  I do not believe in a literal place of hellfire, but if there was such a place, surely Watchtower Lawyers would be there.

  
  

  Leviticus 14:43-45

  
  

  "If, though, the contamination returns and breaks out in the house after the stones were torn out and the house was scraped and replastered, the priest will then go in and inspect it. If the contamination has spread in the house, it is malignant leprosy in the house. The house is unclean. He will then have the house pulled down—its stones, its timbers, and all the plaster and mortar of the house—and carried outside the city to an unclean place."

  
  

  In Bible times, sometimes if a house was so incredibly unclean, you couldn't fix it. The whole house had to be taken down.

  2 Peter 3:7

  
  

  "But by the same word the heavens and the earth that now exist are reserved for fire and are being kept until the day of judgment and of destruction of the ungodly people."

  
  

  The WTBT$ is one of many religious "houses" that are incredibly unclean. The figurative "fire" of Jesus' illustrations and of Revelation will soon "burn down" the disgusting religious institutions that wrongly claim to represent God's will - including the WTBT$ and their reproachful "legal" department.

  
  

  Matthew 24:50,51

  
  

  "...the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and in an hour that he does not know, and he will punish him with the greatest severity and will assign him his place with the hypocrites. There is where his weeping and the gnashing of his teeth will be."

  
  

  Matthew 13:49,50

  
  

  "That is how it will be in the conclusion of the system of things. The angels will go out and separate the wicked from among the righteous and will cast them into the fiery furnace. There is where their weeping and the gnashing of their teeth will be."

  Mandated Shunning is a Crime

  by Lee Marsh in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  mandated shunning is on the rise around the world with devastating effects on millions of people.

  shunning that is mandated by organized groups to its members is a form of both physical and psychological violence against those people being shunned and cut off from their family and life-long relationships.

  mandated shunning means that the shunning is ordered from the top down.

  "forced - obtained or imposed by coercion or physical power

  
  

  coerce - persuade (an unwilling person) to do something by using force or threats; obtain (something) by using force or threats" (definitions from oxford languages)

  
  

  The FD$/GB/WTBT$ falsely claim to represent the God of the Bible, but then they disregard His clear commands on showing love and respect for life. The FD$/GB/WTBT$ do threaten the people they have influence over. They do carry out the threats when they cut the people off from their social groups and also sometimes their physical resources.

  
  

  "18 U.S. Code § 912 - Officer or employee of the United States

  Whoever falsely assumes or pretends to be an officer or employee acting under the authority of the United States or any department, agency or officer thereof, and acts as such, or in such pretended character demands or obtains any money, paper, document, or thing of value, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

  (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 742; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, § 330016(1)(H), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2147.)"

  
  

  In the United States, it is illegal to falsely assume to be an officer acting under the authority of the United States.

  
  

  How much more so it is illegal for the FD$/WTBT$ to falsely claim to be representing the God of Love when they enforce their ostracism doctrine that has a basis in Greek philosophy rather than the law of the Christ!

  
  

  When the governments of the nations dismantle the WTBT$, Jehovah will not stand in their way. He will give them the strength and desire to do it, because it is in harmony with His will.

  
  

  "It is God’s minister, an avenger to express wrath against the one practicing what is bad."

  
  

  May you have God's speed and blessing in your work, Lee.💖

  The Pharisaical Persuasion

  the pharisaical persuasion by stephane maillet.

  the jews searched the scriptures daily because they thought salvation was within themselves.

  they knew the law yet interpreted the text to their desires, burdening the people with heavy traditions and ordinances.

  "Now the Pharisees, who were money lovers, were listening to all these things, and they began to sneer at him. So he said to them: “You are those who declare yourselves righteous before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is considered exalted by men is a disgusting thing in God’s sight."

  "in the playing of dice of men" also translated "trickery of men" at Ephesians 4:14...

  
  

  "So we should no longer be children, tossed about as by waves and carried here and there by every wind of teaching by means of the trickery of men, by means of cunning in deceptive schemes."

  
  

  According to this verse, every single JW is "gambling" with their life when they follow the leaders of the WTBT$.

  
  

  (It seems to me that buying a lotto ticket is a lot safer bet than following the GB/FD$. "If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.")

  @nicolaou, I am now dismissive of evolutionary science too😜, but I love atheists. 🥰🫶(That's my background - they're my peeps...)

  
  

  @Vander and @LongHairGal, I agree with you that he has some nice videos and his experience with the JC at the WT shows the ridiculousness of the JWBorg.

