Watchtower potentially receives at least $2.1 Billion a year in revenue by prohibiting holidays, etc...

by Calebs Airplane in

so we all know that the main reason the watchtower corporation prohibits holidays, extra-curricular sports, higher education, etc.

is that this money could potentially become "voluntary donations" with just a little guilting and manipulation.

in the minds of the brooklyn brass, money that isn't spent on all this worldly stuff is potential liquid revenue (at least some of it anyway).. now let's go extremely conservative for a minute and say that the average "worldly" person only spends a total of $300 a year on christmas, birthdays, st. valentines, father's day, mother's day, extracurricular school sports, higher education, and all the other stuff that the wt frowns upon.... we all know that the real number is much higher than $300.

We all know that the real number is much higher than $300. But assuming that's the number, if you multiply that by 7 Million Dubs, that's a total of $2.1 Billion dollars a year in potential revenue for the WT.

With contributions dwindling and rag revenues declining rapidly, I'm sure the old farts in Brooklyn are hard at work right now searching for something else to prohibit... I'm guessing wedding anniversary parties will be next on their "prohibited spending" list. Just a few proof texts taken out of context should do the trick... cha-ching!

FOUR FREEMASONS receive honorable mention in today's WT Study...

by Calebs Airplane in

that's right... 4 freemasons are quoted with honorable mention in today's wt rag study... anyways, these are:.

paragraph 1: john greenleaf whittier (1807-1892) - freemason and quaker poet who wrote "masonic voice review".

there is even a freemason affiliated lodge in massachusetts named after him... the john greenleaf whittier order of demolay which is part of the "freemasons of the eastern star"... paragraph 4: albert barnes (1798-1870) - freemason and presbyterian who was directly involved in the gnostic liberation front which, among other false teachings, attempted to dissuade their members into believing that lucifer is not satan.

Paragraph 4: Albert Barnes (1798-1870) - Freemason and Presbyterian who was directly involved in the Gnostic Liberation Front which, among other false teachings, attempted to dissuade their members into believing that Lucifer is NOT Satan. This is plainly evident in "Barnes' Notes on the Old and New Testament".

Paragraph 7: Frederick William Farrar (1831-1903) - Freemason who wrote "The Life of Christ" and is quoted in several pro-Freemason books such as "The Enlightenment Bible" written by Jewish Freemason Jonathan Sheehan.

Paragraph 17: John Bertram Phillips (1906-1982) - Freemason who held many anti-christian views. On page 28 of his book "Ring of Truth" he insists that the Bible is not entirely inspired by God, suggesting that men on earth basically filled in the blanks as they went along. Sound familiar?

What's puzzling to me is why the Watchtower Corporation continuously makes honorable mentions of Freemasons of the past and makes no negative comments about any Freemasons or Freemasonry in general in any of its literatrash...

Does the WT knowingly violate fire codes on Memorial night?

by Calebs Airplane in

i've been to at least 5 different halls in my lifetime and have seen the same scenarios repeated over and over... the max occupancy sign (regulated by local fire code) is completely ignored on memorial night.. for example, one hall i attended had an average congo attendance of about 95 with a max occupancy of 175. however, on memorial night, we'd usually stuff at least 200 people into the hall.

don't ask me how, but we did... the other 4 halls i attended had similar scenarios.... however, my experiences could very well be completely isolated events.

so i'm curious to know what your experiences have been on memorial night.... have you noticed whether or not the fire code has been adhered to at your hall on memorial night?

Calebs Airplane

Metaspy... I was given the same response... "as long as no one opens their mouth, there should be no problem"

The WT does obey Ceasar's laws, as long as these laws don't interfere with any of their recruiting activities.

Yet another "Shunning is good for you, honest!" quote in the June 15th 2013 Watchtower

by cedars in

hi folks.

that's right, the new june 15th 2013 study edition is out now on this link.... http://download.jw.org/files/media_magazines/28/w_e_20130615.pdf.

the following quote caught my eye, from the final study article on page 28.... .

Calebs Airplane

Watchtower Writing Department... You've been busted recycling yet again!

And you're not even good at it anymore... By the way, no normal human being (JW or not) talks like this:

"Had my family associated with me even a little, that small dose would have satisfied me"

Those are not words that would come out of anyone's mouth... get real...

Calebs Airplane

Interesting.... could be a precursor of things to come...

I can almost foresee the WT tightening control like never before by having completely centralized assembly talks given by specially selected Brooklyn Brass (or should I say Warwick Brass) over MP4 streaming video (with a 10-second delay to allow muting all the f**k-ups) fed via satellite into assembly halls and eventually every kingdom hall on the planet.... yeah... This is probably how they'll begin CULTivating the 3rd "Overlapping Generation" ..
