  Cart Witnessing On Their Wedding Day

  by pale.emperor in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this photo is doing the rounds on jw inspirational on instagram.

  although the brothers and sisters think this is "oh so amazing" and "so cool" it's actually very sad and quite shocking.

  what, people cant even enjoy their wedding day without the cult invading their special day.

  They look proud of the corporation trolley. Its a shame they don't fully comprehend that the publishing company has destroyed thousands of marriages based on misinformation on careers , having children, they broke up Marriages with rules on oral sex. Baptism of children is its greatest CRIME. My mind and life have needed big readjustments , I hate what the church has done to its kids. The tears of those dead due to suicide after disfellowshipping ,can bee seen in Gods eye.

  How do we know JWs are wrong and how do we convince others JWs are wrong: logic versus persuasion

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we like to think we are logical and have good reasons for for our beliefs.

  no more so than when it comes to our reasons for rejecting the truth claims of jws.

  we reject their version of history, such as the date of the fall of jerusalem, because it doesn't agree with the historical evidence.

  You can't love thy neighbor if you won't associate at his BBQ, you can't convince or change another person it has to come from their convictions.

  You are now a member of " the broken family " mob who understand the evils of Disfellowshipping. Empathy comes best from those who have suffered, your advice given on here is given with pure motives. These are REAL sad stories that have left some permanent injuries to the heart.

  I'm no expert in the family relation department but for it to survive you have to have your sanity, your own sanity first then the little girl ,she's your little princess and you are her protective knight. Well how to juggle two women in the mind would give me headache.

  WTS Rich or Hurting for $$$

  by Zeds Dead in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  seen a few discussions asking if the wts are hurting for $$ or still sitting on a mountain of gold.. regardless of their child abuse legal fees and ongoing broadcasting for more dough, i believe they have piles and piles of cash.. talked with a diff'd accountant who sat in the accounting dept.

  at the conventions for years.. a football stadium (or the like) costs them about $70 - 90,000 to rent for a 3 day dub show.

  they take in $400,000 in donations from the r&f.

  Most are failing to see that if you have 8 million adherents, who were encouraged not to have kids, then theses ones leave their estates, as we know these millions now living have died and the jackpot is WT slush fund. I know a lot of JW are poor, but plenty married into wealth or inherited it from some relatives. JWs don't send around a plate at the hall because they want more than what the dish holds.

  Remote Translation Offices (RTO) of Jehovah's Witnesses

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  what do you think about these things.

  it seems like a monumental waste of time and money, a pipe dream of the governing body based on wishful thinking.

  this corporation is going down the tubes with these asshole deluded genius's calling the financial investment shot.. buying chemical dump property around the world to build their financial empire headquarters on while facing massive child molestation lawsuits now and many more in the future means it looking kind of bleak for these messed idiots running things.. http://jw-branchoffices.blogspot.com/p/watchtower-remote-translation-offices.html.

  I reckon the computer geeks running the money machine for mothership would be the most damming leak if there was a Edward Snowden in bethel. I bet these translations houses are for the boys running the money .

  hi guys.

  i could really do with you advice regarding my current state since being disfellowshipped 16 weeks ago.. since being given the boot (i did try to fade but it failed) ive been on a rollacoaster of emotions.

  lately im getting frequent headaches, tiredness and i have about 3 or 4 thoughts running through my mind at all times.. im passed the sadness phase of discovering it's a cult.

  Hi pale emperor,

  I feel wounded after reading your post , I think you might need some reversal therapy my friend, venting and talking help victims on crime. The guys on here hide behind pseudonyms because they still have love for the relatives and childhood experiences but I can assure you their hearts aren't hiding from you.

  Coming to a Kingdom Hall near you

  by FatFreek 2005 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  putting it simply, kingdom halls are no longer the property of a local group of the folks that paid for and constructed it.

  the lender, the watchtower society, now says that once a mortgage is satisfied, that congregation must then declare a resolution which says it will continue to make payments, usually equal to the amount they were paying on the mortgage.

  and they must do so indefinitely.

  They say they don't do collections or tithe at hall but wait to its all electronic money and they can sign everyone up for a direct debit withdrawal straight to Warwick then you see big Tony add a few pounds. Or course big Tony it will be giving it straight to God to which Tony is his right hand man.
