  Watchtower Bible & Tract Society of New York - Balance Sheets

  can anyone reveal the "mothership's" income/expenditure stats for any recent year?.

  in the uk, charities must be transparent and publish their annual financial information, but in the u.s. it's not so clear..

  Or they just can’t afford to pay back Caesar’s things to Caesar.

  More and more of us suspect their business model is dependent on it.

  hoser - “…They patted their backs about how Zoom was a blessing from Jehovah…”

  ”Everything we do is a blessing from God! Even the stuff we came up with ourselves!”

  ”Everything is proof we’re right! Even the stuff that contradicts the other stuff!”

  ”Everything bad you hear about us is false! Even the stuff that’s true!”

  Wouldn’t have been quicker, cheaper, and easier just to take a new photo?

  This smacks of overkill. 🤨

  Who will be killed at Armageddon?

  by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

  2. beliefs

  if the current doctrine is that only baptised witnesses are going to survive and everyone else burns them what about this new update new light that some from before the flood and sodomites will be resurrected?.

  but didn’t he mention at the agm something about there is no point jehovah killing them and then resurrecting them again?

  it seems they are confused about what they teach and that’s why brother jackson joked about “is this what we used to believe or what we believe now?”.

  ExBethelitenowPIMA - “…I don’t think the GB really thought this through.”

  I’m not convinced the GB really think anything through.

  i been reading quite a few experiences on reddit lately, and their seems to be a common theme coming up….

  …dialed-up-to-eleven shunning of xjws by their witness relatives.. it reminds me of back in the day, listening to some of the over-the-top vitriol displayed by hard-core loyalists when the topic of evolution or apostates came up….

  …i was gobsmacked when i finally realized these guys weren’t offended and indignant because they thought it was lies….

  So, they’re not hostile towards former members simply because they’ve left…

  …they feel threatened because they’re afraid that XJWs leaving might make the WT crumble.

  Damn.

  The reason I bring it up is that I can’t help but wonder if there’s something more going on here…

  …that at least some of these loyalists who’ve bet the farm on the Org having the Truth have, nevertheless, grasped intuitively (like so many of us early on) that something is very, very wrong…

  …but if they just stay the course long enough - and more importantly, keep the membership in - it’ll all still somehow come true.

  Taking that line of reasoning one step further, they subconsciously blame those leaving for the Tower’s (potential) fall.

  …they were angry and hostile because, deep down, they were afraid it was true.
