More money and meeting with 3 elders

by Foolednomore in

jw
friends

so, we had this meeting with 3 elders ( larry, moe and curly) my uncle who is the lawyer sat in the room and stayed quiet, and fact for 40 minutes we let them talk.

we would just sit there.

they went into along winded monolog about how the world is in bad shape and getting worst.

They where on the edge of the chair as my uncle cross examined them with questions. For once they where in the hot seat. Watching them in their uncomfortable state as my uncle took over, was very comical and eye opening about them.

while back, not here on this net i don't remember.

i predicted that watchtower would allow you to buy your way into the kingdumb.

does anyone find this interesting?.

Vidiot- yes I would agree with that. If Watchtower would loose it's wonderful tax exempt status worldwide this would be a panic for them. Time will tell.

No funeral

by road to nowhere in

i have run across another jw death where the final wishes are for no service.

3rd or 4th instance.

another wanted a celebration of life which the elders squelched as far as i know.

My Father's Funeral was a Joke. The first five minutes where about my Dad, then the remainder was all about What the Org can do. And if you use to be in the Org you need to hurry up and get back into the Org. There was alot of non Jw's at my Dad's service. And some of us where in a group outside talking that this was just a "Plug" for this group to get new members. And how very tacky it was to use a dead member's family to have to listen to that crap.

More and likely Watchtower will be an all TV online thing with occasional big conventions in major towns. And it will be pay to play church. Nickel and dime for everything. Donate, Donate will be just the tip of the iceberg. A full TV pay to view network.

Watchtower looses Norwegian Appeal

by Diogenesister in

watchtower has just lost its appeal in the norwegian courts over the withdrawal of the funding it receives from the government as an officially recognised religion.

the initial decision will now stand due to what the court termed 'exclusionary practices' which includes the witnesses barbaric practice of shunning minors, even by family members in their own homes.

the ministry of children and families have decided they are now no longer eligible for the state grant of 16 million norwegian kroner given to officially recognised religions.. the following is a statement has been issued, i have summarised if it isn't readable: .

This is good news! The governments of the world should wise up an tax them like a business since they are a business. Then they claim they are a charity. Go after them for fraud.

Becoming a JW

by Mum in

jw
friends

i rarely post here, but i often check in.

i used to post on h2o as well.

i think i once posted some of this on h2o, but there are many new ones who have joined since then.. i first encountered jw's at the age of 9. it wasn't in the door-to-door work, however.

No more convention$.

No more field service.

No more Dealing with crazy, nosey, self righteous, gossiping witnesses.

No more worried about being on egg shells if someone sees you do something. I just don't care.
