Don't hold back with your valuables, poor brothers and sisters. Jehovah needs MORE MONEY for "Kingdom Halls".
F*cking charlatans.
who do you believe is financially benefiting from watchtower business dealings.
i know about the gold apple watch, but that is only a small percentage of the billions that they have.
so who do you think is keeping all of this money.

just curious how we all think.. what prompted or influenced your choice of username for this forum?.
there are some really amazing names, and it would be great to hear the stories behind them.... mine was nothing fancy.
i just felt "stuck in a rut too" along with so many others.
Pretty self explanatory and a warning to every potential JW who's having their minds lulled to sleep by the WT. Plus, who else's elders give them the jitterbugs? *shudders*
@Compound Complex We're in the same line of work! Fellow writer and editor here!
i was pretty young in 1975, all i remember was a few complaining at the hall after and those at the door that razed us over it.
does anyone remember how they went about denying it and when this started.
i do remember a scripture in psalms about people being mighty and living longer so this was used.
@Crazyguy Just got a 911 distress call from the Governing Body up at Warwick. A transcript of the conversation is below:
this 5 minute ted video perfectly explains what a cult it.
it does not mention jws, but perfectly aligns with them.
it is put in a manner that would make some understand why jws are considered a cult.
@Vidiot I watched it with my JW filter on and already tuned out after I saw the depiction of one human leader. "We serve Jehovah! The Governing Body are just humble servants - they're hardly 'at the top'" my inner cult identity shouted in defense of the organization. Indoctrinated Witnesses can't see basic, irrevocable evidence when it stares them in the face. What chance do they have when it comes to applying secular material to their own organization? The only time they'd accept anything from the outside is if the Governing Body chews it first then vomits it into the members' mouths. THEN they'll swallow it gratefully.
....................then you couldn't have been "in the truth" nor was "the truth in you" until july 2013, because that month's watchtower was dedicated to reversing the following 8 "truths" and replacing them with opposing "truths".
you'd been believing and teaching falsehoods.. these are for any new members and those j.w.
's who visit here who have not seen this list before.
@darkspilver That all seems a bit too cerebral for me to take in. I guess I can attribute that muddy puddle mixed with confused neurons in my skull to my JW upbringing.
Nothing.
Makes.
Sense.
But preach the word, nevertheless.
we were just musing that jws act in a "flirtatious" manner with people in the community.. they show such "sincere" interest in people when they call.
they seem like such kind, caring and thoughtful people - really interested in their lives and welfare.. people are often quite impressed with the jws manner, and their well dressed presentation.
people (especially vulnerable ones who are going through difficult pressures in life), are drawn in and made to feel special by the witnesses as they call back.. return visits take place.
The smug faces of Witnesses who brag about bagging a Bible study reminds me of the smirk you'd see on a guy's face after just getting to second base.
JW.org should start marketing blue and white rubbers. "Spiritual protection" in these last days because sexually transmitted "pestilences" are rampant, lol.
elders ,co ,do ,branch overseers ,gb ,missionaries has "sinful" lust got the better of them..
But guys.... it's all about making the best out of an "imperfect" organization.
I've heard Alexandra James from JWvictims.org say this before: "I've known a lot of imperfect men in my time. But this... this isn't imperfect. This is SICK."
can someone please help me find the video from the society regarding not advancing children's talents?
it's about a child who is very good at something musical and has been invited to participate in a special advanced course but his father explains how that is worldly thinking.
something along those lines..
@zeb When I was an active Witness, I can truly say that the happiest moment in an assembly was when the drama... ended.
it's nearly a job for life if you don't literally fu.. up..
@stuckinarut2 WHO??? You can use initials and I'll try work it out. I feel like the adjectives you listed (shonky, lying, dishonest, domineering husband, etc) is part of the elder criteria, though...?
i think the swamp would empty overnight .
@no-zombie There's no way the Governing Body is interested in weeding out the unbelievers. Those men CLING to the numbers like a kidnapper clings to its hostages who have seen their attacker's face and can easily report them if set free.
