  Who Really Profits from the WTBTS?

  by Freedom77 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  like they say in the movies, "follow the money.

  " the thought occurred to me the other day - the wt scam rakes in billions of dollars, and yeah some of that goes to operations and equipment.

  but bethelites at farm and factory get only a bare little dorm room and a monthly pittance.

  @ Freedom....everybody who worked at branches, missionary-homes, NY and Patterson, like myself, would say the same: don't make yourself ridiculous on this forum, please.

  There are no high-end condos, luxury cars ( unless you consider a Chevy, Buick or other US brand luxury, no offense), and what is a 3 or 4 grand Rolex?

  Every organisation Needs cars, they are not for the GB, stop your fetisj, they are for transportation, they transported me and my wife when we needed medical help in Patterson, we were brought by a driver in one of your luxury american piece of 15000 dollar s...

  If you really think the society is doing this, it tells more about yourself and your life.....

  Your fairy-tales don't exist!!!! You are telling things without the slightest knowledge nor experience...blablabla

  circuit overseer worship

  by Magnum in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for over thirty years i observed among jws the phenomenon of co worship/idolatry.

  i, myself, was somewhat guilty of it even though i rather quickly caught on and detected something wrong.. think about the week of the co visit.

  during that week most attention is given to and most thought is about the co. the supposed sovereign of the universe takes a backseat.

  Who's guilty? Nobody has the obligation, do they? It's the stupid average people who does so.

  I know 2 of the Elders on the Ray Franz JC

  by James Jackson in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  when i read coc, i was stunned that the 2 elders (theotis french & rob dibble) were on ray franz judcial committee.

  i have known these men for over 20 years having done rbc and convention work with them.

  they are still elders today which means they were in their early 30's(which is unheard of for a case of this importance to have inexperienced elders to sit on) on this committee.. without revealing myself, i have never tried(but have wanted to), ask them about their on having to judge a former gb member.. then out of the blue, about a year ago, i was mentioning how hard it is trying to get younger ones to volunteer to one of these elders, and he says"this is nothing compared to to sitting on the committee that had to disfellowship ray franz".

  [quote] man (PO in Scottsboro) were involved with the investigations that led to Ray Franz coming before the JC. So why were these highly qualified Elders not on the Judicial Committee? [/quote]

  The only reasons I can think of is A. They were easy to be programmed on fore-hand to handle as wished. B. The more experienced elders didn't like to burn their fingers on that case. C. The others didn't believe in having enough biblical reasons to start the case. D. They wanted to insult Ray.

  in east and south asian thought, lotus flowers have a symbolic significance.

  the plant grows in mud, but produces a flower of great beauty.

  in a time of darkness, it can become a symbol of hope:.

  Sorry we write something in dutch...

  Ja en dat eeuwige gezeur over de vliegreizen en auto's van vijftienduizend dollar waar wij niet eens gratis in willen rijden. Ik ben eens in zo'n rammelbak vervoerd, toen wij in Patterson waren en het genootschap ons naar een ziekenhuis moest brengen, dat doe je eentachtigjarige niet graag aan.
