  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!!!

  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.

  watchtower has just lost its appeal in the norwegian courts over the withdrawal of the funding it receives from the government as an officially recognised religion.

  the initial decision will now stand due to what the court termed 'exclusionary practices' which includes the witnesses barbaric practice of shunning minors, even by family members in their own homes.

  the ministry of children and families have decided they are now no longer eligible for the state grant of 16 million norwegian kroner given to officially recognised religions.. the following is a statement has been issued, i have summarised if it isn't readable: .

  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.

  FedUpJW - "...I can hear them now: 'We are being PERSECUTED!'..."

  To which I would respond with, "...'Paying back Caesar's things to Caesar' is 'persecution'?"

  A well-groomed beard can make a man more attractive…

  …and I suspect the Org doesn’t want its members too pretty.

  Where it all went wrong for the WT - JF Rutherford

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was thinking a bit about this the other day.

  ct russell, from what i remember about him, kinda seemed like a genuine, nice(ish) guy, although he had a few eccentric but harmless ideas.. during the russell era jws (actually bible students) could still celebrate christmas, worship in other churches if there was no kingdom hall available, and accept blood transfusions.. then after russell died, along came rutherford - a major league a-hole, for sure.. rutherford had plenty of eccentric ideas but at least some of them weren't/aren't harmless.

  some have been long forgotten about - jesus depicted without a beard, the plan to rename the names of the week because names such as thursday (thor's day) is pagan, the articles about the 'dangers' of aluminium, etc.. one key contribution of rutherford which does a lot of harm is no blood transfusions, even in life-threatening situations.. another is shunning, something which never occurred under russell, or at least was much milder.. rutherford has a lot to answer for, i reckon ....

  The way I see it, Rutherford started the Org down the authoritarian path…

  …and Jaracz burned the last bridge.
