so here we are, almost a year into the "new" congregation donation arrangement.
and its beginning, as was predicted, to fail miserably, and to have direct negative consequences on the poor sheep.. let me give you a little experience, directly from our congregation of about 80 publishers.
back in may, after reading the letter about the "new" arrangement, the elder body decided to "donate" the extra funds on hand to wt, as directed.
@tec49 wow 800dlls a month thats a huge amount. some congs whent the realistic route 100-150 dlls a month.other cong have high amounts 700-900
are Cong whent with 300 dlls wich we cant cover.
there is a lil over 13000 congs in the US at around average of donation of 350 a month for the pass 9 months thats over 40million dlls, plus the funds on deposit they took away are they stashing the money in a swiss bank..
so the bible reading talks about some "good" appointed man who valued the office more than his wife and turned her over to the crowd to be repeatedly raped until she died.. then the sick hoser dismembers her and sends the body parts around the nation.
later the "faithful" jews from eleven tribes go up to do battle with the one "bad" tribe at god's okay and suffers defeat...twice!
finally the third time god lets them win.. wt says that we have to realize that women were expendable in those days.
am glad Jesus is much better o wait, he reflects the same personality as is father.
i thought it would be important to clearly point in the recent talk by governing body member stephan lett, that he did in fact deliberately lie concerning what he described as lies and false information by apostates, concerning the organization being permissive toward people in the organization who had been involved in pedophilia.
the truth of the matter is thats exactly what the organization has been doing and perhaps for a long time.
the recent candace conti law suit where she was awarded 28 million dollars was levied against the wts for its irresponsible behavior by the elders who gave no notification of the accused jonathan kendrick that he had been charged with pedophilia and spent months in jail for his actions .
not to be technical about this, is not in actual talk its a coment done in there morningworship this was from Nov 26 daily txt.
who ever is been in a morning worship they say anything they whant.
'ok people, we have 3 awake magazines with 8 pages each to pump out before the end of the month, no politics, no sex, no mention of education, no recreation, no religious topics, no medical advice, limit music only to instruments ' .
say the gb.

How to train your pet Lion in the new world.
some years ago (the year when i got baptized), i was at a district convention (or whatever they call them these days) with my best friend.
he had a part in one of those acting parts at the convention (i have no idea the term jw's use for them in english).
anyway, we were both seeing through the bullshit of the borg but weren't aware at the time of this forum or other "apostate" groups, nor of the full extent of the perversity of this religion.
Was talking to a friend this weekend and e told me he dint get apointed ms couse he still wears crazy color socks, i was you got be joking..
check this out.
got this bound volume from my dad.. .
I blame the holy spirit on this one, i mean Knorr and Franz dint know they were part of the overlaping generation..
Great find Cap it might be worth something one day.
old school witnesses thrived on the fact they were different and persecuted for it.
it was a point of pride.. i think the whole witness experience is much more social based for younger and newer witnesses.
that may be why so many newer ones that come to this board cannot understand or accept some of the information we present here about how things "used to be".
totally agree with the coments made.
the new GB whants to make it a social club for younger ones making songs like the best life ever and the broadcast makes it feel more young couse, the org had old feel to it.
more young ones are staying in..
i forgot about thus until yesterday.. at the coming dc/ic this summer, pioneers are not allowed to get hard copies of new publacations!
elder & ms, and anyone else that wants one, can!.
stupid!.
@sir82 am thinking north korea
some elder probably said this to the cong and the rumor started.
this topic has been on my mind lately.
i have been looking around at jws and wondering how many truly believe the end is as near as they are told.
from my personal experience, i know that my parents fully believe the end is imminent and may come any time now.
old timers they all believe the end is cooming
My parents feel the same way allways talking about the end and how great the new world will be.
The younger generation dosent talk about the end, for them is just a social club.
@mrflipper you are on point thats the worst letter of intruduction i have seen how could they be so dumb, there so liable in this case.
mr ashe looks like nervous rec in the video, its going to be must see t.v when mr losch gets a Deposition.
