  by Rattigan350 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in the january 1, 2015 watchtower it says printing each issue 52,946,000 in 228 languages semimonthly.

  in that 2016 #1 issue watchtower it says produced each issue 58,987,000 in 254 languages monthly.

  what is the difference between printed and produced?.

  Since when have the Society given a commercial enterprise the rights to print their literature and they the JW`s distribute the end product ? In recent years ?

  Correct me if I`m wrong ?

  Welcome leeny ,it takes time to come to grips with what you are learning about the Organization and its leaders and absorbing all of this new information .

  Their is no hurry Armageddon or the Great tribulation are not coming anytime soon.

  Chill out smell the roses and take time to re-educate yourself about Cult religions ,if you havent read Don Cameron`s Book available on line I highly recommend it .

  Take care.

  Then to find out there are even more successful exjw then her on you tube and it’s just plain wonderful.

  Any chance of showing us mere mortals more evidence of these words Crazyguy ? not that I doubt you but I think we are all done with just taking somebody`s word without any evidence to back up the statements.

  You understand. Take care.

  One location could give you one reply the other location could give you another reply ,the two Legal Departments could be referred to as an overlapping Legal reply ?

  what could be more simpler ?

  or you could just conclude that the Legal departments of Jehovah`s Witnesses ,like all of their other departments speak out of both sides of their mouth.

  Is A Major Restructuring At Warwick In The Works Due To Years Of Governing Body Ignorance & Delusion?

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  the possible financial ruin to which faithful & discreet slave/governing body has brought wt corporation, due to all the underhanded/illegal/thoughtless policies as g.o.d(guardians of doctrine) seems to be a very real possibility, as court cases mount against the wt and it's different corporations.. montana just gave a very clear $$$$30million+ shout out to wt, about it's fucked up policies, which lay at the feet of those in charge.

  it seems that some type of no confidence should be expressed and a complete over haul should be happening.

  they can not keep this information secret any more and they are totally delusional ass holes if they think they can talk their way out of this.. therefore i think we shall see some desperate measures to keep this fraudulent organization financially stable and a removal from power those responsible for the mess..

  OK all of you naysayers nocking my 8 Million / $1 =416 Million dollars a year,donation by JW`s .LOL

  Drop it down to 1 million JW`s giving $1 a week every year that`s still a sizeable amount of 52 Million dollars a year and every year for God knows how long ?

  That`s still not a bad result for spreading bullshit is it ?

  Jehovah's Witnesses including its leaders are in the business of lying

  by Finkelstein in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ......endeavored to create an image of the organization which they are a identifying part of.. when you think about this religious organization and most its social ideological expressions are expressed through lying.

  its doctrines are lies and not supported by the bible.. the leaders intentionally twisted doctrines to enhance the proliferation of the literature the wts published, which were a false theology through their interpretation of the bible.

  the proclamation that jws are generally good wholesome living honest people.. there is constant endeavor by the people involved to hold up a pretentious veil of honest righteousness identifying the organization and its adherent followers.

  I hear what your saying Crazyguy ,I too used to think as you did ,not any more .

  They are deliberate liars to their members desperately trying to cling onto the power and authority they have created for themselves.

  And of course the money and life-style they have made for themselves .

  Is it just me ? I had trouble following on in the English translation because it was too fast in going from one sentence to another and you just could not keep up with the pace of it all .

  I think I could only get a third of the gist of what she was saying .....if that ...., which didn`t help at all.

  Thanks not Culty

  Just a thought

  by Gorbatchov in

  2. friends

  tonight watched at prime video the great movie the firm again.

  in 1993, first time in the theatre, made direct a connection with the gb.. now i'm thinking: could jw.org be used for worldwide money laundry?.

  taken in cash, transfering it with worldwide branches under religion cover?.

  It wouldn`t surprise me in the least Gorbatchov , it wouldn`t the first time they resorted to deception to gain advantage .

  Re-inventing their past history ....in other words lying about their past.

  Look at their own publication "Kingdom Interlinear of The Christian Greek Scriptures " in the word for word translation their is no Tetragrammaton ,the four Hebrew letters or any equivalent four Greek letters to represent Gods name in those books .

  Therefore the name /word Jehovah should not be in the New Testament /Christian Greek Scriptures.

  Hang on a minute ,their are over 8 million publishers world wide right ?

  If these 8 million publishers only donated $1 a week ,that`s $8 million dollars for every week of the year in which their are 52 weeks in a year.

  That relates to $416 million dollars every year ,for a great many years that have gone by. And the years still ahead.

  The sale of prime real estate in New York has netted them over a $Billion just this past year alone and their are properties all over the world that they can sell .

  I cant see them having any real financial troubles anytime soon despite the lawsuits over child Sex allegations or convictions .

  That`s just my 2 cents worth.
