  JW’s and Charity Organizations

  by longgone in

  i was wondering if anyone is aware of the jw’s in general being involved financially and/or as volunteers in charity organizations?

  i was a born in jw for 56 years and left in 2016. as far as i remember there was never any encouragement to help in the community in any way.

  including soup kitchens, tutoring at schools, united way, etc.

  The congregations register as a charity and claim they provide "counselling services to the community". They also claim they they provide a community space.

  What they mean is, they do bugger all real charitable work and try to categorize enforcement of their own rules as "counselling" (telling people off) to get the tax breaks. Good luck using the community space unless you suck up all their rules.

  The clumsy hand of government, allowing it to happen. It's why charities in general are often such money making / tax-avoidance scams.

  I am empathising with the community who are really angry at this and yet again, have it turned around on us, anyone who dares to question Lloyd. Rant over. Love to you all.

  Don't let that rancid (perfect word!) jerk intrude in your life, don't lose sleep over him and don't worry about his little group of sycophants who can't see what he is or, more accurately, lack the morality to care.

  The majority of decent people see-through things and recognize people's true character, whether good or bad.

  I'm sorry I wasn't more aware of what he was doing to other people on other platforms so that I could have offered more support at the time.

  The funny thing though, is that the government decided they wanted to move some of the trucks.

  Q: "How do you move a truck?"

  A: "You call a tow tr ..."

  Q: "A what now?"

  A: "A tow tru ... ah I see the problem!"

  Yeah, who drives tow trucks and who's side are they on? So they are refusing ... they have more moral fibre than the RCMP.

  "How many trucks can a Trudeau tow if the tow trucks won’t tow trucks?"

  They arrested some small old guy yesterday who'd just honked his horn. Incredibly rough and aggressive, that was totally unnecessary.

  The RCMP quickly become the government's jack-booted thugs.

  And for contrast, when there were leftist protestors doing dangerous shit like putting things onto railway lines they stood idly by, while their masters told them to stand-down.

  Every RCMP officer needs to pick a side and decide if they signed up to uphold the law or just "follow orders". One is always the wrong side of history and they will lose support of law abiding citizens if they repeatedly make the wrong choice.

  The voting machines that caused so many issues in the US? They are made in Canada, and the company shared office space with some left-wing Soros group apparently.

  Plus the East of Canada are all dumb-asses and the voting system is biased to them.

  Western Canada would like to join parts of the US. You'll like us ... we have oil.

  The way he reacted, I think he’s got something worse to hide. And I think it will all be coming out soon.

  His instinct when caught in a lie is to try to get out of it by telling another lie. That was what his "I need a mental health break" claim was, and I said at the time he was trying to pre-empt something - I was right!

  So every time he says something, just think - what is the purpose of this lie? What is he trying to hid, who is he trying to discredit or what is he attempting to ward off?

  Because it's never the truth that comes out of his mouth. It's always self-serving in some way.

  Yeah, back then he'd be contradicting the teachings coming from the governing body, so under the rules he was an apostate. Because it doesn't matter who is right or wrong under their regime.

  Now he's part of the regime and is happy to benefit from the blanket "I'm automatically correct, even when I'm completely wrong" indoctrination.

  Without the government formulating devision, it's amazing how united people can be.
  

  People forget that Trudeau is an unpopular, minority leader who only just clung on to the last election.

  He's on his way out, he's so past his sell-by date he reeks. But his record of shady corruption shows he'll do anything, so a false-flag to create some outrage and an excuse for heady handed policing is something that wouldn't surprise me.

  The left will do anything to stop workers of the world uniting.

  Oh, the irony ...

  It looks like the government is disappointed that there has been no violence or crime.

  The truckers and supporters have been cleaning the streets, feeding the homeless and generally having a party with bouncy castles and BBQs.

  I saw a tweet the other day that they have declared "Shania Law" ... as they were all having a big line-dance in the street.

  The government doesn't like unity and will do their best to instigate an excuse for their thuggery. There has already been an arson attempt which they are trying to claim was done by trucker supporters but really, one person with purple hair and another wearing a mask? We're supposed to believe they are anti-mask protesters? Really?

  Oh, and another Antifa terrorist tried to run some protestors down, which has obviously been ignored by the state controlled, Trudeau funded, scum CBC media. Imagine if a Trump supporter tried to run some BLM down ... how much coverage would that get?
