How Long Before They Introduce Tithing?

by pale.emperor in

when i was a full-on believing jw i had an obsessive fascination with mormonism.

i read, studied and watched their propaganda with strange interest as well as their apostate mormon books.

i have to say, they have a good scam going claiming that "the lord reintroduced tithing" in the modern age.

Doubter

Lol and I never said jws “ONLY” help each other.

If “lurkers” are learning anything, they’re seeing the intolerance and verbal abuse ex-jws are dishing out.

Nice for the truth to be on display.

I don’t believe there is anything that states, in the US anyway, that an organization must provide shelters and other social programs to qualify for tax exemption. That would be overt discrimination as not all charitable organization provides the same type of services, nor are they all the same.

Sanchy, tell me how disassociating in 2003 and coming back in 2014 is anywhere near your assertions? So if you want to keep diverting this discussion, be my guest.

Many jws are born in, 66 percent of them leave, so flip a coin.

IFT

Take that up with the IRS. They granted WT tax-free status. If you think they are not meeting the requirements, then it should be easy to have their tax-status revoked.

Doubter

Well, you’re partially correct, dubby. They don’t have any social programs that help people in that regard.

They do not need them. Jws take care of themselves and each other. They only require the organization for their religious doctrine/training.

Why do you want them depending on the org for sustenance?

Will that only increase the alleged “control” you seem to loathe so much?

Doubter

I actually am entertained. Quite honestly, it is fascinating to me how alleged long-time ex-jws don’t appear (or at least play dumb to scare the public) to understand basic stuff all of a sudden.

That is really fascinating. I can’t get that anywhere else.

Now, to address why WT doesn’t go get govt money to offer social service is because (1) they don’t need it, and (2) they are not a social service organization or have any social services arms.

That’s like asking why doesn’t the Red Cross go get govt funding to open bloodless surgery hospitals.

That’s not what they do.

Yes, I am very happy to admit I was wrong in my speculation.

Sanchy,

Calm the heck down. Re read my post. I said “it stands to REASON”, meaning, you can draw a logical conclusion. I didn’t make a factual statement. I also used the word “probably”, meaning I am speculating. I am happy to admit that.

Thank you.
