Brooklyn Bethel Tours Through The Roof

by freemindfade in

was speaking with someone last night who just recently toured the us bethel's.

the brooklyn tour i heard was awful, very limited and disappointing and conducted by a local pioneer and not even a bethelite.

well from what they are telling the folks on the tour since the tm3 bit encouraging (guilting) people about going to disneyland on vacation when you haven't visited bethel, monthly tours went from 6000 to 16000!

I heard they are implementing a "fast track" system like Disney does. Just kidding,..

Latest and greatest from Warwick

by Warwickslave in

friends

just received two emails .

recently, it was announced that the warwick whq project will be completed by september 1, 2016. with a little less than 10 months left to go on the project, the construction project committee recently met with representatives from all eleven warwick construction groups throughout the u.s. the purpose of this meeting was to determine what can be done to more effectively continue the wonderful progress being made.

as a result, it has been determined that, for the duration of the project, all warwick construction groups will focus on sending experienced, skilled tradespersons who have regularly worked in their trade(s)in a secular environment.

Brandnew,.. Really, you would never fire up a crane for the WTBTS?

Think of all the damage you could do with a hour or so.

Also,..

I would imagine that the WTBTS propaganda machine would add about 6 months to a year for a deadline to any large building project to protect themselves in the case of any extra time the project actually needs to be finished. This would prevent them from the embarrassment of having the members to wonder why Jah would allow his project to take more time than expected. Then if everything goes according to actual time allowed to get the job done, they can come out, as is being done now, and announce that the project is ahead of schedule thanks to Jahs hand in the matter.

Win win!!

A question

by JeffT in

jw
friends

has anybody ever written bethel and just flat out asked for an accounting report on the society's finances?

we all keep batting around speculation about the wtbs and money, and actual information seems non-existent.

what would they do if somebody asked for a financial statement?

Does the name Bernie Madoff ring a bell?

I think that religion is one of the longest running Ponzi schemes known to man,...

Kingdom Consolidation and Sales are coming – Reliable Source

by thedepressedsoul in

i heard form a reliable source that a kingdom hall consolidation is going to be happening in the us.

currently they are looking at every kingdom hall to see if they could and should sell it.

any kingdom hall that has not been updated and is in a bad location (long driveway, not in a visible location etc...) will be sold.

Sounds like the Nov 15th 2013 Watchtower where the Jws were told to prepare to do things that don't make sense from a human standpoint is finally coming true.

IE,.."If so many people are coming into the truth,.... why are we merging congregations and selling kingdom halls?"

You, as an religious corporation, turn out a couple that has just approached their 70s as compared to a couple in their 50s it does not look as bad.

Couldn't take it anymore.

by Darkknight757 in

so i decided yesterday to give my wife's full disclosure.

not sure it was the best decision considering she holds very firmly to the resurrection hope so we can see our babies again.. anyways she is agreeable to begin a study to find a better truth.

where is a good place to go to get some good reliable biblical info on the web that we can consider together?.

notjustyet

Yes on theSkeptics' Annotated Bible.

Leaving the Jws could be compared to leaving your cage but still hanging around in the Zoo looking for another cage to enter.

I would also suggest watching a few (all) of the Darkmatter2525 youtube videos (potty mouth) and also Thermintrees and Qualisoup videos on youtube.

Lets start a "Go Fund Me" for those special pioneers being kicked to the curb by the GB,.

by notjustyet in

lots of great potential to help those sp that are being sent off without any financial help from the wtbts.

i think that it would be a great way to get some exposure on this topic and how the wtbts thats those that dedicated their lives to the wtbts only to be sent packing at a late age.

then someone can take the funds to one sp couple, possibly, and give it to them in honor of the apostates that know what is really happening.

I Don't WANT to donate money to the special pioneer but the upside is just to great to pass up.

Yea they may get 1000 dollars or whatever it is, but the publicity, if it is done right, could equate to so much more of a value to the EXJW cause.

No one wants to get a shot at a Doctors office, but the benefit sometimes outweighs the pain.

Cart witnessing! Dose this mean more accessibility to apostates?

by joe134cd in

i don't know if this has been talked about before but do you think that cart witnessing has made the r&f more accessible to apostates.

why i say this is because if you think of the d2d work the only way that i could make contact with a r&f member would be if they knocked on my door or i was fortunate enough to see them walking down the road, stopped them and began talking.

if it was known that i was an apostate my address would be recorded and no further visits made.. however with the carts it is a completely different story, and it is much harder to walk away particularly in a busy street in the full view of the public.

Talked to several on a trip to Washington DC in the last year.

I was not confrontational as I think that this would do more to drive them into the cult than to help them get out.

If you research "Street Epistemology" as a FB group it can help you with how a conversation could proceed to get the person to think using the Socratic method.

Yes the leverage of the public exposure to the still active Jws will help show that the evil exjws are not what they are being told we are.

Just have to pick an elder SP couple to help out and get some video of the person handing over the money and a short explanation as to why. "We've heard after 40 years of faithful service as a Special Pioneer you are being released from this duty. We also understand that the stipend of 1400 per month is not longer being taken care of and we understand that it takes a while to get back on your feet and we wanted to try to help out with this check"

If pulled off properly it could help many while at the same time take a jab at the GB /WTBTS for kicking them to the curb..

Anyone game for some exposer to the WTBTS like this?
