  I think the illustration is sort of a "scarlett letter" type of branding.

  Absolutely disgusting.

  Does the GB really care if the organization collapses?

  by Driving Force in

  2. scandals

  i am sure that the gb does not care about the r&f jw.

  it does not care about the organization collapsing overnight.. why do i say this?.

  in 2013 the organization declared that the "faithful and discreet slave" consisted only of the seven member of the gb.

  Fair enough Driving Force. My apologies coming on harshly there.

  I'd estimate they maybe have 40,000 physical buildings. Estimating the market value per property is where its a crapshoot. They generally build in bad locations simply for cheaper land. Of course the X factor is how many congos are in 1st world countries vs the rest of the world.

  That being said, that property is not liquid. Sure they can sell off based on orders from the CO and build in another area for whatever reason they pull out of their ass. But the GB isn't cash motivated, they are power hungry. As long as they have millions worshipping their every word they just need to keep the ship afloat til they die.

  After taking over all property and extra cash from all congregations on the whole planet, which amounts to at the very least US$ 50 billion

  Care to justify this number? The absurdity of claims like this make the ex-JW community look like idiots.

  OMG... what happened in a bar today

  so, i'm sitting in a bar, having a drink.

  the bar participates in taptv, an online trivia thing.

  the question that came up was, "what did jehovah's witnesses call themselves before 1931".

  What is hilarious is that internally they spout off about "not giving a bad Witness" and "not giving Jehovah a bad name" and all the while 90% of the world looks at them as vultures and door to door salesman. Sometimes people just can't see the image in the mirror for what it is.

  2000 people and we only had two baptized.

  Love the Ax, of course getting drunk would really tempt me to break that thing out and start hacking up the mic cords up on stage.

  BTX - The loungers would be nice! I remember as a kid being very jealous of the sick/elderly down on the floors of the conventions lounging like they were on the beach, all the while my back was breaking from those horrible stadium seats.

  However, there were some problems with this explanation.

  Pretty much sums up WT writings for the last 140 years!

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i've been dating a jw girl for about 4 years and we've recently had a lot of issues with the fact that her family doesn't like that i'm not a jw.

  i've been looking into the religion and am interested in it.

  but is it wrong to join just so i don't lose her?

  If you want to see the truth on how these people think, print out a few articles from jwfacts.com.

  When you go over to their house to meet them, whip out the printouts and state you have a few questions about their religion. They will freak out like you are an agent of Satan.

  Then dedide if you want to get mixed up with these people for the rest of your life.

  Culty, culty, culty.

  The KM reminders section is bad enough, didn't the brain trust up there suggest it was un-Christian to wear shorts when you check into your hotel a few years back?

  Stuff like this just helps wake up more of the slumbering masses. Good job, Brooklyn!
