For me it's a matter of trust.
I no longer trust anything they print or proclaim during conventions, assemblies and meetings.
I am disgusted by all the rubbish they've force fed me and all those who've put their trust in them over the years.

Photoshop Op...
by oppostate inwouldn't it be great to see the big 8, wel the big 8 in the jw world not the national leaders big 8, ehem.. if they would all grow a beard for the next business meeting in october, where the nu-lite(r) is that beards are ok for men.. could someone photoshop one of the prevalent new smiley photos of the gb and put a few weeks of whisker growth on them?.
just wondering what it would look like.
not duck dynasty length, perhaps, but nicely trimmed full beards, or maybe goatees.. what do you think it would look like?

The real reason for the new donation arrangement?
by redvip2000 inyesterday i was having a beer with a friend of mine who happens to be an accountant, and we began discussing this ridiculous arrangement that the watchtower has put in place.
after giving him the backstory of how the watchtower has been lending money to the local congregations and charging interest, he simply could not believe they had been doing that.. he then offered an explanation which really made sense to me.
he said that in reality what the watchtower society has been doing is actually not legal in light of their tax-exempt status.

At our last Serv Mtg it was announced that we had two resolutions to make.
1. Due to the slips turned in the congregation will be giving $1,200 p.mo. to the Building Committee for upkeep of the KH.
2. The congregation resolves to donate $850 p.mo. to the Kingdom Hall Building Fund.
They both passed almost unanimously. (... With only myself and two others I saw abstaining).
That's a monthly total of $2,050. (The other Cong. that shares the KH is making a similarly expensive resolution).
In the past the local contribution to the Building Committee was $1,475 p.mo. and always less than $100 for the KHBF.
There were quite a few months where the Cong. came up short last year.
How the heck do the elders think the publishers will really live up to contributing even more this coming service year?
Oh, and good-bye to the $14, 000 saved-up reserve in the Building Committee bank account as well.

What Do Mormons Really Believe? RE: The Nov. 8, 1995 Awake Magazine
by D_Rolling_Kearney ini am a member of the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints, and i have written a heavily-documented response to the official magazine of the jehovah's witnesses, awake!, that claims to teach what we believe.
i saw an article from last year's watchtower about a guy who had barely been mormon for very long, and obviously did not know what we believe, who was given this magazine by jw's to show him "the truth.
" he claims to have proven to himself that it was true from information on the lds church's website.

We don't need no stinking lies of Joseph Smith promoted on a mostly ex-JW forum!
One thing I'm glad for is that everytime the google ads promoting Mormonism show up on the JWN forum pages, mormons are getting charged for the ads, at least it may keep Simon getting some revenue to keep JWN going. :-)
Mormonism is even worse in my opinion than JWism but not by much, they're both high control, brainwashing CULTS!
