my grandfather who has been dead for 37 years would not recognise the borganisation today.
he would turn in his grave if he knew the end didn’t come by 2023.. back in the 1970s he really believed in the 75 thing.
he was so disappointed and almost blamed everyone else why the end didn’t come.
TonusOH - “Put a guy at the head of an organization that is convinced that he is being guided by god through the holy spirit, and he can't help but get an oversized ego from it.”
Then, surround him with people who are never allowed to disagree with him, and you can’t help but see increasingly unhinged decisions.
Ironically enough, though, it’s happened to them…

I can’t make out the fine print.

If it was greed, it wasn’t for wealth for its own sake, but rather, a means to an end.
Every decision made and action taken…
…every… one…
…is done so with the overarching goal of shoring up the premise of “God’s Exclusive Earthly Organization”, and mitigating any threats to its continued survival…
…despite the face-fucking irony that - as I explained a couple posts back - if said premise were really true, they wouldn’t have to.

“…They said the information I made available to the public was enough for apostates to undermine the organization…”
All this does is suggest that on some level, more and more WT reps grasp that the WTS is not “God’s Exclusive Earthly Organization”…
…because if it really was, it couldn’t be undermined.
It would be, for all intents and purposes, invincible and destined to prevail, no matter what.

FedUpJW - “… this is not about anything other than pure, unadulterated greed by the WT…”
Maybe, but I don’t think so.
There’ve been more and more indications lately that the Org is in serious financial trouble.
The $3B they got from the sale of the Brooklyn properties is apparently gone, due to massive over-budget costs on Warwick, hundreds of CSA settlements that haven’t even hit the news, and payouts for outstanding debts that the rank-and-file have no idea even existed…
…the membership is the lowest educated in the world, and therefore the lowest earning, so they can barely make ends meet, let alone financially support the organization with meager donations…
…and the sheer fucking panic the Org displays when it looks like they might lose their tax exemption or get cut off from the public teat in some parts of the world is the strongest indication, IMO.

the wtbts owned this land.. google maps says this address is a cardiology institute.. .
I’d’ve thought that, too, but Covid / Zoom made it so easy for so many to fade, I can’t help but think they’re having second thoughts about it.
zoe has nephew in the new bethel and we have been there to visit him.
even had a meal in the new dinning room and had a tour.. it was a bit underwhelming and the display of old bibles open to pages showing jehovah’s name is supposed to prove everything they say is spot on!.
everyone is talking about the upcoming dedication where members of the gb are flying over.

I am curious about how they would monitor XJW resources on the net without being “contaminated” by what they read.

It implies/confirms financial worries.
God, it’s like the WTS is eating itself alive…
…alienating smart/educated people, constantly tightening and narrowing the rules, embarrassing themselves at every turn…
…every decision they make can’t help but have long-term negative consequences.
