I got ripped off by the the Witnesses and I was on their side! When it comes to money, JWs are just as bad as anything they preach against, seen too many Witnesses get ripped off by their fellows. So, do you think they should keep the theft only in the Kingdom Hall or share it with non-Witnesses?

Once Again: It's Okay for JWs to Rip-Off Non-JWs
by Iown Mylife intoday i heard from the owner of a small restaurant, the story of how a brother in a local congregation ripped him off for thousands.
the restaurant owner is not a jw but totally familiar with the cult, as his mother is a long-time baptized sister.
she asked him to hire this wonderful brother from her congregation to do construction work he needed at his house.

I don't know about the policy in your area but the Watchtower has been pushing hard to turn ever Kingdom Hall with extra land to turn it in to a Kingdom Hall Senior Resthome, sisters with Nursing experienced are being called to work at Bethel to wipe the asses of the Men of Fame! Soon, in the United States if or if not the local ordinances allow it, they will have a Kingdom Hall Apartment (Resthome) on each lot! The Organization has placed a great burden on their sheep to fund the company men. The Allowance given to the Brothers is around $700 USD, what a large amount to live off! I guess it's more than what the Republicans are allowing for Food Stamps, they want to cut the poor down to $250 a month. Weird World we live in!

I agree it's not true, you might have super righteous members of your Kindom Hall who desire this to happen but the Watchtower would lose 1/3 of it's role!
I hear many complaints the Friends who leave the Organization are soon forgotten after six months, so maybe if you are part of the JWs who the Congregation wants out of sight, they will treat you this way. We had many comment on the treatment they received after starting to Fade, some Friends here had people show up, others never saw a JW again! Weird Funky Organization, don't you think? Their intense lack of love might as well be made public in a letter stating "Treat Inactive Members like Gentiles, Harlots and Tax-Collectors!"
I agree with Vidiot, there are so many ultra-righteous JWs who are treating Faders like a Partial DF'ed Member, what a evil group of Haters!
Kate Wild, if you saw the conduct of many of the Witness High Religious Rollers, they would make the Pharisees blush with envy! Heavy Drinking, popping Oxycontin, Xanax, Valium, Wine, Heavy Drink while they judge the Faders of Death! I recall a couple wanting to hire a Stripper to teach some JW Newlyweds how to have a good time, the other Witnesses wanted to go in on a Stripper Pole. These are the people who say they are clean, they are spiritually disgusting before Jah God and Jesus Christ!
" Funny though ones that seem to be doing the shunning are participating in immoral activities, like getting drunk and going on the ministry with a hang over and fornication. Hypocrites, they are living double lives and shunning. What a load of nonesense I say"

True blondie, I am still waiting on Jehovah for the Pedophile who troubled my family to get the same punishment "Robby from the Judicial Video" got, the Pedophile kept his secrets longer than Robby, he was a Bethelite while he was doing it. How come the Watchtower did not punish him for sexual abuse, instead they used a lame ass excuse to remove him and put the Pedophile notes in his Publisher Card. Strange how a boy is removed for fornication but a man who is guilty of the Death Penalty under the Mosiac Law walked away only losing his Elderhood because the Organization was too afraid of him acting up and getting sued. The Watchtower never brought justice, they made my life worse by not expelling the Child Rapist!

Something I was thinking about today was all the people I thought were very "spiritual" who ended up being the biggest frauds in life. It hurt to see the people the Congregation said were "Good people" getting arrested for corruption. The Watchtower had us judging Christendom while we were suppose to ingore all the wickedness happening in the Organization. Who was not a hypocrite while trying to become justified by the Organization? I am trying to destroy all traces the Borg has inculcated in my mind, it's really hard removing decades of false teachings and shitty people out of your life. I think of people who were quick to accuse the weak members not living up to their expectations while they excused or down played the sins of immorality, disobedience and pathological lying their Shining Witnesses were guilty of. This religion is a breeding ground of hypocrisy and feeds a large population of people who want to tell everyone else how good they are, "if you don't believe how good I am, look at my Field Service Card!".

