Sexual abuse and Jehovah's witnesses- the gift that keep on giving

by wannaexit in

there seems to be no end to the many jw's who sexually abused minors.

here is another story:.

What Thomas and Phizzy said.

A cornerstone of the WTS’s entire reason for existence is the fiction of “God’s Exclusive Earthly Organization”.

Undermine that too deeply, and that existence is threatened.

And nothing undermines it more than evidence - i.e. admission via their own internal correspondence - that sex crimes were repeatedly occurring and being swept under the rug, all the way up the Watchtower hierarchy, for decades…

…and that - most egregiously - the Org’s so-called “Biblical” policies for dealing with it were making the problem worse rather than better.

Worldwide headline from the Org!!!!!!!!!

by BoogerMan in

unbelievable news: they've actually built a kingdom hall, and it was thanks to jehovah!!!!.

https://www.jw.org/en/news/jw/region/canada/kingdom-hall-completed-in-canadas-place-of-many-fish/.

“from the logistics of getting the construction materials to the far north, to navigating how to solve unexpected supply problems, nothing could stand in jehovah’s way.

Bets on how long it’ll be before it’s listed for sale? 😏

News story claims: "Jehovah’s Witnesses" are QAnon believers"

by Balaamsass2 in

i was googling the subject and came across this story.

i just had an incredible phone conversation with a long-time jw who has strong "q-anon" "sovereign citizen" beliefs.

the wife(first gen) says she is not surprised.

Data-Dog - “…You don’t have to believe in Satanic Lizard people to disapprove of those actions and stand up for freedom…”

…but it helps.

All hail the Neworldordereptilianuminati!!!

My prediction coming true

while back, not here on this net i don't remember.

i predicted that watchtower would allow you to buy your way into the kingdumb.

does anyone find this interesting?.

Seriously, though, I suspect they kinda have to.

Selling off the family silver - i.e. real estate assets - to stay in the black is not sustainable in the long run.

If - or more likely, when - the Org’s tax-exemption reaches the chopping block, they’ll need something else to shore up the revenue flow.

That’s the reason for the recent dialed-up-to-eleven multimedia initiatives, IMO.

Ding - "Why would the Watchtower want money from worldly governments that are opposed to Jehovah's Kingdom anyway?"

I wouldn't change a single word of this sentence.
