  Money! How much did you "Contribute" To The WTB@TS When You Were A Member

  by The Bethelite in

  i was in full time service for six years including bethel.

  once i got out of bethel, i figured i had already given them six of the best years of my life (ages 18-24) working as a slave/drone in their factory, so i rationalized that i had given them enough... so over the next 27 years i would say maybe $200 bucks is it.

  i think their whole "voluntary contributions" idea is biting them in the ass, because over all jehovah's witnesses are a cheap group people with a few exceptions.

  I never put much in the box, instead I'd throw the money up in the air, out in the car park and what ever Jehovah needed he would keep.

  Tameria2001,

  Can I ask please about your husband, was he emotionally scarred or suffer any hang ups over this or did he just take it in his stride and carry on?

  the italian language ex-jw site testimoni di geova consapevoli published an article reporting that the aussie bethel is under investigation by the same team that brought down the catholic cardinal pell (currently in prison).

  the site's editor, eliseo, occasionally posts here.. has anyone down under heard of this?

  I'll be watching this one very closely.

  The new Queensland law is also gaining traction in Victoria Blondie.

  Zalkin Law Firm flooded with calls from ex-JWs

  yesterday, i posted a question for a friend in texas as to whom he should contact to report sexual abuse from the 1960s by a jw pioneer/elder who is now deceased.

  (incidentally, there are plenty of people who are still alive and in the organization who were very aware of the circumstances and who can be summoned to give testimony regarding these accusations.

  ) so, my friend called the zalkin law firm.

  The further a society drifts from the truth, the more they hate those who speak it - George Orwell..

  You substitute a society for "The Society" I guess.

  why the shunning if someone leaves?

  why are they working so hard to keep everyone in?

  is it money?

  Shunning is quarantine infection control, pure and simple, protection from highly contagious realities.