EVIDENCE CONVENTION-ATTENDANCES ARE IN DECLINE?
by steve2 inthere are many threads on this forum about the stultifying tedium of the conventions.
memories of one convention merge with every other convention over the years with few sticking out as high points.. in recent years, there have been lots of anecdotal reports (primarily from western countries) of an astonishingly low number of baptismal candidates at these conventions, and in particular district conventions - especially compared to the higher numbers who presented for baptisms in earlier decades.
is this decline also reflected in general attendances at the conventions?.

In 2013, I know two Convention Centers were half-filled, the brothers were planning on these Conventioned being "packed to capacity", we don't get the numbers locally so the Watchtower would not be quick to share a declining D.C. attendance because this would show they are losing their relevance. Good Post Steve, always enjoy your insights and wisdom!

Active JW's, can you defend "THE TRUTH?"
by DATA-DOG inas of yet, no member of the jehovah's witness faith can defend their unique beliefs.
when the dust settles, it all comes down to blind faith in men's ever-changing ideas.
this "unique belief" was not a "true teaching of the bible.

ProblemAddict: This answer they provided you, me and all the Friends is not satisfying, it's very disheartening to have bad men tell you to "Wait on Jehovah" eventually it morph's in to "Wait on Jehovah's Organization to clear this matter up!" meanwhile the friends are suffering from the false doctrine, bad conduct of power starved men and women trying to control their fellow! I witnesses members, people who waited decades for justice only to die a spiritual death of Watchtower size disappointment. The Friends who were waiting for clarification, truth and justice end up leaving the Watchtower because of the lies!
"Jehovah is using imperfect men, and they will make mistakes. However, to go against them is to go against God, since his son is in firm control. So while they can be wrong, and be forgiven, you will be held accountable for going against Jehovahs annointed." -

What if we could castrate the sex-offenders so they don't hurt anyone else? It seems every week we are coming across old Witnesses who are active Elders who practice "Child Rape" while ruling as "princes" in the Watchtower's Spiritual Paradise. I would like to make their "Pedophile Paradise" more public, how do we get the word out the Kingdom Halls are not safe places for the children?

Is Jesus Christ Your Mediator? Watchtower's Position is Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit!
by RottenRiley in2. p. 363; emphasis added) .
(ibid., p. 362; emphasis added) .. to say jesus is mediator only for the 144,000 is actually to deny the possibility of forgiveness of sins for any others.

The Mahatma Gandi words about Jesus Christ are a different take from the usual words we hear. I think the following thoughts might provide a fresh outlook.
What percentage of JWs do you think actually know Jesus Christ did not die for them? They are guilty of the sins of denying Jesus Christ because they are too lazy to review their belief system and challenge a stagnant worship system that's long dead of spirituality!
"
Although this may or may not be true in my case, I have reasons to believe that it is an erroneous point of view. I believe that such an estimate is incompatible with the message that Jesus Christ gave to the world. For, he was certainly the highest example of one who wished to give everything, asking nothing in return, and not caring what creed might happen to be professed by the recipient. I am sure that if he were living here now among men, he would bless the lives of many who perhaps have never even heard his name, if only their lives embodied the virtues of which he was a living example on earth; the virtues of loving one’s neighbour as oneself and of doing good and charitable works among one’s fellowmen.
What, then, does Jesus mean to me? To me, he was one of the greatest teachers humanity has ever had. To his believers, he was God’s only begotten Son.* Could the fact that I do or do not accept this belief make Jesus have any more or less influence in my life? Is all the grandeur of his teaching and of his doctrine to be forbidden to me? I cannot believe so.
To me, it implies a spiritual birth. My interpretation, in other words, is that in Jesus’ own life is the key of his nearness to God; that he expressed, as no other could, the spirit and will of God. It is in this sense that I see him and recognize him as the Son of God."

William J. Schnell

This Elder I know worked at Bethel for 40 years and said with a happy voice, Schnell, he died in a Insane Assylum! I was young and dumb, now that I reflect on his statement, he was happy Schnell died such a undignified death, his sources were Bethel, all I can share is what came from a man who was very credible and knew Mr. Schnell's life after writing his book destroyed him, he ended up "Poor and under great duress in a mental hospital.". It's sad this Elder was happy how things went, so much for praying for your enemy!
The Elder who said this, he died "poor and under great duress himself", he was living off the Government even though he never paid taxes in his life!
