i like to tell you what we've been doing these past few days here in portugal (ex-jw).
we create a brochure and printing, so we can send to the maximum of congregations in portugal.
some individuals were also covered in this campaign.. the title of the pamphlet is: "when will the kingdom arrive?".

This article has pin pointed Watch Tower's leaders, exactly.
Christianity is supposed to be about helping each other. Doing things in a Christian loving, kind way.
Not shunning or forbidding contact with friends and family members. Not counting your hours on a time sheet.
Not protecting pedophiles and being a good old Boys Club twisting and cherry picking scriptures to suit themselves.
Not play nu -lite, old-lite and if you don't keep up with our nu -thought of the day, we will kick you out, and we will make sure nobody talks to you.
Where Jesus is cited as throwing money changers out of his Father's Temple, GB/WT are financially raping it's downtrodden members, to help themselves out financially and to make sure they survive. They do not care about anyone else.
WT/GB are acting like religious mafia Pope's, without any care or thought for the little guy and his family. They are the only one's that count.
They are all sociopaths. Smiling but rotten to the core.
Controlling, liars and murderers.
Their way or the highway.
I am so happy to be driving the highway with other's who had been sucked into the WT/GB/JW religion... We woke up and left, and now we are free.

have you noticed how the org, and individuals are more concerned about the actual event such as the international conventions, rather than the content of the program?.
i often shake my figurative head (ok, literal one too!
), as i see the all the hype being generated by the act of attending, and think that most are not actually interested in the stuff that will be presented, but are more concerned about simply being there or getting there..... and, they are more focussed on the activity of a campaign, such as a tract work, or invitation hand out, rather than the actual content of the material.. .
I remember over hearing some mature⢠sisters⢠talking about a brother who had been a Gilead graduate with his wife. They stayed in their assignment for a few years, then he came home sick,
He came home looking very frail, which is how he looked the rest of his life. (I never heard if he had contracted maleria etc. or another long lasting bug).
Anyway, these sisters were going on about Bro Ed not paying attention at the 4 day convention. They said they sat near him and he never looked up one scripture in his Bible AND he never
took any notes!
Reflecting back, Ed was a smart guy. I wonder if he was sitting there bored out of his skull or if he was sick and had made a big effort to be there and sit next to his wife. He is dead now.

I do not remember anything religious from being 9 years old at Yankee Stadium in 1958.
I remember the airplane ride to get there, the clothes I wore, the Ststen Island Ferry, the Statue of Liberty, shopping at Macy's, the automated food restaurants. I had a great time.
I do not remember anything religious about the 8 day convention at the Pasadena Rose Bowl in 1963.
It was hot. Our house was overflowing with visitors. There was the Freeway to navigate through regular LA downtown traffic. It was no pleasure sitting out in the all day sun.
There was a Spanish JW convention held adjacent to the Rose Bowl. The children were dressed so precious.
What I remember the most, was watching the attendant's bringing stretchers to carry sisters out who had fainted.
I attended all of the CA and DC through the decades.
What do I remember? Ahh ...
Are we talking who was there and what did they wear and who is engaged and who is pregnant and who is sitting with whom and where did we go to eat afterward?
That I could answer.
What I realize from all of that on reflection is I am a social person not a religious one.

Disgusting and underhanded.
They only want you for what you can do for them.

towards the end of last year, the witnesses in scotland had their own assembly hall opened in the town of livingston, near edinburgh the capital.. this was achieved no doubt by blood, sweat, and tears by many over a very long period - as well as by donations of witnesses from all over scotland and its islands, not forgetting the levy per publisher imposed on all the congregations in the guise of "donations"!.
was the org grateful for the sacrifices which were made to bring a great "shout of praise" to whoever?
nope!
We all are only contributors to WT's real estate empire.
We are used for what working skills or cash we have.
I wish all 7 1/2 million JW's would wake up and leave and take their money with them.
Oh. If I could live long enough to see GB's Empire crash and those in charge jailed for fraud and ruining good honest humble people's lives.

as of june 01,2014, please what do you think in term of us dollars, is the current net worth of the watchtower society?.
.
.
How many sheeples properties do you know that have gone into greedy WT's feed the beast's hands?
I know of just 2, totaling $1.5 million US and that is for 2 different publisher's personal homes alone.
How many thousands of people have "donated" their homes and estates to Headquarter's in the past 50 years? What about the past 100 years?
We are talking about over 100 years of begging people for money, property, jewelry and giving nothing in return but promises...
Watch Tower has Christian Charity status, so everything they own, is tax free.
Can you imagine how much more money you and your family and grandparents and great grandparents would have had if for the past 100 years they ran their business corporation with free labor building new or buying low and fixing up, and eventually flipping it? All with free labor and no taxes what so ever ?
How did your family or their business do during the 1920's and 1930's Great Depression? Watch Tower had no problems. You are saying God provided for them??? Ah, that would be a no. Booze Rutherford, with his girlfriend Bonnie Boyd were the ones in power. He played god, and everyone went along with it.
Now it is 2014. Nothing has changed. Nothing will change.
WT is ever tight with control. They abusively tell you how to live your life.
Have they ever acted Christian? No.
Think about it.
