  thoughts triggered from a comment cappytan made on a different thread:.

  cappytan the newest guy in the gang, mark sanderson, is no exception [to being a gb helper at some point].

  - w2013 7/15 p.26 a new member of the governing body"in september 2010, [mark sanderson] was invited to return to the united states, where he served as a helper to the service committee of the governing body.".

  WT Society SEC Records : Hedge Funds, Cayman Islands, Financial Losses - Links

  by flipper in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  so my wife and i were curious so i researched some financial links and found records indicating that the wt society has been operating at a loss since the year 2012. as you read the links it shows a loss of 10 million $$$ in 2012, about 16 million $$$ in 2013, and a whopping loss of 56 million $$$ in 2014 - where the expenditures exceeded the revenues for each of those years in the amount i've mentioned.

  also there is a link on this same website with the sec records indicating that the wt society and it's representatives funneled 40 million $$$$ into hedge funds in the cayman islands as early as 2007. if you look online on other sites you can see evidence that indicates the wt society attended hedge fund conferences to look into more shadiness in 2011 and isn't it curious that by 2012 the wt society started showing losses.

  anyway here is the link : https://www.watchtowerlies.com/the_watchtower_revenue.html .. feel free to check this link out and other links on that link indicating the cayman island connection.

  Ha Ha, thanks, I heard they lost millions Aug 24 2015 but I have no confirmation. Who was managing their money, some pioneer with a high school diploma?
  
  I heard that reading the awake magazine was the equivalent of a college degree so whoever is running the finances must have never missed an issue.

  Churches in Australia could lose millions in tax breaks under radical national faith register plan

  by sherrie11 in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  churches and religious organisations would lose millions of dollars in tax breaks, concessions and hand outs under a radical plan to force priests, rabbis and imams to sign up to a national faith register.

  under the bold proposal clergy would for the first time be forced to undergo government-specified training and security checks and would be monitored by a national body, or risk losing government funding..

  former premier ted baillieu has backed the plan that has been put to federal and state leaders including the prime ministers office, and premier daniel andrews..

  What makes WT think they can reassign Bethel volunteers to be Regular Pioneers.

  by Zoos in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when the gb cuts loose 1600 volunteers, what makes them think they can continue telling them how they will spend their time?

  i've read on many of these threads that the 1600 will be reassigned.

  what, are they still under some sort of contract?.

  I won't help out anyone who has criticized/bullied me in the past for working full time and not pioneering. It's your turn to "trust in Jehovah " suckers.

  What was the strangest off-the-cuff remark you ever heard from and elder or higher appointee?

  by donny in

  2. experiences

  i showed up for saturday morning field service and i was partnered with an elder who had transferred to our congregation in the dallas, texas area from michigan.

  i told him about a recent embarrassing moment where i had played a "worldly" song during the sunday meeting due to someone replacing the cassette i had placed in the cassette player late friday night that had the correct "kingdom melody.".

  out of the blue he said "about 4 years ago i was giving the sunday talk and i kept sporting a boner from time to time which was bizarre since being horny and teaching about jehovah is typically not something one associates with one another.".

  Yes it's true about this co. He also would talk a lot about cleavage and how sisters who have it should cover it. He was a perv. He also told me once not to use hotmail because popups with links to porn would show up on it.

  When we were selling watchtowers for 50 cents a buddy of mine made the presentation " 50 cents to cover the cost of printing". Turns out the householder was in the printing business and looked the magazine over and said it would cost about 3 cents to make this and handed it back to my buddy.

  My buddy and I were out in service with the circuit overseer about 2005 or so.

  Out of the blue he asked us if we had read about the new thought that if you watched porn while you masturbated it was now considered unclean ness with greediness and could result in a judicial hearing.

  Just 10 more days. How are they going to spin the news on Oct 3 annual meeting?

  so they asked all the kingdom halls for all the money in their savings account and then make them give a monthly payment for the rest of their life.

  the reason for this was because the in-gathering is so great, that they need to build, build, build!.

  now the massive building will stop..

  Chances are they won't even mention it. They will say something about how bad the system is and we are really, really, really close to Armageddon now.
