  JWs who are now paying the price of following the cult.

  by mickbobcat in

  2. beliefs

  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.

  Question

  by Gorb in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  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.

  I was told I didn’t qualify as a ministerial servant because my wife didn’t report enough field service hours.

  How can you have a deficit for a Circuit Assembly on Zoom??

  by pistolpete in

  2. beliefs

  remember when after a circuit assembly the assembly overseer would come out right before the end of the assembly and make a special announcement;.

  "brothers, we have a financial deficit of $5,000 dollars for our circuit assembly.

  keep in mind that we have utilities and other expenses that need to be met.

  If I remember correctly at one time they had real expenses. They would read the accounts and say rent was so much and power was so much and supplies. I wonder what year it changed to a per publisher charge?

  Do you think the Door to Door KNOCKING - field service will EVER resume AGAIN?

  by pistolpete in

  1. watchtower

  if i was a jw, and covid put and end to the door to door work for two years, and kingdom halls closed, it would get me to re-visit and think about the stupidity of the overlapping generation, and how they extended the deadline for armageddon to 2072.

  (1992 franz death +80 more years).

  if i was 20 years of age, plus another 80 = 100 years of age for the system to end.

  You just might be right Vidiot. This trial run of meetings might just be that, a trial run. If there is an outbreak of covid they can tell the publishers it is Jehovah’s direction to sell all the Kingdom Halls and have zoom only meetings.

  As far as profits are concerned it is the bottom line that counts. Liquidate the assets and invest in blue chip dividend stocks.

  The Anointed fight during the memorial celebration?

  by waton in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the last wt magazine on the memorial asserts, that the kingdom covenant was the prime subject of the solemn last supper bread and wine ceremony.

  here was the sobering passing of the bread of wine, symbolizing the new covenant, forgiveness of sins for all.

  here was the symbolic undoing of the talking snake's viles, the reversal of the misery and death of billions, but .

  If the wine was drank by all there wouldn’t be enough left over for the COBE to get hammered after the memorial.

  It will just be another layer of stratification in the Jehovah’s Witness religion. Those that physically attend the meetings will be considered as being more spiritual.

  I feel sorry for the kid. Her parents are taking advantage of her.
