The Watchtower does it and even it's members do it. Countless articles in their magazines of stories that can't be verified. But even on the local level. My brother and I own an auto repair shop. One pioneer sister on a platform lied and made such an outrageous story how her car was repaired by Geehovah. Little does the audience know she had the money to pay for the the repairs but thought we owed her one since she pioneered.

The JW's greatest dogma...
by BoogerMan in....that god almighty/jesus personally selected j.f.
rutherford & wtbts inc. as a front for worldwide christianity, is an affront to worldwide christians.. the adage, “extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence” was made for such spurious assertions.. as with jw's who claim, "jehovah answered my prayer for......," both claims rely on total credulity, and zero evidence of divine intervention.

When I was young, my parents had a villa and the elders asked my parents to host the CO. The CO and his wife loved staying at the villa for the views. And of course my mother and grandmother would cook up a three course meal. I over heard the CO asking my dad for money. About 15k for the Kingdumb work. My dad never gave in to his request. The next local needs talk by the CO was about materialism. Elders and the CO'S keep coming to the villa. Even after my Dad pass away.

Meeting announcement for emergency contact info of non-JW friends & relatives (?)
by LongHairGal ini just saw this post on reddit and can hardly believe it.. if i remember correctly years back they told you not to have anything to do with non-jw friends or relatives.
they discouraged you from bothering with non-jw family and to avoid them on holidays!!
i needlessly missed out on some delicious holiday meals with people who genuinely cared about me.

The Jw brotherhood is a scam. As long as you tow the line as a Jw you'll have conditional "friends" even those are touch and go. Once you break the many rules or ask too many questions, then those "friends " disappear. But if you have wealth or something they want, they will be a pest in your life.

Thank God I have strict dealings ( no Jw's) involved with any disaster or family issue. In fact all our faded family have clear orders if Jw's come around if their is a death / incident. It's bad enough they come in the deli/bakery of my sisters and ask for euros. Or the ones that show up at my business asking for money or to pitch and ideal to make an investment. What's bad is some of them are clients. I have to give them advice after listening to their story.

Prediction of how Watchtower going to be in 5 Years.
by Foolednomore ini can see it that watchtower will become an online/tv based group with just con-vention hall$.. field service would be letter writing and phone preaching, door to door is done.. watchtower will have pay to view programs and still ask for donations after all that.. zoom meetings are here to stay.
kingdumb halls will be sold off except for con-vention venues, or need for new ones$.. df'ing will continue.
the craziness will continue.

Jw's these days know nothing as to what they believe. They follow a script. Take away the script, they are lost. All they know is Jw.org.

Well, I don't have it anymore. And I hope that it is a car or something else by now. I was youthful when I had it and got into trouble with it. This was over 20 years ago.

I feel the same as you if I lived in the US. Things are so different in Europe. I'm sure I would be packing to defend from crime if I was state side of the world.
