A simple explanation for the financial changes
by JeffT inas i've mentioned from time to time, i'm a retired accountant.
i have tried many times to come up with some logical, sound business reason why the wtbs has made the big changes in its financial arrangements: taking the congregations savings, the monthly donations per congregation etc.
i finally came up with the answer.. the leadership of the watchtower society is batshit crazy.

This newly leaked letter PROVES the WTS are hypocrates and do not speak the truth.
by Dunedain inafter reading this newly leaked letter, something profoundly "hit" me.
myself, being born a "witness", and most of us here, who have learned their teachings for years, know of the "importance" the gb/wts always placed on the watchtower and awake magazines, themselves.. from the magazines inception, from back in probably the 1920's, or somewhere that far back, the wts claimed that the preaching work, and specifically the distribution of these magazines, were a sign of the times, and a fulfilment of bible prophecy in these last days.
they would compare the watchtower magazine to a "stinging scorpion", claiming those magazines fulfilled that verse in revelation.

I gave a roundabout insult to the magz to my pops a few months ago, it had to do with the flimsy size and the content therein, of course he didn't like that. I wonder what he will think once the new "undated every other month" magz come out.

Questions about blessings
by konceptual99 inso when a building project starts then it's a sign of jehovah's blessing.. i hope a few note the irony and ask what it means regarding jehovah's blessing when worldwide construction projects already underway are cancelled or postponed..

Which is of course absurd, is it the same for the Mormons, or Chipotle, or Apple, or any other successful venture in the world. Such an idiotic statement when you step back and look at it objectively. -

Latest rumor - all WT construction "suspended", except for Warwick
by sir82 inheard 4th-hand, but from a full-on believer, so not likely to be an "apostate lie":.
apparently, at bethel's morning worship this morning, it was announced that all worldwide wts construction is "suspended" for an indefinite time, except for the new world headquarters at warwick.. also, the "relocation" of remote translating teams is also suspended.. finally, there will be a "worldwide" reduction in bethel personnel.. all this came to me in a non-english language, and,as noted, 4th-hand.
so it is possible something may have been lost in translation and/or in the multiple steps between bethel morning worship & me.. but if true, it would be quite stunning.

Something doesn't add up, one hell of a mystery. These are same dudes that netted more than $500 million just over the past few years.
Where is the money???

Nah, you are giving Average Joe JW way too much credit
It means: "The end is really, really, really, no I really mean it, really close".

by James Jack ina good source just just told me that at morning worship today that the governing body announced that a total of 1600 bethelites will be let get go and not transferred to warwich when the last property is sold in brooklyn and all kingdom hall building projects are on hold for at least a year so that all the focus will be on the preaching work.

No KH construction or renovations at all???
If that is the case, that is going to be a massive gunshot wound right into the foot.
They raid every local congo bank account, ask for a monthly KH build donation (never-ending, don't forget that), promise to take care of the properties in return, then DO NOTHING for years, or longer??
I don't give many JWs credit for adding 2+2, but something like this is really putting their future at risk. People are gonna actually start saying "WTF is going on here??"

My thoughts re Pope Francis
by ctrwtf inso today i'm watching cbs news coverage of the popes visit to america.
first, let me say i'm not religious at all at this point in my life.
still a few things stood out to me about the news coverage of his visit.. first thing i wondered was if a gb member happened to garnish this much press (unlikely) what would his message be?

He might be a great guy in person, but I really don't care.
As long as he presides over an organization promoting invisibly sky friends, and also one that promotes backwards teachings about human sexuality - I consider him an enemy of progress.
