Will the Watchtower Company in the near future start asking for a tithe?

by Sour Grapes in

it appears that the borg has some financial issues and i would think they are related to the hush money being paid out for the child molestation lawsuits to protect the guilty cult members and the fine untarnished reputation of the jdubs.. we have seen how much the borg refers to the hebrew scriptures for their guiding principles whenever it suits the borg's needs.

tithing certainly is laced throughout the old testament.

under the mosaic law, there were three tithes.

It wouldn`t surprise me in the least though I don` t think they would call it a tithe they will come up with some other doozy name for it.

JW`s/GB have always criticized Christendom about how they collect money only to follow suit later on down the track.

Never will they ask or beg for money ,how is that going today ?

Never will they put in a system where you can use your credit card ,how is that going today ?

Cancelling all KH loans Yea went up the cry only to be told that each congregation can now donate that same amount indefinitely .

Not to mention the other gifts to the Society in wills , deceased estates , etc ,etc,.

Oh did I mention videos designed for children asking them to donate their ice cream money /pocket money towards the kingdom work ?

How long is a generation?

by LevelThePlayingField in

what splain does in his talk and chart illustration is make the leap that a generation can have two groups.

and in this case the two groups span more than 108 years.

but no where in scripture is there ever a notion that a generation has two groups.

Very good post LTPF and you too Vander.h 7...,adding to many previous posts showing how ludicrous this teaching is without any Biblical foundation at all

You really have to wonder at the level of intelligence existing in the Jehovah`s Witness religion today that they accept such a doctrine so willingly.

Trey is still on top of it!

by cha ching in

there is still a chance that the watchtower files zalkin received, will surface again in the future!

I second what flipper has posted ,it just boggles my mind .WTF ?

Zalkin IS in possession of the WT documents naming thousands of potentially dangerous child molesters that were never reported to police authorities and these documents are under a " protective order " from the courts so these offenses cannot be discussed or shared with law enforcement agencies, reporters or the public. ??????

Something just does not add up here , how can this be possible ?

It has often been said that the law is an ASS ,this just seems to confirm it.

Sunday's Watchtower Study March 18... Another Money Appeal

by BluesBrother in

january 2018 issue "why give to the one who has everything?

an unashamed contribution appeal... this one with the most manipulative language i can imagine... it may have been commented on before, but i am going to anyway.. p5 quote.

"would you not agree that jehovah is worthy of all the glory and honor that we can give him by offering the best that we have?

smiddy3

What kind of God is this JEHOVAH that he needs money that was invented by humans to manage their affairs among each other ?

When Jehovah God created all the mineral wealth in the world that humans and GOD put value on such as Diamonds,Gold ,Silver ,and a host of other precious metals and gemstones ?

Why can`t he just point his finger to a rich deposit to the Governing Body and just say hey dig here .!

HELLOOOOOOO

And the Almighty God Jehovah wants / begs for paper /plastic money to further kingdom interests ?

Give me a break.

another business idea for watchtower PLC

by stan livedeath in

its been mentioned before---care homes.

in the uk there are a few ( no idea how many ) jireh care homes--loosely connected with the watchtower.. but take this on board.

the dubs are an ever aging customer base.. in the uk, lots of the ageing population end their years in privately run care homes.

smiddy3

Personally I think it would be hell on earth to be subjected to that in your latter years .

Thank God I`m an Atheist.

Jah -jireh ( charity ) Homes are solely for aged Jehovah`s Witnesses that have been set up by Jehovah`s Witness business people and not operated by the WTB&TS .or so they say but who knows ?

They first started about 30 years ago in some areas

The criteria for getting into one of these homes providing you have the money is you must be in good standing in the congregation you have come from and you continue as far as practical in your circumstances to attend KH meetings at the site and participate in FS in one way or another depending on your ability in keeping with your dedication to Jehovah.

They have a web-site for you to peruse . Jah-Jireh (Charity ) Homes

Their have been horror stories about them as well as praises about them , maybe it all depends on ones spirituality or lack of.

The increase in the Anointed Ones

by Sour Grapes in

to illustrate how the botchtower's groupies are losing brain cells...last year an elder told me some of the increase in the anointed is due to those who have been unfaithful and needed to be replaced.

when i was in first grade i knew that if i had 10 marbles and i lost one and a friend gave me a marble to replace the one i lost that i once again had 10 not 11 marbles.. jdubs are very good at not thinking..

smiddy3

The reason for the increase of the Anointed is simply because the Jdubs who still have half a brain cell left have decided that the big A is not coming in their lifetime and have decided to go to heaven at death rather than wait forever in the grave where they will rot or be burnt up in a crematorium .
