how much money flows into the watchtower coffers at their annual fund raiser the district convention?.
former witness lurene stanley working along with her high ranking jw.
husband had the opportunity to see what goes on in the back room at disrtict conventions.
Rick, get a fuggin CLUE already and stop your bullshit. I have never called for ANYONE to be banned on JWD before, but I think Simon needs to put a stop to your self-promoting, sensationalist CRAP - which is what every post from you is.
I swear, you make Aguest look sane!
POSEUR!!!

why would he post a pic of byron brown, the mayor of buffalo, ny in this thread, http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/215638/1/former-jw-money-counter-at-district-conventions-tells-all .

Hahahahahahahaha!!! Rick made you look - SUCKA's!!
Actually, I have solved this caper. I have discovered through my radar who Rick Fearon REALLY is. He is the alter-ego of no other than Governing Body Member Garrett Losch!!
Yes, it's true, and I will be interviewing "Johnny" the closested homosexual slave boy of the late Leo Greenless who caught Garrett as his alter ego Rick dressed up in women's clothes and singing "We are the World".
Anyone is invited to call in hear testimony from the feminine sounding Johnny, but to hear this TRUE testimony it will cost you $8.95 a minute. You won't be disappointed - I promise!!!
Take me seriously - for real!
i have an announcement to make:.
rick henry aka "animal" has just passed away.
on july 26, 2011, rick suddenly fell ill (for no apparent reason at the time) and had to go to hospital.
Just re-read his intro. Sorry to see a bad-guy turned good go at such a young age. RIP, and let freedom ring.

as if the other sept. 15th wt thread i started weren't controlling enough - in another study article titled " run ..... that you may attain it " were you aware that just eating and wearing clothes on your body - might be a " stumbling block " to you ?
in a prior article on pg.
12 , paragraph 6 the wt society sets up what they are trying to get across by stating, " people of the world tend to seek personal interests first as " men of this system of things, whose share is this life.
But hey suckers, if you DO happen to earn a good living, save any kind of nest egg, and then drop DEAD - make sure that you don't leave one red cent to your loving children......give it all to the ORGANIZATION. We even have a brochure all about it!!! Yep, if you did happen to make a few Benjamins, we'll be glad to take them off of your hands. Just contact your local COBOE and be sure to make him Power of Attorney. F*ck your kids, they can scrub toilets till The End......it's right around the corner anyway.....soon......any day now......IMMENENT.
What a fucking con this religion is!!!
I also agree with the poster above who said back in the 90's (and 80's) when I grew up, things that were bad were: The UN (Wild Beast), nuclear war, murder, the Great Tribulation, persecution for your beliefs, finding work (because college was and still is OUT!), drugs, violence, gangs, etc.
What do today's WatchTowers tell us we should be afraid of? Why, "So-called normal things" like food, shelter, gainful employment, entertainment, the Internet (cable cord becoming a snake's head, anyone? SICK!), apostates, your inactive relatives, co-workers who are educated, college (same shit, different day here!), a nice car, being able to eat at Olive Garden instead of Dominos, etc.
I truly am amazed at how low this "so-called" religion has sunk in say the last 15 years. It's really awkward and twisted, even more so than before. How far off can the passing out of the Kool-Aid be at an upcoming Memorial talk I wonder?

fyi.
from worldwide report a brother from wallkill shared during congregation may 10, 2010. .
there are now 16 printing branches in the world, all of them are electronically connected so if one branch had to shut down because of disaster such as an earthquake, all they need to do is transfer the files to another branch and shift the workload there.
Did someone ask for that 1989 Watchtower Vs. Bound Volume?
If so, look no further! I got it right here.....
we always know when the gb or wt leaders are nervous and worried about potential alleged " threats " to jehovah's witnesses - because they repetitively keep mentioning these perceived " threats " in talks at assemblies or in wt articles constantly.. the " witness only " august 15th wt is no different.
in a non-study article entitled " the internet - making wise use of a global tool " once again the wt society instills doubt and fear into witnesses by " warning " them about use of the internet.
3 " while the internet can provide valuable information, save us time, and serve a useful function, it can also misinform us, consune an inordinate amount of our time, and corrupt us morally.
Start insanely ironic WatchTower Quote.....now......
"can become a desktop professor, pretending to be in the know, without even revealing his name. And there are no rules on who can publish ideas, information, images, and suggestions. "
^^^^ Gee.......who does THIS description describe to a "T"? Show me in the WT literature anywhere where the names of the writers are printed, and their qualifications listed. Hell, they don't even cite their sources 98% of the time.....you are just supposed to take the WT writers word for it, without question!!! I find this statement so incredibly ironic that I could just spit!!!!!
Do tell me WT Society, where can I find the names of your "Biblical Scholars" whom translated your Bible, along with their qualifications to do so, references used/cited etc?
What a bunch of hypocritical, two-faced bastards!!!!

