Yes, and if you set a date the time will eventually prove your prophecy wrong but with only fear but no concrete dates set they can keep people trapped in forever...

I think I figured out their strategy with all the creepy videos
by JeffT ini came in during all the hype over 1975. the predictions about that date were the real driver behind all their activity.
since then, they haven't had a good goad to prod the sheep.
they seem to be smart enough not to try another date.. i think they plan to use fear instead.

So if they would want to HIDE ca$h offshore, would they use easily identifiable names like Jehovah, Watch Tower, Jw.org etc in the name of their shell company? I didn't think so.
Even if the WT would do the dirty work of creating the offshore companies themselves instead of using an outside expert, one would need to know which people inside the WT would most likely be responsible for creating the offshore companies and search for those persons instead. But knowing how tight lipped the WT is about their finances, its very likely that nobody possesses such information outside of the US HQ accounting dept.
Besides... JW.borg IS already in a tax paradise... The US, where religions are tax free...

Hello
by WITNESS-FOR-WATCHTOWER-REFORM injust to say a big hello.
i have been reading this site for some time now and have been very unhappy with some of the things emanating from watchtower head quarters in new york.
the final straw for me is the upcoming watchtower study this weekend encouraging us to shun our own family members (our own mothers if need be) if they are disfellowshipped....a step too far for my liking.

Welcome, and remember, if you use your own identity when writing them, next thing you know there will be two elders from your congregation at your doorstep. -

Greetings
by Pioneerbot inwanted to say hi.
i've been lurking for a long time.
i also spend time on other forums.

Hello pioneerbot, I'm happy for you that you have woken up! You are also very brave to present your findings to your husband.
So are you still a pioneer?
I am also mentally out - physically "in". I was a pioneer for over 10 years, I quit few months ago, my wife is still a pioneer but sometimes she has "lucid" days when she realizes it's all a scam - then she goes back to WT and is more pious as ever. But I'm working on it. I think it's the social aspect that keeps her in.
Good luck for you!

Proof that the lingiusts are lying about words used in the bible IE: Shaddai, Angels, Elohim, Yhwh?
by Crazyguy inin 1967 an archeologist found at tell el-deir alla an inscription that they called the book of balaam son of beor.
this looks to be about the same balaam that's talked about in the bible book of numbers.
remember the guy where his donkey is talking to him.

Well thanks for bringing that inscription to our attention, I for one hear about it the first time now.
