  Missing Monthly Broadcast - May 2015

  2. scandals

  youtuber millstone research has done a video on the fact that the may 2015 monthly broadcast is no longer on jw org.. https://www.jw.org/en/library/videos/#en/categories/studiomonthlyprograms.

  the broadcast was presented by lett who mentions he had the backing of the other gb members regarding his comments.. the broadcast is basically about soliciting jws for funds as well as other 'valuable things' for the organisation.

  this is the one where he claims that the money flowing out was more than the money flowing in.

  Youtuber Millstone Research has done a video on the fact that the May 2015 Monthly Broadcast is no longer on JW org.

  https://www.jw.org/en/library/videos/#en/categories/StudioMonthlyPrograms

  The Broadcast was presented by Lett who mentions he had the backing of the other GB members regarding his comments.

  The Broadcast is basically about soliciting JWs for funds as well as other 'valuable things' for the organisation. This is the one where he claims that the money flowing out was more than the money flowing in. Also selling the properties in NY only covered expenses for a few weeks and money was needed for all their building projects.

  In the same Youtube Lett says that they have never solicited for funds or coerce followers to donate like some other religions.

  Link to Millstones video (which has been highly edited and would be very problematic to refer any JWs to.

  IICSA Final Report

  by Phizzy in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  the english legal system's independent inquiry into child sexual abuse has issued its final report, and its recommendations.

  to read the report in full just google iicsa report, if you search on the iicsa site you can find the specific investigation into j.w's.. but this recommendation from the final report is interesting, esp.

  the first and last sentences.

  The faithful steward mystery - solved at last!

  by BoogerMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  w13 7/15 p. 20 “who really is the faithful and discreet slave?” revealed it was a bunch of guys in new york, back in 1919.. the apostle paul must have been un-inspired when he wrote this back in the 1st century:.

  (1 corinthians 4:1, 2) “a man should regard us [all christians/paul, apollos & peter?

  ] as attendants of christ and stewards of god’s sacred secrets.

  That light just gets brighter and brighter. What they thought they saw was one man, then ten thousand or so, including females but more recently, just eight men. It's hard to figure out what they've really been looking at.

  Hi Atlantis, Thanks for asking, I'm doing well.

  Fortunately, I am far away from the devastating hurricane. I live Down Under, in Western Australia.

  It would be lovely if you ever got the chance to visit. I'll throw an extra snag on the BBQ and cook up a batch of Brownies with peanuts if you like, we usually add walnuts.

  It's strawberry season at the moment. Some Aussies like them on Pavlova (a soft meringue that is crispy on the outside but way too sugary), we like them dipped in melted chocolate.

  Glad to hear that you were out of harms way.

  Thanks for the link to the shocking news Barbara and also for all the work that you've done in this area.

  How the GB can stand in front of an audience and claim incidents like these are bold face lies is a disgrace.

  Another congregation closed

  by hoser in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  15 years ago there were 5 congregations now there is only one and it is still struggling.

  congregations closing their doors doesn’t mean business is good.

  it looks like this last one to fold had no young witnesses, they either left the religion or moved.

  How do they reconcile the idea of making their followers travel further for meetings so that they can afford to make more videos?

  I suspect that these new studios are a coverup for where the bulk of the money is really going and an excuse to keep begging for more.

  Yet another mo' money video!

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  (in the what's new section) apparently jehovah is still failing to provide the necessary funds so have to beg and petition men for support even though we said we'd never do that!.

  new angle, if you want to make friends with jehovah and jesus we need more of your unrighteous riches .

  apparently jehovah is in the protection racket now.

  I gather this was a morning worship for the Bethelites - who have made a vow of poverty. I wondered what he was doing lecturing them for more money.

  These Bethelites and many are Elders go out to Congregations so I gather the talk is to indoctrinate them with the attitude that they must promote the idea of asking for the congregation members for their unrighteous riches.
