  If they go bankrupt, so what?

  by maksutov in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it seems likely that the watchtower is worried about its finances, given the downsizing, property schemes, and money-grabs we have been seeing over the last few years.

  perhaps they suffered badly from the financial crisis.

  for sure, there will be more expenses to come from child abuse payouts.

  It doesn't matter if they do or don't, the ones at the top will do just fine the ones at the bottom will continue to suffer.

  This overlapping generation, I remember when the WT study 1st came out about it, I was really surprised cause that was how I always saw it. I could have given them this info over 20yrs ago. I don't get half the shit they go on about. Why are they going on bout it all the time I thought it was Jah`s name that was important. All we got do is be like Jesus to the best of our ability, that means try to be loving & kind doesn't it.

  "So that we will not be confused with salesmen, it is best not to mention the donation arrangement unless we are asked..."

  by Island Man in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  "so that we will not be confused with salesmen, it is best not to mention the donation arrangement unless we are asked how our work is financed.".

  this damning quote is found on page 1 of the september 2015 our kingdom ministry, the last sentence in the 3rd bullet point under the sub-heading how to do it.

  this quote amounts to an implicit admission that the jw practice of mentioning the donation arrangement to householders at the door, makes them look like door to door salesmen.. why would "jehovah's organization" be engaging in a practice that is nothing more than a transparent attempt at undercover soliciting?

  Is it really that great being one of the Governing Body Members?

  by John Aquila in

  movie stars travel to, or buy their own private beaches, they get invited to fun parties, and are able to buy not one, but several fast sport cars like jay leno.

  they can buy their own planes and helicopters and fly them like harrison ford.

  (how much fun would that be?

  Manipulative Psychopaths do well in business, politics, & other professions (running a religious organization) because of their ability to con others into believing they are honest & ethical & have talent, experience & a flair for leadership. My new name for them PUPPETMASTERS, cause they pull all the strings & their loving it.

  @ john Aquila, you don't get it cause your not an asshole!

  i'm sick of.... ...having an elder i barely know invite himself over to my house, and bring another asshole elder with him, you know, to "see how i'm doing" f-ck them.

  ...having same elder with all insincerity approach me at the beeting and before inviting himself over, ask, "how are you doing?

  " then when i say everything is great, go ahead and invite them selves over anyway.

  Oh I can see why your edgy & intense, who wouldnt be. This is a terrible situation for you of corse your gonna be angry. Take a breath & say thank-you for your concern brother, however at the moment I wish for you to respect my feelings & not call, I feel you are making it harder for me I feel I need some space. I will let you know if & when this changes. Freemind don't make it harder than it has to be, that's their job, they want it to be hard for you, don't let them have your power making you lose your usual calm demeanour. You can leave (DA) when you are ready to do so.

  Two JWs visited

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i just had two female jws visit, one in their 30s and the other about 20. .

  they invited me to their convention to learn about jesus, they said it is three days long but i don't need to attend every day and she highlighted one session at 11.15am where i could learn about jesus.. i said to her that i wouldn't be interested in attending the convention because i believed what a man called rutherford said about religion being a snare and a racket.

  they wanted to know who this rutherford guy was and after explaining knew who i was talking about.

  LIstener, this is wonderful you were obviously very caring in the way you came across & this must have had a big impact aswell. Even if she doesn't come back you have given her food for thought. Who is Rutherford?

  I think you will find that there are legal reasons why they go to certain places. Well there is here. I did the cart once & had a ball, only cause I talk to every-one wether they take the mags or no, I cant help myself I love people. If I sit down within moments some-one will be telling me about their piles or other personal things I love to listen I don't care who they are religion/country/gender people are people. The only thing that ruined the day was the old bag I had to go with, seriously this little old dear walked past & the sister turned to me & said " I feel really sorry for that woman" so I asked why, thinking she must have known her & something bad had happened, like some-one had died. NO she said "she`s wearing shorts with legs like that" I felt like smacking her round her face & I let her know I wasn't happy. Bitch. Other than that it was o.k. sorry guys. don't beat me.

  Jehovah said he will start the cleaning from his own house

  by Tempest in a Teacup in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this very popular quote came back to my mind today when i was thinking about what jws in the third world country where i live would do if they should hear about the australian abuse story.

  this has been the one explains-it-all, excuses-it-all phrase to respond to nasty things going on in "god's house".. if they should hear about the story, they would just nod, say that phrase and add the sentence that traditionally accompanies it: it is because he is well aware that there are rotten elements in his house, so we shouldn't be surprised...and then they will move on with merrily.

  end of story.
