How can “God’s Exclusive Earthly Organization”…
…go bankrupt???
Ah, thanks.
”Full disclosure” in movie-lawyer-speak.
“In discovery”?
Sorry, what does that mean?
even though i'm disfellowshiped ( & i belive wrongfully so).
i still belive this is the truth.
i have been d'f for about 8 months now and working on reinstatement.
Why would there need to be one?

i want to take a moment to salute rick fearon, an "apostate" near boston massachusetts usa who more than 17 years ago started the sixscreens telenetwork on youtube.
you can find it here: https://www (dot) youtube (dot) com/ (at) araretreat/streams.. like our benevolent host simon green here at jehovahs-witness.com, rick has not done his great work for his own financial enrichment or to collect followers for himself, as some xjw grifters have done and continue to do.. saturdays and sundays are the busy days at six screens, with call-in programs like:.

in this jw training video, an elder gets deleted because his daughter has "stumbled" other jw's by pursuing higher education.
🤣.

Another example of blind faith’s blowback.
All they saw were university graduates “leaving the Truth”, and reacted.
They never anticipated that less educated people would become the lowest income earners, and therefore, the lowest monetary contributors…
…and probably assumed Armageddon would arrive before it ever became real problem, anyway (not unlike the CSA issue).
