  How can you have a deficit for a Circuit Assembly on Zoom??

  by pistolpete in

  remember when after a circuit assembly the assembly overseer would come out right before the end of the assembly and make a special announcement;.

  "brothers, we have a financial deficit of $5,000 dollars for our circuit assembly.

  keep in mind that we have utilities and other expenses that need to be met.

  The 'deficit(tm)' was always a top scam to con more money from the Jobo R&F. Why should they stop at Zoom? They are greedy, drunkards and sexual predator lovers.

  I retire in less that 3 years. Ugh! I'm getting old.

  I wanted to be an actor ~(like my cousins, Ronald Allen and Patrick Troughton...just to name drop), or musician but being raised a Jobo, no chance! Having said that, I look at those people and wonder if I'd fit in with the Guardian reading, champagne socialist luvvees.

  Blimey. How much does it cost to keep TOMO drunk?

  ......oh, wait, I forgot that they lovingly protect child molesters.

  Question

  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.
