Thanks Flipper! I have always enjoyed you on here. I don't respond too much when I read yours and other post. I know we never gave the watchtower the right to use our donations for payment to settle child abuse cases. I read on here that they have many loopholes that legal jumps through.I guess its just like the catholic church/ Vatican does with its donations also. As does wall street in the scams and misuse of funds meant for other causes. Blueblades

Stealing From The Worldwide Work Fund.
by Charles Gillette inall the money paid out by the watchtower to the child abuse law suits comes from the worldwide work fund or the contributions from the monies given for the kingdom hall real estate.
so,when we were actively involved donating funds for this purpose,and the watchtower used those funds for purposes other than the worldwide work are they not guilty of stealing funds that were donated for jehovah's kingdom.
can anything legal be done about this?

Can anything legal be done about this? The reason I ask is if they had to return those funds back that they took from Jehovah's Kingdom, where would the monies that they had to pay out for the child abuse law suits come from?Am I smelling Bankruptcy? Misuse of funds? Or, nothing will ever happen about this. Thanks for your thoughts. Blueblades

New Letter: Announcements and Reminders
by Brian J inletter dated 1/1/2018.
i know they are trying to simplify but it all is such a confusing mess.... forms, dates, calculators, committees, logins, publisher record cards.....jesus would barf.
to all bodies of elders re: announcements and reminders dear brothers: in an effort to reduce the number of letters sent to all bodies of elders and congregations, most announcements from the branch office will now be conveyed to congregations by means of the announcements and reminders (s-147) form.

Talking Janet Jackson and Religious Freedom with the Wife
by OnTheWayOut inmy recent sidewalk discussion with a couple of jw's has gotten me in the mood to say more when appropriate.so the wife and i were riding in the car and cat stevens comes on.
i mentioned to her that cat stevens left music when he was still popular and converted to islam back in the 1970's- how he was told that his music would have to be morally acceptable and he found it easier to just abandon making new music for at least 20 years.
so i didn't really remember all the details and i figured the conversation would die.

There is no "CARROT". Through all the 33 years I was a Watchtower Slave, the carrot was always held out,but never able to be reached. One date after another and it is still being dated. Look up ahead the carrot is right in front of you,soon, sooner, near, nearer. Do you know what that "CARROT" is? Tell me, because I reached for it for 33 years, then woke up. From 1969 until 2002. From when I was 29 years old in my prime until I turned 57 years old. I finally realized "There is no "CARROT". I am now 72 years old and have lived the last 15 years without fear concerning not having the carrot.

One Question to ask any JW that will blow their end times out of the water
by maccauk inask any jw this one question.
are there any apostles from the 1st century still walking the earth alive today ?.

Maccauk. You getting all this from god or his book or jesus or did you debunk all the other holy books that make other claims from their gods? Just asking, because if you were born in Japan or India or Isreal or Iraq etc. What would you be proclaiming as your reality/ Just asking no worries. Not looking for an augument just historical reality and some science behind your thinking. Afterall everlasting life is on the line according to what you say here.I DON'T BELIEVE A WORD OF IT. I was a watchtower slave for 33 years and served in many areas even eating with the past dead governing body members. Now don't get yourself in a uproar just give be some real proof of what you are preaching here. I'm in my seventies now with one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel. Can you help me out,you would be the first one. As Elvis would say,Thank You Thank You very much. If you can't I understand.

"For God Loved the World so much that he gave his only Begotten Son in order that ....faith ..not destroyed ..everlasting life.
by smiddy inor is their an inconsistency / contradiction here somewhere .?
in genesis god allows satan after deceiving the first human pair to go relatively unpunished for thousands of years interacting between heaven and earth at will.. the so called punishment is not to take effect until thousands of years later.. in the meantime .. the wager ( ?
) between jehovah and satan over jobs loyalty in question ,and obviously satan still having communication with god in the heavens.

Also,when Adam and Eve disobeyed God,He immediately punished them.When Jesus paid the ransom He did not act immediately.He has not to this day released mankind from Adam and Eve's sin. Why not? Because,none of this story is true.If it was, we should be free, paradise should have been restored as soon as Jesus paid the ransom.However,let me repeat. The story does not make sense.The evidence for this account just is not there. Blueblades
