power.

i just received this letter from a former bethel worker who saw my post on the dumbo property plans of the watchtower.
don't tell me they aren't doing this dumbo project just the same as the margaret hotel and who knows how many others?
letter dated 12/18/03 from anonymous .
Great to read in these cashing times.
I doubt the revenue is going to COHI Associates now...
