  "Are you the plumber?"

  by Jourles in

  1. jw

  i've been debating whether or not to post this story simply because the org knows who i am (post history from pre-'05 will tell you all you need to know), and i'm not sure if they would give my parents shit if they knew what transpired earlier this summer.

  but you know what, i don't care what they do, because my mom is dying of stage iv cancer and i feel this needs to be heard by anyone struggling with the loss of contact from their relatives.. for those who are not familiar with my background, i became a small thorn in the side of the wts while i was still in.

  i'm not big on being deceived, and for me, the org crossed my personal 'red line' when it came to blood and the child abuse issue.

  "The Branch did not approve of us to get a video security system"

  by James Jack in

  this was the reply i was given by our coordinator at our recent kingdom hall security meeting.. he explained that they aren't allowed to buy any appliances or do any changes to the kingdom hall without branch approval.

  "we put in our letter that a video security system could be purchased for around $600 locally and an app could be downloaded for the attendants to monitor the cameras what's going onoutside.

  " they said;" such a system would not be needed in our area of the country, if standard protocols of security are followed as outline by the branch.

  When I was with the RBC, everything had to be purchased at Home Depot, you know why?

  The Watchtower Society got 10% cash back on all purchases.

  When I mentioned that other Congregations have video cameras, I was told that they were in place before LDC arrangement or the local Elders never contacted (in error) the Branch.

  Each Kingdom Hall at least 2 Elders that represent the LDC interests and that implement any direction given by the LDC.

  What is crazy is that 3 Congregations would split the expenses, using the monies that we already have on hand, not relying on the Branch to provide these funds.

He went on to say that the Branch reminded them that at anytime that they have an access of funds on hand, that these funds should be forwarded to the Branch.

  Hello...

  by Incognigo Montoya in

  2. friends

  well, i've been lurking for a bit.

  first out of cautious curiosity, then, though feeling a bit more comfortable to post, got caught in the confirmation email anomaly, and left unable to post or participate.

  so i remained lurking, reading and researching.

  The Jehovah's Witnesses religion founded upon aggressive opportunistic people.

  by Finkelstein in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  taking a reflective look back onto the founders of the jw religion such as c t russell and j rutherford we can see very opportunistic people who were avowed to themselves more so than being actual true bible interpreters and adherents.. indication of that is just how closed in these men were in their individually devised theology such as pyramidology, end times doctrine, jesus has returned and so on, where there was no effort to substantiate these claims from outside sources by other christian religious organizations .. c t russell was not an trained bible theologian by any imagination he just absorbed any outside information that he thought was engaging or provocatively interesting and went about publishing what others had found or expressed.

  j rutherford was one these people who was lured into what russell was preaching and saw what the wts was as a publishing house and grab it including the money that russell had put into it.. the literature circulation and distribution continued on from him, what is realized now is the wts/jws preaching gospel work is not an faithfully accurate preaching according to scripture.

  more or less the wts leaders created a working cult around its own public sales representatives in the pretense of preaching the gospel of jesus christ.
