Yeah, I guess it's a bit personal. I'm just a local who knows stuff and see things unfold. All this money-making off the Watchtower. I first caught wind of this on a youtube video.
In the video there is a picture of one of the owners with Gerit Losch. So I've been watching how it unfolds the last couple months. I've been having serious doubts about the Watchtower for the last few years. Seeing all this kind of stuff happen makes me sick. I know Steve personally but he doesn't know that I'm starting to go away as a "fader". But he tells me things. I signed up to this website under a psuedonym so I don't get in trouble from my elders.
There are two competing stores that sell Bethel souvenirs in this little town. The other is called "The Harvest Inn". It's like they're in competition with one another. It just reminds of Jesus when he threw the money changers out of the temple. Just another reason why I must find the courage to leave. I found your website and thought I would share my experience. If anyone has any advise for me, please let me know
