i hope that one of the friends will post the letter soon.
i heard that on 3/27/2017 a letter with new instructions about the accounts at the circuit conventions was released.
the letter seems to adopt many of the corrections that had been suggested here at the forum, among other things during the accounts report they will be no mention of the per capita and the amount due is going to be released only to the elders.
Very interesting stuff. It only further confirms how Assemblies are a cash making scheme for the Org
I think it was always a cash making scheme for the Borg... eye opening from an ex-elder. I always wonder why there was a deficit at every convention even when the building was paid for, electricity is very cheap and trash removal is minimal... why would a one day assembly cost $12k?
so it is now two days after another islamic terrorist attack.
how many muslims are in the streets protesting and condemning this evil?
how many are marching in all the big cities condemning this in mass protests?.
Number of Muslims protesting London terrorist attack = negligible.
Number of Muslims who protested the Danish paper's cartoons = many thousands world-wide, lots of flag-burning, embassy burning, proclamations of death to the West, violence, and the odd murder or two.
More Muslims protested about a f**king cartoon than protested about a lunatic who ran over pedestrians and stabbed a police officer to death. That's shameful.
Kpop's thread is a good one and his point remains ...
Thank you LUHE. Actually that of course is the point of this entire thread but it was lost on those with their biases showing and their heads up their asses. Thank you for mentioning the cartoon as well. Muslims worldwide came out to protest a cartoon but a terrorist attack that killed people that is indeed 100% in the name of Islam is NOT protested says everything. My example was in France, hundreds of Muslims came out and blocked the streets and protested just two days after the attack to protest the closure of an illegal Mosque. That is correct, a Mosque that was deemed illegal by a court for various infractions was closed and hundreds of Muslims came out to protest that..... but how many came out to protest this attack? To make things worse, on the Arabic news feed of the attack in London, hundreds of "ordinary Muslims" laughed and celebrated and cheered the attacks saying things like "Praise Allah for he has punished the infidels" and "We need more lone wolves to attack the infidels in the name of Allah!"
But of course the left says, "this has nothing to do with Islam..." I still noticed that none of the usual defenders here dared to touch that video because it says everything we need to know. It reminds me of a meme I saw floating around that had a radical Muslim holding a knife and suicide vest chanting "death to Americans and Jews KILL KILL KILL infidels!" and in the next frame on CNN a reporter saying, "he doesn't really mean that!" I don't understand the infatuation with defending the most dangerous of ideologies on earth....
so it is now two days after another islamic terrorist attack.

I love how I hear almost everyday on the TV how we should not worry about Muslim extremists in America but instead the real threat is right wing Christians. Well then, riddle me this:
"If Muslims are so peaceful, why are so many people afraid to offend them? If Christians are so dangerous, why is nobody afraid to offend them?"
I hate nothing more than the deceitful lying media changing the script and now praising Islam while attacking Christians. I don't like any religion, but I never feel that I have to be worried if I went to an all Christian event if I was wearing a rainbow flag shirt or a shirt that said, "Jesus was a jerk." At the most I would be berated. On the other hand if I did the same at an Islamic event I would be physically attacked.
haha!
yes folks!
it's an eight page printout from the cd-rom of the scriptures and wt reference for use during the midweek clam meeting.. 'references for life and ministry meeting workbook'.
i know i am, to me its a bit of a peculiar anomaly that the wts is still around and functioning in reflection of its decades and now complete century that the wts has been bullshitting to people .
organizations like the church of god have shrunk dramatically from its heyday of the 1980's, this too was another organization that spread and grew by publishing its own magazine proclaiming a armageddon soon doctrine and its main publication was called " the truth " .
i'm guessing some of this has to do with the fact that people who get lured into this cult aren't aware of its past, its doctrines, the people who started it and so forth.
Yes and no. You must remember that human psychology plays a part along with stupidity. Why do people join cults like Jim Jones? Why is religion still around? Why do people pay to see WWE wrestling when they know it is fake?

I am shocked that supposedly former cult members are here attempting to defend a dangerous cult/political ideology masquerading as a religion (you can't leave - penalty death, you can't question teachings - penalty lashings and/or death, don't even dare make fun of Mo - penalty death for certain, if you are gay - penalty stoning and/or beheading or thrown from the highest building, probably beheading, adultery - penalty lashings, removal of genitals and possibly death, penalty for accusing a male of rape, lashings and/or death... shall I go on?). If you are so pro-Islam then why aren't you so pro-JW which despite being a cult does not go around killing people in the name of Jehovah?
I know, some will say, "but that was ISIS who killed the gay boy!" Well then I'll ask you, WHERE DID ISIS GET THE IDEA TO KILL THE GAYS FROM??? Did they simply make it up or is in written in Islam's most holy texts???
Islam is the most misogynist, racist, bigoted religion on earth today outside of a few dangerous fringe cults. My conclusion is that if Islam numbered only a few hundred members in one place, they would be outlawed. But they are "too big to ban." So now they have become political pawns for this giant chess game.
You need to turn off the TV and wake up! Every day, hundreds of accounts of terror in the name of Islam.
i say that because it works for both the people doing field service and the watchtower.
for the people its easier standing than having to walk and you can have a chat with other jws as well.
for the watchtower they tell the drones that the general public must make the first move(to stop the general public complaining about being pestered) but in doing so it means that they are not giving many magazines etc away but that suits the watchtower because magazines and even single page trats cost money and that seems to be one thing that the watchtower dont have .
Punk! You are an artist! ;)
I do believe the trolleys are the best idea yet because nobody really comes up to them. They set one up outside my office area and I watched all day as not a single person came to take literature. A few people stopped, looked at the titles and artwork and realized it was cult literature and kept on walking.
check out the latest watchtower:.
"your defense?
be determined to stick to jehovah’s organization and loyally support the leadership he provides—no matter what imperfections may surface.
Translation: "We can no longer cover up the child abuse scandal and so... you know, we're still God's only organization!"
apparently jehalapeno isn't a 2nd amendment supporter either.... .
july 17 questions from readers.... the way this part is worded screams cult to me, i was quite amused.. how a christian chooses to protect himself, his family, or his possessions is, of course, largely a personal matter, as is his choice of employment.. geee!
thanks watchtower for allowing me to "largely chose my own employment" you are a generous cult lol.
Hi Village! Those look like .22s to me. Why did you have to sell everything?
Freemind- yes I agree. One gun I recommend to you might not be the best for you. Everyone has to find what feels right in their hands. And I can't stress practice practice practice! In all states if you want a CCW you have to take a basic training course but I personally don't think that is enough. I took it because it was a prerequisite for the advanced tactical I took. I went from preschool to med school in one afternoon.

I really like the grip on the Shield as it reminds me of a Walther PPS or most H&K which have nice meaty grips. They feel good in the hand. The thing I learned about a gun is getting to know how to use it and feel comfortable with it, like an extension of your body instead of a device to be used. It helps in emergency situations if you needed to use it. I highly recommend everyone takes a tactical course or advanced training course. It is fun and helps you to not be afraid of your gun. I went to one that was 3 days after meeting the requirements and prerequisites. Many good looking girls were there! Now I have to wonder what hot girl is carrying!
