  Watchtower is Run Like the Mafia

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  anybody else notice this?

  the have a syndicate (governing body) regional bosses (district overseers), captians (circuit overseers), and elders are their "made men" that enforce policy at street level.

  if you run your mouth too much, they wipe out your whole family (disfellowshipping).

  Exercise Patience Regional Convention

  by Rattigan350 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the theme of the in person convention this year is "exercise patience".

  looking at the convention map, they are really using their assembly halls and they are using smaller civic centers or city arena.

  no more huge stadiums.. are they not expecting a great crowd?

  'Rattigan, yes keeping expenses low, using properties they already own, then charging their members for the rental. They have been doing that for some time in some limited way. The WTS is trying to "save" money and pass it on to their members. I wonder how long before the WTS assesses individual required donations (euphemism for tithing) for jws, not a congregational one. Of course, just a "suggestion," but if I understand correctly, the WTS now has access to congregation banking accounts.'

  You wonder how long it will be before the Borg mandates 'tithing'.

  The sheeple will probably wake-up and quit going.

  That's what the Borg has done. It's taken away the focus from the life we have now,,,,taken the focus to 'them' on something which 'may' in the future happen where there is absolutely zero proof of,,,take the sheeples time and money. It's a perfect business.

  It's a perfect business model. Take your time, tax free money and fictional kingdom's in heaven. No taxes, no returns, and a promise of something which 'may' happen in the future. Taking advantage of your time now,,,,,something which you do have.

  study article 19. how can we strengthen our faith in jehovah’s promise of a new world?.

  17 many servants of jehovah have applied jehovah’s counsel to “keep in expectation”​—even for decades.

  louise, for example, began serving jehovah in 1939. she says: “at that time, i thought armageddon would come before i finished high school.

  ''My feeling is that the uncertainty is to keep our minds focused on God , not necessarily the church, so that we keep going forward in our faith.''

  Yeah, keep that F.U.D. there indefinitely. Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt, to lead people on and keep them focused on the Borg.

  "Sadly, I feel the reaper will come, I will shuffle off this mortal coil in due course. Something tells me there's bugger all after this lot."

  yes. sometimes the easiest, simplest explanation is the one to agree with.

  "In any case, these accounts of waiting, from when? 1975? From when TOMO had his last double on the rocks?''

  Yes, then that puts waiting into an entire new perspective.

  On Six Screens last nite,,, I observed a very interesting comment. This commenter referred to Dorothy. Dorothy always had the ability to come home(in other words wake-up) she just didn't know it.

  Just imagine the chaos and fallout the Borg would experience if every JW on the face of this Earth became PIMO then to POMO all at once.

  The Borg as we know it would collapse. Here is why the Borg urges meeting attendance and FS so much so the sheeple don't have time to think and or question things.

  Can this rumor be TRUE?

  by Debra Ann Romano in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  rumor has it there is “new light” (gag!

  ) regarding blood and organ transplants since a recent royal member on the wts board found reason to ok one for himself!

  i mean this shit is so far removed from my life now, but hearing something so outrageous, that once cost people close to me their lives, is too unsettling to not want to know..

  "This is definitely not JW terminology. Are you referring to a Governing Body member?"

  Sounds like he's referring to the WTS Board of directors. What has been suggested as the 'puppet masters' to the GB. The GB are the puppets that the Board of directors actually control. I've hear Mike on the Kim Mikey youtube channel refer to them as 'such'.

  Or, one of the GB members actually may have been involved in a procedure involving blood, and required blood and he took a transfusion. Only when something directly involves the GB or someone of that status the Borg may alter directives to protect their own behinds,
