Never had a lot - but it tailed off to almost nothing even before I started to wake up.
When I did wake up - obviously nothing.

Money! How much did you "Contribute" To The WTB@TS When You Were A Member
by The Bethelite ini was in full time service for six years including bethel.
once i got out of bethel, i figured i had already given them six of the best years of my life (ages 18-24) working as a slave/drone in their factory, so i rationalized that i had given them enough... so over the next 27 years i would say maybe $200 bucks is it.
i think their whole "voluntary contributions" idea is biting them in the ass, because over all jehovah's witnesses are a cheap group people with a few exceptions.

Eleanor Roosevelt - her inner beauty compelled her to help more Americans than any other 1st Lady.
That was a wonderful woman and a great 1st lady.No greater beauty than that can be had.

Our congregation will be deleted
by Rattigan350 inlast night was the co's visit.
prior to his part, an elder had a part on following theocratic direction.
it was about our congregation being deleted (there are 2 sharing this hall) and the people and territory being divided up to the 4 other surrounding ones.. they say it is not about numbers but about making best use of resources.

Consolidation is happening in my area - my old hall and 2 others are dissolved and moved into 4 others.
Again - what happened to we need THOUSANDS of halls right away (2014/15).
And give us all your money so we can build these THOUSANDS of halls?
And what about - oh sorry - our bad - here is your money and ownership of your Halls (that you paid for) back.
FRAUD!!!!

2024 A View Into The Future
by The Bethelite inafter many tv specials were the watchtower bible & truck society have been exposed as the biggest religious haven for pedophiles on the planet and the loss of hundred of court cases including (the last and biggest one involving the supreme court) the society finally files chapter 11.. the society must turn over all of their files of all known pedophiles.
this turns out to be bigger then anyone could have ever imagined with tens of thousands of their members being named many of whom have been in positions of power.. over 80% of their followers leave the mother ship and contributions slow to a trickle.. most of the society's properties are sold off and people are meeting in private homes and basements.
just like they did when the church was founded a 150 years ago.

Watchtower reveals some property stats - incomplete but interesting
by Corney ininteresting screenshots of internal wt databases appear in the 2018 coordinators' committee report video (that's in fact a presentation of their hub software) at 6:34-6:50. they contain, among others, the following information:.
there are 61,349 kingdom halls and 841 assembly halls;.
4,308 properties are held for sale, including 2,925 khs;.

On that video at 6min 40 seconds in they say something interesting.
They say that the "perceived" need for thousands of KHs ASAP "was resolved" using the HUB software.
So here is their MESSAGE as to why they went from Begging money for thousands of new Halls needed ASAP, to selling off thousands!
The dissolving of the RBC (which was the org that build ALL the halls in the USA) because they needed thousands of Halls ASAP!
Having asked ALL Congregations to VOW monthly money (basically giving each Hall a perpetual mortgage) by each publisher so they can build these Thousands of KHs ASAP!
Telling ALL congregations to Send ALL their money in their bank accounts (except for a small amount for operating expense) so they can fund the building of THOUSANDS of New KHs ASAP!
SOOOOO - No mention that, well now we DON'T need all that money, so we will give it all back.
If any Corporation or Organization will have done that, people would be in Jail for FRAUD!
Bernie Madoff would be proud!!!! -

Involved(ish) with a JW Man.
by BNG-713 ini know there are several posts about witnesses and non-witnesses in regards to relationships.
i couldn’t find anything specifically that spoke to me, so i would love some third-party advice and thoughts.. i have never been someone to pursue a stranger from the internet.
earlier this year, i became friends with someone on a video game.

Boy crowned prom queen by schoolmates
by pale.emperor innow i think i may have seen everything.. "boy crowned prom queen by schoolmates".
i'm all for people being entitled to wear what they want and live as they please as long as they're not harming anyone but - a male prom queen?
maybe there wasn't much competition in his school?.

Its always the same thing. "Your different than me, thus there is something wrong with you."
"No what your doing does not impact me in any way, but your different so..."
"No I don't want other people to judge me or what I do, but your different than me so..."
We all escaped a CULT that told us what to Be, what to Think, what to LOOK LIKE, etc....
Have we learned anything from that?

Don't count on witnessing Watchtower's demise anytime soon.
by Roger Kirkpatrick inthe fact that there are pomi ex-jws who have been disfellowshiped or inactive for years who still live in constant fear of armageddon indicates that watchtower will manage to exist in one way or another for years, if not decades, to come.
watchtower, like all other religious cults, operate on the premise that "you can fool some of the people all of the time...and that's enough!
".
