first, a word about the watchtower’s financial position: nobody (outside the watchtower organization) knows.
the wtbs is not required to disclose its finances, and doesn’t.
we can speculate, but that is all we are doing.
True, there are some people who need other people making decision for them, but there's plenty that are held hostage and are perfectly capable of finding purpose and joy without a cult leader.
Get rid of the cult for the benefit of those members who can live without the cult and at the expense of those who need the cult to be happy. You have gains and losses either way, but I side with "the hell with the cult" and let the chips fall where they may. I think there will be a net gain.
if watchtower has no reason to df ones.
they have just become inactive.
do you all think wt will begin a witch hunt (df'ing) for these inactive ones?
They have too many problems to be chasing inactive people. They need volunteers to do the chasing first.
i think this screen shot says it all... need i say more?.

what's the link? I want to benefit from the Rewards program.
EDIT: Found it
You can donate gift cards, airline rewards, bank rewards, hotel rewards, etc
nk has fired another icbm over japan.. the missile flew 2,300 miles at an altitude of 480 miles.
a korean spokesman has said about japan, “the four islands of the archipelago should be sunken into the sea by the nuclear bomb of juche.
japan is no longer needed to exist near us”.
Trump: "fire an fury"
North Korea "reduce the U.S. mainland into ashes and darkness"
Two irrational narcissists who have mastered the game of mind control and selling bullshit may get us into a nuclear war
And to think that I believed the seven magnificent were dangerous. They are just little puppies in comparison.
the latest featured video from everybodys favorite child indoctrination cult: see yourself in paradise.
watch the video here: https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/family/children/become-jehovahs-friend/videos/see-yourself-in-paradise/.
few problems here that the little kids wont have figured out:.
Trust in Jehovah. He created the Universe. So vaporizing 7 billion corpses and all the buildings is child's play for him.
i went into my mother's office to leave her a small note to say that we love and miss her and would love to get together.
i found this on her desk.
this is jehovah's witnesses.
Your mom is a projection of the heartless corporation that indoctrinated her, but nonetheless a victim, just like you.
after 33 years as a jw and leaving 25 years ago i think prayer can be summed up with the jews praying at the wailing wall.. all they are doing is talking to a brick wall ,and getting no feed back.
and they expect an answer to their prayers ?!.
christians /other beliefs might find that funny but they are no better off.. prayer is always a one way street you talk either vocally or mentally to god however you never get the same back .. if god " so loved the world that he doesnt want any to be destroyed but have everlasting life " then whats the problem with him audibly answering his servants prayers ?
Not just prayers are answered. Curses too are answered.
You see, almost everyday for some years I had described God as an asshole or a son of bitch and told him to go to hell. Guess what happened?
No broken bones or any handicap from any of these incidents, just bruises and scars. In fact I am quite healthy, physically, emotionally and financially. But don't get too comfy, all these are warnings from God....Oh what the hell, I will continue taunting the son of a bitch.
it will be another money call followed by a reminder about how the end is imminent..
" If Wt tries to pull off the same thing there as the do in the usa they may be dissopointed."
Insurance or no insurance, they will be exploiting the response of well intended people to others in need. The Watchtower will ask for donations to help the brothers and sisters affected by the earthquake... and keep it. The help actually will come directly from the hard work and hard earned money of other brothers and sisters...and the donations, except for few dollars to disguise the scam, will disappear.
september 6th, 2017: a just released research survey shows once again that jehovah's witnesses are among the least educated people in the united states: .
america’s changing religious identity.
it is also interesting to note how jws rank in the categories of: income, insurance coverage and homeownership.
Yes, based on my experience, 9% is too high I think JW's confuse any post high school education with college degree. I know many of them get 6 month to two year technical degrees. There's many doctor/dentist assistants, diaper changing "nurses", computer technicians, etc. These careers pay often two dollars above minimum wage.
the manipulative use of language by the org in the upcoming circuit assembly talks is as good - or better - than any advertising conglomerate could devise.
the mind-shaping wording is clearly used in order to deter critical thinking by the sheep.. face bad reports as jesus did (9 min.
note to the speaker: explain why spiritually mature people do not become ashamed of the good news or dismayed when faced with negative propaganda.
Thank you Darkspilver. I am in you corner
