Jehovah's Witness Literature Warning Label
by freemindfade ini just had a thought.
the government should do what they did with the tobacco industry and prescription drug industry and force the watchtower corporation (also mormons and scientologists, etc) to print warnings on its misleading literature and pamphlets.
they can have all their paradise panda petting, fruit eating, khaki pleated pants wearing bullshit propaganda on the front.

The good news is that so far as the borg is concerned i doubt they will be printing much at all in a few years time.And when all the five and ten year old teaching books have been given out their trolleys will be almost empty -

Money....
by The Rebel ini believe all our worst nightmare are believing money will make our life's complete.
i am not talking about money providing life's comforts, but i am mortified that contentment and happiness always requires " more money"..ummm i need a window cleaner, a flashy car and a 50inch t.v screen to be happy.
money...well in my opinion we need money integrity to be happy, but it seems such a waste of life to search for the making of money more than ....well what i mean "hey" most of us have more money than most, and would the making or having more money really make you happier?.

i think its getting the balance right between enjoying your self being caught up in the rat race and never being happy with what you have got.lokking for happyness in money is a dangerous and daft thing to be doing always got to get the new model of somthing and always got to use the credit card for it and of course they cant save up for it -

...the relief of Congregation Members
by Lostandfound injust clearing out all old stuff and came across tyhis line in my copy of the uk memorandum of constitution, passed by each uk cong in (i think) 1997).
this line bemused me as i know of no witness who ever receiver financial help from their congregation.
clause 4.2.4 read for other charitable purposes including the relief of congregation members who are in conditions of need hardship or distress.

Hidden Abuse Under Watchtower
by MicaSmith inthe center for investigative journalism whose website is now called revealnews.org, has an entire section on stories being investigated by their staff and others on how the watchtower is handling child abuse cases.. "the jehovah’s witnesses have systematically instructed leaders to keep child sexual abuse secret from law enforcement and members of their own congregations.
" https://www.revealnews.org/topic/jehovahs-witnesses/.
please share you thoughts on this issue because i really would like to know when the governing body and their lawyers are going to properly address this issue because i can't worship in a place that allows dangerous men in, that's what they accused the catholic church of doing and now here it is that they are caught doing the same thing but have not expressed any concern for the victims.

Mica on another post on this site it will tell you that in the uk the watchtower have been fighting the uk charity commission in since since 2014 to stop the charity commission from have a deeper look at the watchtower records and the watchtower have these past few days taken it up to the uk supreme court to fight the charity commission from having a look at their records.Of course i know to the watchtower the charity commission is "satan" but it does seem that they have a lot to hide.and would explain why they have been making so many cuts these past years.I dont know how much you know so i will tell you.They have closed 16 branch offices around the world,they are moving out of new york and london bethels,they are kicking out 1000s of people who used to work at bethel.And they are not printing about 50 million magazines a month around the world. -

The Modern Exodus: Perception or Reality?
by Hadriel ini'm completely new at this however just in my joining this forum and of course interacting with others i can't help but notice what appears to be a significant exodus from the organization.. for those of you that have long been in this game have you seen this before?
i'm really curious and we should refrain from the sensational, but is what we're seeing different than in years past?.
it sure seems like so so many are waking and leaving.

Why should it have to take the closure or almost closure of either the german or uk branch to make any difference when since jan 2016 they have not been printing 50 million magazines a month saving themselves at least $1 million dollars a month that they could give to the uk or germany to help keep them going So its march 2016 the third month and that means that they SHOULD have $3 million in the bank BUT all they seem to do is have cut after cut after cut ?????
