  WT Society SEC Records : Hedge Funds, Cayman Islands, Financial Losses - Links

  by flipper in

  2. scandals

  so my wife and i were curious so i researched some financial links and found records indicating that the wt society has been operating at a loss since the year 2012. as you read the links it shows a loss of 10 million $$$ in 2012, about 16 million $$$ in 2013, and a whopping loss of 56 million $$$ in 2014 - where the expenditures exceeded the revenues for each of those years in the amount i've mentioned.

  also there is a link on this same website with the sec records indicating that the wt society and it's representatives funneled 40 million $$$$ into hedge funds in the cayman islands as early as 2007. if you look online on other sites you can see evidence that indicates the wt society attended hedge fund conferences to look into more shadiness in 2011 and isn't it curious that by 2012 the wt society started showing losses.

  anyway here is the link : https://www.watchtowerlies.com/the_watchtower_revenue.html .. feel free to check this link out and other links on that link indicating the cayman island connection.

  Here is the link for the Watch Tower of Canada revenue

  Expenses

  · Gifts to other registered charities and qualified donees $35,921,399 (30%)

  These charities are local Kingdom Halls. They lend them the money to remodel or construct then the members have to pay back the loans, then the member give the title to the Watchtower.

  What a great Business. And non-taxable. There is no way they will be bankrupt. They are just going through a temporary cash flow problem

  Ha Ha, thanks, I heard they lost millions Aug 24 2015 but I have no confirmation. Who was managing their money, some pioneer with a high school diploma?

  The End Is Near...

  by freemindfade in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so we all know and are seeing that as the org is taking some kind of financial beating it is being interpreted, either by design or not, that armageddon is coming any second now.

  well from our vantage point we can see the only end that may be near is for the publishing company itself, wtbts, and not the world.

  its sickening to hear loved ones and friends say this, that this means the desert god is coming to wipe out most of humanity.

  Jesus said "No one knows the day or hour" so if Jesus exists in the spirit realm somewhere,

  what is he doing as he sees the WT in trouble?

  Are Circuit Overseers next?

  by Londo111 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  last year saw the elimination of the district overseer...and circuit overseers now must retire at 70. how long until the circuit overseer is no more?

  of course, the role might still exist, they would simply not get paid.

  they would have to care for their own expenses.

  CO's are the ones that keep tabs on the accounting of each Kingdom Hall. That's the first thing they do when they visit the Hall. Meet with the PO or as they are called now Coordinator and check the financial books to see how much money they are collecting in contributions. So they may cut the CO force, but they will always have some of them working to keep a tight grip on the money being donated.

  They are like the IRS auditors who make sure the TAX is being paid.

  At least that's what the CO's use to tell me when I was the PO.

  This will be another disappointment that will eventually wake another group. as the next year rolls by and so on and no Armageddon, disillusionment will continue. So believe witnesses, the more you set yourselves up for disappointment over false ends, the more wake up!

  The decline of an empire. It has happen in the past with stronger organizations and stronger governments, why not a puny organization that holds less than 1 percent of the world's population.

  And you are correct, the waking up occurs in spurts. This event will start the waking up for several thousand world wide. And we all know it a process that takes time. So in about a year or two of research, it will occur to many--WTF.

  Then they will be posting their experiences on this site for us to read.

  All It Takes Is ONE!

  ive been reading all these posts about bethelites and special pioneers being kicked out in the street and being forced to get a job to provide for themselves..

  and im trying to put myself in their situation and feel the emotions that must be going through their mind.

  what if my wife and i both dropped out of school to pioneer and got married at 18. and what if we were very faithful in listening to everything the organization says.

  clarity

  Well John ...I am with you .....not your story I hope

  Not my story, but I know several, especially sisters who gave up everything and are now hitting their 70s and all alone and living in a dingy place. Some of them have asked me; "What happened, why is the New Order not here yet" I just feel absolutely furious they did this to them. Now can you imagine all the Special Pioneers they are firing who are approaching elderly status?

  Maybe these experiences will act to dissuade others in future from making the same mistakes. But I doubt it

  I hope your wrong, I really hope experience after experience keeps being posted on the internet. And movies and news stories on TV keep popping up. The more experiences are floating around, the more exposure to the WT. And the more exposure, the stronger the case is made that the WT is revealed for what it really is-----A Dangerous Cult.