once again , i couldn't resist sharing this wt study article from this issue.
it was just too good, or bad - depending on your perspective.
you will see the use of fear and guilt in this information - laying it on witnesses heavy as the title says " christian families - " keep ready " indicating armageddon is so close - so don't get wrapped up in materialism.. right from the get-go in the 1st paragraph fear tactics are used .
Flipper:
Good review and highlights, as usual. Boy, you gotta love the absolute hypocrisy that is spewing from the Writing Department upon the flock.
For instance, when talking about the need to not have the latest material possessions, one could mention that:
1.) The Governing Body Members were all recently issued iPads.
2.) The CO's sure seem to have nice cars AND cable TV!!
3.) If "The End" is right around the corner, then why sell off real estate in Brooklyn, and upgrade other facilities in Canada?
Also, when confronted with the fact the flock are worrying too much about PHYSICAL DISTRACTIONS, one could bring up the fact that:
1.) If this is the case, why is a multi-million dollar Recreation Facilty being build and remodeled at Walkill (also known as The Farm) containing numerous sporting venues like full-court basketball, tennis, pools, etc? That's millions of DONATED, JW member money by the way!! Gee, I thought sports promoted a "spirit of competiveness?" I mean hell, that's what was cast up to all of us young JW kids growing up whenever we asked to be on the school baseball, football, soccer, golf, swimming, basketball, or track teams? Also, we were advised not have gym or health club memberships because of it being "vain" and it taking away precious time from the "Field Ministry"?
Apparently, what's good for the goose, is NOT good for the gander, or in even simpler language, "Do as we say, NOT as we do." This article is absolutely disgusting based upon just the few highlights I've mentioned above, and is blatantly hypocritical. If I were sitting in the WT "Study", there is no way I could NOT raise my hand and mention these items.
The unbelievable gual that these bastards put forth as "spiritual food" is enough to make me vomit!!!

alphen aan den rijn, netherlands a gunman opened fire with a machine gun at a crowded shopping mall outside amsterdam on saturday, leaving at least seven people dead and wounding 15 others, officials and witnesses said.. the attacker was among the dead after fatally shooting himself at the ridderhof mall in alphen aan den rijn, mayor bas eenhoorn said.
the suburb is less than 15 miles (25 kilometers) southwest of amsterdam.. eenhoorn said that children were among the victims, but he could not confirm whether they were among the wounded or dead, or both.. "it's too terrible for words, a shock for us all," he said.. the gunman's identity was known and it was "all but certain" he acted alone, district attorney kitty nooy said, but investigators were not yet ready to release his name or age.
Sorry to be picky, but if he had an automatic rifle he was carrying around and reloaded the magazines, than it wasn't a "machine gun".
I seriously doubt this guy had a belt fed M-60 machine gun. He may have had an HK MP5 or even an UZI, but those are technically "Sub-Machine Guns".
The uneducated fear-mongering liberals who write these fear-inducing articles should really know what the hell they are talking about before trying to scare the shit out of everyone else. They only come off as the doucehbags that they are.

review comments will be headed by comments.
book of psalms._read psalm 8:3, 4, 7-9.. .
praise god in song.. .
An entire article on how we should all be thankful for those new awful songs, a dressing down for those not memorizing them, and advice on how to keep your pesky, ADD children in their seats for an entire 2-hour indoctrination meeting???
Just when you think you've seen it all from these control freaks, some article like this comes out!!! Seriously, if I were still in, articles like this one and the one last year about couples not showing affection during the meetings/prayer would seriously have me shaking my head and going - CULT - CULT ALERT!!!!! Because really, even when I was in (raised as a JW) there is no way that this type of stupid shit would be able to just flow in one ear and out the other......just no freakin' way!!! The shear "brazen" gold balls that these articles display is just incredible!!! What's next, advice on how to smack the shit out of your "disobedient" children when they have to pee during the meeting, as in how to do it in such a way that it doesn't leave those pesky bruises that "Worldly" teachers might see at school?
I've been saying this for years, and I used to kind of half kid about it....but seriously, "The beatings will continue until morale improves" seems to be the "theme" of the Governing Body when it comes to "shepharding" Christ's flock. When in doubt, "Flog the Flock!!!!"
Songs suck so bad that people barely mumble them? "Flog the Flock!!!!"
Publishers becoming apathetic and disallusioned with field service? "Flog the Flock!!!!"
Sighining and moaning over "The End" not coming yet? "Flog the Flock!!!!" (Also known as beating your fellow slaves)
Generation of 1914 99% all dead? Not the GB's fault, so fugg 'em, "Flog the Flock!!!!!" (it's their own fault after all for reading more into what was said, just like in 1975! Hey, it worked for ol' Freddy, so let's lay the blame at the sheep's feet and blame them again, suckers!!!) Flog 'em!!!
Youth leaving in droves? Time to tighten the screws and outright ban the internet and education!! "Flog the Flock!!!"
Need a blood transfusion? Hell no....we'll make it so confusing even an MIT graduate couldn't figure out the official policy, "Flog the Flock!!!"
Secret Elder's Book? What secret Elder's book? Have you been reading apostate websites again? Fugg you straying sheep, we'll DF you and your family can "flog" you from now on - Fugg ya'!!!!
Little Johhny the Bethelite was molested 5 years ago by Brother McFeely? Do you have 2 Witnesses? You don't? Well, even though you claim to have been "flogged" by Bro. McFeely, you have no evidence, so we'll flog you again, this time emotionally!!!! Flog you, pedophile victim!! Bro McFeely will be appointed Accounts Secretary next month!!
See the pattern? Blame the victims.......they can take it. Nothing is ever the GB's fault....not even the shitty songs that they themselves commanded be written and composed!!
this subject thread has been on my mind for a while, especially after seeing "zombieland" and foodall's thread about our possible ufo/reptilian over lords/realion/alien invaders.
when the great day of reckoning comes, whether it be from ufo alien invaders, realian reptilian over lords, demons in human-hybrid form, or just plain old virus-infected zombies, what will you be carrying to defend yourself from the hostile forces of e-vile?
please, no one say a "bible" or i'm going to just laugh my ass off.
@ Gregor: NO, my pistol is NOT a Colt Diamondback .38. It is not even a revolver, it is a semi-automatic pistol based upon the GLOCK design.
Some guys broke off from Kel-Tec down in Florida, and went over to Diamondback (yes, the boat manufacturer) and started up their own line of pistols. You can find their website online. www.diamondbackfirearms.com
Here is a photo of a Diamondback .380:
