  The WT and GB compared to Catholics before the reformation.

  2. bible

  i just read this article about luther and i'll quote a paragraph.

  it's interesting how you can substitute a few words and see it identical to the wt.

  now let me substitute pope and catholic church for governing body and watchtower...... .

  i can sympathize with you in the feeling of a measure of uncertainty that you experience.

  Watchtower Inc. 100 Henry Street Links to MANY other Suspect Companies

  by objectivetruth in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  there have been a few posts in the past about watchtower inc. at 100 henry street, but i do not see the answer i'm hoping for.. can anyone confirm or provide details linking watchtower inc. to the wbts?

  they are across the street, and one can easily assume that they are connected, but i don't see any definite links.. the closest i have come is this link: http://www.insideview.com/directory/watchtower-inc which lists watchtower.org as the website.

  this could have been posted like this in error however.. according to 2014 sec filings watchtower inc. has a ceo named sholom drizin ( a man worth possibly 2 billion.).

  @JustVisiting. comments like charging the WTBS with human trafficking make us all sound like a bunch of conspiricy nuts. They do enough wrong that we can prove without that kind of stuff

  a non jw relative who is a staunch critic of the wt attends the memorial with us every year, but just because she enjoys worshiping with her relatives.

  she fought against my parents becoming witnesses before i was born.

  she owns the book 30 years a wt slave and suggested i read it.

  I asked my wife and she thought they did annouce how many partook last year. Does anyone have access to the outline from the society for this years memorial talk? I would be very curious to see if it is mentioned in the outline.

  For those who did attend. Did they annouce at the hall you went to or was this just a single event?

  @Whathappened. - Do you have any proof of a member of the GB driving a Bently? I would be very interested in that. Which member, what year car, who paid for it etc.

  i posted this 10 years ago.

  here is an updated version fresh for the 2012 holidays :.

  1. jehovahs witnesses claim to have no clergy and hence are supposed to be totally unlike christendoms' rulers who get special reverence and lord it over their brothers.

  Is this new donation arrangement for real?

  by nugget in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just read a post on jwsurvey about the new donation arrangement.

  congregations are to pledge a monthly amount to be sent to the society to fund the building of assembly halls and kingdom halls.

  congregations who already have a loan from the society will no longer have to pay back the loan but the amount pledged should not be less than the current monthly repayments to the society.

  @Bella - My wife told me they passed a form like that around at her hall last year. I do believe it is accurate.

  ...when i told them i didn't believe anymore.

  they cried like i'd never seen before.

  my oldest, 10, pleaded with me that she'd do anything to get me to keep going to meetings ("i'll get a's on my report card!").

  Ugggh. I feel your pain. My advice for what it is worth, go very slowly. Make sure they know without a doubt that you love them. Be a good person and be the best father you can be they will come around.

  I have always been very close with my daughter, closer than most Dads. I stopped going to meetings several years ago. She goes with her mother. Things were ok until a couple of years ago, she is now in her mid-teens (a difficult time in any parents life) and will soon be getting baptized.

  I don't really have a problem with baptism in general, however I do have a big problem with baptism into this organization. This means I will have to go to a circut assembly, my first in several years, to be there for her.

  Believe me, I am NOT looking forward to this at all but she needs to know I will always be there for her, and I will. Even if I don't want to.

  Just remember you are still their father, they will still love you. I think it is best just to do a good fade and not get the whole DF thing mixed in.
