former governing body assistant howie tran has shared his bethel vow of poverty contract.
it reads rather culty.
i think clause number 9 is particularly worrying...to adhere to, not the bible alone, but also the watchtower literature and the governing body.
People will not agree with my above post, but jws have been around for 140 years. Experience tells them (and also tells society as a whole) that without having stuff in writing, people can lie and make stuff up, and as long as it sounds plausible, it will be believed when there are no records or signatures to disprove it.
Every organization is obligated to protect itself. WT is no different in that regard.

Lol — Of course they put in it writing. Then no one can come back and claim they didn’t “know” what they were getting into, or that they were “tricked”.
Its a pesticide against alleged ignorance.
You’d do it to if it you ran an organization.
i would like as many people that can, to respond to this appeal as i am sure their are many examples out their that may help lurkers and fence sitters to make a decision on where they stand regarding the "truth".
i look forward to your comments either negative or plus..
Sanchy, You’re on right path, after refusing to acknowledge they were not all the same.
Now since you know the basics, we can proceed.
The charter you posted and quoted said nothing about DPI NGOs supporting the UN as the pathway to peace and security.
It was what YOU provided.

Sanchy,
All NGOs aren’t even the same? Why are you ignoring this? Does it matter?
Please don’t cop out and say “it doesn’t matter because a even JW walking into the UN building is inappropriate and blasphemous”.
Its lame and subjective take.

Let me revisit my statement. They didn’t directly thank the guardian after re reading it, they instead said they were grateful it was brought to their attention.

If they did threaten to sue, it’s because they were falsely accused.
That’s how you discourage that sort of behavior.

Sanchy,
You said that once already, and you’re wrong. The WT thanked the guardian for bringing the NGO changes to its attention in the 2001 letter, changes that violate their beliefs, and they withdrew.
They THANKED the guardian.
Lol.
But I never really expected you to bring any of this out.
I bet you’re going to say they need a “worldly newspaper” and not Jehovah to tell them those changes.

Sanchy,
You’re not happy I’m here. It’s just makes you feel better saying that, despite your excuse.
An individual JW is free to have affiliation with any organization he wants, granted his association does not require a violation of his beliefs.
But you’re obligated to manufacture hypocrisy, so you’d say anything to make that happen.

Where did I say that charter agreement was not necessary?
I said that the charter doesn’t say what you claim it says. In other words you’re forcefully interpreting it and watchtower articles.
In fact, as I recall, the portion of the charter you showed idid not say that dpi NGOs had to support actively, the United Nations.
so it appears that you’re the one who’s the big liar.
it seems you want to ignore the type of NGO wt was, Or does it really matter?
