  privilleges equals spirituality

  by stillin in

  what a sad joke!

  posters here talk about the "do more" pushiness in the organization and that is so true!

  elders just assume that you want to carry microphones and work your way up the spiritual ladder to that blissful state of total immersion in "kingdom matters.

  For born ins- what tipped you off it was wrong

  by teela(2) in

  1. jw

  at a young age i remember watching tv and commenting why is the red cross always helping people and we don't.

  the second big one is if the witnesses only started up in 1890 - 1900 did jehovah not have anyone else doing the preaching work?.

  as a child i don't think we think about theological problems so what tipped you off?

  If Cash Flow Ends, What Then?

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's worth thinking about - what will they do if their cash flow virtually dries up?

  would they "turn on" the friends and try to "punish" them by threatening to close assembly halls and drop the awake completely?.

  could witnesses in western nations fade away from the "ministry" if there is almost nothing left to offer at the doors?.

  Circuit Accounts Servants Confesses how the SCAM WORKS!!

  by JT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  yes, i too have wondered how an assembly that is held in a fully paid for assembly hall, with no food service, could possibly have $10,000 in expenses.

  i suppose the bethel speakers have transportation expenses - maybe $1000 or so.

  as for rent on the assembly hall, well you have already paid for it once, why pay again?
