  Thanks again Petra, I'm amazed they didn't discard the brown "Reasoning" book.

  Page 200 and page 234 and the argumentation in between, under the heading "last days" has become untenable surely?

  Members or Individuals

  by Dazed_Confussed in

  any truth to the thought that instead of being considered "members" of the jw organization, that they will shortly be considered only as "individuals" of the organization?.

  Watchtower has always kept two sets of books, in one way or another.

  Unless they are expecting to, and have accepted they will lose their non-profit, charity status; they will have to maintain membership and have a means to positively identify those active or "financial" members...that means is currently the field service reports - AKA "The Publisher". "The Member". Same thing. That is what identifies an individual as an active member, and is what Watchtower claims is their charitable programming - the preaching work is 70% of their activities and the only component they can claim to qualify them as a charity.

  Without members, there would be no preaching work, without the preaching work there would be no programming, and with no programming there would be no charity, and without a charity they wouldn't be able to own the properties, land and buildings that are assigned to registered charities.

  Maybe they should start selling them off?....oh wait...

  I'd really love to know how they are rearranging the chessboard.

  Is Watchtower meant to be an actual shelter from reality

  by ToyFish in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yciaw0m2-nqi'm a former member that has been out for the past few months and have been doing a lot of personal research.

  i've been having mixed feelings about the gb whether or not their intentions are good or not.

  the fact they have a protocol of moral lying through "theocratic warfare" very much turned me off from having anything to do with the org.

  Is Watchtower meant to be an actual shelter from reality?

  No.

  It's meant to distort reality.

  The Watchtower sets up the stage with real, but overrepresented, horrific, and positively depressing features of world conditions. The cult then offers a glossy, promising alternative to a gloomy outlook.

  Watchtower is an insular organisation, it allows you to see only what it wants you to see...within and without.

  Internal and external facades are protected by copyright , anti hate speech and religious freedom laws.

  And those facades are also protected by the intenrnal judiciary process that has little thought for human rights or due process when dealing with rank and file or, ( as in the case of The Purge 1980 ) high ranking officials who went rogue.

  While watchtower portrays an exaggerated negative worldview, it goes to great lengths to keep the curtain closed on its own dark secrets and to maintain a whitwashed appearance.

  
  

  
  

  Keep reading and researching, free from undue influence.

  If you haven't already, read Crisis of Conscience, and In Search of Christian Freedom, by Ray Franz.

  Check out jwfacts.com

  Have a look at, and scrutinize everything you feel you need to.

  Follow the evidence trail.

  Lose yourself. Find you.

  Love is all we need.

  hey you all, i'm honestly pretty depressed on my own out there.

  it's quite terrifying being on your own out there in a lone wolf kinda way.

  i'm not sure how much my brain can tolerate this mest up feeling of social abandonment caused by the borg and family.

  hi all.. i didn't want to post this in private because i want all to see what i saw.. the protest at the melbourne convention went superbly in my opinion.

  the protesters and their banners were more than eloquent and succinct.

  you could feel the emotion they all conveyed.

  Hi JTG, I'm at the protest. Thanks for sharing this it is encouraging to see how we are seen by everyone who is not prepared to lie about the reality of what is happening at the protest.

  If my fellow protesters were acting inappropriately I would not be here.

  We are all lovely people with our own personal issues and characteristics, but on the whole there is more good in us than anything remotely bad.

  I feel great about finally being part of something proactive within my capacity and comfort zone.

  Love you all !!
