DoC most religions are nothing like the WT .
SlimboyFat you're right, but when people believe that they are loaning money and get ripped off that is very different to knowingly spending Johnny's inheritance.

2010/31 New York Times, "They’re Giving Scammers All Their Money. The Kids Can’t Stop Them." Has Watchtower scammed your family?
by Balaamsass2 inthe seniors in our family were scammed by watchtower, for over 7 figures.
an interesting read today to give some insight.. one of the most egregious con-artists is watchtower bible and tract society the “legal” entity for jehovah’s witnesses.
many retired jehovah’s witnesses have been targeted over the years to “loan” money for various “special projects” to further the “preaching work”, only to find they are never to be repaid.

How to Have Jehovah's Witnesses Go Away on WikiHow
by jwundubbed ini was looking up how to do something and found this awesome piece of writing.
it's really good information... and it made me chuckle too.
the picture over "understand the beliefs" is priceless to me.

When JWs knocked on my daughter's door my teenage granddaughter told them that the family were Satanists.
They couldn't get away quick enough and never went back .

JWN, 23 years posting Blondie
by blondie incan i call you friends, i think so after 23 years posting here.
i am dismayed how jwn is being "dominated" or taken over by a few posters, peppering the comments.
in the past, the admin did not approve of this and did remove some posters from jwn.

May l , as a never a JW , put my two penny worth in .
I have certainly learnt an awful lot about a lot of things since joining this group
Certainly about the WT but also about people in general
It's been a real eye opener so thank you to all of you .

LauraLynn exactly , the sermons in churches are based on the Bible- the Gospel.
One of our lay readers, Ray , often comes out with what he will admit are his thoughts on a passage. He will usually then say " you may disagree with my interpretation , that's fine and l hope that some of you do " . His hope is to start us thinking and discussing.
It is often said that you can read the same verse again after a few years and get something different from it . According to where you are on your spiritual journey.
This is , l suspect, quite different from the JW attitude.

As far as l know we , the British don't have these religious satellite channels. Brits don't go in for that kind of " give us your money for a blessing " stuff .
I have done some research and this whole " tomorrow is our last day " thing does seem to be mainly American.
As l said no Catholics, Anglicans, Baptists or Methodists do the date predictions and that covers probably 95% of British Christians.
Certainly in Watchtower land this appears to be about control and l suspect that the mainly Evangelicals who indulge use it for the same purpose.

I am totally bemused by the OP . As l may have mentioned before ( a couple of times 😂) l am a life long British Anglican. I have never heard anyone claim that we are in the last days / end times etc.
We know that Jesus said that ONLY the Father knows when the end will come . We believe that you should live each day as if it is your last and speculation about times and dates just detracts from doing God's work in the every day.
As far as l know Catholics don't go in for these predictions nor do Baptists or Methodists. That covers the majority of British Christians .
