Refering back to pgh, 7 above, picking blueberries as a comuter or helper at Wat Farm is sacred service too-----but only if you're a pioneer. What a load of crap.

More Money For JW.ORG
by The Searcher inmy apologies if this topic has previously been spotlighted.. the following is a portion of the the recent money-grabbing letter from jw.org.
it's on page 4 - one of the three pages which only the elders were allowed to read.. "surplus funds: is it necessary to save congregation funds for future construction or major renovation projects?
what should be done with excess congregation funds that are currently being held or that may accumulate in the future?

Money making machine. Anyone who thinks they are going broke with lawsuits, lack of support...., whatever is kidding themselves. If lack of money was an issue they wouldn't have 10's of millions $$$ projects in progress and 10's ........$$$$$$$$ on the drawing boards. That's right, hugh planned expansion being designed for Patterson. They can't spend it all fast enough.

Just for the record a commercial company is doing the bulk if not all of the concrete work---footings, foundations. They have been on site probably more than a year. About 10 cranes most likly with operators earning big bucks. Tons of equipment from United Rentals. This is a hugh project. Projects also going on at Wat Farms. They can't spend their money fast enough.

Used to have a lot of our elder's meetings at Watchtower Farm because half our body were Bethelites. Now I'm driving home from work every day right past the Wat Farm in a rag top, top down weather permitting, wearing a hat with an American flag pattern on the brim. What a change. But I am not particularlly patriotic to the government but I am to the country if that makes any sense to you.

Your final WTF? Moment!
by restrangled init was a long time coming for me.....when i read about the extened generations, after being raised on1914 being the be all end all, and millions would never die....that was the end.
i was part of the 1975 fiasco, the 6 month only truth book studies, suffered through a disifellowshipping and their version of a rewind.
i finally am free and hope others can eventually look in instead of inside looking out!

My last meeting was in 2010, but sometime before that during a Sun morn Wat study about when we see a rock badger, gecko, or an ant we should be reminded of the same qualities these critters share with Jeh. It was about the most stupid tower study I ever heard. I was sitting there thinking that this is what I gave up a day off for, got dressed up, came to the meeting to hear this crap. If I looked at it before hand I would have skipped. Anyway I was not mentally in anymore, but that tower study really steepened the slippery slope I was sliding down. In 2010 one Sunday morning I woke up, decided I just wasn't going to do it anymore and went motorcycle riding. Never been back. That's the short story.
