@ DARK - Assumed slimboyfat was quoting overall expenditure/savings for the year = "Also notice the financial figure is down: $202 million spent this year compared with $213 million last year."

Silly me, the org will never be transparent about its balance sheets.

i'd like to see them try and capitalise on ramadan by changing that religious festival's name in a similar way.

Why do Jehovah`s Witnesses believe everything will be Hunky Dory after Armageddon ? I have news for them.

by smiddy3 in

they seem to think that all they will do is enjoy a carefree life with little or no concerns problems or worries whereas nothing could be further from the truth... according to the bible.. without trying to speculate on these concerns or problems during this one thousand year reign of christ jesus ,lets hear what the bible has to say about the end of his thousand year reign.. rev.20:7-10 satan is to be let out of his prison {as if he hasn`t done enough damage in 6000 years of roaming about in the earth at the same time fraternizing with jesus and jehovah in heaven} i digress.. and the reason he is let out of prison ,lo and behold ,is to mislead those nations in the four corners of the earth gog and magog to gather them together for the war.

{ here we go again ,armageddon didn`t solve anything we have to go through another one.

} 1000 years later.. now get this it`s not just some isolated little skirmish with a few hundred or even a few thousand dissenters ,as the bible states they number the sands of the seashore and they advanced over the breadth of the earth and encircled the camp {not a nation but a camp} of the holy ones.and the beloved city.. with that description it would seem the holy ones are in the minority and the opposes apparently were spread over all the earth.. so that description of the bible to me about jc 1000 rule does not appear to be one of living in a paradise , that is not on the agenda until after jesus christ 1000 year reign and only if you are lucky enough to survive another test/war of your loyalty after all you have gone through previously.. i wonder if this realization is one of the reasons why so many now are claiming to be of the anointed because as one of the other sheep you have to pass another test after the 1000 years of christ jesus rule whereas of one of the anointed on death now you go straight to heaven ..

Ah Smiddy, you're running wayyyyyyyyyyyyy ahead of the chariot - "They seem to think that all they will do is enjoy a carefree life with little or no concerns problems or worries."

The vast majority/all of JW's are totally oblivious to their "faithful slave's" twisted teaching of John 5:28,29 which claims that these sins - the vile things - will be practiced after the resurrection, i.e. during the 1000 year reign. So the JW paradise isn't going to be as carefree as they think!

The operative word in the verse being "practiced" - not one-off sins.

Greetings everyone! Newly signed up but not new to the site.

by GTSfromSY in

my (very fake) name is gabriel syme or gabe for short.

i have been lurking in the shadows for many years and i want to give all here a heartfelt thank you for all your indirect support.

this website, as well as youtube, and eventually reddit, were all key in me finally accepting the “truth” being not that at all.

The Fall Guy

Welcome Gabe. I'm sure your "faith" in TTTATT will be reinforced now that you have "come out."

Do You Feels That Your Life Was Ruined Because of Ypur JW Experience?

by minimus in

jw
friends

i know that some are upset because of the time lost because of ever having been a witness.

have you moved on as an ex jw or are you stil devastated because of your past jw lige?.

The Fall Guy

Years ago, certain steel components were heat treated in baths of molten salt and then a furnace, in order for them to withstand the stresses of the rigours to which they'd be subjected. Some components were twisted by the experience and discarded. The parts which endured could then take whatever came their way.

Ruined? Definitely not. More determined and resilient.

"A nonprofit is tax exempt under 501(c)(3) requirements if it is either a religious, charitable, or educational based organization.

The key aspects of nonprofits is accountability, trustworthiness, honesty, and openness to every person who has invested their time, money, and faith into the organization. Nonprofit organizations are accountable to the donors, funders, volunteers, program recipients, and the public community. In many aspects, non-profits are similar to corporate business entities, though there are often significant differences. A notable exception to this involves churches, which are often not required to disclose finances to anyone, including church members." (WikiPedia)
