Question

by Gorb in

jw

what is the probability that a religious organisation is used for money laundering?

for example, large amounts of money are raised by the organization as a donation and then legally introduced into the financial system.

is there any chance that jw.org is used for this kind of purpose?

Why build a new movie studio when we are in the last part of the last part of the last day?

if the end is so near as the jehovah’s witnesses leadership claims (somehow they must have special insight), why are they building a movie studio that will be finished in 2026?.

it’s not the first time something of this nature has happened in the society’s history.

Resurrected ones will need to be entertained. Here comes the Holy-Food Studios.

Sep. 2021 Broadcast: more money

by neat blue dog in

in the latest jw broadcast, anthony morris the turd gives a talk about donations.

to camouflage this, he starts and ends the talk by saying that isn't actually what he's doing.

first he starts with the usual disclaimer, 'wt has never begged for money like christendom and we never will', you know the drill.

There is a scheme. Once the money is donated, it becomes property of the WT (or it becomes holy) and nobody is allowed to use for anything. BoEs have no authority on that money. Since some time now, they request and push all congregations to transfer whatever they have in their hand to Bethel.

From my personal experience, there was a brother, had to be operated, but had not enough money and family coverage to get the operation. BoE decided to use the congregation's money for that urgent need, help the brother, but some of the elders' conscience "pricked them" and the next morning they called Bethel whether this decision was theocratically correct or not. Bethel replied, no you can't use the congregation's money and if you want to help the brother, 1. find his relatives 2. ask for private donations. Once the money is contributed, it is no longer touchable.

Congregations, innocently thinking all their donations are going to Bethel and used efficiently to help brothers/sisters in need worldwide.... I'm certain that when they say, they are helping and have helped XX thousand brothers/sisters financially, these must be the Bethel workers and special pioneers' monthly salaries.... Deception at work.

PIMO elder

by Reservations in

jw
friends

i’m reservations, pimo elder.

i’m in no position to leave the organisation, maybe some people will see that as weak or whatever, but we have to all go down our own path in life.. i would like to be able to wake people up in my congregation, how do you think best to do this?

any ideas?.

BelisemDeBelimakom

Hi @Reservations, I'd also say to continue as much as you can and as @StephaneLaliberte pointed, you may use that status to help others, spread seeds of the truth, demonstrate genuine love, become the elder that everyone feels safe/approachable/friendly. Unlike PIMI elders, PIMO elders have nothing to lose, no strings attached ... which adds value, quality, power. Your talks and counsel can be far more refreshing, reaching hearts than PIMIs.

However, PIMI elders in your BoE will probably not like what you will become. The need to serve, worship the organization is strong with them. So, they or "reaching out ones" will look for your weak points (monthly report for ex.), so be very careful especially when you are giving comments, public talks or counseling, "for a bird of the air may carry your words, and a winged creature may report your speech." (Ecclesiastes 10:20).

In brief, keeping your post as an elder might be beneficial to you and the ones you may save in the long run.

Confidential Letter from the Watchtower to all full time servants.

by pistolpete in

this is a confidential letter for all full time servants like cos, regular pioneers, bethel and branch workers so please don't tell anyone about this.. reminder 20,000 jws have died of covid and 99% of those who died or were hospitalized in the united states branch territory were not vaccinated, so whose fault is that???.

my question, how did they get the information that all these 20,000 jws were not vaccinated?.

hint; if you want to continue to share in spiritual privileges--------------------get vaccinated.

BelisemDeBelimakom

Thank you @Carla!

I heard that HLC members received a letter last year about the biological contents of vaccines (aborted tissues etc.) and they are instructed to respond in a specific way in case a Witness comes asking them. If no one asks, they will not mention it. If asked, they will not deny but will reply in such a way that it is up to the Witness to do research and decide. This can be cross-checked easily with an HLC member near you.

WT, by only mentioning whether a vaccine contains blood fractions or not, is misleading witnesses, knowing that none of them will make their own research. If they were transparent, they would openly talk about the ingredients of vaccines and many witnesses would be well informed and would make an informed decision.

Covid Vaccine - Which One

by SadElder in

i had just about decided to get the johnson & johnson vaccine and the issue of the guillain barre syndrome came up.

i realize it's a distant possibility but it gave me pause to reconsider.

i'm not fully onboard with the mrna method yet.. if you received the vaccine ..... which one, and can you share why that one?.

Any word on if the jws can take the Johnson & Johnson Vaccine?

by mynameislame in

looks like there's some controversy among the catholics because the j&j vaccine may be produced using a cell line derived from an aborted fetus.. have the jws made a statement?.

don't tell me they are going to let themselves be outdone by the catholics..

BelisemDeBelimakom

This very information is only revealed to HLC members, standard elders don't know it neither. HLC received a special guideline a few months ago regarding vaccines which answers this question. They will only mention this "aborted fetus" concerns if you ask them directly. No, they won't include this in the congregation announcements for all to hear, this information is secret.

If you have any HLC member nearby, test this: ask them whether should we take this ingredient issue into consideration or not?

Their answer is already ready. They can "neither-admit-nor-deny" this guideline and will tell "you are to decide based on your conscience" ... but hey, in fact you can't.

How to make memorial bread

by road to nowhere in

video in the meeting part.

i love the stereotypical jew actors, old world kitchen, yiddish accents.

reading the greatest man book instead of bible.. they did give a nod to non wheat flour but corn and rice would have been unknown at memorial no.

BelisemDeBelimakom

The way they show it looks like a ritual. Their Memorial is a ritual and preparing the bread is one another. No wine procedure though.

what was written on that "sophisticated" Memorial bread notes? Are they really caring or treasuring what Jesus commanded?

JW Notes for the bread:

1. Pray before starting

2. Take some flour, pray again. Open some Bible verses. Feel some holiness flow through you.

3. Put some water and mix it, but very very gently, like a massage. This is a holy bread. Give a prayerful thought on what it must be back then. Open and read some more verses.

4. Once the mixture is good, gently shape the dough and place it inside the four. It must have a round shape. Yes, you'll put some oil which is not mentioned in the Bible but, hey, are you not trusting the slave? Don't forget to meditate and meditate again and pray during cooking process. Important Note: The oven becomes holy during the process, so no other cooking should be allowed till sundown.

5. Once the bread is done, it should not be consumed before/after the memorial but discarded as waste. A small final prayer will be good, mentioning how we value this bread and we did not desecrated by eating it, as slave commanded.

And the Wine?

Same, but don't mix it with water and put inside oven. Pray before opening and pouring to toilet.

And voila, you have successfully dishonored Jesus!
