  Question

  by Gorb in

  what is the probability that a religious organisation is used for money laundering?

  for example, large amounts of money are raised by the organization as a donation and then legally introduced into the financial system.

  is there any chance that jw.org is used for this kind of purpose?

  I'm not sure the actual term 'money laundering' can be used in this instance. I'd say 'money grubbing', sure.

  Certainly, the WBT$ scrounge money off the R&F and anyone they can. They gamble in stocks and shares quite hypocritically.

  GT - How'd I do, Punky?

  Spot on. Top marks.

  How they make it is really interesting.

  Also, like many of the Shires here in the UK. they tend to be pronounced Shuh.

  I live in a borough. I have been amused how my American cousins pronounce it as Boe Row whereas, we say Buh Ruh

  1, he had a saying about how to treat his workers ,.

  " treat them like mushrooms ,keep them in the dark and feed them bullshit ".

  " the door is always open" ,what he didn`t elaborate on was that it was a revolving door ".

  Longy - Yes, it is sad the JWs are generally an uneducated bunch with some being painfully so!

  Agreed. If they're an Elder and they pronounce something badly, everyone follows thinking that they're somehow inspired. Unless it's an Elder the biggest bully on BOE who demeans it.

  Circus Servants were the worst because even the biggest bully on the BOE would brown nose to them.

  Do Believers Cherry Pick Scriptures & Ignore others To have faith In A God of The Bible ?

  by smiddy3 in

  doesn`t the god of the bible condemn him/her self ,incriminate him/her self by the writings as god`s word?.

  any human charged with what god has done in the bible would be labelled a monster and either executed or spent a lifetime in prison..

  We all have our confirmation bias and love to be in a group echo chamber. It's hard not to.

  I have no problems with Americans pronouncing words differently. However, I used to get marked down at school for my spelling things ALA Watchtower, without the 'U' EG, in Colour.

  Try Worcestershire sauce.

  you're doing everything you can, meeting attendance, field circus, helping out where you can and you are told your not progressing!?!

  as anyone had that happen to them in the "trooth "?.

  Did they say what you can do to 'progress'? If not then it's probably some officious narcissist that either doesn't like you or is jealous.

  Why even bother? Life is too short to be stuck in a cult.

  Jan - Maybe we should all keep a copy of the cartoon to show JWs .

  The Jobos will just claim that Satan drew it.

  I know Satan is supposed to be bad, but bad at drawing too?

  It depends on the individual and what you call a party. It isn't a hive thing.

  The Governing Body (p1ss be upon them), hate the Jobos having any sort of life other than slaving to keep them in luxury and booze, so there is that.
