  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.

  Hey @LisaRose, any song by WHAM! is a better earworm than a Caleb and Sophia jingle.

  Who is benefiting from Watchtower Corporation financially

  by John Davis in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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.

  Rolex would run full page OBC (outer back cover) advertisements for a magazine I used to work at. I've written advertorials on the Submariner collection. The price of the chronograph listed in the above pic is a base rate.The AU conversion takes the price to over $56K of the model Sam Heard is wearing. "Soundness of mind"? I think not. "Fashioned after this system of things"? Considering the majority of "the system" doesn't spring for a watch worth an annual salary, I guess Sam's safe!

  Just a disclaimer: no homophobia intended. I love the gays. If it weren't for them, socially retarded women like myself would have no friends.

  @stuckinarut2 Looolllll. I'm telling you, the Broadcasts couldn't get any gayer than if George Michael was sitting on Stephen Lett's lap stuffing rohypnol up Tony Morris' ass with Samuel Heard's fist.

  @Tight Pants Twinkle Toes There's more to that parallel experience listed on this thread. He TOOK THIS NARK IN when she was going through a spiritually weak time (leading a double life, etc), provided her with employment and privacy when she'd confide in him and his wife. Then THE SECOND she caught a whiff of his critical thinking by trolling through his computer's browser history (when she should have been using it for work purposes), she HEROICALLY reports him and is hailed as a brave, young sister who is now making big strides within the organization. Her resume includes a cameo on the Broadcast, a bethelite spouse and a degree in backstabbing. Bravo, sister. Bravo.

  Kushner paid over 1 billion to WTBTS SO FAR

  by nonjwspouse in

  1. social
  2. current

  in the past few years, kushner cos. and various investment partners have paid the watchtower more than $1 billion for property in brooklyn heights and dumbo.. and there's still more..... http://www.brooklyneagle.com/articles/2017/5/31/first-look-kushner-cos-makeover-jehovahs-witnesses-headquarters.

  yet the r&f can't seem to find the presence of logical mind to question where all that money is spent, when members are struggling financially and continuously asked for more, while being chastised for higher education and holding jobs that might interfere with pioneering.

  ugh .

  It kills me the way I've seen my elderly parents put more than half of their pension EVERY WEEK in the contribution box (a tradition I've Witnessed since I was a little girl) and even more when it's assembly time. My father has a discrete envelope of cash in his suitcase where he puts $20 a week aside in the MONTHS leading up to an assembly. How it hurts my soul when I see WT so carelessly throw away my parents' money for not showing up at court or cooperating with the judges, or for settling sex abuse cases for millions. I have to stop typing because my blood just reached boiling point.

  Don't hold back with your valuables, poor brothers and sisters. Jehovah needs MORE MONEY for "Kingdom Halls".

  F*cking charlatans.

  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*
