World Wide Work Resolution Doubled Overnight

by JW_Rogue in

during covid-19 crisis our hall decides to double the amount sent to hq from our local account.

the resolution is unanimously supported, no questions asked.

has anyone else had this happen?.

In my case around 5K plus the resolution around 3...4 euro per people. Anyway I think is quite important sign. They are scratching the end of the barrel! Basically my congregation as all the other around the world has no money left in the bank account. Plus each month's will send the money. And let see in how much time we can build again the three-four months saving back.

Next time they need money they must start to sell property or reduce dramatically people in special services. There is nothing left in the congregation anymore. Let see... I see the light at the end of the tunnel.... I hope the ARC and the other "persecution" will give the last push to ruin economically this organization.

Scriptural seperation

by road to nowhere in

extreme abuse or non support how about mild physical abuse?

or as i know of, a sister who wanted a bigger house and left.

she also encouraged adultery sk she could move on.

In the JW world there is all the spectrum of humanity. Good and bad... Normal and sociopath....

They are not so clean as they described...

My letter of disassociation, what do you think?

by James Jack in

dear brothers, july 27, 2020. in 1919, the president of the watchtower society made a bold prediction, “millions now living will never die”.

that quotation was constantly repeated by the organization till the year 2000 when they realized that everyone in attendance at that assembly, who listened to j.r. rutherford repeat those words, are dead.. that teaching has guided my life.

statements were repeatedly made at assemblies, conventions and in print that there was no career in “this system of things” so you don’t need a job with benefits or retirement, your fulltime job is to “preach the good news”!

Good luck!

Hello!

by Caedus in

been reading here for a few years.. 4th gen jw, born and raised, served for a few years which was the catalyst for me.

the politics, backstabbing, slandering and coercive tactics in particular caused a constant internal struggle.

i started researching and focused only on the stories of ex-elders/servants to see if i was the only one - i wasn't.. the rest is history..
