Is Watchtower Really A Real Estate Business?

by OneFingerSalute in

i told a still in dubya that the wt was now officially in the real estate buisness.. they looked at me like i had grown a second head.

so i showed them a web site, which they loudly proclaimed to be "apostate".

then i showed them the rest of the web site and asked how long the official jay dubya dot org web site was aligned with an "apostate" web site.. i hate to link that site but as it is somewhat covered up by the dubya's and it may be of some use in making someone think about the money grabs, and the constant begging for more money from those who have little of it for the necessities of life i do so here.

Yes, the person I showed that web site to proclaimed it to be an apostate site, because the Watchtower is not in the real estate business according to them. Then I scrolled down and showed them that it was indeed a real estate office and sales team located at WT headquarters. The address is under the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York Inc. It includes a link to the Jay Dubya dot Org site, and has a copyright of Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania (which I have been told is the official designation of the governing body).

It would appear all the comments that the Big Seven are raking in the $$$$$ to themselves are correct from this. IMO

by Bonnie_Clyde in

jw
friends

just got my annual advertisement from illinois international travel (apparently run by jws).

for $1,199 i can take a tour from september 17-25. why are they printing so much bible literature if the witnesses are supposed to be using tablets?.

saturday: first stop at new yorks newark airport, then transferred to a marriott hotel.

OneFingerSalute

my family goes back 3 generations, 4 if you count my Bible Student grandparents.

Sorry Blondie I have to disagree. According to WT that is only one giant overlapping generation.

"Theocratic Warfare" still alive and well within Watchtower in 2016!

by ILoveTTATT2 in

it seems like the watchtower is still encouraging "theocratic warfare".

in the no.1 watchtower of 2016, they (ironically) printed an article on honesty.here is something they said:"lyingwhat is it?

saying something false to someone who is entitledto know the truth.

OneFingerSalute

I noticed that loophole also.

From now on not one single one of the eldurrs is entitled to the "truth" from me. Another WT printed get out of jail free card that can be thrown back in their faces if they accuse someone of "lying".

Yes? I really enjoyed the end!

Governing Body Letter details things that "have never been done before." - Really?

by cappytan in

jw
friends

[note: copy/pasted this with permission from reddit.].

once each year, the governing body writes a direct letter to the congregation members included in the yearbook.

in his annual message to the catholic faithful (urbi et orbi) delivered on christmas day, the pope spoke about world peace, terrorism, and the refugee crisis.

They had removed their tattoos. . .

Really? From what little I know about tattoo removal it isn't particularly easy to do, let alone by oneself, and involves some measure of discomfort. Maybe the gibbering body thinks all tattoos are like the temporary ones children wear?

Watchtower crackdown on anointed expansion - are they reaching for a solution to the expanding numbers problem?

by slimboyfat in

if this has been discussed i missed it.

i think the january study watchtower is a concerted attempt to reduce the numbers claiming to be anointed.

but i love the sneaky way they go about it this time.

OneFingerSalute

Why is it that this "anointing process" (nice pick up on that term, prologos) has never been described by those who have gone through it?

According to one goofball I knew in the late seventies early eighties, who came from Nigeria it was an angel of fire that appeared to him in a vision amidst many flashes of lightning and thunderclaps that touched him with a scepter of pure white diamonds and specifically told him he was anointed and to start partaking.

I am sure it was that same angel that told him to repeatedly plunge his newborn baby into a tub of ice water whenever it cried, and that he should have many, many sexual partners other than his wife and impregnate them too.

What a f--king loon!

Jehovah’s spirit works with equal force in those who have the hope of living forever on earth.

This statement is one that is worthy of saving. If asked abut the self-proclaimed importance and specialness of the gibbering body one can pull out their own words and throw back in their face.

The really cool feeling of community within JWs

by Phaedra in

i remember going out with other jws after the memorial.. small gatherings.. picnics at some local landmark.. the feeling of closeness, camaraderie, friendship with like minded people you could trust.. haven't experienced it since i left.. really miss that..

OneFingerSalute

JDubya's have a great sense of community. . .however the camaraderie that used to exist in some locations has all but ceased thanks to the insane, idiotic rules about gatherings subtly promoted over the last couple decades by the gibbering body.

Philippians 4: 8 has become one of the most unacknowledged, perhaps even reviled scriptures in the J Dubya arsenal of personal attacks and control. IMO.

pdf.

the date of the letter is october but it was just released today, 2015-12-22..

OneFingerSalute

Locally the congregation voted to spend one thousand dollars for a KH computer. Then just a few months later were quilted into basically sh-t canning it (sold it to a brother) for pennies on the dollar so they could buy the latest, greatest, shiniest new gadget to show their 1984 governing body TV videos. Now they are agitating to get rid of that and "upgrade".

Meanwhile the monthly account report shows the congregation cash flow is in the red by about 30% every month, and local needs keeps yammering on about "give more". . .!!

I give nothing anymore.

Probably talking about money(about giving Jah, valuable things)

Just last night, again, as a matter of fact.
