  New Watchtower president

  by neat blue dog in

  2. bible

  the main corporation is two words "watch tower" society of pennsylvania.

  don adams took over for milton henschel in 2000 when the governing body cut all corporate ties, and when he died robert ciranko took over for him in 2014.. the next major corporation in line is the one word "watchtower" society of new york.

  the jw's first black corporate president, leon weaver jr., was president of this one up until recently.

  A couple of things that came to my mind :

  How many times should you forgive your brother ? seven times ? no seventy seven times.

  The prodigal son : Did he have to stay out in the barn for twelve months or more before he was accepted back into the family ?

  Do not be judging one another .

  He/she who is without sin you cast the first stone.

  And if you come up with scriptures that contradict or challenge what I have said here ,what does that tell you about the Bible.

  But where is all of that money going from all of these sales in Brooklyn and elsewhere that far exceeds the amount of money needed for the Warwick project ?

  My question is : What individual or body of individuals have control over the millions of dollars that the JW/WT religion have made from all of these sell offs of property in Brooklyn /New York State ?

  Is it the G.B. members / lawyers ? that control all of this money together or who ?

  Human nature being what it is someone has their finger in the pie .

  Anthony Morris buys 12 bottles of top shelf scotch worth over $800 ,that`s only one thing we have stumbled upon what else has been going on all of these years , what else have the other G.B. members been doing skimming the cream off the top.living the life only you and I can dream about ?

  call me a cynic but I wouldn`t put anything past them .

  i had this article pop up about the darksilver case.

  it says a federal magistrate in san francisco has now ruled that darksilver can remain anonymous but then it says except for identification to lawyers for the religion’s watchtower publication.

  Aren`t these lawyers themselves practicing Jehovah`s Witnesses ? or at least some of them ?

  Here in Australia Vincent Toole is a lawyer for WT and he is also a JW. He was anything but honest when he gave his testimony to the A.R.C. for WT using theocratic warfare tactics to blindside the Royal commission investigating Child sexual Abuse in institutions.

  Darksilver has been screwed over. His cover has been blown.

  The most frustrating thing about waking up...

  by HiddenPimo in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  you know i have heard 'apostate lies' for so long and thought that is exactly what they were.. what changed?.

  jw-broadcasting and the leaks of real meetings.

  the leaking of watchtower letters and documents.. nothing penned by a former jw or those that have indeed manipulated the literature to appear wrong did anything good.. how can you watch the arc vidoes and think g. jackson is ok ?.

  Bloody Hell ,my heart goes out to you guys of both sexes where one partner learns the TTATT and the other partner still can`t see it .

  It would be bloody frustrating and I take my hat off to all of you for being so patient and understanding with your spouse during this time and hopefully in time they will come around to the truth.

  And when that is not the case I hope you get on with your life and lead a productive one ,where one door closes and another one opens up.

  Activism ideas for our local communities

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been thinking of dignified ways to raise awareness about the toxicity of the jw religion in my local community.. so, yesterday, i phoned my local council head office to query the carts that are set up in several places in our town.. i was very polite and professional, and asked the council clerk if they were aware that a religious cult sets up its propaganda stands on council property near families and children on a regular basis.. i said:.

  "while i am sure they may be very nice people, the group they represent teaches things that appear to me to be in direct conflict with the values and ethics of our local community and council.".

  "their initial message seems pleasant, but i know for example, they are a very misogynistic and homophobic group.

  Rank and file Jehovah`s Witnesses are no more than volunteers ,unpaid volunteers at that and if there is any problem that a volunteer experiences in the door to door ministry or anywhere else / the onus is on him or her to address the problem financial or otherwise,it is not the responsibility of the WTB&TS .

  They are not employees of the Jehovah`s Witness Organization / WTB&TS / or any of its corporations .

  They have no liability or damages charged to them for those who volunteer their services to them.

  The mother keeps her daughters phone number on so that her daughter will know she is being shunned when the mother does not acknowledge her call.

  That is the real evil with this CULT.

  I should print this out and attach it as an Appendix to my NWT of the Bible to show the next JW that calls at my door.
