  I have worked at Chelmsford

  i have worked at chelmsford .

  everybody seems so happy, but i couldn’t help wondering why all these volunteers give up their time and money, working for free for the future bethelites to live in such luxury .

  all all the volunteers working there now will be kicked out on the street next year, with the lucky few laughing at the poor suckers who irked for free making this new bethel so amazing .

  Luxury? Are you joking? You have a very strange view of luxury. And they get paid about $150 a month !

  also the comment at the end is nonsense

  This trolley is located in a spot in London where there are alot of homeless people, and this part is undercover so even more popular. It’s the location to place the trolley when it’s raining , as it was yesterday. The homeless people here do get talked to regularly and get bought food and drinks by the people on trolleys. And charities regularly help people at this location. The idiot in this scenario is the ignorant person trying to make a cheap point with selective photography.

  But you wouldn’t get scolded for delivering sodas to a military base? If you set up a business selling military equipment you would, or a business whose sole or at least majority customer base is military then you probably would do. I you work uber eats that delivers to a base you definetly wouldn’t

  What are trying to say though? This seems to be a trust established by an individual, and the trust donates proceeds of the trust to the wtbts. The society don’t own anything in the trust, what point are you trying to make?

  The Society is Blocking Research On their Web Site

  by new boy in

  it seems, you can not research many of the older publications on society's web site anymore.

  for the obvious reasons, that they don't want people to go back and read about all the false prophecies, changing guide lines (new light that became old light that became new light once again) and the just plain stupid stuff they have said over the years.

  i not quit sure what publications they have blocked.

  Please post the reference of the request to destroy old material. I don’t think that happened.

  Something I had never thought about re: the Borg's nonprofit status

  i am actually looking into the possibility of starting my own nonprofit for ex-jws with specific goals and i've learned more about the process.

  i was interviewing someone for the podcast that is familiar with nonprofits and she told me something that i had never considered.

  maybe everyone else has but i don't remember seeing anything about it here.

  Timeslips are nothing to do with charitable status, some charities might record volunteer hours so they can record a “ donation in kind” or similar. Sometimes funders of charities have match funding requirements whereby the recipient charity has to demonstrate that it has raised funding from other sources. As jws don’t take institutional charitable funding then this isn’t an issue.

  Jw’s definitely meet the definition of charity (at least in the uk), as they have a remit and objective to educate and publish educational material without charge.

  Are the G.B.members really good business people ?

  by smiddy3 in

  if i was an author of a book i think i would be over the moon if i was guaranteed a sale of around 5 million or more books for my work.. the jehovah`s witnesses have over 8 million members plus relatives that are fringe dwellers who come to the memorial once a year ,.

  so what a gold mine they have been sitting on as a publishing house .. why didn`t they keep publishing books for the faithful ,they could have even upped the price , and the faithful would have paid especially in prosperous country`s in the west.. they could have milked this venture for years to come as the faithful would have bought anything they would have published .. and their prophets (profits) would have soared ,literally and figuratively for many more years to come ..

  Do you have anything remotely to indicate that this is the case?? Which ‘Wall Street creditors’ are you thinking of !

  The Latest "Peoples Magazine" on Occults

  by new boy in

  of course they talk about all the really wacky ones everyone knows about, jones town, charles mason, heaven's gate and branch dravidian.

  however if you add up all the unnecessary deaths these cults have contributed too (a thousand and fifty people) it pales in comparison to the number of people who have been directly or indirectly killed my the jehovah's witnesses.

  by the way all of the cults mention above are no more, except for the watchtower bible and truck society.. the little ones seem to get all the attention and the big ones just slide on by.. .

  i was a thriving regular pioneer, doing all thr things wholeheartedly, had 16 bible studies, 7 attending meetings regularly, 11 magazine routes and 100's of rv's.

  you can imagine i was always runnin out of literature and always a good list of books to order every month.

  (not bragging,just stating facts.all this is wasted anyway).
