JWs With A Financial Interest In The Org

by JW_Rogue in

through personal experiences which i'd rather not relate because it would give away my identity i have come to a realization.

many brothers own businesses that a greatly supported by witness activities.

when local congregations need some service they will prefer to do business with a jw.

Won't argue with you on that one. The brother who made all the cabinetry (literature counters, kingdom hall signs, front podium and stage ect,,) was none other the nephew to the brother who signed the cheques for services done in Georgetown, Ontario bethel. Andrea Ramseyer was the bethelite and his nephew who had the business was Rick Ramseyer. Before bethel let him do their custom work for them, Rick had to let his employees go because he was always whining he couldn't compete with the big guys.

Last time we did any processing for bethel, our cheques were signed by Andrea Ramseyer. It's who you know.

Last night's bible highlights: David was wrong to greive for his son!

by purrpurr in

last night's bible highlights was really eyebrow raising!

the brother pointed out at lenght about how david had wept when his son absalom was killed.

but that because absalom was killed while opposing jehovah that means that david was wrong and weak to greive for him.. it was applied to today by saying that if our children are df'd when they die then we should not grieve for them either!.

But when someone's relative from bethel passes away, bethel will have at least four to six halls plumbed in to the funeral talk. But hey, we shouldn't make a big deal about one's death. I guess bethel's favorites really lack faith in god especially when bethel will print out a brochure on one of their beloved governing body members after they take a dirt nap. Sick, sick, sick, people!

Residence fire damages building at Bethel in Congo (Africa)

by dropoffyourkeylee in

word is there was a fire yesterday at a residence building at congo bethel in africa.

lots of damage, a hundred or so out of a place to stay.

no one injured.

There is no doubt in my mind they will get their money back based on gullible people and the org's lies. We had a young missionary couple from Liberia tell us that the society pays out over thirty-five hundred dollars US per month for hydro. Most of the time when they need their washer or air conditioners on they use their generator. How can that be possible if you are using a generator most of the time? They said their government is corrupt. Now I realise it's the society that is corrupt getting what ever they can where ever they can. If your using a generator most of the time, there is no way it cost that much for hydro. But the people will believe it.

Looking for ideas.

by Driving Force in

i received an email from one of the elder in the local congregation.

i am not dfed so there is not a problem there, i am just an aggressive fader.. one of the last things i said to this elder before i stopped all activities was that i do not agree with the borg taking all the assets from the congregations.. here is what the elder said in the email:.

"i recently saw something while looking through the jw broadcasting for the month of may and i though about you.

Tell him you can no longer afford to keeping up with the organization. What's left in your bank account is either you providing for your family or the org but you can't do both. This feeling of never being good enough for them or doing enough has now affected other areas of your life such as your family. You now don't seem you can do enough for them either. You have been forced to make a decision!

Good luck.

A Tug on the Leash (The Authority Which the GB Wields Over the R&F)

by Oubliette in

recently, several comments have been made in various threads in reference to some of the recent changes to a few of the rules by which jehovah's witnesses must live their lives in unquestioning compliance.

the assertion has been made that these rules are a "relaxing" of previous restrictions.

the suggestion has been made that this somehow indicates a corresponding relaxing or loosening or lessening of the authority which the governing body (gb) holds over the rank and file (r&f) members of the religion.

And only when that dog no longer needs that prong collar, he is then guided by his own free will wanting to please his master every chance he gets. How sad on top of the collar restraint the publisher puts up with, they are then rewarded with the org's propaganda litertrash.

Excellent opening post! Love reading your comments Oubliette:)

So I decided to do it.

by WasOnceBlind in

ok, so i went ahead and got a tattoo.

well more than a tattoo, it is a half sleeve.

my parents haven't seen it, thanks to the chilly weather i've been wearing a sweater around them.

label licker

He will tell you that in the scriptures it reads that god detests tatoos. And that he has not changed. You can say if that's the case then god also detested swine and that that was the only animal out of all the unclean animals on earth you weren't even allowed to touch it. Yet, today we eat swine and touch it.

An excellent (and funny) example of Cognitive Bias

by Slave4_38y in

i saw this and immediately thought about how this relates to us.

once you've learned how to ride the ttatt-bicycle it's almost impossible to ride the "truth"-bicycle again.

That was well done! He looks like the same guy that was on one of these posts not long ago. Where he filmed himself going into a hall on memorial night.

Strange but Sad!

by John Aquila in

i had a couple of elders come visit me about an hour ago.

they wanted to inform me that a brother who was well known throughout the circuit had died.

(i actually knew about it but did not go to the funeral) he was about to hit 90 years old, missed it by a few weeks.

label licker

Well put, John. We have friends who left this disgusting filthy snake pit and they know their time is coming to be disfellowshipped. What boiled my ass was someone called his mother who is in a nursing home and is ninety years old. She is losing her memory yet some jackass had to call her and tell her that her son is an apostate. She was so upset she called her sixty-two year old son all upset and asked why would they do this to her. They did not leave their names, of course.

There is no excuse for elderly abuse let alone apostate abuse!!

Mark Sanderson Background and Warwick

by TakeOffTheCrown in

mark sanderson - here is some insight on his background taken from this site:.

congratulations, mark!.

He doesn't tell anyone about a girl he went out with and then broke up with because he felt it wouldn't be fair with him up in heaven (because he thinks he's anointed and anointed himself) and the poor girl left down here on earth all alone. I wonder what he thinks living with the seven anointed dwarfs and their wives. He's definitely not on the same train of thought as the other six stooges when it comes to marriage. No doubt the same thing when it comes to their falsehood doctrines.
