The WT needed to institute a tithe without calling it a tithe. If they came out in the next Kool Aid WT and said you must donate 10% of your income, it would wake people up and they would flee in droves.

So they institute this, with plenty of cover because many halls are already paying loans. These halls are happy as clams, saying its a blessing from Jehoopla because their loan is gone! Of course because they are under mind control, they do not calculate that their loan payment has been extended until Armageddon, under the guise of a donation.

And everyone else who doesn't have a loan passes a resolution to chip off a few hundred a month, with some promise of a free KH or remodel in the future.

Where things get interesting is in the next five or ten years. Will these halls really get a remodel, or will mother just sell the property out from under them, pocket the cash, and tell them to drive an extra 5 to 25 miles to another hall?

OMG the Watchtower IS toast!

the waters are drying up!

a congregation of 110+ publishers will be contributing only $200 a month to the society in the new kingdom hall construction arrangement.

that's less than $2 a publisher!

LostGeneration

C'mon Kneehigh, how much were they donating before to the KH fund? $50? $100?

So they just doubled, or more what they are taking in. While $200 isn't much, its probably more than the KH was doing before. BTW, I managed to extract the amount my wife's KH will be donating....$875 a MONTH! This from a just above middle class neighborhood in middle America....

Now I haven't been to a Serve-us meeting in almost six years, but they were lucky to get $200 a month back then, and usually is was more like $100.

The cult isn't dead, just morphing from a publishing company to a real estate investment trust with zero taxation.

COBE cannot be 80 or more

by fader77 in

a new letter no longer allows an elder to be cobe if hes 80 or more.

LostGeneration

Now this is just plain weird.

So to "assist others to reach out" they cut the knees of the old dude who has been serving?

I wonder if they have been having problems with crazy old men (dementia, alzheimers?) causing problems for the BOE?

Or maybe the children of some of these old guys are complaining that the WTS is running them ragged in their old age?

Its probably not the best idea to post it as an image here, the WTS gets their panties in a bunch when their letters are posted...

You can load it up to sendspace for people to download the original, or copy/paste the text into a post.

Welcome to the board!

I guess John would have been disqualified from writing Revelation based on these new discriminatory rules that the WT is now embracing!

Who Will Be The Next Governing Body Member To Defect Like Raymond Franz? I Think Samuel Herd Might Be A Prospect.

by frankiespeakin in

not really, it could anyone of those guys who shows a sign of humaness/compassion and regret and go on exposing them all to the media worse than ray franz ever could have.

yes i know this may be wishful thinking/computing on my part but i feel it is a harmless indugence or may be it is just my deep unconscious foretelling a likely scenerio.. and it is good to create a distrust among these guys each one trying to beat the other to jump ship because thier unconscious is giving them fits to get the hell out when the getting is good.

maybe even report their fellow gbs to the authorities to be granted clemency or something.

LostGeneration

The problem for any of these guys is whether they will have any way to support themselves if they stop sucking off of mothers teat...

I guess they could write a book, like Ray did, but how much would they really make off of that.

Unless they have rich family that will take them in, they would be stuck in the poor house, not a welcome prospect once you are used to living the high life as a cult leader.