  
  

  What I see happening with Eric is something similar to the Solomon/Jeroboam thing in the Bible, where Jeroboam initially was approved by God but then went and made his own golden calves in Bethel for the people to worship. Eric saw the hypocrisy in the JWBorg and was hurt by it, but then he went and established another cult somewhere else. It has elements of truth woven in, but also elements of falsehood that lead his followers to sin against Jehovah just as much as the WTBT$. When you confront him on this, he reacts just like Jeroboam did. His "altars" and false doctrines will be torn down too when all religious institutions are removed shortly. He would do well to dissolve his 501c before that time, but he won't listen.

  
  

  @EricWilson: "Woe whenever all men speak well of you, for this is what their forefathers did to the false prophets."

  
  

  "This is what Jehovah the God of Israel says concerning you, Barʹuch, ‘You have said: “Woe to me, for Jehovah has added grief to my pain! I am weary from my groaning, and I have found no resting-place.”’ “You should say to him, ‘This is what Jehovah says: “Look! What I have built up I am tearing down, and what I have planted I am uprooting—the entire land. But you are seeking great things for yourself. Stop seeking such things.”’ “‘For I am about to bring a calamity on all flesh,’ declares Jehovah, ‘and wherever you may go, I will grant you your life as a spoil.’"

  When I questioned Eric Wilson via email about his "donations" arrangement, he reacted negatively. Then when I tried to talk to him on his forum, he blocked the comment and posted a different "Good News Association" link (his 501c is also registered under that name, but there are several with that name - his name is on the linked IRS paperwork below) and said basically "that's not me" in order to mislead his "flock" that he is happily fleecing to finance his trips to Europe. "You received free, give free" means don't charge people for Bible info that should be free. Zoom meetings and a website doesn't cost that much. You can get a Zoom account for a few bucks and you can get a free website from weebly. What's the point in asking for monthly repeated donations? 🤑🤑🤑 He's a fraud who uses fancy vocab words to mislead those who just escaped from JWBorg. (He loves to throw around the word "exegesis" whenever you show him a scripture that doesn't support his false doctrines.) He's happy for people to leave the JWBorg and join him so they can put their donations in his box. He's got a niche. He's a false shepherd tickling the ears of naive sheep. He mixes truth with falsehoods. He has some informative videos, but he mixes in a hook, just like the JWBorg does. If you are wise, you'll stay far away from him.

  One of the reasons the attorney general can dissolve a religious corporation is "fraudulent solicitation of funds."

  
  

  None of the videos or articles on the JWBorg website talk about the millions of dollars used to settle CSA cases.

  
  

  How many of the videos or articles on the JWBorg website talk about the purchase of a home for an ex-governing body member?

  
  

  When a person signs up to give a recurring monthly donation, they are sent an automated monthly email from JWBorg that talks about how the donations are used. The stories mention building KHs in far-flung places, or providing literature for less fortunate ones. Nothing is mentioned about the CSA cases and paying for the damage done by pedophiles the JWBorg protected.

  
  

  The headquarters people don't apologize for the CSA, but they make the rank and file pay for the damages done by it.

  
  

  They say: "We love you very much!" 🤑🤮

  Inurement: "The term inurement is defined as an insider (an officer, director, key employee, or anyone related to those individuals) in a nonprofit unfairly benefiting from a nonprofit’s resources by virtue of position." https://www.501c3.org/dangers-of-nonprofit-inurement-and-private-benefit/

  
  

  Under "Jeopardizing Tax-Exempt Status", the IRS Publication 1828 (Tax Guide for Churches and Religious Organizations) lists "Inurement and Private Benefit" as possible disqualifying factors of tax-exempt status...also in section on "Special Rules for Compensation of Ministers" under "Parsonage or Housing Allowances" it says "The minister's church or other qualified organization must designate the housing allowance by official action taken in advance of the payment. If a minister is employed and paid by a local congregation, a designation by a national church agency won't be effective. The local congregation must make the designation."

  
  

  https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p1828.pdf

  
  

  Is the home in North Carolina considered a parsonage? Was the housing allowance designated in advance by official action? Was the local congregation involved, since that is where he is serving? Could the tax-exempt status be jeopardized by means of inurement?

  
  

  Also, regarding the CSA cases and social damage from shunning, do those put WTBT$ in "violation of public interest" and therefore at risk of being involuntarily dissolved by the attorney general?

  
  

  Public Interest: "public interest is "the welfare or well-being of the general public" and society." (wikipedia)
