  Watch Tower Society owns web domains: www.MT2414.com and www.PS8318.com

  (my apologies if this was already discussed somewhere else.).

  i noticed that the domain www.mt2414.com was taken, and when i tested it, it was a mirror of the log in portion of the www.jw.org site, where you can look up assemblies, kingdom halls, and make either one time or recurring donations.

  so i created an account there (you can use fake form information as long as it's a real email address for email verification).

  Hmmm... www.mt2445.com isn't going anywhere--I wonder why--the FDS must not deserve their own mirrored website!

  First impression was, wow, Watchtower artists are having 1960's bad acid trip flashbacks. But now looking at it again I'm left wondering if...

  Due to the head-bands the cranium suffered from compression leading to chronic head-aches and susceptibility to satanic influence. The GB 3.0 had warned not to exert unnecessary pressure on their recently resurrected noggins and rebels decided to disregard the Channel's Direction to their mortal detriment.

  And the guy with the mustache and the goatee is definitely asking for it, didn't he know it was rebellious and anti JW.0rg to grow facial hair?

  BTW posting this during our meeting and the little girl in the row in front of me just pooped her diapers which for quite a little one it was a quite audible bowel movement--immediately after the moving part about the leper getting touched--quite moving. I'm thinking about moving myself to another row if her mom or dad don't do something quick about the wafting odor and go change the poor kid. You gotta have a sense of humor I'd say!

  lol!

  the subbing wt conductor just stumbled over the title of the wt study and said "let your name be spanktified.

  let your name be spp... stank... sanctified".. all right, so everyone gets tongue tied at some point, if we don't use the words we read as part of our daily vocabulary.

  what happens when one informs elders that one's baptism was invalid?

  is it possible to move from baptized publisher to unbaptized status perpetually?

  what do elders do when you inform them that your baptism was invalid?

  They'll try to argue with you and tell you it's not invalid.

  WT is shorting literature orders by congregation with a problem contributing enough for literature $3500 just for mags

  by oppostate in

  2. beliefs

  at our meeting last night there was a talk about having run out of magazines for the last three months.

  it's expected this will continue to happen.

  the "branch" has not sent the requested number of magazines.

  So the figures this too-young-to-be-an-elder elder gave the congregation had been bothering me for quite some time. I finally had a chance to ask him Saturday.

  He told me the figure of 3500 bucks was a total year rounded off figure. I asked him if the shortage was due to the CO telling the BOE not to order so many each month in order to cut costs. He looked at me like I was an impertinent brat. (Mind you, I'm twice his age, and probably twice his weight).

  So I pressed on, I'm not intimidated by a snotty nosed, bony faced, pencil-neck, pretentious and conceited nincompoop. How is it we've been placing more magazines each month than the number received, doesn't that mean the figures are inflated? He looked at me like I was speaking a foreign language.

  It sounds to me like publishers are reporting magazines they never got, doesn't it? He took in a big breath through a barely open m-dash of a mouth, and held it for a moment, his head shook as if trying to dismiss from his mind an answer he'd quickly thought better not to give me.

  He turned and started to walk away from me. So if the Xxxxxxxxx Congregation didn't have extras either to give us , how are publishers placing what we didn't get? His only response was a quick sideways glance back at me at me as he walked away.

  I guess he didn't think I was worthy to share any information with.

  Will Criminal Investigation And Prosecution Of The Governing Body Ever Happen Because Of The Policies They Made?

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  so far in more recent times they have only been called to take the witness stand in court twice to my knowledge one was a no show in defiance to a court order in which he gave a sworn false statement to the courts claiming austrian citizenship.

  and the other jackson who gave a terrible witness to the court full of lies and misleading statements.

  all this shows how damaging their testimony is when brought before authorities who demand answers for their behavor and policies.. i personal hope for that day to come and have a gut feeling that we will be seeing a lot more of these guys called to court to explain their actions and impose big settlements over their not living up to their fiduciary duty toward children who have been molested by ministers(elders,ms, co, branch personal) they have appointed.

  O my God - QCS Telecom, inc

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  how blessed we are with google.

  with some little information, it is possible to expose the current watchtower corporations.. we read earlier about qcs telecom,inc that was transferred from the jw florida professor hachman.. hachman is owning the jwhsf.org and more domains, used by watchtower.. now, on linked in, some "brother" that works for qcs describes about his work and qcs telecom.. it seems to me, watchtower is using qcs for his own 100gb internet and deliver this product by qcs on the market.. all my grandparrents stood for, poor jw's devoting their whole live to this organization is thrown away.

  they are openly commercial.. read it:.
