  They publish the amounts they spend.

  They dont print anything - they dont pay for most of the buildings they use to support, they dont have DOs, they dont do the Special Pioneer thing like they used to, they DONT build halls anymore, they cut down the Branch offices around the world.

  They have stopped spending in somany areas!

  AND - they are getting all the halls in the USA and other countries to pay them monthly like they had mortgages, not to mention they emptied out every halls bankout and put it in their coffers. And donations come in even faster now than ever.

  They are RICHER than ever.

  Tameria2001 - I do agree with you.

  I was an elder for 20 years - and I have to say most of the marriages were not happy, held together by FEAR (DFing), their schedule, meetings, service, assemblies.

  The love many of them had was a mile wide and an inch deep.

  Heard this over and over -- My Mate Will Be SO Perfect in the New System.

  The Truth about the bible

  by TTWSYF in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it really is common sense, but nobody here seems to recognize or acknowledge this blatant and obvious truth.. the holy bible is the result of the catholic liturgy.

  they used these scriptures in their religious practices and confirmed which books would and would not be part of their cannon.

  they picked, preserved and promoted these books and gave 'the word of god' to the world.. i know that pisses off some folks, but it is the truth [not the 'truth'tm].

  You guys are insane

  The Muslim Arbitration Tribunal is a form of alternative dispute resolution which operates under the Arbitration Act 1996 which is available in England. It is one of a range of services (Islamic Sharia Council is another) for Muslims who wish to resolve disputes without recourse to the courts system.[2] According to Machteld Zee, the MAT differs from other Sharia councils in that their ‘core business’ is arbitrating commercial disputes under the Arbitration Act 1996.[3]

  The tribunals were set up by lawyer Faiz-ul-Aqtab Siddiqi and operate in London, Bradford, Manchester, Birmingham and Nuneaton. Two more were originally planned for Glasgow and Edinburgh.[4] Rulings can be enforced in England and Wales by both the County Courts and the High Court. The media have described a system of Islamic Sharia courts which have the power to rule in civil cases.[4][dead link] As of 2008, the courts had dealt with around 100 cases dealing with issues such as inheritance and nuisance neighbours..

  The MAT operates under Section 1 of the Arbitration Act which states that: “the parties should be free to agree how their disputes are resolved, subject only to such safeguards as are necessary in the public interest”.[5] As such it operates within the framework of English law and does not constitute a separate Islamic legal system. Under the Act they are deemed to be "arbitration tribunals".[4][dead link]

  The Muslim Arbitration Tribunal has no powers to grant a divorce which is valid in English and Welsh law.[5][6] A talaq can be granted to recognise divorce.[5][6] A sharia marriage has no bearing on personal status under UK law.[7] The Muslim Arbitration Tribunal has no jurisdiction on criminal matters but can attempt reconciliation between spouses.

  When there is more money going out, than the amount of money coming in, then the governing body proves to the whole world they are not mature enough to handle money.

  There is ABSOLUTELY no way MORE money is going OUT. No way.

  MASS AMNESIA!

  No one remember the in 2015 when they had that special video from the branch that said we are bursting at the seams and need to build thousands of halls IN THE USA!

  No one remembers that right after all congregations were ask to donate as if they had a mortgage every month and also empty their bank accounts "for the building work".

  No one remember the McKindom Halls that were promised. And how halls that were overcrowded with 3,4, or 5 congregations were going to be given new halls.

  And no one blinks an eye when 2 years later they start begging for money (after making 1 billion in Brooklyn sales) and say - we have to CONSOLIDATE halls.

  Yea just 2? :)
  

  BUT they fulfill their own prophecies often.

  Lie 1). When you leave the JWs you will be unhappy..

  I think that can happen often! Not cuz of leaving a fake god, but because:
  A) you just lost all your friends and may have a hard time getting new ones.
  B) you spent your life preaching and have no real career or something you care about.
  C) you may have lost all or most of your family because of shunning. (possibly Mate or Kids).
  D) you realized living forever and putting all the things that were important for your cuz of paradise, was just a crock of horse crap, and you have a long period of mourning and sadness over the life you "lost".

  Tameria2001 - I know first hand of marriages falling apart after leaving the ORG, but because they were forced to marry young and someone they may not really have loved at all. Now that they can Divorce without giving a crap about what Elders think, they often do. But not the reasons they (WT) say for sure.

  Anyone know any former long time Bethelites or circuit overseers?

  by BourneIdentity in

  2. experiences

  as you know, when you work your whole life, you pay into social security.

  at retirement, you collect a paycheck from the government based on a percentage of income you drew for all those years.

  do any of you know anyone that had been at bethel for decades and then were laid off?

  So many of them live at the mercy of some congregation that takes them in.

  An old CO who had to retire because of age and health was taking in by one of the local halls by me.
  They gave him a small apartment, and he lives there with his wife.

  The same happens all over.
