Beth Sarim - “… we will probably see the real ugly side of the Borg when it comes to legal or financial entanglements.”

Agreed.

There’s another aspect to consider, too.

With dwindling donations due to low income membership, recent overextension on projects, and the Rising Tide of pedo-related court losses, I really think they’re feeling the pinch more than usual.

And any corporation that can’t ensure continued revenue stream is on shaky ground…

…i.e. its survival is threatened.

More and more, I think that - whether they admit it out loud or not - the JW leadership are feeling increasingly compelled to take whatever steps are necessary to ensure the Org’s survival.

From their POV, they have to, in order to continue shoring up the premise of “God’s Exclusive Earthly Organization”…

…ideologically, it’s the WTS’s entire justification for existing, really.

What happens, though, when the very actions they have no choice but to take to survive can’t help but undermine said premise?

Honestly, at this point, I doubt they give a shit what “Satans World” labels them.

I think it’s about maintaining a minimum level of revenue flow for operating costs.

Thing of it is, if the Org can’t do that without help from secular government, it suggests they’re on thinner financial ice than previously thought.

JWs near of losing their status a religious organization in Norway

by Festus in

last spring norweigian state refused to give public contribution to jws (religious organisations can apply that in norway and previously wtbs has been granted that).

the decision was caused because of practise of disfellowshpiping.. now there is a new twist.. 25.10.2022 authorites in norway send a letter to wtbs and told them that they have four weeks to fix that practise.

if they don't do that they will loose their status as a religiouse organisation.. intrestingly jws did not "understand" what authorites meant by that and requested more time.. how can they not understand?

How the hairy blue fuck do you spin the loss of free government cheddar as “persecution”?

You have to wonder…

…membership growth and success in the courts have been touted as evidence of God’s favor for so long, there’s gotta be at least some cognitive dissonance by now…

😁

I really do think sometimes that the WT leadership buys into its own (internal) hype.

truth_b_known - “…the gall to complain and petition a government in an attempt to demand taxpayer funding while simultaneously insisting on emotionally abusing children…”

The kind of thing a “Karen” would do.

Rules & Regs- “…Great deception on the Watchtower Society's part blaming the Norwegian Government for ‘religious persecution’…”

Once again, for the newbies, lurkers, and trolls…

…if you have to cheat to defend your beliefs, your beliefs don’t deserve to be defended.

HTF could they not think shit like this wouldn’t come back to bite them on the ass???

Yeah, being cut off the public teat and having to “pay back Caesar’s things to Caesar” is “persecution”.

😒

Ten bucks says Top-Shelf Tony’s video is a half-assed attempt at damage control in the face of yet another embarrassing loss.

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

it's becoming unbearable for me to attend another meeting.

i dread coming to the weekly sunday public talk and watchtower study.

the talks are ''repeats'' of a ''repeat.

Hearing all the misinformation, errors, and outright bullshit presented as irrefutable fact was starting to feel like ants crawling under my skin.
