  been lurking for years, but couldn't log on.

  for some reason, my email spam filter is inaccessable, and ended up having to open another account, simply to become a member... wonder how many others have had a similar problem.. its been an eye opener reading everyones life experiences, often so similar.. i was almost a born in, with a hardcore family.

  abusive stepfather who was one of the original jws in the area, so much so, that it was called the xxxxx family religion.... been out for 25 years, am glad every day for that!!.

  The Governing Body Is Getting Ready To Rob/Sell/Get Kingdom Halls And Show A Positive Corporation Cash Flow

  by frankiespeakin in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the governing body has everything in place so that they can start liquidating their properties owned through dummy incorporations with bylaws that give complete authority to the governing body.. i'm thinking be prepared to see many leave the organization when the shit finally hits the fan over these child molestation lawsuits hanging in the balance.

  truley a time of the end if you will for an outdated religion based soley on ignorance and gulibilty.. it(watchtower corp) is basically a printing business that prints it's own stuff which gradually dupes the reader into selling their product door to door in order to please god and not be killed by god for being so bad that you could sell this product door to door.

  only people who beleive what is written in the magazines will be saved was the motto and now it has been refined to; listen obey and be blessed by the corporation's deity jehovah over which they have exclusive claim being his earthly corporation and all and run by the governing body of self proclaimed holy men.. they are selling all their printing equipment and trying to raise cash from the proceeds which may be eaten away by these lawsuits so another alturnative is to start liquidating halls now gradually while proclaiming great increases and the need for more kingdom halls to be built while selling them in other parts of the country.

  Why do you say they are selling all their printing equipment? It seems that when they sell presses they replace them with faster ones, but yes this saves money. They run them on double shifts but they are not selling ALL of their printing equipment. They still print about 3 billion publications a year if you include memorial & convention invitations.

  Yes, they act like they own Jehovah. They created him and control him. If you do not obey the gb they will instruct Jehovah to destroy you at armageddon and he will, or they will disfellowship him!

  But they will survive, the wts will be around is some form long after we are all gone, unfortunatly.

  "Watchtower's Achilles' Heel" is available in Spanish

  by Doug Mason in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the watchtowers achilles heel is available in spanish.. if reasoning with a jw on the governing bodys interpretations such as of the kingdom of god, parousia, the cross, blood, and so on is unlikely to break the governing bodys mental stranglehold, what then is its achilles heel?.

  my study: the watchtowers achilles heel answers that question.

  Thanks for the links to the photos Barbara!

  In the essay they mention it was NOT the GB that wanted to move out of Brooklyn, it was Jehovah who wanted them to move!

  Oh, so Jehovah wanted to get the billion dollars by selling his buildings? I did not realize that Jehovah needed the money! lol!

  I remember when I started going door-to-door we'd meet people that would ask " Are you from Watchtower"?

  It is strange to think that there are people who do not know the wts is operated by witnesses.

  The situation Barbara mentioned about in Israel shows how corrupt and decietful the gb are who will lie all the time to get their way.

  Why get upset with the new WT donation system? It will still be a success...

  by suavojr in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when the wt went from charging for literature to voluntary donations, they took a hit but still survived.. i frankly see them having a high success once this new donation system is in place.

  it will be a success and no dissenter or closet apostate will be able to stop it.

  because although we hate the wt and would love to see them disappear, we cannot forget the ones inside will gladly donate, donate, donate.. just look at other churches!

  I agree

  -they are thoroughly brainwashed beyond help. Any time anything new is announced they all rejoice over it. Even if tithing were introduced they'd consider it a blessing from Jehovah.
