Another reason Watchtower may be hurting financially

by shepherdless in

i don't think anyone else has raised this point.

below i set out the case that the jw demographic in usa has a steadily decreasing combined income, and as a consequence, has less money to donate.

not only is the flock not growing, the flock is producing less wool for the borg to fleece.

A religion mostly composed of part-time toilet or window-cleaners or retired ladies will be condemned to get fewer and fewer money.

...and so the shunning begins

i am now officially 'inactive' so am no longer chased by an elder a for a report.

the congregation i belonged to never had much time for me anyway, i said once i could drop down dead in the k.hall and no one would notice.

so i never expected anyone to be particularly bothered that i wasn't there and they aren't.

I'm living the same situation but, before I stopped preachig and going to meetings, most of the people I really loved were strongly told to avoid talking to me because of my "wordly spirit".

I'm sure they really believe they stay on the right side of the line and protect themselves and the holyness of the congregation...

i've recently been at an assembly here in romania and there was an announced they were running a 10,000 euro deficit and urging all attendees to donate more money besides the already 5k has was donated during that day.

i really don't understand these things.

it's their own assembly hall.

Kids ... and baptism.

by Tallon in

i have noticed, from reading posts on this and other related websites, what to me is an alarming practice taking place within the jw's.

and that is the baptism of kids.. on a recent discussion posted by pe ( video of the girl now forced to shun her sister) this child was baptised at 9 years old.

all of us who were baptised at a much older age know of the many questions one needs to give serious consideration and understanding of to become eligible for baptism, not to mention the two baptism questions asked before being dunked.. surely the organisation must know that children of such a young age are not mature enough to fully grasp the seriousness, demands and consequences of making such a decision.. another point; if jesus is the example to follow, then why did he only get baptised at age 30, and he was perfect!.

my former PO was baptized at 9, became an elder at 19, got married with a 15 yo girl (parents had to sign a special authorisation) when he was 30...

He's quite crazy (and out of reality) and consideres himself as the absolute reference !

surely an example to follow for the young one !

2017 Convention Recording: JWs Applaud 10yo Girl For Shunning Her Own Sister

by pale.emperor in

this poor girl was baptized at 9yo.

.

she isnt old enough to buy alcohol, to vote, to decide her own medical treatment, to buy a pet, to travel alone... yet she was deemed old enough to dedicate her life to a religion that will cut her off from her family if she ever leaves.. here she is applauded for shunning her own sister who tried to keep in contact with her after waking up.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yzgnfda8ki.

It was difficult to clic on "like"... I'm sure you understand what I mean.

Jw mummies boys

by purrpurr in

jw
friends

i've had the misfortune to encounter quite a few mummies boys in the cult.

men aged 20-40 who although in men's bodies think,act and behave like children.

their mother's had them tied to the apron strings tightly.

mistakes are wrong and if you listen to them you won't make mistakes

an excellent summary of Watchtower philosophy !!!

Todays WT, study with worldy kids if you can

by purrpurr in

according to today's wt, jws are now encouraged to start bible studys with worldy kids even if their parents dont want to join in.

the wt suggests that the study should take place with the parent present or with another mature jw present.. the wt suggests that studying with the kid may make the parent eventually want a study too.. ...

in what situation would any worldly parent allow some stranger from a werid cult to come jnto their house and convert their children?

polish clarinet

we had several cases in my congregation. There were very low instructed parents who wanted JWs to give their children a basical spiritual and moral instruction.

When those kids entered their 'teens, all that collapsed and there were absolutely no positive result.

another point : it's really incredible that jw.org has never been hacked. Millions of dollars must be spent in the security. Even the white house, the CIA or the NASA have been hacked many and many times, but jw.org, never!!!

I really believe that the dream of every hacker in the world is to remove the blue quarter jw.org and put the face of Mickey mouse...
