  Beth Sarim and Beth Shan - other boondoggles

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  if you were a religious organization publicly identified with predictingarmageddon soon, would you be motivated to build large and expensive edifices or hideaways in foreign lands?such as:a $ 1,425,400 property in which a welsh translation center could be maintained?.

  this looks like a pleasant location for doomsday, doesn’t it?.

  maybe just a fortunate location for.

  The deed to the Beth-Shan house and property were, like Beth-Sarim, made out to Abraham, David, and the other Old Testament "princes."

  Yes and this was done so by Rutherford so the land and properties were deemed as religoius compounds which created a tax exempt status to both of those properties.

  I get the impression Rutherford did this as means to cover over his lavish lifestyle, he probably knew that he was going to live there until he died.
  

  That tricky lawyer.
  

  The real heart and soul of this organization was power and money and the select few men who acquired it to themselves, those glorious kings of the Watchtower.

  The Recent Legal Decision and WT Hypocrisy

  by Slidin Fast in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  just to remind you, the recent court decision included a judgement about wt and freedom of speech something the organisation has long prided itself about.

  infosektamedia release of july 8, 2020 7. thewatchtower organisation denies members the human right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion according to article 18 statement by the expert (tages-anzeiger)"furthermore, article 18 states that everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion, a right that the watchtower society claims for itself but does not grant its members.

  " judgment of the court by ostracizing members who no longer share the faith, they are implicitly denied freedom of faith and conscience (proof of good faith).

  The evolution of the INVISIBLE JESUS doctrine: a TIMELINE

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  william miller (1782-1849), preached that the second coming of jesus christ would occur some time between march 21, 1843 and march 21, 1844. .

  miller was invited to preach his "proofs" to churches in many locations.

  many heard and became convinced.. millers followers may have numbered as many as 100,000. .

  Are You Afraid To Publicity Express Your Opinion?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  are you reticent to express your opinion when it comes to religion or politics?.

  when we were jws , we had to be so careful that we didn’t stumble anyone.

  are you comfortable saying that you don’t agree with someone or something even if it appears you are in the minority?

  everything JWs have to endure, is self inflicted.

  True but that's been propagated and instigated by the leaders of the WTS.

  The top leaders of the WTS were endeavored into controlling people lives for their own sustenance and exploitative self empowerment.

  They accomplished this feat by instilling fear and ignorance substantiated by the supposed Almighty's will and purpose.

  Many are starting to see it wasn't really god's will and purpose but those men who ran the WTS/JWS.
  

  These men made those who followed them apostate sinners in false prophesying.

  Actually I can see a lot JWS thankful they dont have to travel to a distant location to go to a summer assembly.

  Its a major inconvenience and cost to stay at a Hotel/Motel and have to pay for your meals etc.

  Now the lovingly provided bullshit can be absorbed right at home, while your sitting in your underwear, sipping a cool beer or a glass of wine.

  Dam its easy to be a JWS now days compared to how it was years ago.

  Elders have also been doing the rounds handing everyone

  their convention name badge....and the Dubs will wear those too!

  If there was a need to identify delusional insanity this would be a good indication.
