Is it all about the money?

by Laika in

often on this forum there are posts about how the gb are obsessed with money and some people here often suggest this impacts every decision the gb makes i.e.

on my holiday thread it was suggested jws aren't allowed to celebrate holidays as it means spending money on presents that they want for themselves.. i however, do not think this is at all true.

the society rarely talks about money and as a percentage of income i think the vast majority of jws contribute a very small amount simply because the society rarely talk about it.. obviously money is important to the society in the sense that they couldn't run a major organisation without it, so they have to ask for it at times and factor it in to some of their decision making, but actually the gb live quite frugally and seem to worry much more about clinging to their authority and power than getting rich.. my controversial suggestion of the day is that saying the gb are obsessed with money must make us look silly to lurkers.. what does the jwn intellegentsia think then?.

OUR KINGDOM MINISTRY

March 2008

We Can Give Jehovah

4 Resources : We can also give of our material resources to support the preaching work. Paul encourged fellow Christians to " set something aside " regularly so as to have something to give to those in need. ( 1Cor. 16:1,2 ) In a similar way, we may be able to set aside funds to donate for local congregation needs as well as for the worldwide work, Jehovah appreciates what we give from the heart, even if it is just a little,___Luke 21:1-4 )

One " Little " dollar from each member goes along way. As in 7 million bucks for the WTS

5 Jehovah has given us much ( Jas. 1:17 )

Pay up

I NEVER Hear A JW Talk About Never Dying & Living Forever In Paradise Anymore!

i was raised with this belief, that we would never die and actually make it into the "new system".

mu faithful jw aunt still talked about my mother (her sister) and her walking together into the great tribulation--- and never die at all!

she spoke of that 2 days before she passed away.. i believe most witnesses expect to die and then get resurrected.

Gingerbread

I'm certain there were some broken hearted elderly

when they were told it would be an " Overlappin' " Generation to see the end

After all those years of lies like this

.

Last Days

" The present wicked system of things, which extends worldwide, entered its last days in 1914, and some of the generation alive then will be on hand to witness its complete end in the "great tribulation"______Reasoning from the Scripures book page 234

.

" The generation " that was alive at the beginning of fulfillment of the sign in 1914 is now well along in years. The time remaining must be very short. World conditions give every indication that this is the case .____Reasoning from the scriptures book page 239

For some, the Kingdom took too long to come

Those who followed Harriet Tubman had better luck

They got to see better in this lifetime

Hello Min

Sadly your aunt believed the end would come at any minute before her demise

As most Witnesses would boast

.

" She was faithful til the end "

.

" It is true that the Witnesses have made mistakes in thier understanding of what would occur at the end of certain time periods,"___Reasoning book page 136

.

What a waste

Under the guise of a religion , They have the power that YOU allow them

to turn your ass every which way but loose

.

Point blank

Only a person in thier RIGHT mind . Cuts loose

and nolonger wants to be recognized as a Jehovah' Witness

and refuse to give them power over thier lives
