Do you think “Eventually” the Whole World will become Socialist?

by pistolpete in

when i say; “socialist” i don’t mean everyone is equal.

instead i am referring to “leaders” being rich and powerful, whereas the ordinary citizen being poor, and powerless.. i was surprise that the majority of the world is run by socialist government.

the last few countries that are not socialist are the united states and parts of europe.

Nope.

As flawed as capitalism is, it still works better.

Profits ,Not For Profit ,and Prophecy ( Profitcy )

by smiddy3 in

i cant get my head around how a religion ,like the jehovah`s witnesses can be a not for profit organization ,that profits $ from wheeling and dealing in real estate ventures $ ,and also profits from being a multi media publishing company $ that in its heyday profited from volunteers selling their literature and now its venturing into the digital age of tv imaging ,video conferencing ,dvd`s and whatever else they can use.$$$.

making $$$ profits from all of these activities while still claiming to be a not for profit religion reaping in the $$$ profits selling prophecy (profitsy $$$).

it`s about time governments woke up to this charade ..

Drearyweather - "...there is no evidence that the profit earned by WT is somehow distributed among the directors or the GB members."

This.

All available anecdotal evidence indicates that the GB's primary (really, only) focus is being "God's Exclusive Earthly Organization".

Money is a factor, but it's a means of maintaining that fiction, not the end in and of itself.

UNITED NATIONS , NGO's and WTBS

by MacHislopp in

following the link given by kent,.

i have several observation to make:.

(from the link : http://www.un.org/moreinfo/ngolink/brochure.htm).

Ten bucks says they figured that...

a) ...using the resources of "Satan's World"/"The Wild Beast" to further Kingdom interests was (somehow) clever "spiritual warfare", and/or...

b) ...Jehovah would never let such an embarrassing thing about his "Earthly Organization" become exposed.

Both things, I might add, that confirm what we've heard all along... that the WT Leadership really do drink their own Kool-Aid.

'Cause only True Believers would make those kind of dumbass decisions.

A Salute to Petra/Atlantis

whilst i have never quite understood whether petra and atlantis are one or multiple entities i recognise the value of their work and web of contacts.

i think it is fair to say that no-one has consistently contributed more solid gold intelligence to this site.

no one has reliably passed on more bomb shells and solid news as well as day to day minutiae.

nowwhat? - "why are their feelings hurt over one jerk?"

Never underestimate how badly a deeply sensitive individual can be wounded by stupid shit said by one jerk.

Watchtower to be stripped of Charitable status

by Diogenesister in

australian senator anna rushton has said that all orgs who "don't take reasonable steps to join the redress scheme" will be stripped of their charitable status come feburary 2021.. https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/k1pur7/the_jehovahs_witnesses_will_be_stripped_of_their/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share.

smiddy - "I`m thinking that if the Borg signs up to the Redress Scheme ,they will be admitting there is a problem with child sex abuse in the organization and also admitting it`s not Apostate lies, as they have been telling the congregants for so long."

This.

And they would rather piss broken glass than cop to that...

...because a long-standing, endemic, and institutionalized problem like CSA undermines their claim of being "God's Exclusive Earthly Organization" like nothing else.

And at this point, that claim is really the only truly effective source of cohesion amongst the R&F.

...

Lest we forget, said problem has arguably become so long-standing, endemic, and institutionalized directly because of said claim.

They simply would not consider that their vaunted "Biblical" standards and policies - so superior and effective than anything "Satan's World" could come up with - would not only fail to solve the problem, but actually make it worse.

Hypocritical Stance of Jehovah`s Witnesses Over The Years.

by smiddy3 in

i`m thinking of times when the jw organization has been hypocritical in their beliefs / practices .

they make sure they are no part of christendom in any way shape or form ,the understanding the r&f have of the organization.. the r&f members are not to have any dealings with christendoms religions in business or otherwise.. but what does the jw organization do ?

they sell watchtower property to christendoms churches for profit .. the r&f are to be separate from the world and call the league of nations and it`s successor the united nations the counterfeit kingdom of god ,the abhorrent thing standing in the place of god ?.
