Did you know WTBTS applied for Holocaust compensation?

by umbertoecho in

did you know that the wtbts applied for these compensation funds?

i had no idea and if this has already been addressed then so be it.

i find it interesting due to the fact that so much is made of the jws being in camps during ww2 and nothing else is expressed about the other millions who died in these camps.

"did the Org get any I wonder?"

Not that I can gather. It seems they only awarded money to individuals or families of victims.

Unless you count the 6% administrative expenditure the JW victim fund charged :)

Of the $911 356 the Jehovah's Witness Holocaust-Era Survivor Fund received for dispersal to 1876 beneficiaries, they charged 6% ($54871) in administrative costs.

Who oversees the money for the WT?

by John Aquila in

when the wt sells property for a billion dollars profit, who decides what that money is going to be used for?.

when all the money comes in from all the kingdom halls bank accounts worldwide, did all that money go into one big account and who has authority to spend it and cut some checks to whoever?

when all the monthly donations come in to the watchtower headquarters, who decides distribution, and to who?

Their financial advisers are Merrill-Lynch.

Can someone explain to me ......

by notoneoftheboys in

i was never told before i got baptised that i would loose my family if i got disfellowshipped.. no one told me i would get disfellowshipped if i had a blood transfusion.

no one told me that the gb was all powerful and tolerate no dissention.

that if i spoke to a d/f person i would get disfellowshipped.. no one told me in my marriage bed there were rules if broken d/f shipping resulted.. i was told my brothers would die or care for me.

I am sorry no-one told you. You gotta read the fine print with these big corporations hey. They make their contracts air tight and if you breach you have to pay the piper. Unfortunately in the information age the Satanic Internet is educating people before they sign so...today its vitally important to get children from as young as ten years old (or sometimes even younger) baptized as soon as possible. This is because:

1. There's less chance that someone might tell the prospective candidate of the possible negative aspects of their decision. Who wants to spoil a young child's fairy tale?

2. The prospective candidate e.g. child would most probably not even have the ability to understand the full implications of their decision and

3. Such a young candidate would probably not possess the mental faculties to ask deep probing questions about the implications of their life decision.

But its all good. Lock them into the system while they're young.

To DA or not to DA, that is the question?

by dubstepped in

let me preface this by saying that i don't expect anyone here to make my decision for me.

i do however note that like the bible says, in the multitude of counselors there is wisdom, and this is a huge decision, so i wanted to put it out there for discussion.

i really appreciate your words of wisdom, as this affects not just me but my wife also, as we find ourselves in the same boat.

FreeGirl2006 is correct. Don't play by their rules and don't give them power over you.

I Disassociated myself and of course I had to pay the price. In retrospect it was silly of me.

Fisherperson hand me that flashlight!

_Morpheus what was the general feeling like to work at Bethel? I mean if you work at IBM its more formal than Google for example. So what was the corporate culture like?

Were there any undercurrents in the 'company'? For example I used to work for a company where although it was all smiles for the clients, in the backroom everyone was on edge about layoffs.

Oh yes and if you answer untruthfully I've got these crocodile clips and this battery...
