  Does the Watchtower/JW Organization Regard its Readers & JWs as Fools and are they Secretly Laughing at Them?

  does the watchtower/jw organization regard its readers & jws as fools and are they secretly laughing at them?

  for some examples consider the following.. the wt literature has many times used odd language where they say one thing but word it in such a way as to suggest something else.

  they have said that a number of jws drew incorrect expectations about a number of things, including about 1914 and 1975, though it was the wt itself which proclaimed and taught those expectations in the wt's literature to jws.

  It’s about the money. They change whatever rules they need to in order to keep cash flow coming. Yes, they think the average publisher is a fool as they keep giving their money.

  a group of 136 countries set a minimum global tax rate of 15% for big corporations.

  that is a major goal accomplished by the biden administration.

  seehttps://www.wsj.com/articles/countries-agree-to-global-deal-to-curb-tax-avoidance-11633709979 .. if corresponding legislation gets passed into law in the usa it will be much harder for corporations doing business in the usa to move their operations out of the usa to avoid paying their fair share of taxes.

  Covid relief money is a two edged sword. Not only does it inflate the money supply creating price inflation but in addition causes potential employees to stay at home creating shortages of goods causing more inflation.

  The system you describe would punish the poor and reward the rich. If you drop or eliminate taxes and rely solely on the creation of more fiat currency you create a higher inflation rate(deflation of currency). This rewards the asset holders as their land, houses, gold are worth more currency but the wage earner with no real assets sees the purchasing power of his paycheck go down. We are seeing this happening in our economy right now.

  When corporations are taxed higher they will either expand their operations to avoid paying taxes or pay less dividends to their shareholders.

  If there is CSA in the local congregation the authorities might not go after the branch. The org has no loyalty to the local brothers. Fire up the greyhound

  He might not even be stealing the money. He might be using it to help locally for legitimate needs of the brothers. Donations to the org never come back to help the local brothers unless they can get some media attention from it.

  GENDER PRONOUNS

  by JohnTron72 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just to put it out there, the whole gender pronouns idea being pushed by the lgbtq+ minorities is just a way to try to hide the sin of homosexuality.

  if you can void people talking about your true sexual identity then it seems there is no sin anymore if two they or them of the same sex are together.

  example of the coverup: ("i don't identify as either gender"), so the kids i'm raising in a lesbian relationship need not speak of me as a mom or any other female term and we all don't have to feel any stigma attached to the true terms so, any shame we might feel is hidden anyway.

  Someone in BC, Canada successfully sued their employer for $30,000.00 because the staff were not addressing with their preferred gender pronoun.

  These kinds of settlements don’t help that community in any way as guess where I’m sending job applications that have preferred pronouns on them.

  We had a wealthyish elder in our hall that used to attend the agm. When he would come back the publishers would hang around him to get little scraps of information of what went on. My how the internet has levelled the playing field. We get to know what’s going on in the organization often before the elders do ironically from an anti Jehovah’s Witness web site.

  well, it has happened.. workers in these industries will be forced to vax or lose their employment.. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-10-01/victoria-which-authorised-workers-mandatory-vaccination-onsite/100506980.

  i'm glad to be out of the workforce.. never thought it would come to this in a supposed democratic society.. no wonder protests and law suits are increasing in intensity.

  like for fucks sake,,, a worker at a takeaway bottle / liquor shop.
