EIE of course! I have no way to prove any of it, just our personal experience.

JW profit from disasters
by enoughisenough insome time back i questioned about jw making money from doing relief work for disasters.
i found this story on reddit and also noted some of the replies.
it makes me wonder how many would have left their own jobs and paid their way, giving free labor and some supplying free materials if they had know what was going on behind the scenes.

Magnum we find ourselves going down that angry path more often than we would like. We think about the homes, cars, time, and just straight up $$ we have thrown at the org. We are horrified we spent the prime income producing years of our lives driving around rural Appalachia in a Buick pioneering with people we couldn’t stand.
EIE we too were so embarrassed by the complete lack of empathy to anyone that was a non JW. We had so much food there onsite including a full on dessert display refrigerator stocked with all kinds of cakes and pies. The kitchen volunteers tossed anything that was more than three days old. The homeless would try and dig through the trash and the brothers always shooed them off.

My husband and I were involved with the Katrina relief work out of the Kenner hub. We saw massive fraud. The org was constantly getting donated materials dropped at the KH like sheet rock, lumber, etc from Home Depot and other suppliers. We were rooming with another couple, he was in the accounting and she was in the food department. He would tell us about the donations and processing the friend’s insurance claims. I wish I paid more attention at the time but we were deeply PIMI and it was long, hot days of work. We had a very strange situation with the meals on site.
The “brother” in charge of the kitchen was short tempered and would yell loudly at the sisters prepping the food and cussed a lot! It made things very tense and the sister would often come back to the house we were sharing in tears. But as usual we all covered it over and reassured each other it was due to the stressful assignment. Oddly the same foul brother was running a side hustle from the site. He had hats and T-shirts printed up with JW Disaster Relief and would sell them to the volunteers. He was very pushy about it (we even bought them to make him shut up) and claimed it was to support his volunteer efforts. He would hang the hats and stuff right on the KH kitchen trailer with pricing in full view of all the overseers and no one said a word the entire time. We often wonder what was really going on - who was he really?
Anyway we felt we were doing a good thing and glossed over so many strange things. Here we were a big, noisy group that would roll up on a residential street and basically take over, parking multiple trucks and trailers in front of the neighbors homes. When the homeless would ask for food (there were so many displaced after the storm) we would turn them away even though we had tons of food. As a group we were anything but charitable. So many things from that experience that still bother us.

JW-God's channel of communication
by enoughisenough inthe faithful slave is considered god's channel of communication.
( though not inspired of god ) does anyone else find the use of the word channel interesting in this regard?
from where i am sitting it denotes spiritism.

New blood card system in March
by Indoubtbigtime inthere is going to be a hole new system of blood cards this march .
the congregation won’t hold any information as they did before from march it will be all put on the pub.
i think it’s to do with vaccines and they are worried now they got everyone vaxed and they want to distance themselves from medical responsibilities and say own personal decisions.

Don’t worry Elena - the multi vxd will resolve itself. Keep getting boosters - won’t be long now.
BTW my primary work is with the vxd injured including many JWs still trying to hide their injuries so they don’t sound like they’re critical of the GB.

Thoughts on annual meeting “new light”
by FFGhost inso, i finally saw the annual meeting video part 2.. this is the one with the “new light” on who might survive armageddon, vs. those who do not.. in summary, for those of you fortunate enough not to have to sit through it, it’s something like this:.
old light: once the “great tribulation” starts, that’s it for non-jws.
the “door of the ark” is closed.

Tried to have this discussion last night with a PIMI / PIMQ friend. The lengths they will go to defend the GB is mind boggling. At one point she literally said “that’s not what he means - you have to read between the lines”. WTF? If this is Gods spokesman why is it up to me to read between the lines?! Shouldn’t they be clear about what they’re saying? I gotta hand it to the GB and whoever else is pulling the strings in the org - they have created a bullet proof mindset in the faithful! Impressive 👏👏

Changed behavior of the governing body on the topic of “vaccinations” in the Covid era
by Pedro ini'm looking for an explanation why the gb has made a radical change on the issue of vaccinations.
was there pressure from outside?
were there any financial or other benefits to promoting experimental genetic therapy?.

Elena I’m so sorry to hear that! We woke up at the start of the GB updates and were horrified to see so many of our friends and family run to get the vx solely because of the GB. May I ask what you saw that finally woke you up?

Just two new hires - company men. Same as the COs now. Gone are the days of the sweet old brother and his wife that everyone knows and loves. For the last 15+ years these guys show up from out of nowhere, no one has ever heard of them or knows anyone that does, they serve like robots - cold and perfunctory, and then gone. We literally had a CO come straight from his CIA career and when he was done with our circuit he returned to D.C. for his next “assignment”. Sure - not fishy at all.

If it walks like a 🦆 and quacks like a 🦆it’s probably a 🦆
They’re never gonna come out and admit it - that’s the whole nature of how these things work. They depend on your ignorance and denial while they know exactly what they are doing. Remember it’s one big club…

Good for you seeing what they’re putting right in front of our faces. They’re showing us who they are and mocking the followers at the same time.
