KH's Still All Closed- How Bad is WT doing Financially?

by OnTheWayOut in

most churches are back to in-person worship.

not jehovah's witnesses.

is watchtower still managing to fleece the flocks as the sheeple no longer get literature, no longer go to the kh, no longer walk past the donation box?

The Elders sure do know those with money. They came around very often since my Dad was in Oil and cattle. They had no trouble finding the ranch to ask the family for a large donation.

I remember the old Kingdumb songs records with singing on it. I use to mix and scratch that up. My peers loved it.

Should Jehovah’s Witnesses Be Involved In Social Issues?

by minimus in

most religious leaders support social justice causes.

even if they don’t heavily involve themselves in political matters, they still support social community issues.. do you respect when religious leaders involve themselves in the community for the community’s welfare?

?.

No, because they would fix it to benefit them only. More so when money is involved.

Jehovah cares for the poor

by road to nowhere in

the video for midweek.

walking 25 km, stay in a witness home and the topper, selling a chicken for money to feed 2 or 3 families.

all while wearing a tie..

Gee-hovah cares about that last dollar he can grab out of your wallet.

Most of the Kingdumb songs where Cringeworthy. I had an aunt and cousin that would bellow out those tunes every meeting. Talk about Cringeworthy.

As Jw kid growing up, "forced" to go to those dreadful meetings. I would rewrite/sing Kingdumb songs. My personal favorite. " We are Gee-hovah 's Dumbasses! " which was a hit with like minded youth.

I Don't think the jw kids today are afraid of the Elders or the Governing Body, like the jw kids of pre-internet era.

by pistolpete in

something i've notice with born in jw kids posting on reddit, is that they have no problem telling off the elders.

this generation of born in jw kids just have no fear of who the elders represent because they know from researching on the internet, that jehovah is a created character by ancient people, and no different or real, than thanos.. these kids know exactly what's going on with the child sexual abuse in the organization.

they also have read and memorized the elder's book online.
