  Add to this the cuts of bethelite and special pioneers, the shrinking of the magazines sizes down to 16 pages, the magazines now being bi-monthly, the selling of bethel compounds, the consolidation of congregations in order to sell Kingdom Hall buildings, the constant asking for money, and you get a clear picture that things are not so well financially down at the supposed House of God.
  

  I totally disagree. People are in such denial about what's really happening! Again, the WT has a real estate business. They no longer rely on preaching and publications, nor they have ever cared about their people. They now have a thriving real estate business. They made gazillions of startup money in their business by having all their KHs turned over to them.

  All, each and every single decision they make is solely based on the fact that they have a different source of money making. Here's the contact info:

  Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc.
  Brooklyn Real Estate Office
  25 Columbia Heights
  Brooklyn, New York 11201
  (718) 560-5001 Phone

  Poor of those who are still believing that the WT gives a rat's ass about them. Good luck, suckers.

  The biggest turn off about pretty much every religion I know is the constant catastrophic view of everything. According to most religions, the world is never worth saving, people are bad and deserve to die, and even those living obediently are living out of mercy not because they deserve it, "god's" vengeance is always about destroying, killing or humiliating something or someone, and the hideous list of negativity goes on.

  Disgusting.

  "Just have faith in Jehovah..."

  i recently spoke to an old friend of mine who is still under the clutches of the watchtower.

  a while back, i had told him about all the child sex abuse coverups, false prophecies, false doctrines etc.

  he was really shocked and surprised.

  Like, is he braindead?
  

  They are not braindead, they are brainwashed.

  Now you can see how the WT is a negative influence in people. If you have another opportunity to talking to him, try a different tactic. A brainwashed, severely indoctrinated person may not react unless you address their feelings. Try inquiring about what really keeps him a JW, instead of trying to reason with him. You may get a different reaction if you look into what is that the WT brings to his life that gives him comfort.

  i've done a few of these over the years but this time it's very simple.. beware jc, the bearded man who promises salvation and raises the hopes of many.

  read his words of division if you're ever tempted to join his followers, or just ignore him and enjoy your life.

  happy holidays everyone!

  hard to answer this questions for any Puerto Rican. Gossip (bochinche) is the number one activity in my culture. I guess that being an island there's nowhere else to go so people turn to each other.

  That aside, I think gossip is the real way congregations are run. A lot of people are in denial about how effective a gossip related system helps maintaining control of the people in it. It's the perfect manipulation from the WT since they keep their people at bay by letting it happen and their hands are clean.

  Do you notice how they have so strong hold of every single other aspect of people's behavior, education, life decisions, etc, but when it comes to gossip they address it only when it doesn't lead the way they want it to go? They do not attack gossiping in congregations as strongly as any other behavior, and that's because there's something valuable in it for their interest.

  So to answer the question, gossip, especially the malicious, slanderous type is very common in every congregation, as it is part of the JW culture.
