by oppostate in

there are a ton of foundations, corporations and groups giving money, thousands of dollars in contributions, to the wt according to citizenaudit.org documents.. here's one example from the edwin j. and patti curtze foundation:.

in this instance they get dividends from investments and disburse thousands to the wt.. https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/261439455.

The Edwin J's yearly reported revenues don't seem to match their income. They employ 3 people and only report less than $17,000 yearly. Yet their dividends amount to quite a lot in comparison according to the other websites reporting on their 990 disclosures.

It was established in 2010 and incorporated in PA.

Edwin J & Patti Curtze Foundation

Phone: (814) 838-3232

Name: Edwin J Curtze
Job Title: Principal

There's sompin' fishy going on in Erie, Pennsylvania!

One foundation does not a pattern make but the fact that CitizenAudit reports many such arrangements seems to hing at the WT establishing foundations which invest funds then return dividends under names other than the usual public WT corporations.

The total extent of these foundations that are set up to get dividend income then turn over proceeds to the WT likely is an important source of revenue for the WT. Definitely much more than Sophia's ice cream money, or Granny Pioneer's $20 bill every meeting.

I would think that tracing the source of income from these foundations and large charitable donations not by individuals so much as by foundations and other paper entities may be one way to follow the money all the way to the Boys in Pennsylvania's coffers.

What's your opinion?

One would think so, yet the b0rg drones on.
They have morphed before and will likely do so again.

Watchtower today

by Gorbatchov in

jw
friends

shame to see our multi bilion property and media corporation asks for the last coins of an indian child, the coconuts from a sri lanka man and the last olive oil of a greek poor.. message to the poor is: no money, then your other belongings are belonging to jehova (read:jw.org).. at the end of the article i can click on a donate button and get a visa / mastercard sign om my screen.. follow the money: were are the property bilions?.

First they would have to run out of loyal /contributing publishers and then run out of properties to sell, and that could take a while.

Manager of Aparthaus Paradies Swiss Hotel now apologizes for posting signs demanding of “Jewish guests” to shower before entering pool.

by oppostate in

switzerland condemns racism, anti-semitism and discrimination in any form, a spokesman for the government said on tuesday, as a row with israel over a hotel sign telling jewish guests to shower before using the pool showed no sign of abating.the swiss statement came after the jewish state lodged official complaints about aparthaus paradies in the alpine resort village of arosa and signs it posted telling jewish guests to shower before using the swimming pool and restricted their access to a kitchen freezer.the hotel quickly apologized and removed the signage after a public backlash.the prominent jewish rights group, the simon wiesenthal centre, published a letter tuesday demanding that switzerland “close the hotel of hate and penalise its management.” it also called on booking.com to remove the hotel from its directory “and explain the anti-semitic cause of the removal on your website.”the centre’s head of international relations shimon samuels, pointed out that “the reference to ‘showers’ can be construed as a patently vicious reference to the fake shower hands in the gas chambers.”.

"to our jewish guests women, men and children please take a shower before you go swimming and although after swimming.

if you break the rules , i'm forced to cloes the swimming pool for you.

what if the Jews hit back by pulling their money out of Switzerland?

Just by boycotting the Aparthaus Paradeis Hotel immediately and making cancellations for any future stay would send a clear and loud statement that businesses which publicly display and practice insensitive, racist attitudes will see their customers go elsewhere.

They are their guests, tourists who come to spend their hard earned money there, WTF was she thinking, indeed !?!?

@ Ak**48

Ah, bandicam.com eh? Cool but only for games, right?

Without using a webcam, so as not to appear on video,

in person, you can still do some pretty neat vids by using

http://screencastify.com and http://goanimate.com

and also http://animoto.com which are all quite good.
