  TTATTElder: there is no financial transparency at the world headquarters. There is no Accounts Report from New York.

  This was one of the first things that got me to begin "waking up" to the scam of this religion.

  Every month, each and every congregation gives and open and (supposedly honest) report of their accounts. And yet the World Headquarters NEVER, EVER reports their financial activities.

  Why is that?

  The answer is obvious: they don't want anyone to know what they are doing.

  The inference is equally damning: They are hypocrites of the highest order. They demand complete, unquestioning compliance of their underlings, yet they act as if they are completely above the law. Why? Because they are. They make "the laws" and it is clear from their actions that they do not believe these laws which they make apply to them.

  Let's review: It's a cult!

  Congregation that have sent in money!

  by DwainBowman in

  in the past week, i have heard from a number of friends scattered all over the place.

  a number of them are very upset over the congregation being required, to send in all monies over $4,000.

  a number of these were kh's that were saving to buy land, and or build new kh's.

  Question: If YOU were the leader of a fairly significant world religion, would your main message be?
  

  1. Don't wear tight pants
  2. Don't wear colored socks
  3. Don't wear spanx when you exercise in public (for women only), and
  4. Don't go to college

  
  

  I doubt it. Mine wouldn't, that's for damn sure.

  If I ever had the rapt attention of millions of people I'm sure I'd talk about something more important that that shit. I'd wanna' focus on developing important human qualities like: love, compassion, forgiveness and empathy. But that's just me.
  

  Seriously.

  This guy is so clueless it's hard to quantify.
  

  Evidently, all of the Governing Body members are delusional fools. If it weren't so sad that millions of people--including my own children (yes, I have a dog in this fight)--follow them, it would be completely laughable.

  Maybe they're angry because this religion has destroyed their family or caused a death by their incomprehensible blood policy!

  If any one posted it on this thread, I missed it.

  Who can lay their hands on the WT quote(s) that the declining number of Memorial Partakers is one of the positive proofs that we are in "the Last Days"?

  It is interesting that the WTBTS's website will now indicate which hotels are "fully booked."

  Curiouser and curiouser.

  Good Netflix shows to watch

  by Simon in

  2. entertainment

  in the long winter nights you need some good tv shows to watch while you wait for the eternity between seasons of game of thrones.. we've watched marco polo (pretty good) and have just started watching orange is the new black which is not at all what i imagined (didn't know it was funny!).

  house of cards is on the list too as we've heard good things about that.. anyone have any others that are worth seeing?.

  "Over the years the number of those who are truly anointed has been getting smaller." - w2000 1/15, p. 12 

  This reminds me of a joke: There are three kinds of people in the world, those that are good and math and those that aren't!

  "one member of the governing body of jehovah's witnesses repeated the well-known saying: 'to know where we are going, we have to know where we have come from.'".

  you will find this statement on jw.org - under activities - the museum - "a tour through time.

  there jw.org is featuring a slick advertisement for the tour at brooklyn, bethel, of watchtower's museum containing their version of the history of the organization.
