if you are a jw you think god is punishing watchtower?
after watchtower got banned in russia and buildings seized, lot's jws said russia would be punished.
org kept losing in court with child abuse cases.
I see the watchtower corporation as a rudderless, captainless vessel steaming at full power in an ocean full of icebergs.
It’s like when Kodak doubled down on film cameras and Sears doubled down on brick and mortar shopping.
Incompetent leadership has nothing to do with God.
the other night, my wife and i were driving through a upscale suburb with old, large, beautiful homes.
there is one house that my never jw she really likes.
as we drove by the house, i turned to her and said, "that's your armageddon house.
Unless Jehovah somehow changes the laws of nature in the new system, who is gonna maintain all those Armageddon houses?
the poor spendthe middle-class savethe wealthy invest.
the unique circumstances of the lockdown and stimulus checks has highlighted these differences in stark ways.. on one hand, you have jumps in sales and valuation of companies like foot locker and nike, as people spend their "free" government money on sneakers.
they blow it on useless tat.
The middle class spend too much time and money being middle class. It costs money and takes time to maintain social status. That’s why they are going nowhere financially.
It is much like being a Jehovah’s Witness in good standing. You have to do all the right things(aux pioneer, be elder, go to international conventions) to keep your status. This keeps them tired and broke.
Every society needs slaves and that’s what the little people are. It’s rigged up to use our human nature against us to keep us on the treadmill all the while thinking we are free and somehow better than the next guy who lives in a little bit smaller house than we do.
is watchtower faking there member numbers?
i live in europe.
for the last 15 year's probably 25 person i knew or more were df, pimo, left by own will, inactive.
Where I live they keep closing halls and amalgamating to larger centres. But there is no growth, only decline.

I’ve always had the habit of investing my overtime earnings from work. That way I don’t get used to spending more than I actually earn and I’ve had a few in between job times where I dipped into those savings until I could secure another job.
i only have lived in 4 states!
michigan.
georgia.

my in-laws are two such people.
people who pioneered and did not work and try to save, instead they made just enough to get by and waited for the end to come.
now my mil is in palliative care and the state is paying for her keep, my fil lives in a dilapidated home and can not keep it up.
I know more than a few baby boomer converts with well off non Jw parents live the spiritual life. Even with their inheritance they are still broke.

I saw that video on jw org about the guy that gave it all up to serve at bethel. What they don’t tell you is that not everyone can go.
Some relatives of mine jumped through a lot of hoops for a number of years and ultimately ruined a good retirement for themselves for the branch to reject application after application.
what is the probability that a religious organisation is used for money laundering?
for example, large amounts of money are raised by the organization as a donation and then legally introduced into the financial system.
is there any chance that jw.org is used for this kind of purpose?
Check valves and diodes prevent the back flow of money in the Jehovah’s Witness religion.
It’s funny that more can’t figure that out or don’t get the courage to do something about it.
