  JW org collapses

  ok so this is a topic i've pondered and go back and forth on.. i can easily see a point where lawsuits cause massive deficits in the organization.

  honestly i feel like we are seeing the tip of the iceberg in regards to lawsuits on child abuse.

  to me it looks like the property sell offs are to be able to get ready for this.

  Well, I for one know that WT can potentially collapse.

  I just believe relatively paltry sums of money, like the world famous 4K/day fine, will never do it.

  Lol nice come back, really. I did like that, so much so I upvoted it.

  But in all seriousness, child abuse cases *can* bankrupt jws into a collapse. The question is: will they?

  Seeing how people gave been uttering “this is the tip of the iceberg” since really the turn of the century, it won’t cause them to to collapse.

  Some also thought we were seeing the “tip of the iceberg” going 18 years ago:

  Got a timeline on when we should expect to see the rest of the iceberg?

  Why have we been seeing only the “tip” for going on 20 years now?

  How Long Before They Introduce Tithing?

  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.

  Morph,

  Have you read any of my comments? Then you would have known I unequivocally stated that WT as an organization DOES NOT provide social services of any sort.

  My exchange with IFT was regarding help of a personal nature from individual jws.

  So please don’t call me a “liar” in this context.

  So what does helping someone with social services like food, shelter, money, have to do with child abuse?

  IFT,

  Note: I said “help”, not take care of. They help anyone with a need.

  You are responsible for taking care of yourself if you’re able-bodied. Even the govt recognizes this, as they are now again, forcing able-bodied people to work part time in order to qualify for federal aid.

  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.

  IFT,

  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.
